Never once in my life have I been rewarded for thinking "Well, Serral pulled it off." Not with build orders, not with that hat, never.
haha the trick is to take inspiration from one part of a pros play, not try and copy the whole picture 😉 - hence I add infestors every game where he skips them entirely
"not with that hat" lmao
For the one person interested Sforzando is a musical term, and it means "with force" - often used suddenly, as opposed a crescendo which takes time building force.
"making an effort".
Also a valid interpretation!@@WonderingWanderer88
is that what the forza series is named after?
@@ChristianSandviknesyou mean a valid translation?
@@davidrobles1360 Yes; except it's not purely translation considering there's different ways to play it
I love how pig says "They can beat a landed viking!!" xD
Just starting to watch, but I still remember when Stephano (or at least that's where I saw it first) actually started using Ultralisks regularly. You know, those old ones which still had bonus damage vs armored. They weren't very popular to say the least :D
holy crap i totally forgot they used to do bonus vs armoured, apparently they made it flat damage in December 2012, sick memory mate
"A permanent, uncontrollable stiffy" Bruh you can just say that, i choked on my bong rip and blew my water out the front! LMAO! Thank you for showing us this replay, I'm gonna add this to the arsenal I think.
Lmao hopefully it wasn't old stinky bong water that spilled
Very insightfull, Pig! I love the intro when you show the cinematic, it was an instant like on the video for me! Ultra`s has always been one of my favourite units!
Really cool to watch content where you focus on a specific unit!
I was just thinking this would make a great series
It's crazy how Serral is in its total different own league and can crush the best players worldwide. I don't think we had such a situation before.
Laughs in Flash
@@cultclassic-my6mo Brood War is a different game tho
that HoTS cinematic is literally my fav cinematic in any video game ever lol
at Plat, Ultras are your best friend, especially against Turtle Terrans who are like a scourge on the ladder.
Heck yeah, stampede of the space cows is pretty sick for breaking turtles
Ultralisks are the best hive tier counter to the protoss gateway teir sentry
I’ve been destroying enemy Zergs with my ultralisk rush. As long as I can keep their roaches busy with constant annoying zerglings runbying their 3rds, the Ultras then proceed to just run over their roaches (or god forbid, lingbling) and then beeline straight for the enemy base before they can mount a proper response.
It’s not like Zerg have any kind of easy build hard counter to ultras like immortals, tanks or liberators either. If they happen to have lurkers? A few blinding clouds will render them null and void! (I’ll have hive tech anyways…)
heck yeah, Ultras are god tier in ZvZ if you can make it to them. As you point out the viper blinding cloud addition means unless they get a massive amount of well spread lurkers ultras will still overwhelm
I think being a "Massive unit" they should be able to step over units like colossi. That's my oooonly issue with them.
This is a thicc units only strat, roaches ravagers infestors queens ultras, it’s so glorious and easy to remember: if you’re not building thicc units then just build more of them
I like this style of video, please make more of these!!!
I don't know why zergs turned away from infestors and fungal. It was nerfed compared to WoL where it was OP (fungal now a missile instead of instant, slows rather than freezes units) but it's still really good. It always stopped medivac pickups, it made banes 100 times more effective because the marines couldn't stim and run off, etc. It was like "Well it's not totally OP any more so we just won't use it at all".
because you cast one fungal and now you have a useless unit. Or you don't and it just dies. Ghosts can still shoot with no energy and templar can morph into archons
I remember seeing a broodwar version of this build in the mystery map invitational and I was obsessed with it for a while.
I suggest doing a challenge its 5 ultralisks in 5 minutes, meaning you have to have them stewing in the eggs. This way you can understand timings of the buildings to some intuitive ease, I posted this as a challenge to Uthermal in my endless nonsense rants. SO... it is possible. I thin yo uahve about 24 seconds of movement, and it takes some microing of the system and timings and upgrades. The main thing is getting fast lair and hive. Microing back and forth, and producing workers and not producing workers and saving money... to tech, If you want a 7-8 minute, tripple hatch is fine into roaches... its pretty easyot max with roaches by 8 minutes if you haven't had any super losses. If its 4.. just have ot save your vespene, but if you know a player is bio "based" then early utlras punish them, so hard, early bio and tanks , so much of their dps is consumed into the ultras. so often works as a win win, its like a z verse z and you ahve to defend spine crawler rush with spine crawlers.. kind of have ot mirror them because the hp pool is too high for what you can produce early as a zerg.. and you will end up losing all your mobile attack units while tehy flood in with theres.
