The worst is when you peel off the one zergling to set off the mine and not only does it instead blow up all the rest of your lings, but that one ling knows you tried to sacrifice it. And it's still alive. Awkward moment for the overmind.
Even worse, that survived zergling now know who is the favourite
That zergling later hits the GymPool to become a ultralisk only to later get mass sniped.
This will be the story of StarCraft 3, of how a disgruntled Zergling travel to earth and is elected president of the UED.
@nomadshow216 Kerrigan actually had an intelligent pet Zergling called "Broken Horn" who actually tried to kill Abathur because he got tired of his shit 😂
Chat before the match:
Oliveira: gogog
Oliveira: jessus
Oliveira: why always you
Serral: what do you mean alwayss….
Serral: we play like twice a year
Oliveira: z
I'm a simple man. I see an SC2 thumbnail from Lowko that says Bloodbath, I click watch and smash that Like button.
Oliveira actually played insanely well in that Game 2. Ridiculous multitasking attacking everywhere. It's wild that Serral still held it and won.
Playing vs zerg
> win minor engagements for 25 minutes straight
> still let zerg get into late game
> eat one (1) fungal growth
> immediately lose
@@GYI5U Cry me a river
@@teodoreh he's right though
That liberator micro was kinda sloppy tho. He could've make ghosts instead just to emp or at least snipe infestors and vipers. I do agree that he could've won that game but he was not fast enough to attack the other side of the map for expansions
@@geuros as Lowko said, that only cuz its serral, every other zerg would have fallen
"Golf appointment" is called a "Tee Time". Its always fun watching Lowko casts.
Absolutely love the swarm in game 3. Serral is so ridiculously fast and good I start to think he is a zerg himself.
He is abathur. All the arms help with the micro
The Netherlander, the follow-up to the Highlander.
And if you are from the USA, the homelander. Or the Stater?
@@rahulshah1408 The united
Nailed it! Serral fits in online SC2 tourneys around the more important and prestigious professional minigolf circuit.
Kung fu cup is played during day time in Finland so thats why Serral joins this sometimes compared to weekly cups that are too late for his taste. He goes to sleep about 11pm normally and weeklys end closer to midnight or later.
Very interesting information. But just so you know, Jesus (Truth) loves you and wants to lead us all to Heaven. Have faith.
@@darkalley8595 Obsessed with the implication that the knowledge of Serral's bedtime is somehow forbidden by the Church and a mark of a wayward soul
@johanasala is a Serral stalker and knows his every move and entire daily routine.
Pro gamer with a relatively normal sleep schedule, unheard of. Also possibly why hes won so much. Everyone else needed a nap!
@@TheMasterhomaster it's pretty common knowledge in Serral fanbase that he goes to bed early. Casters make jokes about it often
Wow, that game number 2 has to be the best game of Starcraft 2 ive seen in years. I can't even remember seeing a game where players combined has lost 90.000 minerals. That was EPIC.
I think we all appreciate Netherlander, and his Center for Kids Who Can't Macro Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too.
Damn that first game 10 roach push did so much to stunt Oliv's progress.
Serral is a genius
Literally just make roaches what's so crazy about that
@@geuros idk is this standard zerg play? Because its very effective.
It's like a domino effect that leaves the opponent unable to catch up, as long as you dont make any mistake
@@cleangoblin2021 there's plenty of things how to attack, it's just when you do it, that's how serral wins. Scouting which buildings are up for enemies. Are there roach counters? No? Then go early roaches. It's almost always case-case basis. He plays according to what he sees. I wouldn't be surprised if serral memorized all counters/costs and timing of resources.
2nd game was amazing tho. Oliveira had the advantage but serral micro/macro'd it perfectly to a point where he could still fight and win
serral is like a raid boss
26:57 this incredible Terran positioning, Marauder and Marines in front protecting the ghost
Wow, I just noticed lowko started adding the stickers at the beginning of the video 😮😮
love how a good start vs serral is "down 6 workers, 2base vs 4; to serrals advantage both" and that's after a good hellion harassthat killed 9 drones at 5min xD
14:35
The "Finnisher"/"Finnish" bit gives me a little chuckle personally. I'm Canadian, but I sometimes as a joke tell people "I'm Canadese" "You mean Canadian?" "No, I'm Canadese, Canadian is a different thing". Just to confuse them and have a little giggle.
Really shows how a world class Zerg can take on that insane impressive aggression from the Terran. Just hold on. Keep holding on. The second the Terran gives you the opportunity, makes a single mistake: capitalize.
Zerg is just hold out till late game and fungal gg. 😂
No matter how finnish you think you are, Serral will always be finnisher
Ahh, my morning Lowko. I either watch it with coffee on my days off, or it makes a nice video to watch on the bus ride home from work in the morning when I get out
We all love your fauxcabulary, Lowko. Keep making up those words!
Lowko and Hot Tea to start the weekend morning, magnificent.
There is an NBA player by the name of Lauri Markkanen who also uses "The Finnisher" as his logo, even has a poster of it. I wonder who used it first?
