![Serral vs Oliveira (ZvT) - World Team League Summer 2023 [StarCraft 2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gz0RuNSzAEo/mqdefault.jpg)
serral physically felt every widowmine hit and every ghost snipe on those mutas
being hivemind leader is a painful experience
Those last snipes just broke him down with that fist to the face
I was literally frustrated by the empathy I felt for serral, every time a widowmine splashed off the faces of the mutas.
Yeah this game was Serral VS. Widowmines not Serral VS. Byun. Fighting against automated units what fun.
@@F4c2a that's incredibly naive, it's not just the widow mines, it's byun's macro and micro to build all the different units and deploy them there
You think you can do the same?
You can tell Byun's understanding of Marines has massive increased after experiencing their lives for two years
Underrated af
Cuz he went to military? Lol
hahahahah
these are the games that this sport needs. unbelievably entertaining
@Patty Homes call it what you want.
@Patty Homes hard to say what is and isn't a sport when you move out of what is classified as traditional sport... baseball, swimming, shotput, even horse racing; basically all standard forms of human strength and propulsion... what about car and motorbike racing; why's that a sport? and we get to esports, which can be argued it isn't a sport until the end of time... but when big companies like red bull and coca cola decide to sponsor the events of esports, it legitimizes the competitions as a sport and the deniers move more into the minority of those who don't consider it a sport... but everyone can have their opinion...
@Patty Homes its an esport
@@edwardness7497 chess is a sport. So SC2 can be as well
@@edwardness7497 this isn’t a sport, it’s an esport. Also car and motorbike racing are very physically demanding sports.
It only just hit me in the end that it wasn’t even a finals game. It was Quarterfinals and shit was THAT intense? Jeez.
Players are just getting that good. 2020 has been amazing for Pro SC2, everyone is just chillin' expecting the classic Zerg stomp, and then Clem outmicros Serral, Cure creates the Widowmine meta, ByuN outmicros everyone, it's amazing.
since when is only the finale thrilling?
It's the game of the year from the tournament of the year
starcraft is for noobies. play fortnite. much harder game.
@@krioni86sa said no one ever
You know a game is GOOD when Serral gets emotional with his facial expressions!!!
That was probably the most back and forth game I've seen this year.
29 minutes highlights of 41 minutes gameplay
you're on
Time in starcraft also goes faster than IRL time
You know its a good match when highlights are 70% of game time
@@jarrettdittmer9367 i think that's not the case ever since legacy of the void
@@jarrettdittmer9367 Not for LotV anymore
Also let's give a shout out to the observer during this series, unreal amount of awareness required to make sure we're looking at the right part of map!
I love your titles, because I can trust them. If you say this is the best match of the year it probably is
wr
22:43 Serral loses it
perkele
"Fack!"
Yeah he must be really frustrated at himself there.
wrr
Love that momment lol
nothing makes me happier than seeing mutas die but serrals reaction to losing all those mutas was heartbreaking lol like 2400 resources that just evaporated
Damn. I can't even imagine the stress of playing this game.
You bet that ByuN does
Yes and yes! This is the best game of 2020. Byun will make terran being nerfed, lol.
Him and Maru just beat both the best Zerg in Europe, Widow Mines shall be nerfed soon.
@@tigera6 we zerg players can only hope
@@tigera6 tbh i don't get why people didn't use widow mines like this earlier
@@tigera6 I REALLY hope so. Once I lost to someone that simply raly his quick factory with reactor to my second base and won the game doing only mines ;-; I know I did some pretty big mistakes, but no units can actually win doing this kind of thing, quick roach all in for instance need to mass first, then attack.
The reaper nerf
I dont understand how they can play this fast all over the place. I cant even keep up just watching everything thats going on.
that's why they, not uand me, are pro players
Try hard enough and you can do the same.. try really hard for months, maybe years. Everything is impossible until It becomes possible.
ByuN to Serral: 'Do you bleed?'
Great game!
22:40 , we all feel you Serral...
Serral: wdf!
Not even click bait. Amazing game.
That fight around the 25 minute mark was insane and they both landed on like exactly 100 supply.
Byun is truly the king of non stop action, extremely cost effective trading and denying enemy economy at the same time. Terrifying combo.
A legend!
Byun is the best.
30 min (of highlights and 41min of game time) of non-stop multi-location micro and macro action. These guys are robots.
