Serral vs. Bunny's Creative Marauder Strategy - Starcraft 2

[@command5613]

Love to see the "gg wp gl" from serral at the end

[@michaelfishman6082]

He already made tons of money from sc2,can't be mad

[@donhartfield]

Bunny has been working hard to get so much better in the last year. Great to see him to do so well, then to take on Serral for making it to the finals. I appreciate the respect at the top too from Serral saying "gg wp gl". Even the GOAT loses every once in awhile. Great match! I'll look forward to Lowko covering this is a few days on his channel!

[@imacarrot6570]

Not trying to take anything away from Serral, but do Koreans think of Serral as the GOAT? It seems to me that SC2 has more of a goat club than a single goat, where maybe Flash is the actual goat in SC1. Do we need a goat?

[@therevolutionary537]

@@imacarrot6570 Serral is undeniably the best sc2 of all time right now. To say otherwise is delusion

[@imacarrot6570]

OK thank you for correcting me I am heartily sorry for having offended you.

[@imacarrot6570]

By the way, you didn't answer my question. Do Koreans consider Serral to be the GOAT?

[@christran9341]

@@imacarrot6570I’ve seen interviews before GSL games where the top of the top would rank serral as the top Zerg. He’s one of those people where they’re so good with a unit, they need it because of him. Similar to byun

I love that serral can no longer rely on simply making zero mistakes ever. Everyone else has risen to his level so if he wants to start winning again he needs to start getting more creative like these Koreans do

[@Lightwait321]

Lowko! Been watching your content for like 5 years now. Love to see you casting tournaments

[@imacarrot6570]

I want to see Serral's POV on the nuke. It seems like these guys are so fast at finding them ( except Solar :P )

[@matth9788]

Solar saw the nuke, he couldn't find the ghost tho

[@Lomni]

Easy enough, just wait for the replay pack to be released.

[@nohbodhi1120]

Terran cheese is always the most entertaining. With the other races their cheese feels like a build order win but with Terran even if its unscouted it feels like the stars have to align for it to work

[@REMME1998]

My favourite moment is when Bunny was speechless during the winner interview

[@pigzard01]

I wish more tourneys would allow players to use their skins. It's quite refreshing even if it's just another coat of paint.

[@avo616]

You would think they would want them to use the skins as a way to encourage people to buy them

[@generalaone]

Most of the time the players aren't using skins. You can just make them look like they are using skins. Its a spectator feature

The video feels a bit sped-up, like, animations are 20% too fast. Look at how fast the Banshees are shooting at 2:39

[@noname235]

It wasn't a marauder rush.. it's something else

[@amano22]

its marauder clickbait😅

[@SeventhSolar]

@@amano22 It’s not clickbait. The title says marauder strategy, Bunny has a marauder strategy. Basic as that.

[@jkkim6928]

A couple marauders tagging isolated queens is pivotal to the success of the build

[@SeventhSolar]

@@jkkim6928 I'm pretty sure his "marauder strategy" was the hit squads running around sniping bases.

[@matej___7___871]

casual fan here: is that lowko that i hear? nice made me happy, made me smile

[@donhartfield]

Yup. Lowko gets invited to do commentary at events from time to time.

[@chrisklugh]

Suggestion for the Editor: Make time cuts more obvious and flash the time (middle of screen) that was cut so we can see how much time may have passed. 10 seconds vs a minute is a long time for us the views to know how much or little 'off story' changes may have happened. I find every time there is a sudden cut, I'm thinking too much on what is different which takes away from the moment at hand. I find it easier to watch uncut videos with good commentary better then just trying to shorten a video. But a shorter video could be better if it did not leave me in mini dazes though out it.

IS THAT LOWKO?!?!

[@ktflash7583]

Impressive Bunny so aggressive woah that makes me inspire me to play Terran again!$_$

[@ferretdash]

you could see in bunny's face when game one ended he knew he couldn't beat him in a longer game. so he went for all out aggression every game after that to prevent a long drawn-out game like game one.

[@T1stG]

that game 2 was more of the penguin brothers rather than a marauder strat lol

The casters seem to think that even when serral has 60% the army supply of bunny, he is not behind!

[@br4dley]

Why do mines fire after they are already dead? If they die it should cancel firing or atleast just cancel the lock on and fire at the position it was targeting before it died.

[@azurblueknights]

Uh... all three games featured creative Marauder strategy. Marines and Marauders haven't been meta for a good while now, have you been living under a rock? Like especially against crackling+bane. Against that many swarming units, most Terran would heavily lean into mech with Hellbats and Siege tanks.

[@N0noy1989]

where's the Zerg OP whine? Can't you see that Zerg is just so battered with nerfs? Even the maps these days are just so anti-Zerg. And look at the new maps that won the map contest, it's like they hate the Zerg. But I'm not asking for a Zerg buff because I'll believe Serral will have a comeback in 2023. He has to evolve yet again to dominate despite the BS nerfs.