Loved the sandwich bar comment at around 44:30 :D
I thought people from Holland were called hollandaise
Also, why don't terrans use anti armor missiles vs zerg? They're always so clumped up and the ravens in the air would provide detection against the burrowed infestors.
I don't really know but from a recent vid, lowko did say Ravens are not that used against other races however in tvt they are always there.
game 1 was definitely 100% serral win
game 2 was a serral comeback win, oliveira definitely had the advantage for a few minutes there
game 3 was a close back to back early on but in the end serral just played the fights better.
Thank you for the video!
Lowko the Neatherlander, casting games for eternity and slaying Probes left, right and center XD
Serral the Finisher is such a good joke
Catching a lowko cast only 10 mins after upload?? Oooh I am liking today already
39:53 as i recall queens are actually extremely huge. like skyscraber size.
Love your focabulary!
Love your casting, man! Watching from the Philippines.
Rare to see a fellow filipino watching sc2. Glad I am not the only one watching in my country 😂😂😂
Whoah, kabayan.
is sneako only succesful philippine mf?
Hello fellow Pinoys! :)
That claw back in game 2 was savage
Serrall est vraiment un monstre même quand ta l impression qu'il peut perdre il te sort une contre attaque qui fini la game au top , ❤️
My god...Serral is build diferent. at 19:01 he turns some Zerglings in Banelings to survive the widowmine blast...how and why...
Damn good eye, that gives me some nerdchills damn.
OMFG 😮❤
Lowko’s vids are part of my daily routine at this point 🏆
Akshually, it's not "ghost mech", it's "spooky mech" (or sp00ky mech).
you talked about Serral being the finnisher, I always thought you were saying Finnish Zerg...lol
I think through the AI we might be able to capture some parts of personalities based on the YT. I hope of a future where Purifier Lowko casts to the stars.
You describing the comment of "people from Finland are called Fins" caused genuine laughter on my part. Fantastic....Finstatic?
great game as always from the finisher!
Serral 1v2 vs Scarlett and Erik, who do you think would win? Would Serral dare use Erik's build order against him? We must know
hahaha! your vocabulary is great! it is amazing that English is one of those languages that you can tell what people are saying even if they say it wrong.
As a zerg I can tell this 3 games were very uplifting and satisfactory
This guys are artist of SC2
Serral's purpose in life these days is to remind World Champions, past, present and future, that they are still mortal and smack them down when they get too uppity. lol
2nd match outcome definitely does not do justice to what we have seen xD
Game 2 serral got a fungal on pretty much all the ghosts too. 1/2 a sec can be game changing.
That fungal was dirty 😮
Game 2 was easily the most awesome game I´ve seen in a long while
You know Harstem's roast was memorable to Lowko when he keeps making golfing callbacks to it.
It's not a roast, Serral is a golfer
I read the title, ignored the first playwrs name and was like ooooo a match against Serral? Not realizing he meant Oliveira.
Lowko has invented a new language. Nice.
3:40 it's a time energy question.
it takes roughly 1 week out of your training to do a tournament, before mind and body is recuperated to be at normal training efficiency again; assuming no injuries was obtained in the tournament.
so the question is if the loss through that 1 week is worth the gain from that tournament.
as soon as big money is involved its also a calc question of where to morally lay your time, and moneymoneymoney it's about all that money :D
it's kinda sad that the last 10 years. 10+ right?? all the best players of SC2 only played SC2 professionally bc they wanted the money, instead of the older ones where it was just people that loved playing all the time ^^
moneymoneymoney ;P
your my favorite Starcraft streamer
Franchement une amélioration sur les dommages collatéraux contre les unités alliés serait vraiment nécessaires pour les terrans c'est tellement frustrant de voir les unités anti mêlées (mines, chares)faire plus de mort chez les terrans que chez les zergs ou protoss. A pars les lancés flammes aucune unité ne peut faire de dégâts de zones ciblés
Ou alors un ciblage par les tanks sur les dégâts de zones les plus importants pour l'ennemie et collatéraux les moins important pour les alliés
Oli really gave Serral a hard time on this one
But... Who are You!? I don't know who are You if You don't tell me!. I miss Lowco.
Serral is on a neverending winning streak, is he even human.
Guess he really is legit the fourth race on its own afterall
The Netherlander, the Hollandaise Hero we deserve, if not the pasta bolognese we crave!
Game 2 was so difficult
Let me get this straight: Serral aka. The Night King invades the land behind the wall and grabs a tournament from this previously hyped youngling in a very tormenting fashion …!
Is it only me or does this plot sound kinda familiar?
Ik nam altijd eigenlijk aan dat jij Serral 'Finnisher' noemde vanwege je Nederlandse achtergrond. Volgens mij noemen wij ze ook gewoon Finnen, maar het klinkt wel iets meer "Nederlands" om 'Finnisher' te zeggen.
21:50 Has 9 kills, got a queen.... and 9 drones :D
Are they called fins because they're from the ocean?
