Serral vs HeroMarine ZvT - Semifinals - WCS Valencia 2018 - StarCraft II

[@marketpie6637]

When doing literally anything against Serral is an achievement: *Heromarine kills a single creep tumor* "Great job at cleaning out that creep tumor!"

[@DB-yj3ii]

Love it that Artosis at this time, for some reason, wasnt convinced of Serrals superiority.

[@PerfectMarketingNow]

Serral is such a monster but his voice doesn't match his skills. Something like Mike Tyson

[@WalknTalknStevnHawkn]

he's a finn, a lot of them are like that lol

[@Jakkomies]

It's because of the finnish accent. Finnish language is a monotonous, somewhat nasal sounding language

[@논논-e8k]

Totally

[@Lerppunen]

The Finnish language is monotonous but definitely not nasal. Swedish and French are nasal.

[@newera478]

Very normal for us Finns. Check Kimi Räikkönen's interviews. (:

[@tontolava2]

I'd love to see the APM count. There were playing at 2 different levels imo..

[@TombaTomster]

What's that ambient background music? (for instance at 1:00)

[@AlexanderKirkpatrick]

It's official, if you put epic music behind any kind of event even between two players playing a video game, it just makes that event feel epic. Just imagine if you put this kind of music behind young kids who are about to go on a ester egg hunt and have commentary before hand on who is the favorite to find the most chocolate. Can anyone else imagine serral in this situation as a kid with such a serious face, lol.

[@Inflatableorc]

14:59 Dat 'Soup-Lie' though

[@MsNotorials]

This shows why you don't commit to both bio and mech, just the amount of production and tech you have to get just to transition will not leave you enough to build a standing army.

[@IberoCream]

20:08 Its me and my friend! xD ♥

[@GeneralErlend]

Hmm wonder if liberators would be better at defending vs the locust waves.

[@Bigger_SUVs_to_increase_Swaag]

Not directly Vs Locus, must had many Liberators i guess & serral would have shoot them with ravagers..

[@GeneralErlend]

​@@Bigger_SUVs_to_increase_Swaag I meant having about 4 liberators in fighter mode, not defender mode. Locusts are light bio units, so technically they should be very weak against liberators while they are in the air. But then again, you only need to spread your swarmhosts.

[@Bigger_SUVs_to_increase_Swaag]

Nice idea to shoot Locus with Liberators in air, never saw someone do that. If caught early, they might get all of them & push away swarm hosts with scan or a raven

[@romelquisedequeassis5273]

melhor jogo do mundo parei de dota pra esse dai

[@wahhmann123]

Hmm almost could worked it he kept making banshee with this strategy to counter roach swarm host and actually did damave with hello a

[@pahakasvivenuksesta2653]

so hard to say backwards but u have a point.

[@whelingtonsilva5758]

Also a better coverage of the sts with those hbs. I've seen Inno take almost no damage with less hbs than him

[@SamO.780]

He wouldn't have gone swarm host if he didn't scout 3 factory.

[@ehop6314]

Here come the comments about OP zerg. When in reality Serral is just killing it right now. His timing, micro, macro, and decision making are all on point. You don't win multiple international tournaments in one year by being a slouch. Anyone who says the game is unbalanced: stop whining. if it were so unbalanced then more pros would play and win as the allegedly OP race. 2018 WCS Valencia: 1 zerg in top 4 ; 2 zergs in top 8. 2018 WCS Austin: 2 zergs in top 4; 3 zergs in top 8. Go back in tournament history. If a race is truly OP, the balance team takes care of it quite quickly. stop whining because a race you don't like has a different play style and different choices that make it difficult.

[@scipio764]

I only hear of blizzard over nerf never over buff.

[@elsuperjoe2006]

Yo creo que no está balanceado, zergs se reproducen muy rápido y tienen mayor resistencia. Prontos se reproducen lento y no tienen la misma resistencia… Algo anda mal. 😠

[@under90seconds]

5:53 that weak geek arm shake :D

[@rodrigosinastre7203]

A mesma estratégia venceu as 3 partidas

[@논논-e8k]

Serral you are queens son

[@martintran7837]

first game, every second counts

[@DirtdoingThings]

They need to work on trash talking or something. It’s like Timmy vs Jimmy in South Park. However they extremely dirty in SC2

[@Caldera01]

Trash talk doesn't come naturally to Finns. We're bit too reserved and self concious to put others down. We're much more likely to be critical of ourselves than others. Combine that with the e-sport culture in general where trash talk is not exactly a favored way of behaviour. Sure, Idra made a career out of it, but it's arguable that it was fully an act, don't know. Then again he is American where trash talk is a lot more prominent.

