100% 2bh. After watching a winter commentary- I always appreciate Lowko more. WInter saying "like and subscribe" and just trying a bit too hard- bless him.
Serral not having any units that can shoot up for the entirety of game 2 I think is the issue. The Zerg ball just couldn't compete without at _least_ some Ravagers or Hydras around once Terran had 8+ liberators on the map.
@@tomhe286 still is, tbh. Rogue, Dark and even Shin are taking series off Clem right now while. Serral is just suffering to Clem specifically because Serral is a very defensive player, and it allows Clem to control the pacing - something you CANNOT let Clem do. Clem struggles more with the other Zergs because they send more counter attacks and do more random, unpredictable shit. Serral just relies on the predictable stuff because he was so insanely good at it.
@@Elgar7022That’s because Clem’s specialized his playstyle to beat Serral. This happens relatively frequently-pros spec into killing Serral and start losing to anything different.
If serral is just way better than all the other players, then let's just nerf his race until the worse players from other races are able to beat him. What a brilliant idea!
I think it's exciting how we see new changes to the game this often, as long as the title is accurate I don't see any harm in the repetitivenes of them
@@simonlindstrom2041 What new changes?? The games are EXACTLY the same as in 2017. Terran running into a hatch, boosting away when he's surrounded and then repeating this 4329123234 times all over the map. When I see titles like these it looks like the diehards are starting to tell themselves delusions to convince themselves the game is worth something and not just wasting their time.
I'm a zerg player and that isn't the solution. The zerg swarm comes from being able to make 200 supply of units at once via larva (provided you do your injects).
I feel at this point, Terran medevac+marine+marauder+ghost is more mobile than the zerg, wich trait is mobility, and clem is just exploiting it. There is no way to catch up to that medevac without going down a transition that both sucks, and is easily countered. The dash ability is on the only zerg fighting unit that shoots up(queens have a different role). Dash should be at least double the distance, and also contain a significant dps buff for some seconds. Since the zerg lategame army is pointless now, while terran have a steady improvement across the game, zerg mid game army should have traits that lets them fight properly
Lowko didnt see it but Clem sent his reaper over to the creep tumor after it went "invis" to have the firecars(brain not working) target the reaper to destroy it. nuts @4:51
5:40 We need unselectable map critters on maps with a lava mechanic for flooding low-ground at ten minutes in (all base locations on high ground obv). Am I evil? Yes quite possibly.
i think a key difference in game 1 and 2 are the hydras. Game 2 Serral had no answer against all the air support until the very end he added 2 vipers or so, the queens have been fighting the bio force most of the time.
Clem was really just doing a 200 IQ play in asking for ghosts to be nerfed and saying he was worried about protoss early game he secretly wanted protoss to be more viable so he wouldn't have to play TvT!
Seeing a player playing flawlessly and still loosing because of one race is better than other is mind boggling. Specially when you consider that Zergs were nerfed because of Serral. Imagine being punished for being too good.
Zerg's problem is that it's only late tier ultimate units, the Brood Lords and Ultralisks, are only anti ground, whereas Terran Battlecruisers and Ghosts, and Protoss Mothership and Capital ships. Yeah no wonder they're good for nothing.
1. terran doesn't build battlecruisers in high level lategame 1v1s ever 2. corruptors are still used and still useful in the lategame for countering enemy air units. Just don't morph all your corruptors into broods. honestly the real problem for zerg is that all their lategame units that counter the marine marauder deathball - ultras, all their spellcasters - are countered by ghosts, and everything else they have can't deal with a stutter stepping death ball supported by liberators. so terran controls the game the moment stim comes online, and as long as they can move across the map at that point and force the issue, zerg simply can NOT win a fight vs marines until they have infestors. and then terran will have their dream lategame comp. that's assuming terran doesn't just auto win the game off their army advantage, which lately is exactly what they've been doing. So you either make it to infestors land a dream fungal, or terran just marches across your face. dealing with liberators mostly comes down to running over them with corruptors or having so many extra vipers lying around that you can just abduct them out of their siege, but if all your vipers are getting knocked out of the sky by ghosts or you overinvest in corruptors, you'll still lose.
