Serral's New Strategy (clickbait explanation) - I've never seen Nydus like this as an actual travel/escape option for bases. Reminded me very much of Brood War style Zerg. Dark also uses mass Nydus like a bullying tactic, but Serral as usual makes it look like the new standard procedure.

[@ThePatrykono]

love this TL:DR with it i dont mind the clickbaits ;)

[@SD-jf7nb]

Used be the Zergs only option on island maps, Terrans would usually beat you too it, z building should crawl. You can just build another nydus to feed a hatch cluster, and avoid xfers being detected, without immediately alerting them. All nydus are equal now so you can't get your army trapped if they snipe the originating nydus, the whole network would collapse on your army if inside in wol, but I think you can still get out of the other end now, though it cannot respawn? Not sure. Either way, Two is better than one, you can hit both sides of the map simultaneously, spread creep, and it's a really terrorizing sound effect.

[@Daniel-rd6st]

I have seen it from Serral before, though he seems to be pretty much the only zerg who does it. I wouldnt be surprised if thats how the game developers imagined the nydus being used, when they implemented it, closer to its SC1 counterpart 🙂 Another little quirk of Serrals playstyle i have noticed over the last few months are his droppalords. I have seen a few games, where he just morphs around 5 or so, without using them, giving me the impression that, like with some techbuildings, he just builds them to have the quick option to use them if needed.

[@12321dantheman]

I'd call it more of a tactic than a strategy 🤓

I need this kinda commentary on my channel. NEED

That is why I search daily for uploads on this man's channel as soon as I get home from work. Unparalleled narration

[@kailenpiardi2721]

Underrated commentary

[@Erik_123]

"Cure is in a very long death animation ... " LMAO

[@ObsidianShade]

"And banelings, do not age well--- or ideally at all..." That one was priceless.

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

the absolutely absurd amount of time Serral spent preventing Cure from taking HIS OWN top right base in game 1 is downright hilarious lol

[@jeronimosuarez7957]

31:04 the lokobomb 😂

[@mechaman7818]

6:36 I dunno. I used to do Oxy a lot while playing CSS, and it was undeniably a performance enhancer. It would give you the ability to have a razor sharp focus, concentration levels at maximum... Until you started coming down and nodding out. Though there was one time I killed like 6 other players while nodding out, so that was cool. I wouldn't have believed it happened myself, but I was pubbing and on Ventrilo with some of my CAL-M team at the time, so they all saw it lol. When I snapped out of my nod they were losing their minds. Apparently without my pesky "thinking" to get in the way of my reflexes, I could pop several heads in a second. I imagine STIM is doing something similar.

[@B1gLupu]

It's kinda odd. It looks like Serral is playing quite a bit slower than in his "golden era" of 2018 & 2019, but somehow he is even more deadly. It's like he slowed down a bit to be a lot smoother, with great results.

[@Laiquelleion]

Thanks for the cast Winter. I appreciate you

[@rileythornton2000]

Even as a Zerg I was kinda rooting for Cure here. Serral just seems so indomitable you can't help but cheer for the underdog. A tenacious one at that. Great game and great cast yet again.

[@sTeaLthPoett]

Give us more Serral!

[@davidstud3952]

This guy's casting has gotten so good over the years, should be hired for the big events!

[@ex0696]

I haven’t watch you and SC2 for 3 years. Nice to see you finally aged a bit where you not screaming every 2 minutes 😂I’m kind of missing this but yeah I like new version of you! Funny, sarcastic, full of jokes. Clean and with the trill. Nice to see you mr. Winter keep going!

[@RYXPfan]

It's been a while since I've seen cure - it's good to get him back :)

[@WolfGangDealers]

The top of the top in SC2 continue to surprise me to this day. Man do I wish I was even half as good as them

[@Czecholog]

I really appreciated the 69 hidden joke. "70 drones! 69 to be exact... Which is NICE enough." :D (33:38)

[@Nauda999]

Good to see that starcraft is still played.

[@Nauda999]

Last time Serral lost in a tournament to a terran that is not Clem, was Maru in 2021-11-21. Let's see what 2024 brings. Back in 2017/2018 when Serra got to into the spotlights, I always hoped he would go play in GSL, but once can still hope, right?

[@galavarez]

Watching you for a long time, your sense of humor is awesome bro😂

18:46 the term you're looking for is Spirograph, like with all the gears and whatnot and you made geometric patterns? Aren't you like a decade younger than me? I'm 36, was not expecting that blast from the past haha.

[@mrblondeful]

Love your content got me back into the genre keep at it.

[@jibreel1788]

i think stim packs would give you hyper focus like adderall to line up shots faster, otherwise you need longer to aim between bursts with a high recoil rifle in a bulky suit and tough to maneuver hand extensions

[@Ghost_of_the_Mountain]

Finally some Cure games!

Winter can you also share these interviews and non game casting sc2 content? Oh maybe you do on a diff channel?

[@eztvlight1202]

Yeah, we need Winter take on the news. Do you have a suit Winter?

[@Armin.89]

Didn't even watch it, is it about producing 180 supply worth of zerglings, morphing them into banelings over and over again, A-move into opponent and then instant remax?

[@markushamann3542]

Am I wrong or would A SINGLE raven make the tank push much faster and easier? What am I not considering?

[@adrianong360]

Great video!! Just wondering why pro players do not use blueflame hellbats to defend against lings run by in the late game?

[@MikeRochaMusicAcademy]

Yes!!!

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

I always think produciton is better to take out against terran, Since it requires an scv to rebuild and rss, and time. and you do engage the army, so if yo uget a lot of produciton and some of the army, you can out produce and ahve a larger window and can then hit their economy harder... in a tiem response... and kill more scvs... money means nothing if yo ucan't keep your nubmers up

[@mylucyrk]

Hostile corporate takeover for sure

am i crazy? why is it so red..too much contrast?

[@williamchristoffersen6658]

Wild at how underpowered Terran still is

[@alltat]

Until you see Clem playing, and Terran looks preposterously overpowered. (Edit: And the reigning world champion plays Terran, so there's that.)

[@REDRAGON12345]

@@alltat If you look on Liquipedia, under 'Major Tournaments,' the last three tournaments have been won by 2 Zergs and 1 Toss (Dark, Serral, and Hero). Terran has won none of them. Just a matter of time until Terran gets a much-needed buff.

Yeah sure, thats why its the most played race lol. You are looking at goat of zerg and drawing conclusions.

@@prime3482 The human race, in any game, is always the most played. It's the race newer players go with as it's connected to the campaign, obviously. Yes, I'm looking at the greatest Zerg players and drawing conclusions. And I'm comparing them to the greatest of the other races. Why on earth would I look at the weakest players and draw conclusions.

@@REDRAGON12345 difficulty highly correlates with player count, in vast majority of cases the easiest options are the most played.

[@TommyKay]

this game showed me it was wise for me to quit sc2. an utterly imbalanced game. ive been watching pro games for a year now and the amount of time terrans get away with misstakes is ridicilous. the things zerral has to show and do to remotly keep up with these terrans is a joke.

[@nogghorn7080]

holy shit tommykay in the winterstarcraft2 youtube salt mines honestly Terran and Zerg are relatively close in powerlevel after that horrible patch earlier last year was mostly undone. (am a zerg player) toss is absolutely in the shitter right now I absolutely feel for them.

[@R1po]

super boring... Cure not going air against Roaches, Lings and Lurkers in the first game is incomprehensible... game was lost at 14 minutes... the next 15 were only delay
