StarCraft 2: Maru vs Reynor - FULL Best-of-5 Series! (TSL9)

[@DeadLikeMeJ]

The last match was one of the most beautiful Terran vs Zerg matches I have seen, he used everything which is so rare , mech bio , ghosts ravens , upgraded everything from troops to building upgrades and mixed both air and ground beautifully ! wow what a game !

[@molochtauren4685]

its how Terran supposed to be played. Gumho needs to take notes.

[@Phileosophos]

Best Terran mech game I've seen in YEARS. And it actually beat a top-tier Zerg?!

[@tatimc6581]

"They don't need to be introduced but i have to justify my presence" thats a pretty good line!

[@n0madfernan257]

we plebs always thank you for your gracious presence, lord winter

[@mythilicar]

his commentary is god tier

[@jimflagg4009]

Do not under estimate Maru. He will just send his BCs after you.

[@Devillionaire]

That last game… what a show of patience, control, and total obliteration.

[@calla211]

Actually, after watching their streams, pretty fair to say that Serral is more precise/methodical mechnically, whereas Reynor is a bit faster. Pretty obvious which one seems to work out better.

[@JumnervSolaak]

I like to say that Reynor is more mechanical in nature, while Serral has better or more honed instincts. That said, Serral is still faster - his focus / style is very similar to Reynors, but he has more experience with it - Reynor is still definitely improving, though

[@growtocycle6992]

Serrals games all seem to play pretty much the same... Reynors games actually are more diverse in composition of army, tempo and defense/offense balance

[@macallanswinney186]

Thanks again for another amazing cast. You've really sparked my love for StarCraft again.

Reynor is my favorite player at this point overall. A genuinely funny guy who is good at what he does. Excited to watch this casting

[@pavelbratchenko3885]

Check out some of the skillous games. Great casting as always!

Bet Raynor wishes Maru would have camped…

Trigger was looking great in a recent ESL open cup match! I generally enjoy other players for variety. Anything to avoid Broodlord slow pushes by Serral....

[@Rcoutme]

You should cast some of uThermal's challenge games. They are a riot! He is systematically going through the Terran units and challenging himself to achieve GM with difficult builds (examples: moving his command center to start with, known as Bong Cloud; All Ghosts, All hellions and Ravens, All Cheese, etc.)

[@avefreetimehaver5154]

God that last game.

[@crispyco6277]

It would be a bit funny to see Winter cast a pro match of Harstem 😁

[@jackfrost2978]

Titles can go a long way. Naming a series of videos. Something like the up and coming highlight. So, people know what you are trying to do, and why they maybe interested in checking out lesser known players. Maybe do a contest where you highlight 4 players and have people vote on which one they think has the best chance at success.

[@Rws4Life]

Winter, ever thought about casting some really old games? Stardust vs San in 2014 WCS Season 2 Europe Premier League was great for example. Stephano games were also super entertaining... Although, I guess this was quite a bit before LotV, so most replays are unusable nowadays :(

[@rumenkotsev6079]

amazing casting quite professional gg

[@cstrange8101]

I'd love to see more Gumiho, Astrea, spirit, and the like. I love my Serral and Maru games but who doesn't love to see Gumiho insist Mech is the way of the future and Astrea believe he can juggle every spellcaster at once

[@erickprince3128]

Great games! Despite the obvious skill difference Reynor is more fun to watch than Serral. As for games I’d like to see… He’s not a small name but Hero is my favorite player right now so want to see anything with him!

[@nfzeta128]

Maru showing why zerg weren't just playing full zerg mode in the first place.

[@danielcongleton2878]

Winter, instead of new up and coming, perhaps you find a way to watch one game of the year of a certain player? Perhaps get cameos, and make a series that displays the evolution of the game... It makes sense in my head, perhaps you can run with it?

[@PJOZeus]

Serral is the far superioer mechanical player, Reynor's simply more active, making the most of that high apm and leveraging any micro potential Always going to root for Serral but I wonder what Reynor would do with mass reaper, especially the old mass reaper in Byuns era

[@montcalmonthejob3853]

In response to what players I'd be interested in you covering: I haven't heard anything about the terran player Future since the before times. He seemed like he was hitting his stride

[@SteelValyrian]

58:15 - Trigger me timberrrrs!!

