I never noticed he did that, I was wondering why Cure only had a few tanks out so late into the game. Absolutely foul plays by the Finnish Phenom, for sure.

Im honestly still surprised Contaminate isnt used all that often. Slowing down production and upgrades just seems so... incredibly useful. And its not like Overseers use their energy all that much. Would throw off so many timing attacks and soften opponents due to them not having as large or strong an army as they could have otherwise.

That is soo fucking cool im getting nerd chills

That's amazing. We rarely see pro Zergs (or any Zergs) really even use the Contaminate ability.

Coming back to this comment and thinking about it further, Using Contaminate more liberally would even give more justification to getting the overlord speed upgrade too. Gives Overseers even more survivability to squeeze out even more value out of everything they do. Just overseers zooming in and out of enemy bases stalling the means of production. I'd imagine this getting incredibly frustrating and force the enemy to spend more on defenses and/or attention they'd otherwise spend elsewhere. I seriously wonder why Contaminate isnt used more.

Hahahaha at this rate, looking at the new patch, I think it’ll be 10 Cyclones every game 😂

Okay I made this comment to be ironic but ....

You stop Serral by playing zerg basically. He can beat toss and terran at any day of the week but is zvz has become his major weak point. Funnily enough, all other zerg players have a lot more problems vs the non mirror matchups than Serral. I still remember Reynor getting wrecked in the GSL he attended, as an example. And yet Reynor nowadays seems to have Serrals number (well probably literally, considering they are on the same team :p ) @@awrawrwar

Oh, irony, took second but I remember a world before having to adjust to aspies. He is probably hard to even cast: a lot of players struggle just keeping up with economy while defending, much less attacking, I can just about manage a two pronged attack, but take your eyes off your army for 2 seconds and it's gone. The style that got everybody tilted to start with I think was the hatchtek roach avisher, throw so much shit at them that they have to pull everything back to defend, a desperation strategy that works, but very expensive. In long games Terran static builds can run you dry. He's getting scarier now he's playing a more nuanced and economical game. Still, Creator killed him with a very basic void split, the main weakness of the toss being it's very propensity to pucker together into a nigh unstoppable death ball. Fear not, terries soon to be imba in whole new ways.

It should be possible with perfect marine splits and target firing. AI level, over 9000 APM micro. Also perfect EMPs and snipes from ghosts, perfect unsieging to avoid ravager biles, perfect splits against parasitic bombs ect.

​@@johnkalyvas4838snipe 8 times: kill 100 supply of zerg that costs 2000/2000

It was more frustrating a couple months or years back to see a zvt and they had to sit 10 mins staring at each other cause the terran dont want the ghost to die and the zerg dont want to overstep. I symphatise with the zerg more 😂😂

Recognize how methodically good Serral is, but my God his winning is boring AF

zerg unit is pretty OP if u play them right. creep spread is pretty much half maphack and then with infestor burrowing around the entire map zerg player pretty much have the potential for full maphack. With vision of your enemy units whereabout makes the game so much easier to play. u can easily climb the rank with just lings+bane+infestor play. Unless terran has unlimited scan or rich enough to invest lot of raven or observer for protoss.

@@jimmygoh4210 sensor tower

@@etherdeef4303 sensor tower does not reveal burrowed unit and its benefit are no where near what creep spread could provide.

He truly plays like he is the swarm, swarming from all sides

Well, his name is loko :P

@@potato6619 his name is Lowko but since Europe is a country I might as well misspell his name lol

Nerf Serral. Tape his pinkies to his ring fingers when he plays.

@fatcat0702 nerf serral. He should be required to sleep on a mattress from goodwill the night before tournaments.

@@fatcatzero 😂😂😂😂

Ack. Fckin youtube pushed this comment in my face and spoiled the dam thing.

@@fatcatzero He should play, at least, one match blindfolded.

I haven't seen Scarlett much lately. I miss her playstyle so much. She had a unique approach to the race.

I guess there is also something to be said about the advantages of playing something unconventional game 1. Its a bit of a gambit, if you win with it, the opponent is definitely shaken up atleast a little bit. Even if these guys are seasoned pros, noone is 100% tilt proof and your mindset matters a lot in a game as high-stress as SC2.

