StarCraft 2: BEST PRO Game of 2022 - Serral vs ShoWTimE!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ย. 2022
- Professional match of top level StarCraft 2 between Serral (Zerg) and ShoWTimE (Protoss). This is in my opinion the best pro game of SC2 of 2022 so far. Ridiculously close game between two of the best European pro gamers.

Ah yes, the weekly game of the year.. i've been waiting for it.
lol
Well it was a bad ass game!!!
But the dude is right, just a little more patient and the Protos would win it!
Strategy from the player made a difference, not only fin the army/units
Einstein said "time is relevant".
I fully support the idea of a Game of the Year bracket where we can vote our way to the best of your videos you named GotY.
Yes making a playlist of them and then we can go through them all
This is genius
Agree! 👍
Game of the Year of the Year
@@andrewrobinson4382 GOTY Contendor.
It was definitely a contender for game of the year. What a finish
i think you mean "finnish"
finnish's finisher
"Serral with his back up against the wall, but Showtime is the wall."
It's ok Lowko, we all have our fantasies.
A secret fantasy as "Showtime doesn't want to be caught with his pants down."
Okay fine.... this might actually end up being my favorite game of the year lol
Some might call this game an absolute banger.
Still others might call this game an absolute bratwurst.
@@william_sun 👍
@@william_sun bratwurst are a type of sausage?
@@zerglinglover2303 Lowko searched for synonyms for "banger" in a recent cast, and the first result was "bratwurst".
@@zerglinglover2303 The English call sausages "bangers" and one type of sausage in German is a bratwurst, hence banger-->sausage-->bratwurst.
We are blessed to have so many games of the year!
Reminds me of the 2000s era when every game had "game of the year" on the tin 😅. It is an outstanding game though 👏💪
Reminds me of the 2000's when everything was just in general better, no one glued to their phones, people talked to other's without shoving their phones in their face, everyone was just .... Oh well.
@@kardainzr161 i share this sentiment.
I’m starting to play again after an extremely long hiatus. I forgot how deep the game was, how much fun it is to cheese your opponents, setting your armies to hot keys so you can fight effectively. Forgot how much I loved this game. ❤️❤️🙏☺️
It also helps these players all wanna go late game and can't handle cheese or all ins. They ain't like they were in the WOL days. Wouldn't even get out of Bronze back in the day if you couldn't stop cheese
Serral, never seems to end amazing us with his skill.
How scary that Serral is branching out into skill sets other than just macro. How scary is that to play against? ;)
I don't know too much SC2 but it looks more like Showtime choked when he had the chance to win through repeated over extending.
Zerg proliferates flawlessly under Serral's command, just like what Zerg' supposed to be. Rogue isn't close enough to his level.
At this point, game of the half-decade may be an appropriate description... :D Either way, I'm here for it!
I love your weekly games of the year lowko
GAME OF THE YEAR - so much game clutches, I can't breath properly because its so intense. This game match is like your playing all 3 campaigns in 1 Legendary Epic Battle!
That truly was one of the best and most intensive games I've seen. Great play from both Showtime and Serral, loved it :))))
Love finding more Lowko SC2 content I haven't stumbled across before (:
Thanks for casting. Been watching sc2 pro casts since hdstarcraft and husky. When hd quit no one filled the void til lowko showed up
I'm not sure why Showtime didn't hunt down the last of the queens and infestors at the end. Taking pot-shots at Serral's structures until the infestors got their energy back seemed like a bad way to go. I guess he didn't have any detection left if they burrowed. Okay nevermind, I answered my own question. 😂
It felt like he had time to bring down a lot of buildings before the infestor regained his energy but he didn´t focus so much structures
@@Phoboz nah, tempests are slow attackers, won't be able to destroy all of the buildings as fast as lurkers and lings
okay yeah I would say THIS is the best game of the year hands down, had me on the edge of my seat at the end there!
and he might have won, if not for a couple of moves like being late to sacrifice probes then losing too many probes, then serral realizes there must be hardly any probes left so he goes to kill every last probe... Or then at the very end, losing 1 oracle = no detection, thats huge. or just casually missing opportunity by not taking out every single creep tumor in sight by attack move stutter stepping the tempests during boring flight over creep cause they have huge range and high DPS but you cant let them idle.
Lowko your videos always brighten my day thank you so much for posting
Amazing game, very enjoyable to see
What an incredible match . thanks Lowko for making it so entertaining. love it 😊
this was such a satisfying watch!
great game, thanks for sharing it.
