The only reason why we think it will be a good series is because they don't play against each other enough, and Serral is the first non-Korean that we deemed can reliably beat Koreans. But alas, that kid did not join Code S, so we will never know how good he really is. Perhaps never, because this game has factually declined since the big scandal. Maru vs TY was way more interesting than this. Or any of the Korean Gods that Maru had to fight against. But his rivalry against TY is unmatched because of how they went toe to toe against each other. We will never see God Zest and God Innovation ever again, at least the level of competition during the ProLeague days. Cross-fingers, we'll see a new healthy RTS pro-scene, Parting is already dominating in SG.
18:22 I've sent you a game between Happy and Serral from 2016, Happy used mass Lib-Ghosts in all of them. P.S. Great casting and great game, as always.
Было бы прикольно если б при приземлении командный центр убивал под собой хату или закопанного Линга, или сделать третье улучшение командного центра который медленно летит но при приземлении убивает здание зерга, как пресс.
Can anyone explain why Serral never went for a hive tech army (lurker, ultra or brood)? Outside of vipers he was on a lair tech army for all of both games. Weird
Lurker sucks against mas libs/ghost, Ultra is a good choice only if Zerg can hit the big Fungal and smash the Terran army otherwise they also trade worse against Libs/Ghost. Broodlord is a decent choice imo but Terran can just make Thors/Viking and the fight would still be a toss up.
Because Ultralisks are too derpy and Brood Lords too slow given the upgrades Terran has received, stick to tier 2 till they fix it is basically the meta now.
Thanks to Harstem I have seen every single one of these matches each night. I cant wait for you to cast some real bangers in this tournament. Surprisingly, IMO, There are some really PvP bangers, and later on Serral really steps up his game to a new level. Cant wait to see your reaction on more of this tournament.
i wish there was a way to hide the time of a video's duration. i know its my own fault but i cant help but look at it and get spoiled -_- ... gg's nonetheless
"This was so close" - ULOL! The only reason Serral is even in this video is because he was the first foreigner that was not expected to be destroyed like all foreigners before the Korean-ban. And it was a long time since the big scandal happened which was the beginning of the end of SC2.
So what? It's not the foreigners fault the Koreans took bribes, reap what you sow. That's like blaming other athletes because you took performance enhancing drugs and got banned, also saying you are the rightful winner if not for the drug taking hahaha.

Yeah, with the raise of Clem and Reynor in the scene, Maru vs Serral doesnt carry the same meaning anymore but I would still love seeing them in a Bo7 grand final
I don't understand the commentary on the first game. Serral was playing solid, even great constantly. Yet, the commentary was like "he's so far behind", "first time in supply lead in a long time" etc. etc. Were we watching the same game?
@@totalprocall6894 Zerg is still way too powerful, but the last patch tipped the scale a tiny bit, which helped Maru. And Maru seems to have finally gotten out of his low point.
Oh yeah, well nerf queens, creep, overlord vision, vipers, etc etc first...terran have been nerfed for years since 2019, co-incedentally when serral started dominated.
@@totalprocall6894 orbital too clutch. No workers even needed to make comeback. Other races in late game still need workers whereas terran can 200 supply all army
Maru played BioMine Ghost/Lib late game in both games 1&2 which is what Clem played every round in the DreamHack playoffs. BioTank into Turtle Mech is the old meta, but Maru can adapt and he’s still currently the #2 Terran on Aligulac.
@@Terracronz Maru played that style first againts Serral back in Nov for their WTL match, way before DH Atlanta. So I would say its Clem who took it and run with it during Atlanta. He definitely didnt play it against Serral in the EU Regional Grand Final and got bopped by Serral back then.
I was about to comment this as well. Notice how it's always "The banelings couldn't connect!" or "Banes were too slow!" or "Banes got obliterated!"?. The only miniscule hope is to have burried banes which you can flank them with. The dual HP nerf and speed nerf is a total load of shit.
It’s the nerf to fungal dmg and the bane dmg vs light that’s shifted the meta away from TurtleMech towards Ghost/Lib. I will do the math now on how many marine shots in a 20 vs 20 fight, if the marines are +20 shots then yah it’s a pretty big deal.
Maru need to win more titles, not beating Serral, to get higher consideration for the GOAT title. And the GOAT title was not solely for Serral to begin with, somehow Rogue got swept asides is kinda disrespectful.
Well i was about to go to bed but it looks like sleep time will have to be delayed 50 minutes…
did you sleep well?
That's how I feel every time I get to watch pig cast a serral match :)))

the ghosts sniped the overseers at the last fight haha
maru is too good, he woulda lost without that
Should creep spread get nerfed? Seems very op.

Maru’s mass ghost/lib melts hive tech units, plus it might just be a stylistic choice by Serral
for both maps there are so many routes for bio army to hit zerg bases, maybe thats why he sticked to high mobility ling bane hydra

i've got a bunch of casts from MC7 lined up already in the next few days!
MARU = 🐐
Maru really pulled out his best builds for serral. Almost justifying his trolling in earlier tournaments.
Of all the cast even though you are a serral bias, its always an amazing watch. I always look forward to see you casting♥️
That I agree. I think this Serral cheerleader caster is leagues ahead of other non-tastosis SC2 caster
The only other caster I will listen too.
Damn Great game, Thx Pig -- My man !!! 🙏🙏🙏
Serral was destroyed here
no worries. he can switch to terran and abuse mines and win.
Great content!

Maru scans agaisnt the infestors looked like something out of a maphacker. (not saying he is)
"I know finnish people don't really like magicians" what the hell is he talking about???
It is known
PiG vs Lowko, Maru fangay vs Serral fangay
The Terran imbalance is getting ridiculous
Is Serral still the best player in the world?
Maru 🙌
Maru been playing so bad recently, this was refreshing! 2-0 vs. the other GOAT.
Maru is the GOAT. Serral only donimated once maru, i mean terran, was nerfed in 2019.

Both games so shitty games by serral. His comp was not enough. It felt like a neverending brain fart.
Terran is just the most OP, they have been for years. It's stupid what their units can do.
ghosts are huge fuckin OP

zerg completely destroyed by baneling nerf.
The baneling is still strong, plus they have SO many other broken units/inherent strengths.

If Maru wins Serral 10 more times he`ll reclaim the GOAT title
This actually sounds somewhat reasonable 🤣

Maru is not even a contender for the GOAT title, he does not exist outside of Korea, and at this point Europe has all the top dogs in every race.
He is definetely in the GOAT conversation@@OnigoroshiZero
Maru is GOAT in Korea but worldwide, no...he hasn't won anything internationally, all GSLs
Should have version that has no commentary.
Cant stand this anymore. Not your fault.
Unsubbed. Bye.
whats ur problem?
🤨
You probably weren't even subbed in the first place lmao
Then go find the video with no commentary, no one fckn asked you to watch and sub in the first place.
Drama queen
