Wow, a bit of a quick gg. I mean, yes, the flow was moving towards Serral losing, but one slip up by TY, one harassment attack left unchallenged and it could have swung back in Serral's favour, I believe. Great game regardless :D
Depending on a slip up lol I think that is a really nice way of acknowledging that it's not balanced. Cuz at this level of play.. Come on now. Yeah, TY could have suddenly forgotten how to play sc2 or gotten struck by lightning maybe, but is that likely?
@@ricardocedillo1606 Although these players are godlike, they're still human, they do mistakes. I guess Serral could continue but decided to save energy for the next map.
@@bubbasbigblast8563 If by "micro intensive" you mean "rally your barracks into your opponent's base and parade push across the map because you have more stuff than your opponent thanks to MULEs, and if your Zerg opponent isn't an absolute god they will lose then and there" you'd be correct. Terran is only micro intensive in the late game, but literally every race is micro intensive in the lategame. The only real micro involved in Terran's midgame is remembering to stim your marines.
Yes! That's what I want to see with nydus networks. I feel like this style could be improved and has a lot of potential. And I'd love to see that against protoss too.
@@form8409 I feel like the nydus blocking the mineral line was a mistake though. It'd be more efficient to have the creep from the nydus block it, but not the nydus itself so that he could put a hatch there if he wanted to. (especially considering the nydus would have actually helped defending the hatch.) And I feel like 4 nydus is a bit too much =p and he never tried using the double nydus to put his worm in two different places at once. Like one in the main base and the other on the third would have actually been harder to defend than two nydus on the same spot. As I said I think it could use some work, but I still like the style a lot.
Serral was using the Nydus to spread creep more than anything, I think. It's a very interesting idea, and might be useful for locusts. Think I will try that myself when I have time.
Korean SC2 community considered TY is one of the 4 horsemen of Terran. The other 3 are Innovation, Maru and Byun. TY is quite younger than me, and when he was already a pro gamer, i still barely use my computer =))
Marines are so good for their cost. Initial cost at least, costs a bit to upgrade them but still. And those turrets, well done. Terrans are very tenacious (the faction at least).
LowkoTV Its more like when you play fps or battle royale games where a player would memorize the coloration of the map/unit and any discrepancies causes him to react to it immediately
Excuse my ignorance here because I only watch LowKo casts and not actually play the game, but what's a Zerg player do this far into the late game against Terran with a lot of Ghosts and nukes? It seems like if it gets to this point, the nuke pressure is just too much to actually get anything done.
@@AmazinglyScherzo No problem, what I forgot to say is, broodlords are useful usually, but TY already had a lot of startports so he could've countered the Broodlords easily, so They would've probably just died
he made a marine and cancel it to lift the rax...i would call this an unfair series overall since ty just played an exhausting bo5 with zest and gave 1 map for free to serral
How good's serral? "He's amongst the very best." How good's TY? "He's amongst the very best." How good's Neeb? "He's amongst the very best." How good's has? "He's amongst the very best."
Ghosts in SC Lore: Superbly trained specialists with psychic abilities and the best infantry equipment known to the terran dominion. Ghosts in game: expendable nukey boyz with a sniper rifle Kerrigan (as a little girl) made her mothers head explode on accident, Nova created a psy blast which was as strong as several nukes when she saw her family getting killed and Tanya Caulfield could use her mind to set things on fire...
He started queuing a marin and then canceled it to lift the building. While he could technically have lifted the bulding earlier and have it ready to be placed on the add-on as the starport lift off.
Zerg has very poor late game options. The best option always falls on broodlords. Transitioning to ultra and lurker is a 'throw' move. Hope Blizzard will get considerate enough to widen the options for late game zerg.
Asyrafil Anuar nah Zerg has very good late game options in a bl/infestor/corrupter build, maybe even some vipers if needed. Their weakness is relatively little early game scouting and harass (at this level of play of course.) Terran probably has the worst late game out of all the races once z or p get enough spellcasters on the field. Ghosts and libs are definitely the way to go in TvZ IF you can control it, though.
@@PowderedToastMan3 i personally think that it's not fair to include spell casters. protoss always has high templar in the mix with storm and feedback. terran has the widest functioning late game options; mass bc, thor (mech play), mass nukes (mass ghost). ghosts are cheap considering they come with emp, cloak, and nuke distractions. what do zerg have? ultras and lurkers are pretty useless in super late game. spell casters lack the ability to burst. granted they can immobilize targets like neuro parasite, fungal, and abduct, but these abilities can't kill on their own.
The more I see it, the more I think that the Queen's anti-air range is broken: everyone else needs to build army units that can shoot up at the mid-game, but Zerg don't have to. If the range was reduced, Zerg would need to use Hydras or rush air to deal with medivac drops outside their main, and that would shake up ZvT/ZvP big time.

