Amazing best-of-5 series of StarCraft 2. Serral (Zerg) vs Clem (Terran) is the highest level of SC2 I've seen all year, with a very unique strategy in the final game of this series.

it's almost like a music composition. Clem opening with zerg strat and winning and Serral taking back with terran strat at the end. what a master piece.

that was called extractor trick back a few years when everyone does it.

queen is "reine" in french. and it's pronounce like "ren" with french "r". This series was incredible. Most of the time i watch it in 1.5 but this time i had to slow it down to properly see everything. I think that tiredness of Clem was the key factor at the end. But my frenchboy played like a champ. so tasty. After seeing MaxPax vs Serral and this one, i realy think balance is as close as possible to perfection.

@N0noy1989 Жыл бұрын

Not really. Serral is way stronger, that is way he's ahead of the pack. Look at what happened to the other Zergs. Dark, Solar, Reynor barely hanging on to rank 8,9,10 of Aligulac. But I doubt Zerg will be buffed because Serral is too strong. Not to mention TvP is hella imbalanced in favor of Terran. For ZvT, it's mostly the ghosts at late game that are imba.

Its actually insane that Serral has these strategies up his sleeve. It often feels like hes holding those back in order to safe them for important matches. Watching the last game i feel puzzled why it isnt meta in SC2 to just load queens in ovies to spread creep in this manner. Clem has 3 Orbitals but isnt able to clear creep cause they are out of energy. I guess the only way to counter this would be with a raven, yet still difficult to approach. I hope to see plays like this more often.
