Serral looks near unstoppable playing a swarmy style like this. The nydus worms for drone transfers so he's almost always mining a base that normally belongs to Terran is stellar, and provides a way to let drones escape the yolo bases and return to mining a different base very quickly thus keeping the economy very high all the time. Not having to run 20-30 drones across the map every time a expansion goes down adds up quickly.

When the siege tanks were stuck on that depot, i felt that in my finger bones

[@hugaexpl0it]

happened too often

[@etistyle96]

so painfull to watch even as a main zerg ToT

[@jprunsfunny]

Talk about supply (depot) blocked

[@SzelkiPana]

Serral is cheesing, Lowko's rick'rollin... What a strange day!

The world is turning into memes

A treat to watch Serral. He doesn't release too many replays to keep us hungry and appreciative. Great cast and a big ouch for Byun.

[@mickaelignel3324]

Serral is like the overmind himself. no matter how many losses we are countless

[@mido5126]

i think "Overmind" should be one of his nicknames from now on! it sounds great and it really suits him so much!

[@1KamaronConClase]

Absolutely a BANGER of a game! Serral showing no mercy, in a brilliant execution of the "Zerg Flood" GG Well Casted!

[@TCPUDPATM]

He plays like the hive. Incredible.

[@djordjeilic5355]

I've lived long enough that lowko Rick rolled me

[@karln9730]

I love zerglings as a late game unit

[@irrefutablefox2388]

I have been watching you cast for so long and I love watching this game and you cast and play it Lowko, so enjoyable.

[@dannes22]

Serral really played that last game as a perfect zerg, really cool to see him "play" one of the best terrans ever like this. GOAT

[@CubeItself]

corrosive boost chrono growth i love these silly names xD

[@petertk3604]

Serral is looking mighty scary in this game , i wish innovation gets good again and 1v1 him

[@Pfasma5]

Whenever there was a roach, my mother would call them Ronnie the roach like how you say Jimmy the marine. She would be ok if you wanted to use that…

[@mido5126]

He IS zerg by himself by now. just crazy! Such a good game!

[@frendobendo4433]

It feels like a lot of recent casts have pro players making weird amatuer mistakes. The cloaked ravens and the tanks stuck in the main base being the biggest offenders. The fungal growths were so well aimed in this match I don't even know if those mistakes even mattered in the end though...

[@kinghenrock3598]

He's just sitting back absorbing every blow.... pause 😂

[@atrudokht]

When I play as Zerg, I like to take the essence of local faunas too, just like the campaign story. Don’t be so surprised for what Serral did to that lil bird, Lowko

[@stupidcommenter8447]

The lings were mainly to keep byun in his base. Serral just wanted to keep mining. I think so at least, irdk what’s in his brain

[@werloni9868]

ByuN in the video LETS GOOO

[@akinetsu893]

Imagine a title "serral protoss rushes byun" could be awesome and unexpected

[@YodasMessenger]

This is what it means to face the swarm. You can win as many fights as you want, take efficient trades, make the fanciest army you can dream of but in the end, the countless tide consumes all.

[@vitorh3568]

For a moment I almost watched the same replay I watched.. yesterday I believe? Harstem cast it xD Would be nice if Lowko and Harstem could come to an agreement on that to avoid casting same replays.

[@user-km8mn1ii3m]

Probably lack of good high level games. Harstem, winter, lowko sometimes cast same replays

[@pvasant]

I liked the different commentary. Harstems harsher on mistakes and talked more about Serral outlining and not allowing the outer two bases for the win. Lowko on the tech route and how it effected the game. These two would make a great commentary team!

[@zergbot]

Love watching both Lowko, Winter and Harstem commentate on games as they make it entertaining. Just never for Wardi-he makes watching paint drying 1,000,000,000,000,000 x less torturous.

[@glennriter5965]

What I expected: Serral performing a zergling rush and cheesing everything up. What I received? A master class.

[@catamenia8485]

Lowko MVP!

[@Yeppersss]

For every video I bring out the whiskey and glasses and every time he says iem katowice I take a shot.

[@JumpingTomato]

I remember back in the days is was an uwritten law to not kill the innocent creatures roaminh around. Im fact as Zerflf, you could parasite them and they would give you great vision.

[@Ravilrob]

Amazing!

[@zegreatpumpkinani9161]

I like how in that first game Byun took way too much damage but decided to play out ending that push anyway. Gotta respect it!

[@Hizashisam]

It's buburu lowko!!

[@Spartsou]

Plot twist: Dark is playing with Serral's account

[@atrudokht]

Nay. Dark’s play style is different, I can tell. Serral has the ‘flawless proliferation’ swarm style second to no one.

[@DanielAugustoCavalcante]

That vulture is called "URUBU" in Brazil.

[@Cesard.verdugak]

BYUN is definitely one of the best in the world. But serral was on different level for this match up

[@viktorhillar5145]

Anyone knows if blyonfire is still active?

[@zapoyou2]

I was having a little bit of a nerd-gasm as well hah.

[@hangnumburs]

I feel like lowko is pulling a harstem on us...

[@benjamineidam]

Serral!

[@Weebei]

I mean, Byun seems to never prescout, only a matter of time to punish him for it.

