That 3:57 wall off block was ELITE!

Serral realy pulled that uno reverse card in that first game

I was going to sleep, but I guess the night is dark and full of Serrals.

The theory that SC2 playstyle correlates with the player's personality resonates with me.

Love this. Gave him a taste of his own medicine

Truthfully ever since I started seeing dark I've been a fan. His play style is soooooooo flexible and awesome control. I'm thinking he's gonna be one of the greatest zerg players of all time.

TvT: as you can see every building every upgrade every unit is perfectly in sync with the other playing the most perfect and optimal build. ZvZ: Well one of them started as Terran and one of them started as Protoss but after 15 minutes they both arrived at lurkers

Alright, Ill admit: of all the Starcraft mirror matchups that you can get, I feel like ZvZ is just the worst. Lowko even addressed why in the video! It can be incredibly boring because unit diversity is pretty low and there are just no sure-fire counter-strategies early on. Games are often won off of small mistakes or build order differences. Having said all that, this entire series was an absolute banger from start to finish. After watching the first two games and realizing that the video still had around 40 more minutes of playtime, I knew it was going to be amazing, and it certainly delivered. The skill of the players, the excellent casting, and the added Lowko special" commentary really brought it all together. There was no better way to spend my dinnertime than watching this video. Thanks, Lowko!

Dark is organized chaos whereas serral is OCD. That's my reflection on this matter

Nice to see Serral still plays a masterful Game of Drones. Btw, bratwurst of a thumbnail by putting an S ranked face finally. Maphacker moment 22:20

Usually I hate mirror matches because I'm colorblind and have a hard time telling the different players apart. But these two colors are perfect and I can actually follow the action.

Did a dumb where I assumed this was one game just bc I misread the title lmao

Love your work Lowko, thanks for this.

I like the Poker anekdotes that you are making, keep it up!

Dark's defense at 30:00 was just disgusting. The micro and targeting fire was nuts.

I wasn't expecting Dark to dominate Serral after first two matches.

Really nice to see the triple helmet theory in action

Love the personality theorizing. Very interesting.

Wow!! The Finnisher finished!! Great series by both!! Excellent commentary!!

Just...wow. That was awesome!

I can't believe this channel is free. Top tier cast!

Holy crap that was a wild ride

26:00 ish "If Dark needs a stapler..." hahahhaha Got me there, Mr. Lowko! made me laugh. =)

just insane how Serral turned the game around in the first match

22:27 to be fair i do it to something, because of the square base of the map, youve got flat area in the creep circle, so you just have to make 2 lines that cross each other and you get the creep tumor location

2:47 I'm excited for next week's episode of Game of Drones

Awesome comeback

That first game was amazing!

What a game one. Very impressive.

Epic. Matchup of the year.

Watching yt captions trying to cope with cyril/sarah/serial/cereals name is hilarious

Game 1 was a thing of beauty.

This was a good video

"Game of Drones!" Hihi^^

That first game was quick but damn that kind of quick cleaver strategy is why Serral is considered the best.

Anyone notice the rocket jumping dead roaches at 11:53?

That was epic

32:38 why those over lord at the front door? one thing interesting to mention, in ZvZ they don't do much of creep spreat roach better than zergling that much? its so weird serral playing like that....

The Game of Drones. I would read that book

🎶 Drones, drones, game of drones🎶

"There's Korea, and then there's the rest of the world." To be honest, it's starting to feel more and more like, "There's Korea, *Europe,* and everybody else."

Most online games end up being Korea vs the rest

What even was that first game. Top notch entertainment

In the first game, it was very clever of Serral to send in his first six Zerglings ahead of his main force. That way, when Dark realized it was an all-in, he tried to wall off only to find the first six Zergling blocking him off.

If we are going to make gambling comparisons, we have to do one for Byun. Simon, I believe in the past for Byun you have used the example of playing a game of blackjack, being at 18 and saying "hit me" in a game of regarding Byun's playing style haha. If anyone puts all their money on red in a game of roulette, it's Zest.

Serral saw the creep tumor when it was building you saw it when you saw his vision that he knew it was there

Honestly I think Dark won 2 games simply by having better army control. Serral had some great concaves at the beginnings of fights but during the fight I feel like Dark moved better.

Swirly arrow is back!

Just curious, do we have any 4-player maps in starcraft 2 for 1v1 game match like Starcraft 1? Most maps in Starcraft 1 for 1v1 match are 4-player or 3-player maps

+1 armor doesnt always negate +1 weapons because for some units weapon upgrades converts to +2 dmg per lvl (or more) dmg

Holy shit that first match! "You dare rush me mortal?" Ends the game 2 minutes later.

I'm not here to see Serral lose and lose again

nice color =)

22:11 *Serral snips a creep tumor* Lowko: did he have vision, or did he know where that tumor was located based on the circle of creep Me: well...he had vision of the tumor while it was building, XD

just checking the replay timer after the 2. game.... :)

2:49 - " It adds up very quickly in the Game of Drones " . Accidental, or on purpose punt, what do you guys think ?

wall off block was 300 iq...holy shit

Game of drones: lings of power.