Terries are lazy, and medics furnish greater value in the early game, even going mass raven, before seeker was nerfed (about the time I quit playing t never great with them anyway), you still kicked a medi or two before going into 6 or 8 starports. Medics can evac scv, drop death on you enemi worker from behind, 4 ghost can nuke the ramp from you main to the nat, then lay 3 overlapping on your production and kill every structure. Stacks vertically, Raven just screens, used to be a point defense drone chingas.

@@SD-jf7nb Except all you need is one raven. It's not like that will cut into your medivac count all that much, especially in the mid to late game. It will save you needing to scan to find burrowed units or creep tumors though. Having at least one raven really should be a 200% must in a TvZ matchup, honestly.

I've always thought this. But they just don't seem to do it.

@@SD-jf7nb while understandable if you play against serral i think its a fantastic investment. Even just for the zerglings he puts under your bases etc and even more for his infestors

it isn't possible for the solo caster to use picture in picture without post prod.

@@user-uy2bb5iw6lHe knows that. That’s why he’s suggesting they add that in. And his suggested method would be absolutely possible to implement. Not trivial, but definitely possible.

@@SchmittySchfin The way he describe it literally was absolutely impossible for solo caster. He should simultaneously watch fight, talk about fight, watch minimap, find another action, hover mouse here, hold shift, follow camera on main fight and also move camera in PIP with pixel perfect control (PIP will be shakin like crazy if control like that)

His ZvP and ZvT are world renowned. But he struggles in ZvZ. So you can't nerf him, or he'll get steamrolled by Solar, Dark, Reynor etc.

Its also because his vision is almost always perfect. after the early game he isn't caught of guard ever. Not a single time. It's awe inspiring to see.

for real though, what is going on there?

You used to be able to hear things on mouseover, I used to mouseover likely spots, I could hear pylons warping in, buildings being constructed, etc.

@@SD-jf7nb that's crazy! I never knew about that....I wonder if it still exists?

he is setting hotkeys for jumping to these spots if im not mistaken.

Dutch media law mandates it as of a little while now, it’s similar to PEGI ratings for example

@@LowkoTV oooohhh... no, well nice video as always, i often time listen to your cast when doing dishes

Battle cruisers with a single raven and they are all toast. Thats a hard pivot generally but tanks, a raven and blueflame hellbats work fine as well.

Battle cruisers take 64 seconds to produce so you would have to plan it in advance and if the zerg has 5 corruptors then the BC is dead. Tanks and hellbats would get destroyed because it takes 3-4 shots for a tank to kill a lurker and broodlords can target fire hellbats because broodlords auto attack does 20 as well as launching broodlings.

People truly underestimate how scouting is one of Serrals absolute highest polished skills. He literally knows everything his opponents do at almost every point in the game. It's beautiful to see. As Lowko said Serral sees things as fast as him and he has perfect vision at all times.

You die! 🤣

A first rate finisher!

Somewhere, 41+or51, he ganks a tank into a better firing position, but forgets to kill it, losing like half his hrdra, lol. Reminds of me of me.

Don't know about 5 years but queens and creep got definitely gutted because of him.

still I think queen need super nerf one of the annoying unit I hope disappear from StarCraft universe

And what should replace them? Queens are the most important zerg unit. Only source of early game AA (save for spines, which can be easily dodged without queens) and are needed to transfues the hatches for additional produktion. You would have to basically redesign how zerg work and that is simply not needed, as the races are ballanced quite well. And we have a terran worldchampion right now, so if anything protoss could do with a little buff.@@yeyintnaing7823

Aàa

@@Iwmar I mean, after he won with infected Terran they removed them from the game. When he won with brood lords they nerfed their range and speed to the ground. When he won marching the queens they nerfed them so that they would only be able to transfuse on creep. Along with the many, many nerfs Zerg’ve had over time.

Play through the tears bitch! The Finnish Hammer!

it was a spoiler for the third game though. Still didnt help cure but well * shrugs * its serral

@@xandara75 It does not spoil the outcome. Like most of the sc2 vods.

nice one

Unfortunately not much of a matchup, stefano would go missing irl
