@@leonardovegaolmedo5483 that's just starcraft 2. Zerg has had good years like every other race. But rn things are more balanced compared to the madness of previous seasons. I don't think the ghosts are comparable to old swarm host, the void ray meta, or the 2 time the infestor was broken. So all in all, I think it's fine. Even if I do hope ghosts get nerfed, it's better now than it was before.
@@MarlonSolisFallas It is hard enough keeping track of the action when four pro players do a 2v2, let alone 8 in a 4v4. If you can do 2v2 archon mode with 8 players, that would be siiick.
One of the best games ever played was the serral vs showtime a couple of years ago, in which the whole map was mined out, both players were broke, traded bases and in the end had a clash of carriers vs infestors
Serral just continues to prove how incredibly flexible and creative he is. It is truly impressive. Both of these players are incredible. Thanks for the video, Lowko. ❤
I loved so bad watching Serral play Protoss. That was so unexpected and a dream come true all at the same time. Great series and nice casting as always Lowko! 🙌🏻
2:10 damn i must feel privileged Several years ago I witnessed a 2v2 match (T+P vs T+P), Serral and Big Gabe iirc played against Clem and Reynor, where Serral and Reynor both picked protoss Also a couple of times I saw Harstem playing against ShowTime's zerg, must've been on stream or in some of BGWSS or CHEESIEST MAN ALIVE series
Serral is a national asset, like any sports star. Suspect he served/trained as a "sport-soldier", geting the basics military skills and time to practice your sport. He rented a office close to the barracks to be able to play.
There’s many careers that are ended due to this ancient practice that small weak countries have to do to remain sovereign. It’s sad that he was born in a weak country but nice they didn’t end his career because of it. Yes he probably got special treatment to keep practicing. This is just.
1.) Get hooked on Lowko videos. 2.) Get motivated to get back into starcraft after watching lowko breaking down pro play. 3.) Play starcraft. 4.) Wonder why you don't have your ~18th nexus at the 6 min mark like the pro's. 5.) Get absolutely crapped on in bronze league. 6.) Go back to just watching Lowko videos.
we all know that second match was just Serral either trying to have fun with swarm hosts, or making a point that even when way ahead the unit is trash and needs to be changed, I don't agree with all the praise showtime received in the second match
Choosing to attack before the first swarm host wave was able to launch at his base was the absolute correct call. Even if it was a risky move. If he had stayed back the locusts would have done a lot of work. I think it was the call the won him the game for sure.
@@killacorn1 If Serral was serious, he wouldn't make the swarmshosts. He'd just continue with roach ravagers, or baneling flood, just flood with basic units and he'd already win. He was just memeing with the swarmhosts.
showtime was like "you gave us nightwish but we gave you rammstein so please lets switch races for the first game" ... serral: "yeah sounds reasonable"
Shield Battery really needs to be played more by pros. Protoss is certainly strong early and needs to be very cheesy. The only games we ever see Protoss win are games where they keep pulling rabbits out of a hat. Serral uses mass Adepts which is not the "Normal build". And he hits hard, and early. We don't really see Protoss lose early games. I want to see if he does it a few more times and go into late game...THEN we see if Protoss in hand of Serral really is strong or not.
As soon as Serral saw the queen march, he could have sent the oracles to smash the workers again with no/limited defense. Let me know if you want any other pro tips, Serral. feel free to dm
swarm hosts need a buff......infestors need a very mild buff, queens attack needs a slight nerf, lurkers need nerfed......terran ghosts snipe needs slightly nerfed.....protoss psi storm needs buff......I think queens need to be consider light instead of armor units so that an adept attack forces zerg to actually have to build an army to deal with them......disruptors range needs slightly increased and their timers decrease a bit to make it easier to hit with them.....void rays need slight buff as well.
I finally got premium haha worth every cent!!! You really are a great caster and have interesting matches so fun watching serral play toss! I finally got diamond and makes me understand how bad I am hehehe 😮😮😮
So I’m stationed in Korea and anytime I ask any of the Korean soldiers about star craft that look at me like I’m crazy and just bring up league of legends. 😭 I have yet to go to an event, but I’m trying to find one to attend.
Seems like the smart thing with mandatory military service would be to use pro gamers in intelligence or surveillance roles after boot camp. Marching and guarding stuff is a waste of assets.
Pro gamer and intelligence can be very far apart in terms of "duties" if you will. Surveillance as in forward observer? is way off. The whole point of the military is no one is special, anyway. You follow orders and do your job
It started with not doing your classic intro, but now you are mentioning 69 workers and then use the word "nice" with no echo effect. That is too mature for my taste. Remember your roots, Lowko.
Oh snap Serral’s op macro and micro on the most op race. Protoss is broken. They are just tanks at every position. Even a blind baboon with terrible micro can do great with Protoss with a carriers, blinks, archons and disrupters a click to the main. LOL 😅. For people that think the probe is not op it can build 50 buildings at a time with one unit. WTF. Heck drones can only build one building the ENTIRE game. Best not build the wrong building out of order.
Serral’s plan is to get Protoss nerfed, then Terran, then he will go back to playing Zerg
😂❤
Wouldn't be surprised man, 5d chess is his thing
Die Serral! Zerg bugs me out.
He should seriously switch to Terran for a while. Show the balance council that nerfing his race just so he loses just bites everyone in the ass.
lurkers need to be nerfed a bit, either that or buff psi storm a bit that way they can be a bit more of a deadly counter to lurkers.
You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the protoss, not join them.
The Force is strong with this one.
Feel like protoss is closer to jedi then zerg zergs more sith tbh.
I feel like he has destroyed the protoss enough times already
@@dope4500 more like terran is sith, zerg is Jedi, and protoss are the gungans.
😂 poor gungans
“ queens can no longer transfuse off creep as of a few patches ago” you saying that actually had me like this an old video? Hilarious lowko
he's trying to stop zerg from being nerfed
Zerg has already been nerfed to the ground, probably terran is gonna get a nerf.
If he came back as Terran they would have just shut down the servers
@@leonardovegaolmedo5483 skill issue
@@Sir_Bucket maybe, but this year has been pretty terran dominant, even Reynor complained that the zvp lategame was imba

