29:40 "Serral so good, Serral so good. Mmm!!" LOL

[@Ianuarius]

I love it when you talk about strategy while casting, like what a player should do in a situation, what makes sense what doesn't, such as pull troops back because of something etc.

[@PiGCasts]

thanks mate

[@richardnary4572]

havent played starcraft in ten years. getting back into it and you have been the most entertaining presenter ive run across so far

Welcome back, Rich. We missed ya, man.

[@waggerdagger2831]

Yes, pig is definitely best caster.

[@TrentBattyDrums]

Pig is the best, not even a contest. 🎉

[@itranscendencei7964]

Classic out here being an inspiration. GGs

[@Nosxplode]

I honestly appreciate the 4k. Thanks so much mate!

[@free2chasehappy]

Wow… Great game and great casting!

[@Overgis4058]

Classic is so good, yet a bit inconsistent. I love watching his games, you never really know who has it because all his games have so many turning points.

[@kommisar.]

I think he is the most creative of all the top-level Protosses right now (of which there are admittedly not many at all) though. I think he has the best Storm usage. Amazing seeing him destroy wave after wave of Lings and Banes with his HT's and Colossi placement. Other Protosses make exciting, aggressive games, but Classic seems to be more innovative (other than that crap Prism harass in game 2).

[@AlexCatable]

Absolute banger of a game and top class commentary! Such a pleasure seeing Classic back on top, finishing even the Finnisher and not by cheeses but in three grand late game series. Thanks!

[@PiGCasts]

Couldn't agree more!

[@kommisar.]

Were games 1 and 3 really late game? Definitely game 2.

[@AlexCatable]

@@kommisar. They absolutely were.

[@ZC.Andrew]

Ugh, Brood Lords caught in a Time Warp are so painful to watch. It's like when you're running from monsters in dreams.

[@Manwu5]

Great cast pig! Thanx for the wonderful content! Nothing better than a roasted zerg to begin your day with

[@matthewclark7955]

Damn. The theoretical approach by classic in the last game was seriously impressive

[@mauro_weee]

What do you mean? to me it was just a lucky counter build

[@kommisar.]

@@mauro_weee He hid the Stargates and the Fleet Beacon for almost the entire game. He also got Stalkers with ugprades to counter the Corruptors. Hardly "lucky" at all.

[@trstnhn]

@@mauro_weee And yet I bet you can't tell me what he "luckily countered" LOL

[@thormush2727]

Amazing series, nice to see protoss doing well

[@tokudayo]

I wasnt too surprised to see an one-sided match in favour of Reynor in the ZvT grand finals. I really hoped Classic could have made it to the finals instead

[@SeviersKain]

Serral's gonna evolve after this defeat...

[@afailable]

Pigs quick maths is legit astonishing

[@jeaorbman]

Been watching Starcraft for years. I love your casting PIG. Thank you. Hope you keep it up!

[@PiGCasts]

thnx Josh!

[@yunfanfan9452]

So satisfying to see the lurkers bbq courtesy of Classic. For terran it's hard to directly face off against lurker as tanks are way too slow, ghosts way too fragile, and air units suck. At least range and tankiness of toss units can confront directly with more success.

[@marquinocompaniados5099]

Wow Ryung! Never expect you win against clem. Nice game kudos to maru and ONSDe team

[@Follow.Jesus.Christ]

Classic has become a total BEAST, wow what a phenomenal play, I think he is the best player in the game

[@Tc93412]

Excellent casting as usual!

[@Amoeby]

I'm just looking forward to the next patch so +2 banes won't one-shot probes. I mean, just look at this 9:38 Classic killed all banelings but ONE and it killed 10 probes. Such a bs.

[@Amoeby]

@@SD-jf7nb excuse me, what's the point of your comment? I just don't get it.

[@mahliz]

pig we are almost at 20k subbs, we might hit it in this video. Me watching this video and looks at the number, 21 100 subbs. Well deserved mr piggy. By far my favorite sc2 caster, well in fairness I only watch 1 sc2 channel, as I alot of the time watch it more for your amazing and funny commentery rather then the game play as I don't play sc2 or follow the pro scene (I do watch some tournaments on twitch if there is nothing else I would rather watch. also a thought accured to me watching this and the raynor series vs classic. If Serral is the best defensive zerg, the one that takes the least damage from early game what is Raynor's speciality, if we are assuming that Dark is the best offensive zerg (with all his killer instincts), I suppose one of raynors ability's is to get the most ahead from the early game, as in he takes more risks then Serral and drones up even bigger and still have an uncanny ability to defend well enough.

[@PiGCasts]

Reynor is insanely fast. His multi-tasking is second to none and he's very comfortable playing in messy and scrappy situations. A lot of situations any other zerg would be overwhelmed he will use great tactics combined with his incredible speed to get himself back into it. He also is quite unpredictable at times and able to play through weird situations with a lot of confidence, his level doesn't really drop even in unfamiliar territory

[@jpj7087]

its been a long time since i've watched a starcraft video but this popped in my recommended, i gotta say im not unhappy to have clicked on it^^. great commentary keep it up !

[@m.czandogg9576]

7:56 I'm a Zerg but damn that was a nice hold :D

[@TrentBattyDrums]

Awesome game Pig! Love these classic games. ❤

[@IanDoesMagic]

Some of the weirdest analogies I've ever heard. Keep up the good work.