Awesome game, first time I've watched on like this. The use of combined arms, mixing ground and air, and using pretty much every unit available, was amazing.
Congrats on 500k Subs! :)
"Serral up with his back against the wall" i lold so hard, made my day.
lol...I love at the end how Serral fungals Showtimes entire army like 8 times and Showtime just leaves it in a huge clump fight after fight. Like if Showtime actually split his army and microed in any of the late game fights outside of stutter steeping he would have easily won.
I feel like the power of Protoss units makes players more prone to develop a bad habit of clumping units together
@@xitaris5981 More like the slowness plus largeness of Protoss units makes spreading them impractical in any engagement.
showtime mostly came out ahead in those fights though. serral didn't have enough anti-air to kill the fungaled army and ended up losing many infestors.
@@zzasdfwas Dude don't rationalize it. Reverse the roles. Would Serrals army had survived if it was clumped vs storms? No? Then why should Skytoss survive easily?
Double edged blade for having unlimited selection imo.
The burrowed zergling at 23:20
"hehe, I am sneaky."
Well this was an amazing game!! Edge of our seats for the last 10 minutes! Well done on casting it so well too!!
he is phishing right?
Great stuff! Unusual and gripping game, even though the map got mined out there wasn't a dull stalemate. Well worth the watch and the like.
Thank you Lowko. I'm at 1min 23s and you have saved my night. We have Die Mauer vs the Overlord Finisher. Thank you God for this treat.
Nobody's talking about how much money showtime threw away towards the end with the batteries, static defense and rebuilding that nexus over and over. I had a sinking feeling most of this game thinking that my favorite zerg serral surely would lose this. I can't believe it
If showtime saved those minerals to build interceptors for the carriers he would've won for sure
@@alderweghier3935 interceptors are pretty easy to counter, I shot them down so quickly with mass hydras. They're also expensive.
Carriers nowadays aren't as strong as StarCraft Broodwar's carries anymore, easily countered by many type of other units.
@@atrudokht I take your word, I haven't played starcraft for almost 10 years. Only watch the pros every now and then
"Who is this Lowko guy and why is he so fun?" Actual quote I said when I came across your video for the first time. I didn't really get into Starcraft too much and seeing how Lowko keeps such a high and fun energy around the game, it's making me think the community may be mature and fun to play with. Lowko, if you're reading this, you're a really awesome dude. Thanks for the fun video and end to my night.
As a Protoss player, Showtime made me a little bi nervous for 2 reasons:
- not using more of the robotics bay units since they can be very efficient against roaches, ravagers, zerglings and queens
- using the Stalkers for way too long and consequentialy switching to skytoss far too late
Then he basically "shoot his own foot" with some bad decisions (recalling when he should not, using storms in favor of feedbacks which would probably prove more useful in his situation).
But nevertheless, awesome showtime from the two of them while the protoss player definitely stood up to his name
This is how Starcraft 2 should be played. Two strong warriors fighting all the way down to the last mineral. The ultimate result is a stalemate where all resources are gone and no damaging units left :D.
i know this is a late comment but damn that micro at 25:59 was good! even this late in the game, pulling back banes on spread zealots and letting the lings mesh thorugh to wrap around followed by 2 roaches to clean them up without wasting any banelings. this level of play is something else
You should make a video series called "Moving the goalposts once again"
You can put every "game of the year" in that playlist.
Probably would make the longest playlist on this channel.
You can call the first best game " THE BEST GAME", the second one "THE VERY BEST GAME", the 3rd "THE VERY VERY BEST GAME". You got the idea
The real please believe me I swear dude best game of the year
serral is straight up unbelievable
that last fight when he managed to neuro the final tempest made me audibly gasp
At the end of the year, Lowko needs to have a tournament bracket of his "Game of the Year" videos. It's quickly turning from a bracket of 8 to a bracket of 64.
I was watching this live and it was absolutely insane, even though ShoWTimE was already down 0:3 in the series. Probably the best game i've ever seen and I have seen a loooot of games
Like youre mom
I found myself helping Serral at one point in this game... I was screaming Burrow, Burrow, Burrow your 3 queens hes got no detection, and then 5 seconds later he does it.
Your welcome Serral ;)
Yellow Protoss vs. Purple Zerg... reminds me of my youth :)
WOW!!! Thanks for the entertainment and 4K vids!