One that not broodlords please... The time when broodlords would slowly fly across the map with and army of spores crawling underneath was mind numbing
Unfortunately a lot of this game has been hail Mary hoping for a big hit on something. A big fungal, bug widow mine hit, big stasis ward etc. they're all things that just shift the balance of a fight so much that it's not fun to watch when that's the only way to win in some cases
I long for unorthodox maps with strange map layouts, like, a plain field without any slope, mountain or debris. Just bushes. Or jungle maps with loads of bushes. Or maps with minerals spread around randomly. These maps are all the same, with symmetrical map layouts. With new map layouts, the game will be forced to change drastically.
I agree more unusual map designs would be nice, but the difficulty is designing those maps where one side does not have an inordinate advantage based on where they spawn. Also, the pros tend to like consistency (it's easier to practice and strategize) and often veto the quirkier maps anyway in map pools and so quirky maps just never get played even when they make it into a new map pool.
i would already settle for something like a base that isnt put on the exact same high ground, with the exact same dead space for air units to annoy you behind it, for once.
Exploding Banelings should make the area acidic and deal a certain dps. It's too disadvantageous that an aoe is only a one time use when it cost that much.
@@MrNembhard ok then if you want to make the unit of both race be exactly the same you can also add friendly fire to banelings... yes every unit has its pros and cons, and it's easy to find something OP when only focusing on the pros and none of the cons
Serral in the first game: killing workers with lurkers, destroying bases, pushing Clem from every direction. Lowko: it's an uphill battle for Serral No, from 19:55 I don't think that was an uphill battle for Serral, more like Clem was fighting for his life.
I am so confused! I don't know who I am watching without a greeting at the start! XD Honestly tho the "Helloooo everyone, my name is Lowkoooo" is such an iconic bit that never ceases to make me smile Lowko. ^^ You're great.
Feels the only solutions for Zerg late game are the spell casters. A huge fungo, neuroparasite,... Some tricky from the hat in a crucial moment. And this is even for Serral soooo hard to achieve.
Why Zerg cannot do a "spore wall": if the adversary was a Protos or another Zerg, you can deny them vision so they dont siege them. But with Terran, using that building that makes SCVs, give suply and generates free farming units, they can get free vision and your only way to prevent it is, actually, winning the game.
29:14 maybe stupid question, considering how many games i have watched, but why didnt the first emp on the infestor remove its energy? Are they protected against emp while burrowed? Until now, i didnt think so. Or dosent one emp remove enough energy from a full infestor to prevent it from casting fungle? Because it did take damage, so something must have hit it.
game 1: Zerg wins because the player bought Hydralisk (range+air dmg) game 2: zerg loste because no air defense, no range. DO SOMETHING ELSE beside marines-medivac & ling bane....
Balance council: Serrals the world champ and keeps winning, we need to nerf zerg! Also BC: Clem is the world champ and keeps winning, lets keep terran as is. The fact that game one was so close while T had half the workers for more than 10 minutes is crazy, the zerg army just cant compete late game, all they can do is run away and look for unguarded bases.
Completely missing the fact that Clem had a clear advantage for more than half and just one fungal snowballed to his defeat. Seriously, you people are just hooligans of a faction. Completely unable of the smallest capability to attempt an impartial analysis. It's astounding.
I feel like Serral should try countering drops with static defense, like the current state of zerg defense is just using your army but I think there's potential in leaving 2/3 spines in each base to protect it from drops, 4 zerglings are worth 100 minerals wich is one spine crawler. spines have more utility and can take down or damage a few marines with no micro while being able to get transfused.
Why aren't widow mines just one shot? Given thier cost and damage output compared to other units, i.e baneling, it seems unreasonable they can stay alive even with a cool down.
Probably a causal question, but why do players not take bases further out on the map a little earlier and transfer workers from their safer locations to get resources while they can and finish off their other bases later? Does the defense just crumble im assuming?
Hydras were actually pivotal. Using lunge defensively to keep the hydras alive, allowing Serral to trade well against mine/medivac/libs, which Serral was missing in game 2. Fungals were on point too in game 1. But Clem is just relentless. Peak TvZ
Nice replay as usual, thanks Lowko for sharing. 1 win Zerg, 1 win Terran - equality, where is the third match? i haven t see any commentary below about it.
I like how we're like 10 years into gameheart being released and used everywhere yet they still haven't figured out how to get the players profile portraits next to the names in the overlay.
