These 2 have the be the best caster ever. Whatever sport or esport or anything you watch. The way that they never interrupt each other but continue talking is very impressive and only something you can do after you have worked with someone for many years.
True. Even for person who doesn't know starcraft they make it somewhat understandable and delightful to watch.
They're excellent. Although I do enjoy listening to Artosis and Tasteless too
I found em way annoying almost wanted to mute the video
@@tylerblevins8664 I am aware of that ahah
I was looking for this comment! I was so taken aback by how well they commentated throughout the entire run-- so informative and helpful too that even people who know very little of the game could still follow along and know what things mean. They're a great team
Serral: 450+ apm for an entire tournament
Also Serral: Signing autographs at 5 wpm
Shat is APM?

Kimi Raikkonen must be his hero lol
Imagine if you had these commentators commentating your life: The alarm goes off at 8AM, it's another standard day here in California. John decides to hit the snooze button but this is going to really cost him later on. He doesn't know his boss Sam is preparing to talk about lateness in the team in this month's team review. John finally gets up and decides to get a coffee. Unfortunately, he spills it and has to change his shirt. This is going to cost him another 3 minutes. On the other side of the town, Sam is getting into his car already....
epic
Sam gets the promotion and GG IS CALLLED !!!!!!
Underrated comment!
LOL great comment xD
Always have that passionate commentator in your brain every morning! Gives me an idea for tomorrow!
..... *too stressful!!!*
I think the biggest thanks should go to Serral's brother, for never letting him win as a kid, instilling the mentality of always trying your hardest with every move, from a very young age.
Agreed. Serral was so used to losing, that losing isn't a big deal. Most pros are afraid to lose. And if you're afraid to lose, you can't become your best. I wonder if Serral's brother would have been better than Serral if he had stuck with pro gaming.
Yes I love that. I wonder how great his brother would have been if he followed his dream.
@@jpb6895 Yes I was also programmed by the tiny docu, now I also wonder these things, it is I who wonder, not the thoughts inserted into my mind.
@@daath144occultistmaster5 too real man
there is something fundamentally wrong with you to believe in such a false logic.
As a Korean who is a fan of StarCraft, I feel very good. As non-Korean gamers win the StarCraft 1 tier tournament such that WCS Global Finals, I hope that the world knows that StarCraft is not a game that only Koreans can play. I would like to thank Serral. It was a good match to know his greatness.
juego arreglado...no hicieron que chocaran contra maru... y marus vs sos.. juego amañado...
Yup Serral is awesome. Proved that Koreans are not op
I feel bad for koreans cuz starcraft is the only thing they were good at besides being good at losing every single war
@@artyomarty391 wow it's like SC2 is the only esports game
A Korean who can speak English? That's rare.
As a Starcraft fan and Korean I've been watching SC1, SC2 since 20 years ago. Serral is unbeatable, he's just perfect..now i hope to see a lot more international gamers like him compete against Korean gamers..and maybe someday we don't need to separate Korean vs others anymore. Also it's too bad that Reynor couldn't make to Blizcon this time. Well anyway now SC2 is getting more interesting than ever. Thank you Serral, you've rewrote the Starcraft history.
The same thing is happening with many other games as well.
Overwatch shows that Koreans can be beaten. They're not gods, they just play like them.
This just finalizes it. Koreans bleed just as all humans do
@danielgr86 This guy really in every comment hating lmao
@@waitwhat238 League of Legends as well. Previous years have seen Korea v Korea finals at world. This year the last Koreans were knocked out in the quarter-finals, with a Chinese team beating Europeans in the final.
Its cool to see someone who is Korean and is actually willing to give serral props. Good to see just a genuine fan of the game! 2018 was an awesome year for starcraft!
@@waitwhat238 Wait... what? Where did Overwatch show that Koreans can be beaten? They won 3 World Cups in a row and London Spitfire (a team completely consisting of Korean players) won the first overwatch league season.