[@kunuk3320]

I'd personally like to see some more American players if such casts are open as well with neeb games in particular if such are coming out.

[@TheBardem]

I wonder why they don't use a raven and a few units more often to clear all the side creep spread out when its a slower game?

[@MW-lw4ek]

1 banshe 1 raven. perfect creep hit squad!

[@compleategamster3304]

I‘m a terran, but with the gsl and this series and the 3 cc builds, it seems there are too many unstopable terran builds rn if zerg isn‘t incredibly proactive on scouting harrass and tech choices. I love the diversity of terran builds, I just think their macro needs to be tuned down by like 3-5% so there are risks with the timings and mech and 3 cc doesnt hit quite so hard, then terran actually needs to respond and do damage like zerg.

[@SoulAcid1]

Nerf the mule energy-cost or duration and it is fixed, right?

[@rafaelfigueroa4417]

great vid!

[@ryanberger7363]

I would like to see other players too. Love the top 5 players but its nice to see other styles.

[@hongxu9893]

We need a lot more Has! More cheesy and/or unorthodox pros is what we want!

[@Gredddfe]

The first few games I was thinking, he didn't even play bcs. Clearly the nerfs terran needs is to slightly reduce the mobility of widow mines.

Cast some Vindicta pls

[@TempRawr]

i keep seeing commentators say that being one a base less than a zerg is bad. has meta changed where you need to be equal on bases against zerg o.o.

[@Leonhart_93]

Meta is just something theoretic, the players can do whatever they want regardless of the meta. What did change however is that I have noticed these top zerg players are getting more efficient at trades, so giving them a full extra base is an advantage instead of just being "equal".

[@EXG21]

Raynor shine, Maru played until he was victorious..

[@grishy8203]

Terran: masterfully micro marines and marauders for 15 minutes to slowly grind out an advantage Zerg: click banelings on mini map

Urgent terran nerfs: Ghosts become as fragile as templar, vipers, every other spell caster in the game Battlecruiser yamato no longer one-shots full health corrupters and queens - ya know, those units which are the only zerg "counter" to bcs.

[@klasbergstrand3188]

no you are so stupid if you think those need to be nerfed. Like what why would a terran not go for bcs as an opener if they are op??? And ghosts are pretty blanced yes every terran goes for them in th late game but if they were so fragile they just would not be a viable option for a terran player as banelings would counter them too ez

[@alexandrel4569]

The reason why Ghost are more tanky is because unlike templars that has archons, immortals, collosus in front of them. Ghosts many time will only have marine/marauders. You need to also look what the unit is usually mixed with, not just the unit itself.

[@Gredddfe]

@@alexandrel4569 Terran has plenty of tanky units - hellbats, marauders, thors. If you take away ghost tankiness I'm sure terrans will find a way to cover them.

[@dhelsel89]

first?

[@MrCreed145]

So annoying to watch terran like Maru.

[@nimrae9359]

Terran games when it gets to Ghosts are the most boring shit ever. That unit is stupidly OP and should be nerfed to the ground. There is no unit half as good as ghost.

[@TheMuffinman191]

Its the only reason Terran has a lategame.

[@OSU2010]

Stop crying Zerg is a overpowered race in general. Every unit is OP. Ghosts are only good in Marus presence no other Terran player can use them that well. Your just a cry baby. Nerf Zerg.

@@OSU2010 Cure pulled it off recently as well. But no one as good as Maru

[@hivetech4903]

@@OSU2010 You're wrong - Zerg is the weakest race at tournament level, see for yourself on aligulac. Its obviously impossible to balance a game around the top 5 players.

[@nfzeta128]

@@OSU2010 Zerg is literally the race that only wins through tactics and leaning heavily into the few strengths it has. Zerg was hard countered by both skytoss and ghosts, and soft countered by most terran units and a good few protoss ones.