[@PiGCasts]

Appreciate that, the insanely long games always bring out the weird analogies

[@IEHD01]

Congrats on 20k subs

[@pureflu]

Wow. Great Game!! one of the better game in the year and possibly sc 2 era!! Saludos desde Mexico Pig cast!

[@PiGCasts]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ezlyfe1069]

i dont think i have ever seen protoss beat zerg in an even pro match where zerg didnt troll/fail a cheese or all-in

[@Jaguar-lr7jq]

The prize money 400k? 😮

[@darthmanymen]

sooo rare to see zerg lose to protoss especially if its serral GG !!

[@paulhamtorlia3039]

Best Precise Zerg vs Best Perfectionist Protoss

[@logicomega7]

Considering how superior the zerg are to the protoss, I'd say Classic played brilliantly.

[@andrewduan5123]

might just be me, but it feels like Serral is losing more often than not in these recent tornaments. Maybe its just that nobody is casting the Ws, but i cant remeber that last PiG cast where serral won, except maybe vs Gumiho?

[@clorkmagnus]

That was an official major tournament and this one is a sponsored tournament. Also, you expect a bit much since he literally just won a major tournament prior to this lol. Also, this is a different format from their standard tournament format. And Reynor, Cure or Classic had a way longer not winning anything streak than Serral. Also, he had a long ass winning streak against Toss players 😂

[@andrewduan5123]

@@clorkmagnus fair enough

[@PiGCasts]

He wins so much and so dominantly that I don't cast all of his wins, but he loses so rarely that I definitely cast all of his losses. Same thing with Maru and Reynor usually as well. The curse of greatness

Ну да у меня фотка есть где я колю свинью я боялся мы 2 держали долго умирала со 2 удара попали в сердце. На фотке ее отрубленная голова...

[@zhadoomzx]

Dude... game 2 was the macro game of the year.

[@demonstormgaming]

Damn, the ultra late game pvz is in a really sad state. You can see classic not know what to do when he builds void rays out of all units, that are simply horrible against infestor/corruptors, but because he doesn't really have any meaningful choice. Protoss is much better off playing a zerg type of style with ground units and not letting zerg get to late game, or at least this kind of ultra late game. It's funny because corruptors lose 1:1 against void rays, but infestors on the field will always make them the best anti air unit in the game.

[@lvo9197]

Problem is, winning the early or mid game is not always a choice, specially against a player like Serral

[@AlexCatable]

The late game PvZ was a problem for years now. There were times with infested marines and 30 Infestors armies. Protoss had has sort of ace in the form of black hole but it got removed. Now, late game protoss simply can't do shit against the zerg, ground force will be shut down by lurkers, air force is stopped by spores/I festors/Vipers/corruptors combo which is somehow easier to use than air toss plus storms plus ground support. And it adrenaline zerglings are just better at backstabs than anything protoss have. When Terrain gets into Vikings, Ghosts, Liberators it can stand up vs Zerg. Protoss just can't.

[@trstnhn]

@@AlexCatable Zerg is just broken vs all races. Reason why players like Serral and Reynor have lowest winrate is mirror match-up. They don't have the race edge in those.

[@normanwierdle6749]

GG Classic!

[@MrTickingtime]

96% win rate against protoss. WOW. it's not balanced when the winrate is that high.

[@mattf.5820]

balls on slugs.....GG

[@PashaSlavaUkraine]

here i was thinking game one was insane. then game two came, JESUS. Classic def played fantastic. earned that W

[@rustytaco8412]

Even though protoss won, they are still so underpowered. The only time protoss ever wins any game against Terran and especially Zerg is when they mess up. Protoss never actually wins games. The opponent only loses them.

[@mauro_weee]

I'm heart broken for serral 💔

[@MM22966]

1st Game: Classic beat SERRAL with no economy.

[@VeryBadPlayerTV]

seeing those colossus in game 1 and knowing they are still base colossus is disappointing. veterancy when? makes zero space that much more hype

[@kyontran2842]

Skyloser toss..... wait till next patch where protoss have a better chance. Sadly... guess who won the tournament?

[@Nobunaga1983]

The developers of StarCraft should be ashamed of how bad they balanced sky toss. It’s so useless and expensive

[@ezlyfe1069]

serral is clowning... why would he go lurkers in g1?? playing for fun not to win because any half decent player knows he should have gone broods

[@doctorstainy]

+3 colossus vs no carapace armor in the first game was painful to watch. Swarmhosts would be so nice vs that type of protoss army, but serral was already maxed out and the sh cost way too much supply imo. give zerg 220 max=)

[@mark11tz]

There is no +3 colossus in Gamer8 tournment. They modded the bug out.

Is this the one sponsored by Aramco? We must be really desperate. Aramco.....? I love sc2. I don't love Aramco. Just gotta throw that down.

[@panelama493]

Gggg

[@doctorstainy]

this lategame banking tiny harass is kind of boring, the two siege units tempest and swarmhost are just too supply inefficient to be used as a way to force a fight. If serral made 5 nydus and 25 overseer , then start to trade with big army at same time shut down protoss production with mass nydus lings and contaminate, classic would not be able to remax. Some untapped zerg potential imo.

[@alexharper4640]

Thanks for spoiling gamers8 in the title fam.

[@PiGCasts]

Spoiling the tournament that ended 17 days ago? ROFL Also how did it even get spoiled!? It's a groupstage match lol