[@pp-su2ti]

[@BlackRainRising]

@9:23 how did that go again? :P

[@martinwael9332]

how can i download it for free and not demo

[@SawyerKnight]

wowzers

[@geoffrichardson2728]

Reliance on bigger numbers of queens has reduced the need for ling speed early IMO.

[@ferallhamster970]

Still, need it though

[@Josh-99]

Everyone: The second game was so brilliant by Serral! He's everywhere! There's nothing Byun can do! Me: Uh, he landed two Fungal Growths early in the game to completely smash two bio balls, setting Byun too far behind. The game was over at 10 minutes, and Serral struggled to close it out. Neither player played that great. Maybe I'm just jaded from watching all the amazing games at IEM and Gamers Without Borders, but that second game was pretty boring to me. I enjoyed the first game -- it was a hard punish for not scouting; but the second game was just a win off the back of two early Fungal Growths. Serral know that once those two bio armies were gone he could do whatever he wanted.

[@Comp1337Loser]

Someone please make a sound clip of 9:20-9:24 😆

[@TheDuckHasArrived]

I think if ByuN went for the BC he could win. I rarely see him do that.

[@SecondsFromEternity]

Can a zerg pls explain the purpose of a ravager? I know it had corrosive bile, but the opponent just micros away from where it lands or micros air units out of the way. I know they can bile tanks, bunkers, or cannons but is that pretty much the only reason to make ravages? I'm terran

[@petroz5505]

Better speed w/o roach speed upgrade + more range on standard attack (6 vs 4 for roach, but I'm not so sure about numbers) Lower health tho

[@peddazz2365]

when units move, they dont attack

[@BigDawgKG]

A few reasons, first you can pile down tanks at max range since they cant move out of the way, you can take down bunkers and buildings from outside range, when you they are moving out of biles they aren't attacking so you get free hits in, they have longer range than roaches so you have more things attacking at once and if you morph a low HP one it gets full HP so you basically get 2 health bars on your unit

[@dreamcatcherpone]

When you make you make the opponent micro away from the biles, the units running are not attacking, and the enemy player is busy microing the units

[@joshuahitchins1897]

They're also available at hatchery tech, so if you're going for a roach push before lair, you can use them to make your army better as well as heal up your roaches when you upgrade to ravager. They're like a proto-hydra. They're also not armored, so if you make marauders to counter roaches, ravagers will survive a bit better. The bile is an alternative to a baneling bust for knocking down walls or hitting stationary units like tanks, libs, and overloards, or forcing units to move instead of shooting, like void rays. Sometimes, your opponent doesn't micro away, so it's a pretty low risk, high reward skill check.

[@BarringtonDrive]

Great economic stranglehold.

[@gutzsprax1280]

Dunno what youve changed lowko with your videos but whenever go to rotate phone to enlarge it always jumps back to small screen... just a heads up has happened on the last 3 videos

[@diontranekr6567]

Nothing wrong. When I rotate my phone.

[@badtiming2208]

Might be issue with KZbin app in general. Iknow mine is quite buggy at times

[@LowkoTV]

That sounds like a bug or a change in the KZbin app or your phone, nothing I changed I'm afraid

[@yamilabugattas3895]

Great series, even though Byun seemed to be a bit off.

[@liveinamber1307]

"-Serral's rich, right. Not only in real life but also in the video game." And they say this game isn't pay-to-win...

not even silver?

[@christianmeleirogomez9153]

Zerg is just excesive ahead from the other 2 factions, i dont know why zerg dont get nerfed.

[@atrudokht]

Well, I think you missed out the fact that Serral make Zerg looks op. Watch other Zerg players like Scarlett, Eleazer and Rogue, their play styles are really different from Serral and more inferior and a bit mundane compared to him. So many Zerg players other than Serral got kicked in the a$@ by Terran and I don’t think you should complain about Zerg not being nerfed.

[@christianmeleirogomez9153]

@@atrudokht Actually if both players are at the same lvl, and constantly one wons, It means one race is up to others, also at time of fight and expand zerg had It faster easier, and whit units much much more usefull that protos or terran had.

[@bilgee369]

@@christianmeleirogomez9153 real (im zergphobic), for example baneligns needs to be nerfed, or even deleted, because they just roll and deals massive splash damage, while terran and protos units needs to be constantly managed to spread, which makes it a lot harder

before watching i bet byun will lose, as he always does when featured on this channel. poor byun

[@danisho730]

Serral style is wasteful on resources. Yes he is ahead on mining but his resource efficiency is quite wasteful.

[@BlitzMachina]

LOWKO, as your loyal simp I would never want you to sound uneducated in front of all of your viewers. It's pronounced bab-UH-lon. Your welcome in advance. Now you can sound that much more intellectual in your next video. (ImO... this is the final thing that will Elder Scrolls him to Intelligence 100)

[@dizzlebizzle8424]

as a fellow lowko enjoyer i try and find it entertaining instead of cringe when he gets english wrong, but in this case you're not even talking about an english word, its one of the oldest words in existence and there are multiple correct ways to say it... but i still feel your sentiment, when he does patch reviews and laughs and ridicules words used i'm like dude...that word is totally normal and not pronounced the way you seem to think but it's not your fault english isn't your first langauge.
