That game 1 was insane! Not losing his nerves, defending multipronged attacks with perfect division of his forces, and then turning the corner...just wow!
At this point Serral could actually conquer the planet. I mean if he'd order me to do something I'm not going to doubt his tactical strategic mastermind and just do it.
The end of game 2 had me TERRIFIED! Serral looked like an insane AI that was cheating in units and money. Only to then realize, that no... this is not a Terran campaign map with insane difficulty. It's just Serral.
Totally agreed he went insane mode. Mainly he was so far ahead he did constant pressure. Looks like he might have been a bit angry Time didn’t gg 5 mins earlier
Did you even see the first game? Time had that game. Imagine being able to outpower a player who is ahead the entire game with 3 units (bane/ling/muta). Zerg is so OP it's not even funny.
@@NeutralGenericUser bane ling muta is the best answer to marine medivac harass all iver the map. But its weaker than it used to be. Serral is god of multitaskin, so no wonder he outgrown his opponent
This is ridiculous. I've been watching SC2 on and off since the first Code S, and I'm still seeing stuff I've never seen before (like those banelings coming out of the nydus, unexpectedly). It's just insane. AND, if you can imagine anyone beating Serral, it's Serral from the future. He actually gets better than before, even though you already wonder if anyone can ever beat him. Well, it's Serral from the future.
Every time people say Zerg OP, I just think, if we remove ALL the Serral games from the statistics, the races are now pretty balanced in tournaments. I think Serral is just OP. He broke the game. He's probably the beta release of Alphastar. Look for cyborgs in the Olympics soon.
During the attack from Time around 44:00 I watched Serral execute the perfect Zerg defense against Terran. As a fan of Terran I felt visceral pain as the siege tanks got removed from behind by mutas and then another wave of banelings came and crashed into the bio. There wasn't even any way to lift because the mutas were behind the medivacs. Even one more Thor would have devastated the mutas, but Time only had one at that point. Watching Serral play is absolutely terrifying. It's almost as if the units have independent control. Serral is always dropping banelings in your mineral lines or performing ling run bys right as the main armies engage. I hope Serral is OK; I can't imagine this amount of brain activity and APM is healthy for human beings.
Maru decided to lose to Time so he can avoid Serral for an easier route. It's a strategy that these commentators didn't see. Time says to himself, I should have lost to Maru and went to the safer road than to take the short cut directly to the final boss. Now Time becomes the offering for the Zerg king.
At 42:38 was the highest tension of game 2 when the Baneling hit those tanks on the left flank, then you look at your right flank, you got it by multis and nightis pop up at the same time. That was insane
Serral just makes it seem "easy", because he is a sick monster. I agree that Broodlord/infestors is considered slightly op and needs tweaks.. but Serral won with his INSANE multitasking on link-bane-muta. No one complains about ling-bane-muta
Serial might be the goat. If he wins this year's global final... just might be the goat. I hope they nerf zerg next year and Serral comes back to 3 peat. LEGEND. I want to come back to this comment in a year, two, three... Serral I really hope plays for the next 5 years plus.
I think pre-scandal Life would've lost since the skill cap is higher than his time, but if Life was not involved in a scandal at all we might have three Zerg monsters including Reynor.
What they didn't talk about at the end of game 2 is that while Time was doing that huge last push, near maxed out and Serral was just holding it off with banelings, is that he also had huge zergling counter attacks in two separate bases. Nuts.
Could you add the anti-spoiler extension to your videos in the future? Like TB did - like an hour of just black screen. Because without that we can see the video being 1 hour long, which means a 3-0 series.
Time was legendary there for a minute. I think he must have been too excited at how well he was doing because he then afk'd the liberator lost the BC, and then started over extending. If he played perfect the whole time I think he would have tilted serral even harder opening up the win.
