It was worth covering every game in this series because it was tense and we get to see trap's comeback. Otherwise just do whatever you think is highlight-worthy.
Either way works. Though my personal preference would be if only a few clips from the boring games were added, like the turning/winning points for those, to have a more complete picture without watching the whole 7 game series (like, say, adding around 3-6 minutes worth of video length for the other three games in total). Still going to watch the highlights either way.
Yeah me too. Unfortunately RTS will never be mainstream again like it was back when eSports were first starting. :( MOBA's have completely kicked their asses. But there's still plenty of life in both SC BW and SC2!
After three years wandering in the desert, Protoss fans finally have their hero. Just for clarification he was already my favorite Protoss before this. Serral is my favorite Zerg as well, but let’s face it; Protoss NEEDED a win. 😎
Good to see some Protoss victories after the Zerg Domination over the years (mostly from Serral). It does feel like static defenses make or break too many games though. Its almost like who loses patience quickest.
@@WarRior-rn4kb Sometimes, even the thumnail animation spoils it! The most reasonable thing to do is to click fast on the video, and not read the comments before the end.
They've always needed a nerf. need to add like a 0.25 second delay before it triggers. When fungal growth was nerfed for zerg they should have made changes to storm too.
Happy for Trap but also happy for Protoss! They haven't seen much championships in the past couple of years I feel so to get it in a BO7 finals against Serral no less was a confidence booster for me that Protoss can still go all the way.
I'd love to see Serral using turtle tactics and Skytoss. Turtling was his technique back in 2018 till he got those Broods. I'm wondering if he could do the same with Carriers. 🤔
@Patty Homes I haven't seen a late game zerg vs zerg... would Broodlords be useless against corruptors and vipers? I always thought that Carriers are better because the can attack both land and air units compared to Broodlords.
@@marus3953 Broodlords is deadly because corruptors deter basically any air options against the Broodlords, and you just need a few vipers to pull any counters in like tempests or thors or a few infestors for crowd control. Carriers on paper seems good but in practical they really aren't. Vipers plus corruptors can basically slowly but surely clean up and reduce the carrier count because in mass they can one shot carriers while carriers need time to ramp up its dps by slowly launching interceptors one by one. If not, mass hydras can also destroy carriers by first killing all the interceptors. The real battle is with templars feed back vs vipers abduct or storm/disruptors vs hydras. Also, no one goes broodlords in zvz, because anyside with the higher corruptor count will basically win. You don't want to morph them into broodlord. Lurkers also easily deter hydras. Which is why you mostly see roach and ravergers mirror match and slowly teching to lurkers. ZvZ is less about army composition, but more about harass and trade.
@@skychaos87 Thanks, I didn't know that Carriers dps were like that. Is it like that for Carriers, their dps resets everytime their out of battle? I have a better working knowledge of Zerg through Lowko's channel. But not with Terran and Protoss since I haven't seen such in depth tutorials for those races. I really want to know about the other races because sometimes I can't understand the value of scouting when the casters talk about it in the highlights.
@@skychaos87 another thing siege tanks and nukes do friendly damage. Does EMP/feedback/storm/purification nova/baneling/parasitic bombs/fungal growth do friendly damage as well?
@@marus3953 Of the spells and moves you mentioned, only storm and purification nova does friendly damages, the rest doesn't. The logic of scouting is simple and straightforward, its to gain knowledge and information of what your opponent is trying to do.

@@darylsonofdeadbeat1349 Exactly, Lambo was the one to come up with it. There are also the variations of the build called the warsaw subway ( from Elazer ) and the italian vespa ( from Reynor ) :)
So, we all knew how Zerg was overpowered this last three years. Toss has been hanging by the cliff all those years with all the cheeses and all ins they need to do just for them to finish the game early thus avoiding the late game winfestors with their free units and imba infested terrans. Now Serral is still great but he looks human now, with Raynor just a very good player from being an excellent player in the past. Now be ready with those Zerg and Terran tears crying for balance now that the game is in its most balanced era. Not perfect but is now more playable.
Blizzard, please nerf the comments. They keep on being one sided without seeing the other. An easy fix would be for everyone to just stop and look. The grass is greener on the other side.
Agreed! How could both Zerg AND Protess be utterly OP? I weep for people who have to balance games in light of narrow visioned comments from the peanut gallery.