Crazy to see how devoted to the game the very best are - You can see the pain on Serral's face when losing those Mutas
omg the widow mine hit on 4:55
Just watch further, mate, till mutas get involved x)
22:35 OMG😰😱
That did lose the game for him probably which must be so annoying to know. What I don't get though is how that second Wuidow mine got it's shot off. He just flew up and 1 shot it yet it still got to shoot?
@@Quiczor He got in range of the second mine, backed up and then returned for the shot too quickly. The entire time the targeted muta was in range of the mine, long enough for the mine to make the shot. If he went straight for the kill or backed up enough to break the targeting he would've killed the mine in time.
OH NYOO 😭
@@WatchPripara Ahh thank you. Must be kicking himself for that but he still played magnificently
Oh man, what a game! So fricken entertaining. Sick job from ByuN, Serral & the commentators!
22:40 kkkkkkkk a cara do Serral
Nice cast with Lambo. Love it when pros are in the cast and give us their insight.
Just watched the entire thing, damn this is amazing
Nice RuneScape :)
That last widow mine prior to Serral tapping out killed like 15 zerglings. Dang bro
Serral's supply dropped from 81 to 61. That was 40 zerglings or there about.
widow memes lmao 😂
So great to see Byun back again, he is so fun to watch and plays so well. Sadly is too good and might end up getting terran nerfed again.
That was hands down the best game I have seen in a long while gg to These guys for playing their asses off!
When I thought it was done, there was still 10 minutes to watch. WTH !!!
22:43 I think that's the first time I've seen Serral show emotion mid game. I don't know if he was speaking Finnish or English at the time but that was definitely the equivalent of " WHAT?? AWW FUCK!"
damn it i already saw this in SC2 Journey channel. if only i can forget it and watch it again
That's fine, but I don't think that channel cares much about copyright
@@SC2HL out of curiosity (since i got no clue), how is your channel doing better copyright wise?
There are two major differences:
- I get permission from all the tournaments (I reached out to the head of the ROG tournament a few days ago and got approval). According to him, no other channels reached out
- We actually make cuts during the highlights. It's less apparent in this highlight, but normally we cut down a 25 minute game into a 13 minute highlight. The other channels upload the entire thing without any cuts.
Cheers!
@@SC2HL Kudos, SC2HL
@@SC2HL Thats awesome! Thank you for caring about that stuff :)
SC2HL: drops king of SC2 Byun episode
Byun: Insane micros against Stats! Greatest game of the year vs Serral!
The return of the king
those widow mines have such a huge impact on these games
and they don't require micro to do well, but microing them can have even more effect. they're basically spider mines but even more cancerous.
@@kopazwashere but banelings a-moving and melting everything is okay?
This game was truly amazing, well played by both ByuN and Serral, it was truly a very great match!
I think that BC's are my favourite unit, they are just so fun to use and watch
Now this was epic!!
The widowmines and mutas had me rolling xd
Micro Jackson baby
9:16 did no one else notice the little baby baneling being born in the middle of the battle?
Everytime Serral loses his mutas he is just wtf.
Very exciting!
That was fantastic
Love Byun's marine style
This was insane
byun's strats are incredible. ive never seen before all of terran/protoss player matched with serral stuck their forces on point.
however byun splits their army to many groups, byun progresses their forces one by one, you might see only few bio units attack and stop serral's income.
that progression gets byun's forces longer to take center of a map - keeps them not be surrounded by serral's main forces, helps to back up against serral's zergling counter.
like 4:30 ~.
he never rushes when he makes a move that layer makes serral hard to push
The dislikes are from Zerg players only.
Serral @ 22:40…… all Zerg players have faced this frustration at least once….. 😂😂😂😂😂
Wardii and Lambo are a good tandem
Was doubtful all the way into the middle of the game that this would be the "greatest", and thought it was an unfair exaggeration. But by the end of it, I really thought the title got vindicated. Indeed the greatest of 2020.
22:35 JUUUICY
This felt like Broodwar that's why it was amazing. SC2 is to explosive, we need units with less DPS so that fights are more entertaining
this was an amazing game
What a Game!!!
Super!
One of the longest, but not sure if one of the greatest. Especially if to compare with this year GSL finals
I think it's the best TvZ i've ever seen
and WIDOWMINES ! GG guys !