Makes me happy knowing Geoff was still around to see this piece of starcraft history unfold. Looking at the VODs just puts a smile on my face knowing Geoff got to witness this before his life abruptly ended in July 2019.
I was thinking the same thing.
iNcontroL
_You kill my drones?_
_I kill your base._
- Serral
Kidding aside, this kid has elevated the game to a whole new level. Been fantasizing to see a player to execute a game so perfectly. Serral will go down in history as one of the best players of all time definitely.
"IDK who's going to win"
*notices serral has like 11k resources*
uh, yeah serral gonna win
them job to keep the tension and keeping public attention
sinephase in game 3 I looked at the supply 120-100 to Stats then again a minute later 115-200 to Serral
Stats can beat this Army of Serrals then Serral is going to rebuild and then STATS IS GOING TO BEAT IT AGAIN!!!!!!! Like yeah okay man
Game 1: 00:00
Game 2: 14:15
Game 3: 27:16
Game 4 : 45:25
Game 5: 58:12
Game 6: 1:11:24
Game 7: 1:45:10 :D
I appreciate this more than i should
You are a true friend
Wait so no draws?? 😮😮
There’s no game 7
incontrols spread is the true game 7
" When I came here I was not expecting to win but at the same time that was my goal." Humble man.
I think Serral has beaten Start Craft II.
@danielgr86 Nah. Korea was the final boss.
@danielgr86 LET THE HATE FLOW THROUGH YOU
it wasn't a landslide lol
danielgr86 Salty.
I LOVE Start Craft!
*gets motivated to play starcraft 2 again*
*loses to a 4minute all-in.*
*remembers why he quit*
*uninstalls forever*
Same history! just decided to play against VERY EASY A.I xD
Weak
Other than Starcraft, you seem to have issues speaking in the 3rd person for some reason.
a year later: *repeat*
lol, join the club SC2 just isn't fun to play fighting against the interface
I watch starcraft since 15 years, i cried like a baby after this final and still do.
how old are you now? 16?
I'm Terran but I'm so happy Serral destroyed OP Protos!
I cried a little too
@Krikegory Kigerstone Pretty Balanced atm. Best Korean ? Terran. Best non-Korean ? Zerg. Finals ? Protoss vs Zerg. Statistically Zerg does worst in lower leagues, better in top leagues.
Zerg probably has the highest skill ceiling, but those who reach it (Serral and Rogue) are almost unstoppable. Creep reveals entire map, boosts unit speed, zerg can tech swap to counter what they fighting, each hatchery can have up to 19 larva, that's almost 100 units ready to remax with 5 bases. The Zerg late game game potential is almost limitless.
Difficulty level : Serral
Yeah, got a problem with that @ss? Hah noobs
Now none can deny that Serral is the best SC2 player in the world right now, he has dominated everything this year, and crushed every Korean that found in his way.
It´s only sad that maru didnt make it to the finals, cause his series vs sos was so awkward. i feel like maru could have beaten him if he played a normal game (cause sos is the best in crazy games).
He needs atleast 1 gsl trophy only then he can prove he is the best.
where can i find his documentary ?
@@darfboony824 GSL vs the world is a GSL trophy even by their standards and blizzon is waaaaay more important than a GSL
The bets is life ..... el mejor es life
Incontrol: I'm excited for next year.. 1:45:26
Oh man that just made me sad..
I didn't even know and now I'm sad :(
rest in peace geoff:(
I cannot see that and not cry
HIS LIFE WAS FOR AIUR
What a player! What a year! I love Starcraft!
Not just the players but the casters and the game camera were absolutely top tier. Not a detail missed. Fantastic work!
This really was a master class in all aspects, and was literally the match that got me into this game.
Also, Tastosis. What an unbelievable casting duo.
I am a Protoss player and I wanted Stats to win, but this. This is historic, I hope to see more players rise up to Serral's level.
Same as a protoss I have to concede that Serral makes this game look like poetry
I'm a protoss lover to the end, but I wanted Serral to win a long side the protoss,but Serral was not playing them unfortunately
clem and reynor are getting quite close
this comment aged so well !