*slow clap*
Maybe he loses on purpose
@@goodusername6173 nope. sometimes the other player's like TY gives more strategic and more winning condition. Than serral.
When I was watching that turny live, I herd a commentator say "look at his udder army" and got really happy knowing lowko was commentating
"If you win against Serral, how many points do you get?"
"I don't know"
Over 9000
Harstem's answer was SO FUNNY! xD
Serral and TY... I was destined to watch this!

@@yavuzkoroglu7792 Most definitely his thought process. Why waste more time when you have another 2 rounds.
The game was over. Serral was broke.
at first glance it looks like he should keep going but once you look around it's obvious that serral was dead.
"TY" for the commentary and video ;)
It's also funny because TY too commentates
"The nuker and the nuke-et xD"
That's where i lost it xD
LOWKO I LOVE YOU THANKS FOR MAKING MY LUNCHS SO MUCH FUN
Exacly the matchup I needed to watch as a Terran player.
And I love Thunderbird.
Thank you Lowko.
I like how Serral won the homestory cup against TY.
22:40 "who puts a bunch of random ass marines right over there!?" haha made me laugh :)
You know... Terran is the Race with the most resistance power and if you use this, nothing can overwhelm you
Yet Serral won the series.
@@ShylliosDruid I said, " If you use this"...
Mistakes were made by TYTY
@@deathboy5468 Terran is so micro intensive that mistakes are unavoidable.

Serral is basically the reason I play sc2
And also the reason i chose Zerg race
Yes! That's what I want to see with nydus networks.

I think he was using the nydus worms for creep earlier hence the 4 nydia worms, maybe it also blocks placement for the command center aswell

Did someone else seem like a chess game from Sherlock vs. Moriarty?
Wait, who is this guy again? It can't be Lowko, he didn't yell out "HELLO EVERYONE MY NAME IS LOWKO!"
Fabulous! I was worried it was going to be more autochess.
Absolutely amazing not to have EonBlue's voice overwhelming the cast. Lowko casting for the win.

TY is one of the four horsemen of Terran, Maru, Innovation, Byun and TY
One of the hottest games I've seen in awhile. Genius pressure from Serral, and awesome responsiveness with the nukes from TY.
Love terran music as well. I listen to the terran soundtrack at work really often. Stellaris has mad tunes as well.
“The best in their races” made me giggle
Love your videos Lowko! They helped me alot and its alot of fun to watch
Oh my! This one is earlier (but it's totally fine)!
i love this match, all those worms make me miss playing GLA inC&C:Generaly ZH .... most fun i ever had in an rts!!!
damn i miss Command & Conquer! ;-(
You can still play it you know
I feel. That's the game I grew up on. Plus. No power requirements was amazing.
Love your videos man. Im so bad at sc2 but after every time a watch one of your videos i need to play a game 😂

Hamed Amerian queuing a marine, then cancel.
@@carlogarcia8107 wow such a small mistake .tnx for the reply.
What a great game!
Marines are so good for their cost. Initial cost at least, costs a bit to upgrade them but still. And those turrets, well done. Terrans are very tenacious (the faction at least).
What is best:
Terran music?
Or
Lowko's voice?
Keep up the good work man!
The two best players in the world i think.
Awsome game, any one got link to the series?
Serral doesn't look for the dot as much he just deduces the most plausible location that the nuke might got to.
Yet he finds the Nuke on the Queens multiple times. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone Nuke Queens before.
LowkoTV Its more like when you play fps or battle royale games where a player would memorize the coloration of the map/unit and any discrepancies causes him to react to it immediately
That match was so sick
I really feel like the worms were to put creep on that mineral group
WHAT A MATCH!
Lowko, weren’t you actively cast the game?
Ultralisk and muta need some love.
Great castinh @LowkoTV
Next up: Maru vs. Serral. LET'S GO!
Excuse my ignorance here because I only watch LowKo casts and not actually play the game, but what's a Zerg player do this far into the late game against Terran with a lot of Ghosts and nukes? It seems like if it gets to this point, the nuke pressure is just too much to actually get anything done.
Any way you can get serrals games to watch yourself?
How come the Zerg player didn’t go for broodlords? Aren’t those like the quintessential late game unit?
They're not that great right now vs Terran, they get kind of countered by Thors and ghosts, and of course vikings
Ice I see. Thanks :^)