Впервые вижу эмоциональный отклик Серрала, хотя видел за 30 его матчей и момент, когда после победы в турнире он просто встал и пошел чаек делать. Действительно крутейший матч. Бьян великолепно нивилирует главный недостаток терранов - низкую мобильность и успевает шикарно ставить мины против самой мобильной расы. Главное чтобы близы не перепутали огромный скачок профессионализма терранов с имбалансом и не стали убивать их, у них и так самое большое количество условно полезных (преимущественно бесполезных) юнитов (близорукие риперы, чрезчур хилые гелики, чрезчур медленные торы)
Noooo.....
widow mine will get nerf vs serral
marauder nerf vs stat
Byun: there will be one day SCV will get nerf
Widow mine kind of deserve it, even in PvT it is quite impossible to deal with it effectivily. You know they are there, you know they will lock in yout units and explode everything but even focus fire doesn't work sometimes. 0,3 more seconds to shoot would be enough so mines wouldn't be as strong as it is to harass and in straigh up fights like they are rn.
wdym the scv nerf is coming soon cuz of this 24:04
@@quantinum2141 whats your mmr right now?
@@krioni86sa why should it matter? But anyway, I'm 3200. Also, I don't have too much problem with widow mines at my skill level, most bio+mines players forget to burrow them, but I watched most of this tournament and widow mines are just too much cost efficient against the other races. They cost +25 than bannelings but does way more dmg, are ranged and have twice their amount of health. If you wanna compare to Protoss, let's look at disruptors. These guys require robo bay cost 150/150, require micro, aren't cloaked and, while having only twice the amount of health one mine have, the time they take to explode are easily 10 times the amount the mine require. Mines are just too good for too little.
@@quantinum2141 .3 extra seconds lockon and mines would almost never fire aside from surprise attacks, it's a long time, esp. against protoss with detection + zealots
widow mines sat in obscurity for a really long time, kek
I’ve never played start craft I have no idea what’s going on but I keep watching lmfao
I see battlecruiser, i click.
The best match of 2020. I have spoken.
4:55 two widow mines, one hit first the top group of balings the second hit the bottom.
Widow mines 😎👌
These guys are so fcken good at this game. Fantastic match.
22:45 Watching his camera, you can almost hear Serral say, "FUCK!"
That was a bad move
Lets not forget about vindicta vs mcanning now
22:42 Serrals expression
22:35
BRONZE LEAGUE HEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOES
Zerg for so long seemed op with the banglings but its good to see that terran players are getting extremely good at picking zerg player apart now on the pro level.
........lol
I understand the resource inefficiency of ling bane but its supply efficiency is insane. Even the trades that are really good of terrain just result in a supply parity but any slip results in a loss of so many marines that zerg gains an unassailable supply lead. I obviously also appreciate the skill that goes into zerg getting that efficiency but I feel terrain needs some more high skill cap counter play to ling bane muta
The mines in this game were so good. I don't know if it's the lag or if ByuN's placement is just the best, but man was this painful for Serral. You can see him losing his composure twice then outright rage-quitting the game at the end (though ByuN had too much at the time.
Serral is the best! 💜
the poor observer was not ready for this game lmao
This game was really intense and put me on the edge of my seat. Too bad Serral went with Ultras though
Well it kinda made sense, he only had melee upgrades and was playing against bio, Ultras were super valuable imo. He just never had a room to breath to transition into hydras and lurkers.
@@Maleficarum999 Ultralisk suck, no reason for them ever
@@mystikast than what do you get in lategame when you only have melee upgrades and you immediately require stronger units than ling/banes?
@@Maleficarum999 Anything but Ultralisks, as a zerg main, I can confirm they are trash.
I'd rather have 0/3 lurkers or 0/0 broodlords over 3/3 ultra.
Ultras do suck, but lurkers take too much time to setup. Byunn would've walked over him during the transition. But either way it was too mobile for them anyway.
*No Nut Nov hours from ending*
This game: I am gonna end your streak
@julian lee You mean Streak, 😂😂
This game exposed Serral’s critical weakness. He usually trades in losses so he balances the loss by doing zerglings and muta run by to gain huge economy income advantage. In this game, ByuN defended the run by pretty well which took away Serral’s chance to turn the game around
No, byunn just denied creep. Serral could barely go on the offensive outside of harrassment. Without creep serral couldn't engage byunns army at all. Even with infestor in play zerg is dependent on creep.
seral critical weakness? maybe is the weakness of the race? is a swarm race who work good when you mine more of your opponent and have more units, is inevitable to trade at a loss, if zerg can consistently trade equally while having a swarm race/unit composition would be terrible imbalanced
Why didn't he do lurkers? Aren't they great and way more cost efficient than ultralisks against bio?
