I believe Clem is stressed too lol. Never before has sc2 been this exciting between the top players. We used to have maru and serral dominating. Then clem giving the number 1 player serral all he can handle has made this rivalry awesome. We have not seen this level of rivalry since wings of liberty between Nestea and MVP. Which This is obviously higher level
Some of Serral's splits vs widow mines in previous tournaments were inhumanly surgical. But the big shots in these games shows that even Serral has fallible moments. It's interesting to see that Serral's creep spread vs Clem is nowhere near as overwhelming as it was vs other Terrans (Maru included). In fact, Clem seems to put so much pressure that Serral eventually stops prioritising creep spread (or maybe he was broken out of his rhythm and forgot) at times like 51:05 where usually Zergs respread creep after pushing the Terran back. Instead he only spreads a few and pushes across the map without doing much more with his creep.
Serral:"Am I ahead after those hellions? Can I make more drones, do I need to make more army, is it banshee. How many lings did I lose compared to his loses." Terran: "I lost all my hellions, make marines, mines and medivacs." "I killed 6 drones, make marines, mines and medivacs." "I lost my banshee, make marines, mines and medivacs."
Serral would SWEEP any other terran not named Clem. It's like Clem trained his entire life for a Serral matchup lol. remember years ago, clem would have so many friendly scrims vs. Reynor -- who was considered/argued 2nd best Zerg back then. If it's anyone's fault, it would have been Reynor, for creating Clem lmao jk.
Serral is just massively out of form right now. Where as Clem is probably playing the best starcraft of his career. We will have to wait and see if Serral can get back on form again.
Nah, he is the best he can be. Stop deceiving yourself. He is beating everyone else except Clem. Serral from 2024 would demolish Serral from 2018 btw. Its progress. @@75ncv4hu9tg7
Showtime, myself and a few others use "The Core" that moves all your hotkeys to the right side of the keyboard and is super custom and hard to learn but awesome once you have it down, so we use modifiers like ctrl + the keys our fingers are already naturally resting on to jump to cameras. Most pros though just use the SC1 bindings of F1 through F8. Need a keyboard that has minimal space between numbers and F keys though or it feels super awkward
@@PiGstarcraft Oh, I thought all pros were used to reaching so far up to the F keys - and I'd wager that probably is the case ever since BW given that keyboard enthusiast layouts weren't a thing back then. It makes sense that this could have changed now.
@@PiGstarcraft that sounds awesome. I personally got a mouse with 8 extra buttons on it. I use the buttons for cameras and things like nydus and also scroll for burrow/unburrow.
Revert baneling hp nerf, revert ultra speed nerf, maybe make vipers available at lair tech, the only way to make this even once again versus Terran in 2024
Question how'd mutalisks fair in this matchup I know they get hardstopped by thors, couldn't they do a bit better than ling bane? Ie to stop clem I know I'm probably wrong here
IIRC lambo once said that muta needs to catch the terran off guard to be worth the investment so it's risky. I believe this is because the investment into mutas delays all the other investments into tech and upgrades that need to happen if you hope to remain even with the terran in lategame, but I may be mistaken.
Mutas are a big investment, and everything stops mutas: widow mines, liberators, enough MM, turrets. I think I watched Rogue(?) just play mass muta and lose like 30 mutas to a handful of libs in like 3 seconds. They're only useful in a surprise situation.
super hard to get there with how fast Clem's 3CC booms into mass marine mine, by the time the mutas are out the terran is in your face with either marine mine or marine tank pushes and the mutas have very little window to harass. One of the things that has become much harder to consistently use is mutas in ZvT since the 12 worker start in LOTV
Can you play a mod with 6 workers to start with but players also start with rack pool gateway? This way there is an option to build more workers or build a unit
Terran is just too good now and Medivacs are just too good. Terran can lost 29 scv abd don’t even get punished if that happens to Zerg you auto lose the game. Zerg is definitely the hardest race to win and play now no one can say otherwise. I am losing to the dumbest Terran players in diamond simply because they don’t get punished for mistakes balance council needs to be replaced.
It is also very hard to fight T using Protoss. Terran is just so broken. I literally have no idea how to counter ghosts, cyclones, or widow mines, they just counter all Z units. Clem used to get crazy drops, but now just walks back and forth on the edge of creep and there’s literally no way to counter it
It feels impossible to kill a Terran once they get four bases up. Kill workers and they drop mules. If you kill the base the have 2 cc they can fly over no problem. I’m not saying that it’s easy to do but when terrans get there it’s almost impossible to loose.
how does PIG make a living? at 75k subs for years. and under 25k viewership per vid, his CPM shouldn't be high enough to make a living. where do you get your living from?
I've been full time streaming on Twitch since 2017, and was streaming since the very early days. I also have quite a spread of TH-cam channels these days to allow the algorithm to do its magic and not get confused over who wants to watch what. Pig Casts actually has more consistent posts and views these days though I still love to upload quality content on this channel it's nowhere near as frequent: www.youtube.com/@PiGCasts - I also do casting, coaching and games design/playtesting consulting.

12:00 serral looking at pig like: wtf is this guy talking about xD

I agree. These games are unsurpassed.
"Those libs with their socialism trying to ruin the economy" xD good one! Thanks for the cast pig.
Fppov analysis, MY FAVORITE!!!
Welcome back Serral! I was starting to get a little worried after the Clem domination. It's nice to see him come back and win again.

I really enjoyed ur commentary pig, great stuff!!
I love this format!!!
Serral:"Am I ahead after those hellions? Can I make more drones, do I need to make more army, is it banshee. How many lings did I lose compared to his loses."
Terran: "I lost all my hellions, make marines, mines and medivacs." "I killed 6 drones, make marines, mines and medivacs." "I lost my banshee, make marines, mines and medivacs."
For the Liberator harass, sometimes its ok to have bronze league strats and just add more Spore Crawlers.
Sepe Susi is walt disney's Big Bad Wolf a.k.a. Zeke Midas
The last game is absolutely amazing - definitely among the best TvZ for 2024!
I just love your Analysis Videos! 🤩

@@75ncv4hu9tg7 I would say it's more like a mental block, lost in confident, easily making more mistakes than when he encounter other Terran.
@@75ncv4hu9tg7Serral just destroyed Maru. He is not out of form. Clem is just better at TvZ than him.
@@conelord1984 Maru isn't exactly on the level of Serral. He has been a rather easy opponent for Serral since long time ago.
What are the ideal camera position bindings? That part of pro's microing/macro is mindboggling.

who was serral talking to while playing or did he just talk to himself ? :D

Should Serral have a few more investors or nydus/swarm hosts just to tax Clems APM? Think Rogue is one of the few playing the meta right post-patch
I fkn love FPVs
Liberators and widow mines are way too cost effective

Remember that 2 widow mines kill literally infinite mutas.
