Radhuset is a map that you can easily get to late game, but all Zerg will ban this map against Protoss and on other maps Zerg just kill Toss in 10 minutes.

serral beaten in a 35 minutes long match ? wow incredible !! reminds me hero vs Dark. I hope we can see more of Serral Vs Raynor in the future I love how raynor used most of the toolset of the protoss. Especially the sentry. Force fields saved units. And using halucinated units againt broodlings is brilliant ! he also leveraged air control early in the game, showing that a couple phenixes are sufficient to deny most of zerg's scouting. Also the worker harrass of a phenix and 2 oracles was very well done. He won not because of a gimmick or luck, but because of all the little details and separated battles he won over 35 minutes. beautifull Raynor is now the best protoss in the world. incredible

It's almost like the zerg player was/is the best SC2 player in the world. And got beat by someone roughly equal playing their off race. I'm sure serral would probably stand a better chance in a Bo5 since Raynor probably doesn't have many toss builds yet so he'd get hard countered at some point imo.

@redwings13400 6 ай бұрын

@@okachobe1I’m wondering if reynor chose Protoss specifically for this map. With such a large and defensive early game map, maybe reynor sees a well microed late game Protoss army as op against Zerg (and he is probably the only person capable of microing this army this well), and this map is the one where it’s relatively easy to get there? Reynors protoss looked absolutely incredible, but he might be on to something with map specific race switches. If he can do that, he’s ridiculously scary to face because he doesn’t need to be able to win a series with Protoss in order to make him dangerous with Protoss. If he can just switch to Protoss on certain maps vs Zerg, then he can still use his regular swarm on the more Zerg favored maps, while getting the upper hand on maps he might otherwise struggle with.

The key for those few players who successfully changed their race is that they did it permanently. They did not dabble in a 2nd race. Scarlet tried to dabble in Protoss but never completely changed. All pros will play other races for practice. Those who watched Dark stream would know that he was a very high level Terran. When a player has such high level of skill and speed that Reynor has he can be a top player in any race if he committed himself to it.

Babe, wake up, its 12:49 and I just saw Winter's new video. AND it's a protoss game to boot! In regards to your opening comments about PvZ, I agree Zerg is the king of going unchecked, so to me it stands to reason that the other two races are effectively on a clock, unless you can go the distance and mine the map more efficiently, but thats a long time to hold, and Zerg deathball is even better than Protoss's thanks to vipers being able to slowly eat valuable gas units. I can't watch another split map PvZ where the Toss just losses a carrier here, tempest there, and eventually just runs out of gas (literally) and the zerg is able to trade armies then remax and A move with their bank.

most important thing about raynor protoss is u can see how potentially u can play for protoss. His playing style is similar to a hybrid of Zerg and Protoss. it's clear that you need to have a potentially high APM, but this is not a barrier at all if you really want to get better at the game. Im guess he is far not the best protoss in the game, but his vision of playing for protoss is another and its good.
