Great second game from uThermal, very close. The pressure and harass was incredibly well played, efficient and as fast as any top terran. Also great defense against the constant ling runbys, almost got that map off of Serral. Great game from both players, amazing comeback.
There are some really annoying casters in the group stage and because of them, i didn't watch some games. It's good to see, that there are some really good casters like these two guys. They take der job serious and they aren't laughing all the time, like other casters. But most important: They have a really pleasant voice and a really pleasant speed of speaknig - not too fast, not too slow. Good job guys👌
Uthermal had a 50+ army supply lead over Serral for a VERY long time, any other player on the planet would have lost to that lead, but Serral is not a player, he is a god...
I don‘t get it. Uthermal constantly up 50 army supply, pushing serral back to 3 mining bases (which also means fewer larva which is essential for ling/bane), constantly pressuring, creepspread is low, fighting with liberator, tank, mmm against a pure ling/bane defense (ok 1-2 vipers) and zerg keeps expanding while teching into ultras and counter attacking? Let me be your daily dose of balance whine, but neither a terran nor a toss would have recovered from this situation, no matter who is playing.
Most Zergs would had lost there. It's not Zerg OP, its just Serral. Most GM Zergs: 1. Would Had lost injects during battle. 2. Would not save (twice) their drone line by sending lings to keep busy the bio. 3. Would dive on the tank line. 4. Would not chase medivacs in order to delay the bio from regrouping. 5. Wouldn't care to send the lings from the 5 oclock hidden base in such a way so as not to show their trajectory. 6. Wouldn't had the APM or the clear mind while in huge pressure to counter attack and destroy reinforcements or SCV lines. That's why Serral is the GOAT!
uThermal went full mongol after the +3 attack upgrade, never used the floating expansion, never upgraded, never got any other unit then the 3 he already had while seeing ultras and still manages to lose with 50+ supply lead.
It wasn't a won game, he had no Ghosts and a run-by that would force his army back. He knew that the second he went back, his wings would be vonurable to counterattacks.
You know uThermal wakes up sweating thinking about that last game
I always cheer on Serral but the last game I honestly wanted uThermal to win

Good job thermy! you had the goat against the ropes!
the only reason uThermal lost was due to not using the Penguin Brothers strategy he's saving for world championship
surrounds in the first game was just insane

Too bad uThermal missed the bottom right. He would have had the momentum to win. Excellent game tho.

Zerg is Just OP thats it
army supply does not really matter that much if u play ling-bane-viper, you can defeat a terran force that is 3x as big if u play that comp.
So Happy to see uThermal back 🎉🎉🎉🎉
lul the ending , fenomenal game from serral btw
That ended quite unexpectedly
Serral is unkillable.
+Linsen Li Its a zerg thing even 4-5k mmr zergs on ladder you can keep sniping their bases but they always have plenty of units to survive anyway
Serral is imbalanced. It's confirmed. All the bong cloud and penguin brothers practice helped a little but it wasn't enough.
13:30 "Yeah, I guess we're just gonna have to nerf Zerg so Serral can have a competitive game..." That aged well :D
so why did Thermal GG the second game???
Serral was sitting back with over 2k gas most of the game and just beating back a grand master Terran with just banglings and creep spreading
Serral did some pretty cool things there at the end to get back in. It wasn't just the hidden base, it was a combination of things.
Pot of greed love the yugioh referenced here.
Serral is a god
Great 2rd game. Only two non-Koreans could withstand such pressure and only one partly-human could win in the end!
Dude.... that "2rd" literally broke my brain xD
You know game is over when 70% of the map is red.
Maru often disagrees :D
*goat noises intesify*
Serral is the goat. Period. Show win records to prove otherwise
I still prefer Maru
@@vinnieg6161 I prefer Maru as well but Serral is just a stronger overall player.
@@elgar7252 I disagree
lool brilliant game
Serral is GOAT
Second game felt like an idra gg.
Serral is the goat behind Maru!
lol that corner base makes the game
who these casters

Z got buffed into OP for HotS and then it just got worse.

@@teodoreh lol guess ure talking about gold players but most GM and esp the top 16 would have done just exactly this
@@alpha-cf2oi It's a lot of workload, so if you have the skill, you deserve to have an advantage.
uThermal the greatest player of all time
"has it in spades" is a reference to playing cards not garden tools btw
Horrible commentators, tellin us only nonsense

Serral is the GOAT
"He's the night king"
So easily defeatable by a small girl and turned into perhaps the biggest anti-climax in entertainment history?
Not that night king! Just like, the king of nights. In general.
Night king as he should've been
Caster jokes are god awful but at least they're well spoken
Oh no:) UT just throw away a won game.
It wasn't a won game, he had no Ghosts and a run-by that would force his army back. He knew that the second he went back, his wings would be vonurable to counterattacks.
queens are still broken. Impossible to harass Zerg early game
Serral games are so boring - she makes only zerglings an bailings, cheap mass for death. Zero style.
My eyes bleed reading the Serral g2 praise when his answer to literally everything is a-moving ling bane and it fucking works lol
wouldn't terran be an afk race then? Tanks just shoots far, liberator sieging, marines on hold with medivacs. :-)