This was such an upbeat and helpful video ty for the upload!
Everytime I did extractor tricks in NA and EU cups and somebody was streaming it, they always said I was old and used wol tactics lol(they were party right I might add) . Well not that I invented such a build as Serral but it is still funny 🤣👍 I have seen more zergs using it as of late with both Scarlett and Dark going full neo starcraft haha
I love how pig 🐽 plays and shows the power of infestors. Very didactic replay
You can do +2 melee +1 carapace with adrenal glands because terran prioritizes to attack ultras which enable lings to wipe all the army
Quiet, you. I need people to keep thinking Ultras are bad. I don't need them nerfed now. It would also be less cool to use them if most other zergs were using them too. That would make my opponents more likely to counter them.
Regarding baneling nerf, I honestly can't even tell the difference at my level (D3). They seem about as good as ever. Maybe it sucks in leagues where people can consistently locate their keyboard though, glad I will never get there.
😂
Whoever microed that Viking in the cutscene needs to be fired
This opening replaced my standard 16hatch 17hatch openings since Serral started playing it.
Cant wait to try this in my Silver placements.
Pig had me at “they can beat a landed Viking”
Not many can defeat Ragnar Lothbrok….
sick gameplay, nice commentary
I'm around d3 with zerg and I make them to beat carriers. I mean.. with +3 carapace they just laugh at carriers while it guts them. For best results, don't wait to make ultras until you see 12 carriers. Make corruptors ffs. Then if you don't die after the first trade make like 3 ultras and a-move them at a base. *DISCLAIMER* This requires TWO control groups :p
As a toss I agree Carriers can't do anything against ultras. I usually go DTs and have the carriers snipe the detection.
5:00-6:00, lakcing macro control, and checks, I suggest listening ot music to keep a beat timing. Third hatchery doesn't need ot be full, but you have too many minerals for to long. In a minute, a drone can pay for itself, meaning, that because you have, 140 minerals plus for over a minute, it means you missed out on getting that money, back which is from some indecisviness... If you don't know what to build. Build a drone..., then build a drone... then build a drone, if you need a specific ammoutn hover that ammount ,but if you know your income, then you cna gauge your timing intutively better, meaing stop thinking so mechanically and play the game wit ha general goal in mind, too much cloud is in the head, not enough, just simpel part of the game, production managemetn game, so thats all yo uavhe to do is manage and have a goal. Mineral saturation gas saturation. need like 1200 gas. If you know your gas per minute, you can weave in roaches. I probably would go, Roach roach, drone, roach roach drone. Howev,eri f you ahve vision and your enemy is terran and they are not going ot push you do a mass drone push, and larva... and even better is sometimes you make a macro hatch to pus hout larva faster, which is realyl useful.. 300 minuerals is nothing since your drones can pay it back if they work harder, but tpyically you jsut expand, unless you know somethign is about, or your behind slightly a macro hatch can really save the day, IE your expands keep dieing will effect larva pool total. So macro hatch is needed.
YOur Ravager morph was out of place with your army. Meaning there was no reason to move forward at that point, it was a little hick up and didn't weave in ravagers at a moment, meaning if you had a few... the marines would get stuck out in teh choke point, Also I hate that you hid you evo out back, it can screw you over with terran, its okay to put it forward and make choke points against terran... Losing a upgrade timing is terrible, but if the evo allows you to trade out better and keep more units alive, typically worth it, as the dps at taht moment scales higher and yo9u cna jsut research it again.... depedning on lots of things... the queens were a little un micro'd and the creep spread wasn't that good.. If you suck at creep spread, if you do this build micro your overlords to poop out creep, even from their towers. THen move your queens further into the creep to lay tumours you will get more coverage faster of an area... thats if yo ucan sacrfice that kind of apm.
so again... 7:07... - 12 drones worth taht can pay for themselves in about a minute, if made and working... wit hte ammoutn of minerals. The gas is no where near enough for ultras... so... if I was saving for mutas or ultras, I would have a gas goal... judging by the mineral income, I would the nstart saving so the gas goal and mineral goal hit about the same time, and then bam as zerg... making babies...