Can someone explain to me how zerg is OP? im a Diamond Zerg and i find zerg to have its challenges against T & P (Cost efficiency, less sturdy units, lower tech, less micro potential, etc.) So far i think the 3 races are Balanced, but id like to hear Zerg's advantages. (ie. creep)
Doubt many were surprised by the result, but I feel the matches were better than the 3-0 would suggest. That first game was fairly contested for a while, and the second was just beautiful from Serral, as at 43:50 he just obliterates that Terran army as Time watches 100 of his army supply just go up in smoke. That third game.. well.. oof.
New player on the WCS Global and casters say he's great: Well he's really good. New Chinese player on the WCS Global and casters say he's great: Biased Blizzard sucks up for China's money.
Doctor Strange Serral has won grand final matches with his off race, Terran. Probably need to nerf them as well to stop him. Hmmmm maybe then he would switch to Protoss...
@@philistineau Saying Serral won with X race doesn't mean that race is as viable. He is just a god and can win however he wants. That being said Z is still OP in every part of the game atm, early mid late.
Sc2 needs to have a movie series ASAP and it has to be directed by the best directors like nolan, cameron, russo bros, todd philips etc. it will basically be a series of war movies. starting with origins movie for terran, zerg, protoss and then when they fight one another and then final movie will be 3 fighting all together.
If you just stay back and defend against mutas, then zerg will outgrow you and then next thing you see is tons of bannelings and lings and ultralisk coming into your base with nydus everywhere.
Good to see that even in these videos they include the stupid Talkcraft 2 segments at the beginning of each series so that a commentator can drone on about things that I've already watched.
The like/dislike bar is a spoiler. I always notice if it has such a tiny percentage of dislikes, that it's the foreigner who wins. But if the Korean beats the Foreigner, there is usually more dislikes (usually at least 10 dislikes per 100 likes). Thus it's a bit of a spoiler, this is because most on this English channel watching are foreign people and it's biased in their favour, thus you can tell the result by the dislikes usually. The only time this doesn't apply if it's foreigner vs foreigner or Korean vs Korean.
Then just fullscreen it immediatly before looking at the Like/Dislike bar? Btw the Title of the Video is Spoiler enought you read Serral and you know the winner.
i see a lot of comments like you guys don’t recognize Serral is the best at the moment. hilarious y’all. the strongest might not be the winner but the winner is the strongest, isn’t he ? this is an individual game, not even counting the race you choose. you have your own favorite race to play. Serral picks Zerg then what’s up? he won cuz he prepared more carefully that was all. stop being lil silly tiny guys.
Would be funny what salty kids would write if serral played toss and proceeded to outsmart his opponents "toss op" get out of here, he's just on another level
Time beat Maru 3-2 and yeah he lost to Serral 3-0 but so did Stats. Time was still playing really well he just made a few mistakes and Serral was relentless on punishing them.
Bro were you watching this first game!? TIME deserved praise. Serral was Serral, but it felt like what pros complain about: “zerg has to make a mistake or they win”. TIME had insane macro behind insane multitasking harrass behind PERFECT micro. Not sure what more he could have done beside add some turrets to main base.
@@swarleystinson1" not sure what more he could have done" ... hmm ...well he could have won a SINGLE game ?! but he did NOT, he was humiliated 3:0 by Serral ... so if in your opinion a loser deserves praise (and they did that not just during the first game) , well so be it .

29:24 "I don't blame him for doing so (take a break) because, ... he had some awful diarrhea".
Why do Terrans bring their marines across the map when there are muta flying around?
If you just stay back and defend against mutas, then zerg will outgrow you and then next thing you see is tons of bannelings and lings and ultralisk coming into your base with nydus everywhere.
25:25 - 25:33 I know its the heat of the action but come on Tasteless, don't add insult to injury.
Why does serral always have a look on his face like he lost the game even though he actually won?
Cuz he knows he didnt really win
the first game shows zerg is imba. Serral was 30 army supply down with 20 supply of mutalist in Time's base, and Time still lost
if zerg was op, every pro would be playing zerg..
Note to army of Finland:
Make serral Cheif of Staff