I dont even play/understand SC 2 yet I find this beyond amazing.
Same lol!
what is so hard to understand ?
build a base.
build units
kill the other player :P
that is easy.. but becoming good at the game is another story XD it is impossible now. before you have been able to make a spwaning pool, your opponent have built all there is :P haha
I was there when Serral made history.
Spoiler alert? lol Im watching right now, ... :(
Whoever complains about spoilers and decides to read comments on YT first DESERVES TO BE SPOILED.
- Signed,
every thinking member of YT.
@@dpt300 zerg wins nothing new here.
You mean *changed history, according to Tastosis, lmao
@@dpt300 you should know not to read comments....
Welp... looks like Serral can marry any daughter of a Korean father now lol
lmaoo
HAHAHAHA!
@Richard Casterly Koreans aren't mormons 🤔
There were a few in the audience holding up Marry me signs. He can have his pick at this point.
lol
I have a sushi in my hand uneaten for 10 mins
John Lopez right, I stoped my work to watch how he defeated the best Protoss player man. Serral really rewrote the Starcraft history. A new professional Star is not from South Korea bro 👍
Lol
wtf use chopsticks you troglodyte
EXXTSON 😁😁😁😁😁
EXXTSON you’re supposed to eat sushi with your hands tho
the announcers are epic
Yep
Tastosis has always been the best.
Maybe if they weren't constantly shouting..
@@NathanSweet 100% agree. At least 70% of it is unnecessary shouting.
Tastosis are probably the best casters in all esports, they just keep you on the edge of your seat
2010: It's so hard for Zerg to fight a maxed out Protoss deathball.
2018: It's so hard for Protoss to fight a maxed out Zerg deathball.
Now whenever we hear a balance whine regarding lategame PvZ we just show this replay.
If that's what you take away from this series I feel sorry for you
@@Harry-uq9qd lol k. feel away.
you're kinda right
Cause its serral, arguably the best player in the world currently
i haven't watched a match in ages
The Micro skill level have reached the roofs these days, unhuman
agree, they be like more machine than humans for real wtf
*inhuman
serral is unbelievable. doesn't talk trash and always respectful towards his opponents. i hope he wins the wesg and katowice next year and a gsl as well.
40 mins in and it's 3:0 for Serral, and I looked up the timer on the video it says 1 hour left. That's when I knew this is gonna be good.
I've watched this series live but I'm rewatching it a couple of months later just for its sheer beauty
Same...the more I play and then compare to the match, the more I appreciate the game .
I am unbelievable happy its tastetosis casting this game
Imagine how epic our lives would seem if they narrated them! Like "Andrew got up before the alarm clock went off, what a morning! Anything can happen this Thursday!"
@@MaverickMyth Lol, that's a good one mate.
He acknowledge Lambo with precision.A justified Champion of Sc2!
It proofs that knowledge is half the battle not just mechanics or skill grateful that serral acknowledges lambo for the help against dark and rogue
@Qimodis I think they trained ZvZ with him and gave him their ZvZ tips. I hear that on many interviews, that the top Pros thank their (lower rank) SC friends/rivals for training and giving tips.
I'm really impressed by the nonstop dual shout casting from the 24:40 mark. Taking turns, on the fly, perfect execution and never lost for words.
serral is so op he went back in time to change history! lol i love tasteless he is legendary
I wish he could go back in time...so he can go back to 2014 or 2015 and match up with Life.

The best nonkorean in sc ever, and relatively to skill, probably the best zerg historically and now. Serral is a god, the more you know about the game , the more you see the perfection.
@TemplaiN you are kidding right? Naniwa doesn't come anywhere even remotely close to the pure skill that is Serral
The bets zerg is life .
Him & Neeb.
