StarCraft II - Classic [P] vs. Serral [Z] - Semifinal - IEM Katowice 2018

[@Robology13]

Immortals are so good the Golden State Warriors just signed them

[@droserabinata]

"Serral almost NEVER dies to cheese!" *Dies to cheese*

[@misspurdy27288]

droserabinata take a look at leipzig. Serral made nerchio look like an idiot, laughed off a terran whose name escapes me, and won the finals rather easily.

[@JAGDTIGER128]

kek

[@benoni5104]

Hence the word "almost" ... now go take a shower u smell sour.

[@Erebus2075]

just shows how ridiculously good cheese is... on the other hand cheese only works if the opponent don't do their proper scouting and proper time or don't know how to defend it.

[@cenntraru]

actually it was Serral who went for the cheese - he was way too greedy in trying to get 4 hatches ASAP and got punished for it with protoss' 2 base pushes.

[@Synismyhero]

That intro was amazing.

[@johnj3027]

Classic looks like a Protoss lmaooo

[@vaettra1589]

Yeah, I've noticed several korean males have these drawn out faces, like they were born with the help of a suction pump, or have problems with their pituitary gland.

[@llllllllllll1106]

V line face very handsome~

[@apollonireus1]

Because he play protoss so like as lamooo

[@kristoradion]

like zealot. Haha

[@lordofthebeltsthereturnoft1127]

@@vaettra1589 Has nothing to do with acromegaly you silly boy, his face also isn't drawn out (it's an optical illusion because of his huge long chin). When they are quite big it is called prognathism. This exists in all races, and on the contrary in all races there are people with very small receding looking chins as well. Classic just has a bigger chin than usual, this can be a result of inbreeding sometimes also. Know as the Hapsburg chin. Look that up Charles V chin, he had it and his was a result in inbreeding. Though not all cases are a result of inbreeding, some are just a result of weird genetic variation. Classic doesn't have a pituitary gland issue or acromegaly, because individuals with that don't just have a bigger chin. They end up huge with a huge skull and well over 6 feet tall and have huge hands with fingers as thick as thumbs etc. Classic doesn't have that, but a huge Korean fighter called Hong man Choi does have that. So did that Jaws character off 007 as well as a man called Bigfoot Silva etc.

[@andytv22]

This was the last time Serral lost in a tournament besides the online one that nobody counts

[@reviewreaper8508]

37:00 "You can't just play the same predictable build orders over and over again." However, as the current WC Serral has shown us (in each of the 4 circuits in 2018), you sure can if you are just that good.

[@HappyTwoBe]

14:35 Serral just cleaning his keyboard xD

[@Molisa682]

He's cute

[@crimsonlanceman7882]

He looks like a zombie who had just be woken up from the dead. "Serral, hi... We just revived you to beat the crap out of this korean, can you do that?" [in finnish] Serral: "Sure, whatevs."

[@cesarherrera1019]

they had to buff the zerg to win a championship, from here the zerg race sucks, a lot of imbalance

[@June-mi9th]

Classic might be a real Protoss. You'll never know.

[@FuhqEwe]

I had actually seek out a video where Serral lost. The kid is fucking incredible.

[@Backflipmarine]

Serral is almost Surreal, I love his style

He got embarrassed tho.... out played and out styled

"Serral loves getting to that macro late-game"....where Zerg has a huge advantage with all the free units provided by brood lords and swarm hosts

[@fabianarvaez32]

17:00 match started

[@ricardoromerodelarosa9441]

Me encantan los vídeos en que revientan a Serral, :-) .

[@qns-xf6yq]

shut down by 3:0? wow...classic is unbelievable..

[@Bob50520]

With all do respect Serral, you should of expected that from G1. You play opponents to the image they have of you, not of yourself. It was obvious classic was going to punish you because of that greedy build you use too often.

[@socrates_the_great6209]

I love starcraft. world best game! Look at that scene!

[@razhmazh]

I'm just wondering what would the person look like if they took Serral's nose, Classic's chin and RotterdaM's eyes and combined them on Kaelaris' hair and beard...?

It would create the perfect human being.

[@cenntraru]

all_EU_players_combined < Serral < Classic < Rogue. it tells you something about the top kor players' level. Rogue humiliated Classic with 4:0 in the same ZvP match-up.

[@amychen4315]

Really??? :) What happened at BlizzCon?

[@Qichar]

That moment when a freak accident sets the guy carrying the trophy out on fire...