Just annoys me seeing any large volume of minerals with no purpose in teh early game... Yes zerg can react wit hteh moeny to an instant defence, but shoudl still always be producing a drone... bulwark of the whole zerg system, of buildings and what not... hmm
While his macro may not have been perfect. Next time make a point and finish nobody reading that whole essay especially with so many typos.
you da man PiG
How does this stay safe vs a 2-1-1 opener? In your example game, you just hold vs a 3 rax stim push, but a 2-1-1 would hit earlier, and you're only overseer scouting around 5:00.
i think this rumor is because (i belive ) serral said it ... or someone else (or was it winter) i dont know ... some big name in sc2
Could you skip the 3rd and 4th queen, go for the 3rd hatch, and an ovie, and make queens after?
sfoRzanDo sounds like "esforzando" in Spanish. Which is the "gerundio" (like present continuous verbal time) for "esforzar" = to make an effort. I'd say it's like "maKin'n_effoRt".
for the algorithm
great vid
nice vid pig. unlike pro games this actually made me want to go play sc2
Zerg also has much cheaper earlier banes. You can drop them burrow them. Ultras are a fetish.
the ultra took a siege tank shot and walked it off
Notice that in this clip, we say 2-3 ultras in total. Not 20-30. There's a reason for that.
Please can someone explain me about mineral stacking?is it still need to do nowadays?i'm just completely beginner .in pig's old video i saw him saying that to do , so please
You get slightly better income if you stack two workers on each mineral patch. More if you prioritise the patches that are slightly closer to the base. Sometimes they naturally sit with three workers on a patch, or bounce around between patches, which is less efficient.
However, it takes APM, so unless you're a god you'll probably do more damage trying to do it on anything after the first base. There are plenty of GM players that don't do it, so absolutely not necessary. If you find it interesting, then do it, but make sure you aren't delaying other actions.
@@pigeonwrench8476 Thanks for help, then I gonna prioritize other things first to start.
S for Zando!!!! Also yay Ultras :D
This might be a dumb question, but how do you play with those sick looking zerg skins?
You have to buy them -> Collection -> Skins
Same thing as the terran player who blind tp's his first bc into 3 queens and a spore and doesn't notice until it's dead, right? No unit is perfect outside of a vacuum, and melee units require more setup than most?
Bring big ultras back, and let them step over smaller units like collassey come on! Do it pig! i know you are in control of all the balance patches!
"They ignore siege tank shots" well I must be using something different then ;(
I mean are ultras are now ridiculously strong lol, no wonder
this is the beginning of people complaining about how op ultras are
'Destroyed'? Looks more like Serral broke up Maru's army with help of the 4 Ultras, Maru retreated a bit, killed the Ultras and pushed back again.
The ultra is slow, expensive and gets twoshotted by ghosts. That Serral can use it like this, doesn´t mean that a normal human beign can use it in ladder.
4 Snipes from ghosts. Ghosts are a lategame unit, and if they take any damage during snipe it gets cancelled. Most players below pro level struggle to use ghosts effectively.
Add to this the fact that the whole point of the build is to rush ultras well before the enemy has ghosts out
@@PiGstarcraft Will give it a try, but a lowly plat noob like me, will end up in gold or worse, playing League of Legends.
Pig don't tell anybody about ultralisk or it is getting nerfed :(
Terran one shots it. Too expensive for a one shot unit. Its only good as a surprise. prefer brood lords or swarm hosts. At least i can get to the ghost.
How? They take 3 snipes or even 3 Yamato. They survive a nuke as well.
this is how nerchio used to play and dark vs bomber ; ravager fungal to mass ultras
I personally think you are more just showing how broken infestors are. The were busted before the patch and now they are more so. That being said ultras have always been good if you can get to the units and again busted infesters can make that happen in all situations.