Serral is inasane.... mas favorite player.. great cast Lowko
Finland people call finnish and they always "finish" it. - - Its the same line from Teenage mutant ninja turtle 2. Omg no wonder so familiar.
I know, I know, if it sounds too good to be true, but... I was hoping to see a high level game played on the old Blood Bath map. LOL
Yet another example as to how Serral is the G.O.A.T
Who’s the caster?
1vs1 scary for me because. Lovecraft bugs started attacking me , while i planning what to build. Scary playing against zerg for new player
The time span in youtube is very much the spoiler of
4:57 hehe yer, i've always wondered why not try to focus the supply? i mean terran NEVER has extra supply early/mid game, 2 depots down and he can't produce units for a while, that in itself is enough win to justify a little investment (and 200 mineral is 8 lings worth from the depo kills alone, depos are not that cheap early 4 lings per depo and not that much more hp).
5:22 if he had focused the supply here instead he could properly have won the game right there, it's 2 supply they die in 1,5 volley, that's 3 volleys off fire which they can easily tank and now T need 16 more supply just to built a unit and all there is is 4hellion 1raven, 1 marauder I think; so even 200 min lings would do wonders ^^
even here 8:01 just destroy the depos and no more units could be built for like a minute, honestly its the strongest tactic; bile the depos, stay safe, let the 4 roaches in main do some dmg, pull back built up for 30 sec more while the T can't built bc supply block, rinse and repeat and again 1 depo is TWO marines.
if TWO marines exploded from the fight every time you biled down a depo, you would do nothing but bile depo's so why avoid killing them so much, even if it doesn't supply block which it would always do until late game
Actually Lowko! people from Finland are call Fin NOT Finisher.
i would prefer to be called a gathering of "great Dutch" or "small Dutch" dependant on the group size.
I think serral intentionally dosnt nydus in these games
hey since we missed the tournament, how about couple of games? We don't mind knowing that terran wins
Serral!
Damn. The level of disrespect for oliviera is palpable...
I would love to see Serral play as Terran.
I'd rather see what he could do as Protoss..........just because that's the side that is least in the top spots.
Serral won as Terran in Finland tournament.
He who would pick a pun, would pick a pocket.
@The_LowkoTv2.. Nice! What do I do?!
11:00 i didn't know they shut down SC2 servers in china. What a dumb thing to do.
Serral should be nerfed to make the game fair for the mortals. Maybe playing with one hand while having someone to slap him every few seconds will be enough to give everyone else a chance.
how tf did serral win game 2? It felt like he was behind the whole game and then pulled a victory out of his ass?!
yeah, lurker/viper is dumb op against terran.
I think mass liberators were not nearly as cost efficient as expected.
Zerg being Zerg xD
Feels to me like Oli was trying too hard to get to that late game super efficient terran meat grinder composition, failed to notice his moment and use it. Most would probably just have bled out, but Serral is Serral, he'll hang on by a thread and wait for a chance. Oli backed off a bit to transition and that gave Serral enough room. Can't just back off when opponents are down, got to go in and kick them in the nuts, make sure down means out.
Serral is winning all the way through. Even he's under pressure he never makes any macro mistakes. Also Oliveria fails to kill any hatchery during the high tempo drop attacks, which means the zerg is not taking heavy damage.
Do pro player get a feeling for if they have the updrades done, or are fighting a upgraded army without keeping check of the ingame timers?
most of teh time you will know the time when it is done adn you can start teh next, but does it also get felt? for a lack of a better explenation?
not even needing to click on a enemy unit to know you are ahead or behind the upgrade time?
I mean it takes a second to click on an enemy and see if they're upgraded. Most high level players will scout if they are building the upgrades and can work the timing out roughly from there.
Does anyone know why Blizzard shut down the Chinese servers?
Tldr: money.
Their licensing agreement expired and there was a dispute with their Chinese partner.
@@skieinc ✋🏻
29:38 Uh, are we okay with someone playing with over 1.5K APM? Sorry, is Cocaine now legal?
GG
I kind of feel like if SC2 were real, Chinese Terrans would be eating live larva, drinking creep and spawning pool fluids, and making other, equally sick "food" out of zerg.
Is this StarCraft with mods? Mine doesn't look anything like this lol
Ghosts are still suuuper broken lol
Yeah… Lowko you’re such a Dutchlander 😅
Is Serral nickname Finnisher?All this time thinking it was just FinnishZerg
Hey Lowko, did you know that people from Finland are actually called Finns, not Finnishers?
Terran op? How to beat serral?
was this a friendship game or anything official?
This series was the finals for this weeks Kung fu cup
"Nederworlder"
"You can call me a nederlander" says the Dutchman.
Does Serral play golf for real ?
Why do Terrans insist on going Bio into Ling/Bane? It seems really dumb to me like Banes were literally designed to counter bio and I have almost never seen it go well for the Terran outside of a few edge cases. You need to be going mech against this not bio