It was TSL9 or 10

Thanks for the video, Lowko. ❤
I thought Serral generally plays a very solid standard game with few cheeses or innovations?
No they're not, my cousin Bob could beat them easly
"Only prime number or even number of gates allowed". So only 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. So just not 1, 9, or 15
That is one of my favorite lowko classics
0:15 damn serral is protoss im excited، we gonna learn new strategies
Wow, the last StarCraft video I saw was serral dominating like usual. Didn’t even know he was gone, guess it’s a good time to watch sc2 again!
Some milk with my serial please
@@AngeloEngilis wrong cereal lol
@@jamyorday you're not supposed to fix it now I look like a crazy person lmao
54:58 me and the boys coming home from the pub
NO WAY! SERRAL PLAYING OTHER UNIT THAN ZERG IS MY DREAM COME TRUE! WOULD LIKE IT TO BE THE TERRANS BUT 1 STEP AT A TIME!
He has offraced in the past; he won a national championship in Finland with his Protoss
So cool to know@@enriquegarciacota3914
Saw Serrals name, clicked right away lol
That has to be rule #1 for posting SC2 videos. If Serral is playing, put his name in the title.
Same to me...really miss serral playing
Same here
Best random player: Flash
hyped for the full-time return of Serral.
I loved so bad watching Serral play Protoss. That was so unexpected and a dream come true all at the same time. Great series and nice casting as always Lowko! 🙌🏻
StarCraft 2 is beautiful in 4K@60 FPS. Lowko is one of greatest replay casters of all time! Love to watch this.

Well this is going to be interesting.
These two are amazingly skillful and prescient !
I'm glad we have this agreement. You say Serral, I click Like.
Amazing video, i enjoyed it thoroughly, thank you Lowko! :D
I’m calling out the next evolution of Zerg players being the addition of swarm host in droperlords
How would that be good? Swarm hosts on ground are basically as fast as speed dropperlords
Wow very well done both of them , and also great cast
@37:00 Lol calling a pentagon inside of an octagon a hexagon! 😂
Thanks for casting! ^^
I was so starwed for serral games oh god finally
"Hydra corruptor, the best unit comp in the game." Wat? Great cast all the same.
1.) Get hooked on Lowko videos.
2.) Get motivated to get back into starcraft after watching lowko breaking down pro play.

14:40 yeah if you manage to lose an archon to a basic unit, something's wrong.
26:46 lowko, 7 is a prime number :P
That game 1 kinda showed why Zerg is the hardest race to play. Losing 10 drones for nothing due to a small mispositioning. Zerg has no room for error
Hahahhah Serral protoss Showtime Zerg, amazing XD
Man, i've been watching starcraft replays so long that I remember when boxxer was considered the best player of all time.

"Serral is very quick to reproduce here" 💀
He finished the Zerg multiplayer campaign and now started Protoss one.
31:01 lowko needs to calm the fuck down 😂
I only saw the first 30 seconds and though “this should be fun”
I hope the balance council can slightly tune up locusts movement speed a little bit in the next patch.
Imagine if Serral showed up in an offline tournament, but instead of a prius he steps out of an APC in military uniform LMAO
the king is back
It would have been fun to cast the first game and not mention the race-switch until the end.
Lowko did the math again... "hexagon" LOL
Serral is evolving!
Clem made Serral rethink about Zerg 😂
hmmm, I get it now. Overlords fly by fart.
that means.... them spreading creep is.... :(

Hi @LowkoTV where can I find a schedule of tournaments or which matches are going to take place in the near future?
a species is a biological classification based on the ability to interbreed, while race is a social construct based on physical similarities
So you're saying we should use the term "breed" instead.
Queens look pretty breedable to me
36:50 That is a pentagon
serral playing protoss! wow
Best RANDOM is FLASH.
As soon as Serral saw the queen march, he could have sent the oracles to smash the workers again with no/limited defense.

Would love to see Serral switch to protoss.
"The protoss army is yooch!"
WHAT!?!?!??!!?!??! I HAD TO RE READ 3 TIMES THE TITLE
Imagine a world without aggressive autocratic dictators as geopolitical neighbors...

Serral is my idol in this game. If he would be general in Finnish army then in 2025 Finland would conquer whole world.
Huh? Serral on Protoss? Who went back in time and broke a twig?
You can't be serious

will serral using rouge new strat?

Only Prime or Even numbers of gateways is okay? So 1 and 9 are bad, but 2-8 are fine?
serral is gonna get lurkers nerfed. mark my words.
It’s 3:30 am.
something happened to serral in the military? protoss?
lesssss goooooo!!!!!
SERALL IS MAXPAX
lol can't believe he didn't make any phoenix's and let zerg get air superiority.
I would imagine that if you are a competitive player, you need to understand how to play each race.