The best was Nama
The best in sc ever*
Two great players, without any cheese, just beautiful strategic and control play. That really shows what SC2 can be of a game
It was awesome to be there for this. I didn't leave the Starcraft hall all weekend and was completely shocked when SOS rocked Maru, but I couldn't leave. I'm glad Serral is so terrifying and it was awesome to be in the dead center front to see it happen. Looking forward to see how next year shakes out.
its time to Warcraft 3 to come back
One of the greatest moments in eSports history
it was sad when incontrol said he couldn't wait for next year. RIP. Love you
god this was an interesting series, the skills on this finnish man is just awe-inspiring, after all my years as a sc fan to see a scandinavian dominate this hard woul've never come to mind as a scandinavian. Though the only thing that makes me sad is that TotalBiscuit was not here to see it, after all his years of supporting the community wanting foreigners to fight on the same level as koreans consistently, it truly is a shame that the man that kept my love for this game going so strong for so long didn't get to see this incredible piece of SC history.
made me remember TB again. RIP
@@bibotata4303 Who was TB? Did he die? Only been following SC2 for 3 years
@@Catholic-Redpilled-Spaniard total biscuit

Serral broke the game G_G
@مصري جيمر _ MASRE GAMER you are a troll right?
Anyone wants to start a petition for AfreecaTV to host a Serral vs Maru Bo7 cast by Tastosis?
My sentiments exactly. However, Stats just may be the ultimate opponent. Such a solid core to his play and ability to adapt and puzzle out the challenge he is facing. Calm and adaptive under fire... but apparently not quite adaptive enough.
I would put up some money for the prize pool for that showmatch.
@Brandon: I agree with you, but maybe more agression early on would be better to counter Serral (otherwise in late game he seems to be impossible to beat), and Maru is really good at that early/mid game pressure. Stats is more "prudent" compared to Maru.
@John: I would too !!!
@Dimitri Raymondo they actually have specific reasons for that, it is the way all of these things are done, serral won the normal circuit and maru won wcs Korea, so they get opposite brackets, just whats happens
I'm a Tekken player and the news about Serral has brought me here.
Dayum, that is the bomb
lmao im a csgo player and the same thing happened xD
dude as a csgo player i heard about a white guy winning against korea and I was shooketh
U SHOULD TRY SC2... TOO
U SHOULD TRY SC2...
One thing has to be said, which isn't nearly mentioned enough and that's how good the commentators are on all these events. It's one of the main reasons I like watching SC2 matches. These two guys cover the matches amazingly, are very funny to listen to, and give great insight for people like me who isn't an SC2 savant by any means. Great job guys and girls!
"Make some noise for STATSSSS!!!!!"
*Deafening silence occurs*
I know, its a shame cause he's a dope Protoss.
Very nice games! Go Finland!
Greetings from Russia! :)
lol you proud your cancer country?
@@theskyrees ?? He didn't even say he's proud of his country. Stop spreading hate
That's a signal Russia's going to invade Finland
Is that a veiled threat?
@@MrTweetyhack lol again...not since the winter war lol
watching in 2020. observing and commentators have done a great job!
Still such a great series to watch, months later.
years even
Coming back to this video and iNcontrol saying that he "can't wait for next year for SC2" hit me in the feels.
RIP
same here. I am still shocked that Incontrol passed away completely out of the blue. He was one of the most charismatic and nicest guys of the SC2 scene worldwide. A huge loss for the community. I loved his castings. my favourite SC2 caster.
I love the energy of the commentators, and I'm very impressed and what an epic match ggs!
Dam I can't believe this was already 5 yrs ago. Serral da god
GO ON FINLAND! GO ON SERRAL! SMART AND RESPECTFUL PEOPLE...I'M HAPPY THAT THIS KIND OF PEOPLE WIN
U sound racist
5 years ago "what happens next, does he keep winning?" Yes that is exactly what Serral kept doing
in 2017 when he almost won his first tournament, I had no doubts that Serral is different than anyone else in terms of perfection. He is the ultimative zergplayer. but it's not the race, it's his talent. he would be the ultimative terran or toss if that would be his races. Serral is the prove that SC2 is a game of player skills for about 90%. 9 % balance issues, and 1 % luck. about. look how Maru looks nowadays. like a schoolboy compared to Serral. but it is not a balance issue. Clem 7:0 ed Serral in the last pro-matches they had. 7:0 !