[@Societyman123]

Commentators sound like they're being fake

[@eurapeon]

Feardragon is fucking horrible. Not only is his overly inflected whiny voice completely insufferable but his commentary is literally worthless, stating the obvious or simply narrating things as they happen with zero insight. He has no comprehensive knowledge of the game or the players, and absolutely nothing slightly interesting or intelligent to say ever. I actually feel stupider every time he speaks. He is absolutely faking it and somehow he still gets paid.

[@munkeeplays3122]

It’s always Terran .fk Terran most op and dhukee race. They have an answer for everything and it’s nearly impossible to ever push them back . No skill involved

[@MichaelNatrin]

[@asdfasdf-mn8iu]

These games honestly look like Serral is matchfixing and earning money from bets. So many uncharacteristic mistakes by him, lack of scouting, sometimes looks like he's deliberately losing units quite honestly. Wouldn't be surprised and he wouldn't be the first.

it makes no sense to upload this AFTER the grandfinals.

[@pinky797]

first round, Bunny did so many mistakes and still holds. The balance is bullshit. Same thing PVT and zvp

[@jamomoritz6763]

But bunny did also deny so many bases. It were actual mistakes out of serral being out of position or going in too aggressively. People like you arent even Masters and think, they understand the game, just because it is simple to see, what a Terran is doing wrong instead of seeing what is a Zerg doing wrong, or a Terran doing better than the Zerg. I don't say, bunny played better, but he lost, so the balance is alright. But he didn't play poorly and outplayed serral many times to stay in the game. His amount of CC's were crazy and a big investment to stay alive, rather than investing it into units to defend his bases. But cry. Toxic people destroy games and are bad for the general game environment as well as bad for a healthy player base that support the game they are playing. My suggestion is just to leave the game, because complaining people more often hurt the game, than help the game, even if they are playing it. Complains can be alright, if the neutral conclusion leads to the point, that there is an imbalance. But luckily, this isn't someone irrational like you, it is someone that is breaking down numbers and analysing games, who has a deep game understanding.

[@pinky797]

@@jamomoritz6763 I am diamond 1 terran. I have been watching and practicing for years. before 2018, there was a thing called balance team. Before that, there was a man called davidkim. You tell me how can a game keep balancing when the balance team leader and the whole balance team is gone for 4 years. The map advantage, newly discoverd strategies thrive because there is no fix. The meta now is just defencer advantage. If a race has better lategame comp. The race will just have huge advantage for defencing and win. No matter how serieous the damage was done, no matter how poorly the micro was performed. The whole game will just end because one race's lategame comp is better. In the past, there was a thing called early game all in. Some greatest pros can even use those strategies to win few points in best of 7. But now, Only maru in TVT can pull up early game all in and win. Did you even think about why??? Its because the three race wasn't updated for years. Every single cheese are figured out. The defence is way easier than attack. Then what is the thing matter most? It is just late game comp. I don't know how you can identify I was TOXIC. my kind words get your nerves huh? But dont worry, All the stuff I talked about is irrelevent to u. Because You are not even at that level just like me.

[@pinky797]

I don't care about ladders. In fact I wasn't playing these years. The reason I care about top level balance is because my favorite terran player got poor performance and retired because of the poor balance. In 2018, 2 base damage was added to stalkers. The mines was nurfed and did not got rewine yet. At that time, all the races can defence to win except terran. As a result, No one can get into top 8 except for maru. Do you know why only maru can win as a terran at the moment? Because he was in a elite clan. His team members such as rogue were designing his games. Every single game he won at the time was designed specifically for his opponent. But who cares about the terran pro who did not get into top8? "maru got champ terran is op" Most of the community lives in a fake peaceful dream that "balance is not that bad. You see there is protoss, terran, zerg in the final" But when it comes to the reality, it is not. The meta now is in huge favour of macro players. Not micro players. that is the reason why my favorite pro player got retired and never desided to go back. terran only thrive these two years after the thore update was discoverd. and it cause the game in a huge favour of terran. But yeah, people like you will just chose to blind fold.

[@pinky797]

@@jamomoritz6763 You ask me how can the complain do? In fact those complains cant do shit. The mains stage in WCS wasn't for SC2 anymore. Infact, WCS was gone for years. But when people like you comes to me, I can at least teach them how the unfairness looks like.

[@Santisima_Trinidad]

Yes, the defensive race is in fact capable of holding on for a significant period of time against someone who is playing a primarily burst agression style, and is repeatedly running directly into the most well defended section of the opponent's defense. And thats before you forget bunny killing off/denying nearly a dozen of serrals bases, which significantly hampers zerg. Also, don't forget, terrans tend to be stubborn buggers, and will stay in for a good 5 minutes after it becomes apparent they have zero hope of winning.