Where is the "HELLOOOO EVERYONE"?
Man I am having a hard time on Plat league now.. maybe losing 10 games and 1 win XD
Whyyyy would you use ultralisks????? The only good thing about them is watching their butts jiggle Everytime they walkkk
Serral lost a zergling to a reaper... and another one a few moments later. That explains everything :D
That was amazing!!
Would love to know the actual reasoning behind the Nydus spam....
more nydrus faster unload
I wonder what it would look like to watch the same pro player´s current game and right after some other game from 5 years ago..
why serral dndt do locust or broods?
How good's serral?
"He's amongst the very best."
How good's TY?
"He's amongst the very best."
How good's Neeb?
"He's amongst the very best."
How good's has?
"He's amongst the very best."
How good is Lowko"Not amongst the bests"
Has is not anymore. The others, yes.
Funny to watch TY putting SCV in production, then cancelling it soooo many times. Seems muscle memory rules after all even among pro players :D
I'm a simple man, I see Serral: I Instalike the vid lmao
Fanboy Lowko, keep up the great work. Thank you for the commentary. Love your youtube channel.
Why build two machine docks in front of a base?
Elias Meyer presumably to block any zergling runbys. That and it might've been simply easier to do it with larger buildings
God damn TY.. just beauty
this was a game of nukes and nydus!
Could you record in 4k/2k or at least in higher big rate? I'm not on full screen and yet picture is not super clear. BTW interesting series.
2 Nydus, now I have seen everything
where is the Brood Lords?
lowko make some more youtube vids on roolet of shame please
Brood lords would make these engagements more easier, and some spell casters
not really, the ghosts woulda've destroyed them I feel like
Helllllloooo effryone is this Lowko??!?!?!?!?!?
Geez, you play poker?
Im so used to see you smiling I cant imagine your poker face
Did Lowko just bet my ass?!
10 dislikes are different Serral's personalities
Serral lost because he didnt use the most 2 powerful units for zerg: Broodlord and Infestor.
Ghosts in SC Lore: Superbly trained specialists with psychic abilities and the best infantry equipment known to the terran dominion.
Ghosts in game: expendable nukey boyz with a sniper rifle
Kerrigan (as a little girl) made her mothers head explode on accident, Nova created a psy blast which was as strong as several nukes when she saw her family getting killed and Tanya Caulfield could use her mind to set things on fire...
Ultras need a buff or ghosts need a nerf
not even serral can make ultralisks work he lost from the momento he decided to stick with them rip
First?
How did this happen? oO
Anyhow: looks like a fun matchup, thanks for casting
Homestory cup
17:44 Terran Music OP!!!!!111 nerf pls
wow, You managed to beat Serral?? O_O wow... that's an achievement, isn't it? :-)
i think the whole series was 4:3 for serral.

Nice game
Come on TY, slay the king! Super pumped to watch this!

every time i see long games terran vs zerg, zerg always looks helpless. there are no tools you can use to counter terran slow expansion
There are tools, it's the spellcasters, which Serral didn't use in this game for some reason.
@@exu7325 they dont really help all that much, ghost counter both ultras and broodlords. you dont have any other late game
nice :> TY
Lowko doesn't upload this weak mutation.
He is struggling with it and didn't complete yet.
See what happens when you waste resources on unnecessary Nydus tunnels? ...you lose.
Worst unit in Zerg arsenal... Can kill Terran if he is not ready. Can Terran have such unit plz., especially for TvP?