Life's win in 2014 convinced us that Zergs can win the big one, Sos' win in 2015 proved that it can be done more than once in a lifetime, Byun's win in 2016 made it clear that you can train and grow alone and take it all as a terran, Rogue's win in 2017 showed that when the time is right, you can seize the moment, and now, Serral's win has allowed a wave of hope and inspiration to take any non-Korean player by storm.
The History of Esports
"WHY ARE WE EXCITEDLY YELLING EVERYTHING!?"
"I DON'T KNOW!"
"WHY DO WE ANNOUNCE THE PLAYERS BEFORE EACH GAME?!"
"I DON'T KNOW!"
This was the best series of Starcraft that I've ever seen in my entire life.
nah
Seeing iNcontroL at end makes me so sad, he was alive half year ago...
Even now in 2021 I keep looking back at this game as a great example of classic pvz gameplay.
I only stumbled upon this video, it's been awhile since I've been into SC but this has reinvigorated my interest into the game. I grew up playing Starcraft 1 casually and it will always have a place in my heart. Now seeing a non-Korean win like this, with such beautiful gameplay, it's not just a big moment in Starcraft history but ESports in general. GG
really proud of Serral, he earned that win. you can tell the crowd just loved seeing that!
his autograph :DDDD
Lol I thought the same.. It only adds to the character :P
Only thing missing is him having his own crayons to write it with :DDD
5 years old autograph. What a disaster.
Well I bet he wasn't prepared for that. It's not like you sign anything with your game tag outside of autographs anyway.
@@vesanius1 You're absolutely right. It's still hilarious. :D
starcraft is by far the most difficult online multiplayer game out there respect to all who can play it like that
all those multitasking just wow
Gratz Serral and well played by Stats, both awesome!
Worth watching again after 2 years. What an incredible event this was.
They need to make a maru vs serral small championship. People would pay to see it.
Yea, everyone wants to see this. Sucks that it got spoiled twice. I still believe Maru has the style to beat Serral. Serral loves to sit back and macro. Maru loves to use early aggression to hurt the enemies and Maru has excellent timing and control with his attacks. Hoping soon we get to see these two juggernaut face each other on a big stage.
I want a series where they invite serral and a lot of other players, and everyone plays serral. The price pool is 100%, and everytime serral loses a map, a small amount goes to the one who took the map. At the end the money left goes to serral
A fan funded Maru vs Serral in a best of 7 or 9. That would be so awesome
One of the only eSports matches I come back to multiple times
Serral vs Alphastar pls
The last the game was, in the lightest description possible, HELLISHLY BRUTAL.
- Very conservative and not pushing his luck
- Picks apart army and economy where he can
- Deny's any harass and takes out options for harass
- Even though has slow, powerful units, he uses his fast units to his advantage to take expensive units from Stats
- Constantly thinking about his economy and saving up
AND very important that a lot of people seem to not be paying attention to
- He keeps upgrading to not only have the harass, army size, and economy advantage but the tech advantage as well!!!!
In-fkin-sane match. Honestly, if he retired here, I would be 100% okay with that at this point. This match made me so happy live and now when I replayed it. History is made. GG
zerg players are amazing, love watching these guys play, big respect
One of the greatest series in Starcraft history, and definitely one of the greatest moments of victory!
So humble of Serral. in start of that interview. To imagine I was once or twice his admin years ago on assembly asus rog, to see same guy suddenly kicking the living sh#t outta nation in their own game, no disrepect of course, there was time when finnish people were already super proud of themselves if they beat a korean only once. Man, still hard to believe... Awesome character!
This is the best commentary in any sports-thing ever.
I wonder if i ever will see a terran finalist... One can only dream.
Watch broodwar :p
TY (Terran) beat stats in the finals not to long ago. Go watch that & you will see a Terran finalist.