Yeah, I still remember about him vs Byun. First Byun won with a 3-2 then the time after that was a incredible 3-0 for Serral. Soon we are going to see the results of this lost from Serral, maybe another 3-0 :)
@@33awesomeman33 Totally agreed. Hydras are pretty weak vs skytoss unless you have a shit ton of them and are ahead in upgrades...Serral should have used infestor to fungal the HT hit them with bane first then he wouldnt have lost his entire army to 3 storms lol.
Am I the only one that thinks the zerg strategy is mine as much as you can, and just throw resources at your opponent until you win? Terran and protoss take actual skill not just numbers
Try playing zerg in 1v1 ladder and let me know how that goes. Z may be able to build a lot of units but they mean nothing if they arnt commanded intelligently and respect the insane game ending potential of certain P and T units. Not to mention mech terran's disproportionate effectiveness for double digit apm.
Yeah you are the only one. Zerg is the hardest to play, that's why the biggest APM requirement. Protoss gets huge value from just Amoving a clump, Terran gets huge value from just planting stuff down, (sieges widowmines) with only marines requiring skill. Zerg can not take ANY head on battle. It's the only race that CAN NOT out-unit or out-macro. They HAVE to make a play happen because they have the weakest units. If they don't make a play, Terran or Protoss wins simply thanks to cost efficiency.
Idk. Just look at any resources lost tab of any tvz or pvz and the zerg is consistently 50-100% more losses while controlling most of the map. I think terran and protoss players are just better at managing resources efficiently
@@danielvargas4793 Eh, Terran and Protoss players are just better? I'd say that the fact that it's a rule means it doesn't depend on players but it's a balance issue.
@@F4c2a so nerf zerg by not letting them expand as quickly so they cant just remax 8 times in a 15 minute game but buff their combat units a little bit. +1 Armor seems fair
Very uncharacteristic of Serral to play so reckless and aggressive at a choke point. Should've found another way to get to Trap... Protoss was very secure. After the second big attack and loss, it would have been wise to re-strategize.
Get the feeling serral was trying a new strat in this tourney. If he wanted to take this series to late game (like in game 7) instead of all inning with queens he knows he'll win every time. He's just getting creative to keep opponents on their toes... which will in turn make his late game even more deadly in upcoming tournaments.
Nothing lol. Serral really had no chance in that last game esp trying to push on that heavily armored toss base with canons/shields/carrier/void with hydra/ling/bane lol. Protoss with air and HT are insanely overpowered. Storm is the easiest cast to land that is devastating vs zerg. Serrals only hope was getting a few vipers/corrupters to mix with hydra and prob a few banes to run straight into the HTs..
Brood war yes. But sc2, T and Z also have a lot of competitive spells : viper, infestor, ghost emp+snipe. Also Z and T has very strong armies, while P armies are basically weak.
@@todornedyalkov5510 true. especially for beginners vs beginners match. But P is indeed more practical, consider Colossus, Disruptor, Storm, and that's P's strength. T has to siege, Z has to use spells more strategically. I think overall SC2 is balanced. For broodwar, P has all of it. Carriers as the strongest unit, permanent mind control (wtf), storm which only costs 75 mana (comparable with weak Irradiate with 75 mana), reaper (125 damage without needing to siege, and can be used with Shuttle drop), maelstrom to lock a bunch of Mutalisks. What T has? siege tanks + goliath in all games. What Z has? hydra, ultralisk, lurker in all games.
So please foreign casters, stop calling Serral the GOAT. HE IS NOT EVEN CLOSE. He is incredible and well accomplished sure; but he hasn't set any record apart from being the best foreigner (but even that Neeb has an edge).

@@todornedyalkov5510 true. especially for beginners vs beginners match. But P is indeed more practical, consider Colossus, Disruptor, Storm, and that's P's strength. T has to siege, Z has to use spells more strategically. I think overall SC2 is balanced.
For broodwar, P has all of it. Carriers as the strongest unit, permanent mind control (wtf), storm which only costs 75 mana (comparable with weak Irradiate with 75 mana), reaper (125 damage without needing to siege, and can be used with Shuttle drop), maelstrom to lock a bunch of Mutalisks.
What T has? siege tanks + goliath in all games. What Z has? hydra, ultralisk, lurker in all games.
So please foreign casters, stop calling Serral the GOAT. HE IS NOT EVEN CLOSE.
He is incredible and well accomplished sure; but he hasn't set any record apart from being the best foreigner (but even that Neeb has an edge).
i want to see a game where both pro players have full map vision...counter...counter and more counter!!!! is there a game like that already?