Think he hasn't practiced much with lurkers. They take time to set up but yes I guess they are great for defence
He did it in the game before this one and won, but for some reason he decided to go for Ultras this time. Huge mistake.
Everyone always has their own playstyle. Serral would be the guy who loves using ling/bane/muta/ultra or ling/bane/hydra rather than hydra/lurker and I wouldn't blame him for that playstyle because it could always work.
probably don't have the time, if serral decided to tech hydra/lurker, his base would be eaten up by byun
@@realenew yeah probably, and i guess also because he can't afford range ground upgrades?
Mutas still hella OP, but happy to see OP Zerg getter destroyed
GODS.
I don't understand people say that game is unbalance, IT was the closest head to head i have seen for a long time on the highest level can imagine. I wanna see they crash player on regular tournament. 2/3 best players of all time. Still MVP no 1.
Its want really that close. Serral was fighting hard but he was at a major disadvantage with byunn denying so much creep and the WM. Zerg literally cant engage without creep and the mines being so cost efficient did him in.
where can i get the replay?
At 22:35 Serral had 12 mutas and 1 overseer. First of all Mutas had to one shot a mine to prevent explosion. 12 mutas are enough for this but
First mine was lucky that he saw it late. When he Turn to stack up mutas to shoot, he got hit by mine. That is 1/3 of muta health.
Second mine exlpoded like a slap to the face because that 2 mutas was not in position and shoot late. That spend 2/3 of muta health.
Third one is the same as second Mutas couldnt shoot together. That was all the health of mutas.
Fourth mine exploded because of that overseer went further maybe a misclick. That is the way to kill 9 mutas and a overseer.
I think you are a little off.
He activates the first mine without attacking it, the second mine goes off as he is attacking the first mine thats already fired, 3 mutas have died now and he does not have enough to one hit mines anymore thus takes the third mine shot, realizes late he cannot one shot anymore and tries to flee the last mine but it connects.
What do SC2 people think about being able to toggle the auto targeting of units to focus on Eco/Buildings rather than enemy Military which is the current auto focus
Which made micro easier than players might be better but pro play will be less fun? i think
@@adamyong6766 well aside from just micro it makes tactical sense, sending a group of units to harass a mineral line, should not be distracted by a single marine or spine or cannon or whatever. Like a general should be able to tell their soldiers that they are to focus non-military
No, that is not how RTS should work. RTS has its own depths in it. Creating something like that only removes a good element of controlling your army. You play RTS to control them, not to let them control themselves by the gimmicky mechanic. It will be a bad option for RTS or even any other genres.
It would require way less micro to harass, which would make most harass options really broken. Zealots and Lings run bys are already pretty awesome in the late game. Also, you can focus fire workers, so you can make your troops focus on the economy, but it requires precise and constant micro while it isn't that effective, making it balanced enough and giving stationary defense a reason to exist. It is already really trash because it is tanky, so their main use is slowing harass and all ins.
Generally no, usually best to kill units with highest threat. Marines attacking a high HP building should shift their focus to defending zerglings cause that’s guaranteed damage.
Highest threat to life. Marines should target mutas before corrupters, and mutas would target marines before tanks.
Changing this narrative just adds confusion. Also sometimes workers are used defensively to soak fire from units, I’d rather have my units still target their units rather than the workers.
Man plays this good and cant afford a webcam , feels bad man
My god ByuN is good. Also it seems like Serral struggles against widow mines, I’ve seen a couple games where they’re the reason he lost
WOW
22:41 watch Serral when this happens. I don't know what he said but I have some suspicions.
26:30 That's a pissy expression.
thought for sure serral would transition to brood lords. never seen him be tactically inflexible before, but what he was doing wasn't working so he kept doing it?
The thing is tho, broodlords are too slow for such engagements against byun
You know how fast byun can go
Byun is the only Terran player that have a equal economy with the Zerg late game
why was the mineral purple at 22:20?
Well, considering Solar's winrate against Byun it is easy game to him
I see Byun i go click on it and like video.
22:46 when gods get mad
This game was fucking spectacular
comments below... waaah! widow mines waaah!
ok then pro terran player, how the fuck do you deal window miners
22:37 that's messed up. He killed the mine, THEN it shot.
More than one thousand zerlings died wow