Byun won 2 years ago? :)
Byun won and they soon afterwards nerfed reapers 2 or 3 times. Maru was supposed to be the hope this year, but then he tries to proxy against his practice partner whom he could easily won in macro. Biggest disappointment of BlizzCon for me
@@mercurial4854 i thought so as well. I watched it on Twitch and i couldnt get it into my head why Maru kept on proxying despite sos hard countering him every time. He could have likely taken him if he had played a standard strategy.
It feels like just recently TotalBiscuit in ShoutCraftKings introduced a young man from Finland, making name in european ladder. Now he's a world champ, the one that dethroned Koreans. HAIL TO THE KING!
First times I see a nonkorean Starcraft player knocks out korea players in ZvZ and ZvP absolutely easily like the way Serral has done. I see he controls and manages the mineral perfectly and slowly push then crush his enemies softly. There is no pressure for Serral at all. Unbeatable Z player 👍
might be the first foreigner bonjhwa
The amount of unit balancing is hardcore in this game. Over the 20 years, having 3 races with so many unite types.
Seeing protoss main lose is very satisfying
the kimi raikkonen of starcraft, such a palate of emotions
i miss incontrol :(
Congratulate Serral this was a phenomenal Final! I love how you play! Wish you the best. Greetings from Austria :)
세랄이 압도적으로 존나 잘한다 틈이 전혀 없네
This is really one of the best matches ever in SC2. Classic and EPIC!
man i wanted to see maru vs serral
i wish i can regain that feeling of watching this for the first time
serral gooooooooooooooooo!!~~~~
from korea
OMG 2 Million views! I was so happy for Serral when I saw this live, after 2 years it still feels as epic as ever.
He is the best player undoubtedly
im so happy to see SC2 alive and well
that last game was pretty epic
That ending battle was truly epic, well suited for a championship.
Serral has average 350 APM throughout his games, and peaks 667 APM at times.... insane
And I have about 50...when I’m not eating x D
Peaks 667 in a normal game, if you look in the final match they show the APM for a few seconds and I kid you not it hits 1,007 with an avg of around 455.
That's like 17 actions per second how do you even
Dude, I can hit 1000 apm too for a good 4 seconds doing some rapid fire creep spread or building units.
It's not about apm, serral usually hovering around 400 but his epm is usually 50-100 more than other pros. so like 250-300 which is insane. that is not just holding down keys to make it go to like 1500 apm that's actual effective actions that are all different. and we also forget camera hotkeys don't count as apm so like these guys are probs average a lot higher actions than recorded. so yeah my dude no one can do 17 actions in one second that's not real lol. @@Tshaydin
@@shapevader9311 You can really see it in his army control. It looks almost like the googles AI controlling three armies simultaneously.
You people should've seen the ASUS ROG tournament. Stats' comeback against Serral was legendary.
what a game. Also, unreal that the next champion is from Finland, out of all the countries in the world. Finland has 5 million people. South korea has 50 million people. USA has 325 million people. Let that sink in..
@Cocoy Nohay that is a false conclusion, it's more to do with how few 'chances' a nation has at getting the best SC2 player, if every human has an equal chance of becoming the best SC2 player, than Finland is a very unlikely contender just statically speaking.
Keep in mind, Finns are well known to be die-hard fighters, ever heard about the Winter War? :D
@Cocoy Nohay american's aren't a race dumbass
Did anyone else not like how the announcers played up the Korean vs. Non-Korean players?
Much respect to both players for an amazing final.
That will change.
Its funny they call him the wrong name at the end. Keep calling him special not serral at the end commentary
Is it tho???
1:43:02 Perfect words from Geoff "Incontrol" about Serral back then, when he just become the best on the planet. Nobody could have found better words. The Starcraft community will miss Incontrol forever.
I have no idea how SC works but wow it is exciting!
You basically press all the buttons and hope the other guy gets annoyed by the mess faster than you.
Seriously, the units control in Starcraft is below retarded... it was ok in 1999, but 20 years later, it's just dumb.