[@brunojl2]

Game 2: why didn't Serral focus on probes and wait for classic's adepts to show up on his main? Could've done some great surrounds. Taking the fight to the wall was a waste, methinks.

[@willreznicek4202]

turns out warping an entire army across the map on a flying unit is pretty good

[@bruffen9559]

will reznicek turns out not getting overlord speed and know what's comming is overrated lul also turns out that having 5 lings spread on the map to see the warp prism coming and a fk ton of drones with 0 army just makes you know what's about to kill you, not where to defend lol

[@Qichar]

Serral has since proven that it is indeed Zerg that is OP. Serral hasn't yet perfected it here yet but he realized that all he had to do was to survive mid game and then bring out the free unit generators: brood lords, infestors, sometimes swarm hosts. Then let the free unit spam begin! Since then Serral's early to mid game defense against cheese has been immaculate. Clearly he learned from his experience here, went home, and practiced A LOT.

[@socrates_the_great6209]

Look that trophy! That is not for kids! It is for champions!

[@sharkfatrccustoms]

Pig really does seem to like the sound of his own voice!

[@junxuanwu3982]

Is Classic the best Protoss player right now?

[@Neltheraku]

Yes he is. wcs.starcraft2.com/en-us/standings/

[@JR-cr2zg]

Serral has 420 apm from winterstarcraft cast. Wondering how about Classic and other Korean players?

[@davideloi9176]

And 4 months later Classic loses to Reynor and gets kicked out of Gsl. After that, and after rewatching this today, Reynor performance looks even more impressive. Let's hope he can do well in Valencia too

[@mamanganwar]

praise the Chin God

[@Qichar]

Me: "Yo Classic, after watching Serral vs. Trap in the quarterfinals, why the long face?" Classic: "FU, that's just the way I look." Me: (awkward silence)

[@MotoMarios]

Opens the video wondering "Let's see what the last Westerner can do against the South Koreans". Then sees the duration of the video and reality sets in immediately.

[@NadasShort]

I think you got a huge supprise after this comment :)

[@kilmer009]

@Darkzz Lord Why would you spoil this shit, some of us are catching up. You don't announce the winners of the current/future tournament on a prior cast man. wtf

[@lordofthebeltsthereturnoft1127]

@Darkzz Lord Serral isn't ranked #1, and he lost again very recently to Innovation. Sorry, the last "white" hope was a little impressive, but his time is over.

[@Qichar]

@@lordofthebeltsthereturnoft1127 Looking back on your comment is funny. Serral is the undisputed SC2 champion of the world, and you're a little sour and silly, clearly.

[@ReinerHauser]

What's the name of the music at the very beginning when he brings in the trophy? Does anyone know? :)

[@ChumWaffle]

I'm trying to find it as well. Awesome song.

[@alerik1445]

yeah awesome, just googled lyrics and its "Leet Mob - Stay Alive" ;)

[@theunreal1271]

because when you go full E-Sports theres no time to smile.

[@Qichar]

Classic smiled when he won. I think he was honestly worried about going up against Serral, for good reason. But Serral chose poorly to go for greedy in game 1 and cheese in game 2. A more balanced build would have served him in better stead, or even just overlord speed scouting...

Greedy greedy zerg

[@platinumlucifer694]

this is not a battle, this is rape. the zerg player is not an equal level with Classic. He just can not keep up with Korean macro.

[@benandmesser2885]

ikki itsuki i wouldnt even say he cant keep up, he just made greedy ass plays every single game, early 3rd every game, and before he can even saturate the 3rd the protoss player is already droping, or moving across the map. he made it seem like he didnt even know how to play zerg

[@razhmazh]

Until now, I've just watched the first game. Classic is really lucky that he plays Protoss and gets away with not scouting anything inside the first 3 minutes. That means he can sit home and just focus on his cheese. I'm sure if Serral knew anything about the Koreans is that they will cut every corner they can in SC2. Serral should learn from Rogue how to jab Classic on the obvious chin. That robot doesn't know how to think and will be demolished as soon as someone throws a monkeywrench in his build.

[@juancarlosluque8964]

rogue, abused classic =). the revenge of swarm

[@TheGuyCalledX]

Serral just had a brilliant reverse sweep against another Korean protoss in his previous match. Don't judge a player by a single series.

[@hugogustafsson4815]

Serral definitely have the macro to par up with classic. But classic had 5 games of Serral to study unhindered and figured out his playstyle. He also have more experience and is slightly better but to call Serral being unable to macro is wrong