Hohoho... Trying to guess the personalities of people Lowko? Well id say yes a playstyle is an extension of yourself, but it can be still slightly different playing games, or making quick decisions, over what they do in general... Very fun to speculate.

Dark's house would be a total mess and yet he knows exactly where everything's at

Dark wouldn’t have to ask his wife where the stapler is, he would just remember wherever he last set it down.

Spawning pool first always seems like a way to loose

Look into the Five Factor Model for personality (Agreeableness, Extroversion, Consciousness, Openess, and Neuroticism) You state that Serral has an emaculant place where everything has a place. That describes someone who is typically high in orderliness, which is a facet of Consciousness. People who are higher in Consciousness tend to be more goal oriented, long term, hard-working, and reliable. A person to practices a certain thing for extended periods of time until that certain thing his fully optimized would characterize a high level of Consciousness. To so make the statement that "Serral has a place for everything" lends itself to a more Consciousness person. Low in Consciousness would characterize a person who is more of a risk-taker, messy, short term rewards, less loyal (typically your entrepreneurs). Not only is Serral more likely high in Consciousness, I would guess he's also low in Agreeableness as a person who is low in Agreeableness and high in Consciousness means that Serral has disdain for people who don't work at the same level as he does. This has been showcased when Serral makes comments about players who gamble in SC2. The two major factors that contribute to success in any domain is I.Q. (processing power) and Consciousness (personality). This is why Serral is at the top. Serral is most likely conservative. Consciousness people tend to be more conservative and this may lend to why he is predictable. Also this could be due to Serral being lower in Openess (creativity domain). Serral is not a strategist which lends itself to Openess to I.Q. (Not to be confussed with precession power, rather a facet under openess which showcases a persons willingness to "think outside the box). Etc, etc....

i feel dark is the type to stream from a Raman Noodle House :P aahahaha

Was this game played at a tournament?

36:23 Dark's dark past xddd

At what point does the guy - who's known as the "Final Boss" for stopping would-be GOATs dead in their tracks one inch from the finish line - become the GOAT himself?

Must say i love the non pro player matches more too see, because you never know what do are going to do xD The pro players are just not human.

Which league has the most pro players? GSL? Korean? Trying to get my SC2 back on

I guess Serral can find his scissors with his eyes closed

it mostly feels like Z has no real comback potential, yer some but not when you look at T or P, therefore when 1 lose a noteworthy fight in ZvZ the game is over. its the same if Z lose a noteworthy fight vs T or P but when T or P loses noteworthy fights they got So many ways to stall the game and so many ways to do comebacks that the cames need to be extremely one sided for it to end in a single engagement, build decision, unit composition etc.

since serral got to the big leagues he won all offline series against dark with total map score of 11-2, while online dark only lost one series, with total map score of 11-5. So serral owns dark at bigger offline tournaments, while dark has the advantage in online games. Not bad for serral in his worst matchup against a top 2 korean zerg

GAME OF DRONES.

game of drones :D

Regarding the mirror matchup discussion around 4:30, I have to say PvP is the most fun, ZvZ is usually fast and intense and such heavy micro, but TvT is tedious as hell unless it's just cheese

Starcarft music is underrated

cool

Dark is a wildcard that needs to be dealt with.

Nice Nice.

I think if you're at a point where watching Serral can't help you improve in ZvZ, Lowko probably can't help you either.

Uhhhh "game of drones" XD

Serral should know at this point that Dark goes 12 pool every ZvZ

GG

I love ZvZ because it allows me to route for a zerg guilt free

Serral isn't weaker in ZvZ it's just for some time zerg was really op so only zerg pros were able to compete with him. He also beat dark to become World champ

For Aiur!!!

I heard injecting Synthol into your muscles can turn you into the King of Blades, except you cant duel Kerrigan.

Serral going cheese always feel not so right and indeed the way he doing it in the last game not so right. Also off topic, Lowko asking how does the combat shield pop in the middle of the battle. My explain is that it is under software lock, it was there all the time but functionally locked, just like BMW heated seat.

If Serral went for a base trade instead during the last game he would have won 100%

Serral needs a chesing teacher. Maybe Bly can teach him

It seems blizzard finally nerfed Serral.

Legendary ZvZ!

i should go to bed.. oh a lowko video.. oh a serral bo5 ok fuck sleep

Circe Lannister would be toss. Go Dark.

Lowko do you realy want answer to the question of your sanity? ;)

I really don't get why Dark "gg" out of game n° 1. He has more minerals, 21 against 14 drones, with reinforcement coming. Only thing is he lost 2 queens. Not game ending for me

Lowko, can you put your content on Odysee too? They have a great feature that will import your YT vids.

@Lowko- how far you from Grubby? You guys should do a collab.

Serral list this round though…. Sad Lost after winning 2 matches too.

I decoded Lowkoo, if he puts some one in the thumbnail, is the looser.