My thoughts to make Ultras more viable Give them the old immortal ability so they take a capped amount of damage per hit. Reduce spell damage they take. Increase cost to compensate for those massive buffs Makes them the super tanks they need to be
-less damage taken from anything that hits them from the front. so they can actually get into melee before being mowed down -or just buff their armor to something ridiculous, like 8 base armor -nerf snipe already
Who would think that making a flying medic mixed with a drop ship, equiped with nitro, while Terran infantry walk faster on unlimited drug use, capable of insta loading into the said ambulance, while so having a troop capable of slowing units down would be a bad idea? Also, having another unit capable of snipping, invisible AOE energy and shield denial, turning invisible AND wiping everything on map with a nuke would be bad as well?
The moment you commented the backround planet on Amygdala and confessed your science fiction appreciaton got me thinking about recommandating you a book. Hyperion by Dan Simmons, in case you have not read it yet, I think you should look it up. ☺️
Serral is like that OP characted from the beginning of an anime that suddenly feels like a pushover but it's not because he became weak it's because the others managed to put MASSIVE GAINS IN THEIR SKILL!!! 👀
Units that can shoot air units terran vikings cyclone marine battlecruiser liberator ghost. Protoss stalker phoenix carrier tempest mothership. Zerg hydra muta corruptor ravager if you count ravager since its only biles. Many of the protos and terran units that can shoot air can also shoot ground why cant zerg units do that? If ravagers could also shoot air with their basic attack that would make the game a lot more balanced imo I might be very wrong about that too but still I think zergs antiair is very much lacking...Like corruptor vs viking viking can also land and attack ground what can corruptors do puke buildings yeeei. Oh yeah queen but that doesent usually help unless zerg is defending. Maybe make it so quens can morph into an specialised anti air unit that can also shoot ground idk but I still think zerg needs something for antiair what do you guys think?
Zerg just needs an antiair unit against protoss and terran there is just nothing you can do against the air units... my solution would be roach or hydra could morph into an antiair unit but thats never going to happen.
Every Serral vs Clem game we have seen lately that has a Serral win is because of infestors. I feel like he should just have infestors asap to deal with terran bio. Once bio is fungaled the lings and banes connect.
You're talking as if Clem doesn't know this and isn't prepared for Serral's infestors... If it was that easy Serral would have continued to do it, however more often than not his infestors against Clem specifically simply get shut down before getting any value.
@Owlr4ider I don't mean late game infestors that are burrowed waiting for the perfect fungal. I just mean mid game fungal with infestors near the base with ling bane, long before ghosts are out. We saw him do this at HSC when he did beat Clem.
@@andrunouchi In that case going infestors on lair tech means delaying hive by a significant margin. Which in turn means delaying vipers and adrenal glands, and any possible late game transition like the lurker upgrades or even broodlords. Oh yeah and 3/3 too, which Zerg is already behind the Terran due to needing a hive in the first place. It's a terrible plan as a go-to strategy, it can work here and there but not as your default.
@@andrunouchi Yes, it's precisely because he only pulls that strategy off rarely that it actually works. If he was to do it every game Clem would simply expect it and adapt to it and it would simply stop working. It's the surprise factor of this tactic that makes it work, not its power. As its negatives are very significant as I mentioned above, and are incredibly easy to exploit if you see it coming.
What if, queens could place a tumor on a drone, infecting it, drones move speed drops dramatically but it spreads creep in a small radius on the move leaving a creep trail that lasts XX seconds. Would create a path of creep following the main army for quicker reinforcements.

If zerg is swarm, how about an endgame upgrade increasing maximum unit capacity to 220?

Of course El Dorado favors terran. The entire army flies around in medivacs constantky and they can float their buildings
Yeah but Zerg units are faster, have nydus worms and can mine through the walls. I don't think it's that big of an issue.
I love Lowko's commentary, great energy, positive vibes.I also like uThermal's commentary, even though he only does his own. Great personality!
Would it be super imbalanced if we just gave Zerg a higher supply cap?
Would be cool to have an upgrade that makes drones like zerglings, 2 per egg, 0.5 supply. Would have to be pretty expensive though.
Seeing a player playing flawlessly and still loosing because of one race is better than other is mind boggling.

Says a lot.
Only way to win ZvsT is to go through a painful 30 minute game without making mistakes. You make one, then T stomps you early.

15:24 No comment on the E-wok party going on?
great games! great series!