[@pahakasvivenuksesta2653]

Serral just so good :)

[@0Groma0]

It was ra.pe :(

[@Geistie1337]

bad audio

[@СергейКузнецов-ж6ф5ю]

Awesome

[@curiousfn]

Let's go

[@keep_walking_on_grass]

the ultimative zerg.

[@ccaicuri]

ez victory

[@mancamiatipoola]

Meh, what a boring match. That Heromareen is so outclassed it is painful to watch. No scouting, no harass, no adapting wacky strategies to shake up the game. Just does the same boring mech tech and loses unsurprisingly. What is he even doing in a WCS?

[@socrates_the_great6209]

swarm hosts are stupid overpowered when you can make them ignore units/buildings and jump strait ontop of tanks. Makes mech useless and tanks in generall useless.

[@instinctz1]

thats why you put the units that are supposed to tank for the tanks around the tanks instead of just off in left field. many pros have been able to do this well. just because HeroMarine sucks doesn't mean anything.

[@jabalsal3466]

mech+bio hahahaahaah

[@7thquark309]

sounds good, doesn't work

[@socrates_the_great6209]

2-3 factories bio is 10x better

[@Douglas77755]

Zerg has a counter to everything, it would seem. Quite overpowered imo. and I haven't played in a couple years, so I'm not biased

[@hylkevanderheijden4858]

every race has a counter vs every other unit of every rance. and i haven't played in a couple of years, so i am not biased.

[@Caldera01]

You have to remember that right now, Serral IS the best non-Korean in the world. You really need someone like Maru to take him down, or something. Heromarine, Showtime, Nerchio? Pfft... not a chance. Well, maybe that's a bit unfair, but seriously, Serral is a monster. If you look at his other TvZ's you'll quickly understand why. He really does take the Zerg mentality and like a swarm of ants ripping apart a bee, he tears his opponents up nibble at a time, until he has reached critical mass and just overwhelms his opponent. If you let Serral just take over the map with creep and hatcheries, you're never going to have a good time. You need to do something to throw him off balance and not just leave him unchecked.

[@Douglas77755]

Caldera he’s really good. Really good. At everything, that’s for sure. I just feel like an equal level player of another race cannot beat him haha

[@instinctz1]

literally every race has counters to everything. thats how the game is designed. but hey, if Zerg is so overpowered, show me what any zerg not named serral did this year after the Hatch drop tech was nerfed?

[@ThanhTran-pi4qw]

I hate it when a Zerg player being champion. Zerg units tech up so OP even they are hard to manage, it counter everything without getting easily countered. What makes me want to watch is someone as Toss or Terr be good enough to beat Zerg guy like Serral.

[@marianorivera3272]

Thành Trần how many GSL's does Serral have ?

[@ThanhTran-pi4qw]

none yet, but very many WCS 1st place tho

[@ThanhTran-pi4qw]

He's now in lead of WCS points with a ridiculous 10920 points, more than the total of 4 people behind him. lol f**k

[@MaisieDaisyUpsadaisy]

Thành Trần If you want Terrans and toss that can own Serral, and Seth in general, go over to Korea.

[@Barbaari111]

[@lucaspropstmilik8149]

Heromarine is such a goof.

[@socrates_the_great6209]

He just is a lower level than Serral. Got no surprises in the bag, nothing special about him.

[@Robology13]

rekt

[@REDRAGON12345]

Prediction: Overpowered zerg wins 3-0

[@cameronmiller6240]

It’s Serral that’s overpowered not Zerg.

[@bl8896]

Zerg is the easiest race, point & click & forget, rinse repeat. Any race that can remax their entire army in a couple clicks is lopsided turdfest

[@MsNotorials]

I think your a bit salty about losing to zergs yourself =->

[@bl8896]

no doubt salty, but zerg does have it too easy

[@MsNotorials]

I think personally that they are pretty balanced, sure they can spam units but some splash damage will rip through zerg units pretty easily if they're left untreated.

[@joeking5215]

Swarmhosts noob play..
