The entire series is absolutely top notch, but Game 3 is above and beyond. I don't put timestamps/chapters in the video to avoid spoilers as much as possible - but if you are only allowed to watch one game a day that's the pick. Timestamp below: Game 3: 27:35 thx for watching

Winter actually has good gamesense because he understands the flow of the economy. The guys doing the casting for ESL have none and it’s frustrating, I remember watching someone take a fight and come out with -4000 resources, only for the casters to praise his strong position and say his opponent was on the ropes...right before he surrendered because of how badly the fight had cost him.

They are single-handedly going to make the reverse what happened to Zerg happen to Protoss. Clem and Serral are so good at their race that I am seeing some Protoss buffs incoming over the next year unless Maxpax and a few others can start consistently beating Serral and Clem. The joys of an RTS being balanced based on the top tier. Its unfortunately neccessary when the esport is so dominant, but it makes it hard for people below the top tier or just below it (Pros and GMs).

Man, I remember when Clem was just starting to gain notoriety as a top Terran; his aggression and his micro were top notch, but he was so momentum driven; easily overwhelmed against opponents that could keep up with him, and really bad at managing counter-damage. He has evolved over the last few years into a much more calm, patient, well-rounded Terran that can dish out blows and take them really well too. Really putting Maru on the spot for his title of GOAT Terran.

Clem spamming CC is actually a pretty smart move. They used most of the cc to create orbital to maximize efficient mining to deduce creating scv and added it as an army. Also, cc used to create a choking points in every def to maximise the firing range of Platenary thus forcing the serral to play late-game attrition which terran has an advantage.

Keep thinking that as long as the terran units can be immediately picked up, people will always call these situations imba - where, the zerg wastes 10k+ and can't seem to break the terran line.

@@nguyendi92 "bruh", a factory with a reactor = 200/150. Each mine costs 75/25 and deals over 100 damage plus splash ground AND air. Meanwhile a lair, a hydra den, a lurker de alone are 350/350. Then each lurker (including hydra cost) is 150/150 and the spines hit for 20 against ground only. For less building cost, less time, less unit cost, you get a mine that hits ~6x harder. So no, the two are not even remotely comparable.

@nguyendi92 5 ай бұрын

@@TheBigCheez365 uh, if you count the tech building, why dont you count the reactored Factory and the neccessary upgrade so it actually hidden? And the opportunity cost of not making tanks? Mines are useless at any fight last longer than 5 seconds and less than 1 minutes, which make up 99% of SC2. Serral failed to sweep the mines despite negated them 100% in the past is his current mistake, not the game's.

@TheBigCheez365 5 ай бұрын

@@nguyendi92 clearly you didn't even read what I sad because the first 6 words are the factory with *tech lab* attachment. The upgrade just allows them to stay hidden when they shoot, Mines: cost less than half of a siege tank or lurker, take way less time to build than both, but especially lurkers, AND do 5x more dmg + AOE, AND can target ground / air AND 4 fit into a medi. It doesn't matter if a fight is < 1 min long, if all of my ling/bane can be wiped by 3 mines before the fight even starts, then the fight is already lost. Winter himself has even voiced his concerns with mines not being addressed in the last balance patch video he released. Dude there is no world where you're right on this.

@balticwater 5 ай бұрын

I've kinda felt like Serral wins the majority of his games by landing some god tier fungal eventually and wiping out his opponent in one fell swoop. In this series he never really managed that. Clem had about 3 digits worth of orbitals just sitting around scanning all over the place and taking out the infestors before they got into position and there was no other method in sight to deal with the weakest units in the game, ghosts. I haven't played SC2 in 10 years so if my opinion is stupid, I blame lack of practice.

@wedgeantilles8575 5 ай бұрын

Zerg has been nerfed to the point that against bio a great fungal is indeed all they have left. You are incorrect in the Ghost. Ghost is by far the best unit in the game. It is great against a lot of things and decent against most. EMP against spell caster, Snipe renders Broodlords basically useless, Snipe oneshots Overseers and Hydras and 2-shots Ultralisks. It destroys Lurkers. Even against banes it is not horrible. Basically it is good (or even a complete counter) against EVERY late game unit that Zerg has - and is a nightmare against Spellcasters and detection of Zerg on top of that.