Excellent games serral v Clem yes yes but listen, the way he just could NOT get over croco-bro killed me 🤣
That’s definitely a Frogodile
allow spine and spore crawlers to be transported by overlords! So they can drop crawlers and spew creep for them to settle
I wonder how much early win rates on new maps got skewed by the Cyclone bug.
Really cool games from the top of the top! I'm just confused about the title of the video?
Guess with the small sample size, the ELO adjusted winrate would've been more telling.
0:22 No Lowko, this is red
Wait, no, it's blood!
That was Roco the Croco
Marines getting pulled by Medivacs instantaneous yet Liberators need around 1.2 seconds of delay to setup is confusing.
5:38 Elcor (Mass Effect) mated with a Bullsquid (Half-Life).
But whats the Terran win rate in TvT? 2:20
Just incase some people don’t get it, I am joking
Love bio vs ling/bane - feels so Starcraft
Terran still imba with a fantastic terran map pool? wow, shocked face.
Crocobro is the star of the match. It rolls!
Serral is like that OP characted from the beginning of an anime that suddenly feels like a pushover
but it's not because he became weak
it's because the others managed to put MASSIVE GAINS IN THEIR SKILL!!! 👀
Others? It's just Clem that has his number; Serral still curb stomps everyone else.
@@HaploBartow where there's one, there will be others. remember Toguro 😀
@@HaploBartow and I am pretty sure Maru, Reynor and MaxPax are up there too.
@@ErenisRanitos Serral regularly wins against MaxPax and Reynor when they play. Maru hasn't won more than a couple of maps against Serral in years.
How come i haven't seen any zergling or hydraliks use burrow ability
Has to be researched.
How about a Brocroclipse in honour of person that made the map Eclipse for the little guy
are those 2 players considered good in the starcraft 2 game?
Units that can shoot air units terran vikings cyclone marine battlecruiser liberator ghost. Protoss stalker phoenix carrier tempest mothership. Zerg hydra muta corruptor ravager if you count ravager since its only biles. Many of the protos and terran units that can shoot air can also shoot ground why cant zerg units do that? If ravagers could also shoot air with their basic attack that would make the game a lot more balanced imo I might be very wrong about that too but still I think zergs antiair is very much lacking...Like corruptor vs viking viking can also land and attack ground what can corruptors do puke buildings yeeei. Oh yeah queen but that doesent usually help unless zerg is defending. Maybe make it so quens can morph into an specialised anti air unit that can also shoot ground idk but I still think zerg needs something for antiair what do you guys think?
Zerg just needs an antiair unit against protoss and terran there is just nothing you can do against the air units... my solution would be roach or hydra could morph into an antiair unit but thats never going to happen.
Corruptors should be able to shoot ground too. I said what I said lol
Every Serral vs Clem game we have seen lately that has a Serral win is because of infestors. I feel like he should just have infestors asap to deal with terran bio. Once bio is fungaled the lings and banes connect.
You're talking as if Clem doesn't know this and isn't prepared for Serral's infestors... If it was that easy Serral would have continued to do it, however more often than not his infestors against Clem specifically simply get shut down before getting any value.
@Owlr4ider I don't mean late game infestors that are burrowed waiting for the perfect fungal. I just mean mid game fungal with infestors near the base with ling bane, long before ghosts are out. We saw him do this at HSC when he did beat Clem.
@@andrunouchi In that case going infestors on lair tech means delaying hive by a significant margin. Which in turn means delaying vipers and adrenal glands, and any possible late game transition like the lurker upgrades or even broodlords. Oh yeah and 3/3 too, which Zerg is already behind the Terran due to needing a hive in the first place. It's a terrible plan as a go-to strategy, it can work here and there but not as your default.
@Owlr4ider I'm just saying every time Serral did it against Clem he won
@@andrunouchi Yes, it's precisely because he only pulls that strategy off rarely that it actually works. If he was to do it every game Clem would simply expect it and adapt to it and it would simply stop working. It's the surprise factor of this tactic that makes it work, not its power. As its negatives are very significant as I mentioned above, and are incredibly easy to exploit if you see it coming.
What if, queens could place a tumor on a drone, infecting it, drones move speed drops dramatically but it spreads creep in a small radius on the move leaving a creep trail that lasts XX seconds. Would create a path of creep following the main army for quicker reinforcements.