Those games that go on like that until the very bitter end truly are the best, in SC2. Well done to both players for giving us such a show :)
That was seriously amazing to watch!!!!!!
I've waited so long to see a game of the year!
Great match & cast.
Super fun game. Thx for casting
My prayers go towards the poor probes at the end, who were doing their best to carry some extra minerals, for a new interceptor. Literally 1 new interceptor
Great cast as always!
This was absolute madness! More swings that in a tennis match! GG Well Casted!
I had no idea what was going on but i still watched from start to finish. Great commentator!
How could you not look at the final resources lost!!! We HAVE to know! You end your casts too quickly!!
Great cast, amazing game!! Can't wait til next week for the new game of the year.
Winter would have shown us the unit's and resources lost. :p
Damn the endgame was wonderful.
Deserving the game of the year title for sure
The whole game was full of unusual(drops, Muta vs phoenixes etc)moves while not really being mistakes
Thanks again for the great content 🙂
I don't even play SC2 and watched that whole thing. Epic nailbiter.
"Once those minerals have been mined, they aren't coming back."
-Lowko, 2022
Ahhh man nostalgia hitting my real nice right now. Good memories of this game when I was young.
I think this is the game of the year! A mini base race and micro down to like 5 units each!? Phew
Wish that ground army moved out sooner when there was nothing left to fight ground toss
That was sick!
That was insane. Absolutely ridiculous
What observer interface or mod is used to see player cams and Chrono on the production tab?
Loved it!
that fart in 11:57 was on point
Loved watching it :)
I am a year late, but that was AWESOME! I wouldn't have able to think about those kind of moves. Serral is BEAST! Kudos to Showtime as well. Both are awesome players!
This was for sure a real banger!!
this is like 20th game of the year lowko uploaded to youtube this year : O
That was pretty savage
Serral proves himself to be the strongest SCII player again by his amazing tactics
Where can you find more of these pro league games to watch?
While watching that match live i already knew 100% that im gonna watch a lowko cast of it, calling it game of the year. and this time i fully agree.
This was awesome.
Honestly the first half of the game, it wasn't really Game of the Year material, but those last 5 minutes, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!
38:25 “There’s four probes somewhere out on the map.” Uh Simon, those aren’t probes. Those are minerals.
Haven't seen one of your videos in a very long time. Hope you're doing well!
Man I was rooting for Serral the entire game... So close, but a amazing game
19:42 I wasnt ready for this one hahahahahahah
I dunno man there's still room for more suspense. I want a game where it's a probe, a drone, and 2 gas mines left to duke it out.
The fun game is when both player mines out entire map, with 0 economy left. That's when the heart and adrenaline start to race
Absolute nail biter the entire time! brilliant.
I laughed out loud at 20:24, nice comment bro
This was a banger for sure
Dude no way didn’t think Serral had a chance more towards end WOW
That was pretty awesome
what an insane game
Game of the Year, everyday in LovkoTV :D
Time goes gaster when you are happy ... last month felt like 5 years and here we go again ... year...
Already subscribe, Like was clicked. Thx for your wiek, great gamę to watch.
This is absolute game of the year material. One of the best of the best match this year.
my oldest brother and I used to play this all of the time...
Good times!
That could have gone either way the whole game. Top tier play from the both of them.
great game, great cast :)
Serral sniping that group of high templars was the clutch play.
that was guite a treat for a weekly game of the year :O
That was a spicy game!!
Holy shit this is such a good year for the games of the year
I am only at the opening phase but I gotta point out how satisfying it is backseating for Serral. At the very worst there's 5 sec delay between me pointing something out and him actually doing it. I know it doesn't seem like much given he's supposed to do the correct moves but it's really rare even at that level to be that optimal.
Ok, 15 minutes in and it's really weird. I say Serral's gotta get his carapace (not ranged) upgrade and he queues it up 5 sec later together with flyer attack. I said earlier to get that top forward base and entrench it with 3, no 4 spines and 5 minutes later there it is. Exactly 4 spines as optimal but with better timing cos now broods can cover it.
Seriously it's like anything smart I can gather by not doing milion other things and just observing he does but even better. This is just weird. I guess the grind is a pathway to many powers some consider unnatural.
It's painful to see those tempest kill each other man. NO DETECTION haha
Protoss: "I am the swarm now" 😂
What song is that playing at 28:29?
