Lol same! I have seen this series casted 3 times, this is my 4th...

Dude Serral games are crazy. How is it that he can spend the first ten minutes of every game focusing purely on defense, and yet still make it look like he has his opponents dancing on puppet strings the entire time? What an absolute terror that man is.

Glad to hear the surgery went well, glad to hear you're back and healthy and I look forward to more great casts from you.

Stealing Winter's "like this and ill upload again" speech, im in stitches

42:32 Serral cancelling one of the Spines the moment enemy started retreating is goat level shit.

Thank you for using a picture of Serral where he isn't telling me to be quiet.

Just went back and watched the Serral vs Ragnarok series….. 1) The last game played was a 59 vs 37 worker lead for Serral. 2) The 12-pool defense in game 4 still gives me chills. 3) I love that at the end Serral said “gg wp gl”

Not absolute monster. He is absolute GOAT of this game.

I really wish one day we get to see Serral play offrace just to see if he can dominate everyone and anyone playing any race.

Laying on the bed this morning.. turned on the TV before breakfast to have my daily cup of Lowko&SC2... My 5 year old says in a Bluey voice "Oh nooo not starcraft!" and my wife rolls her eyes. They won, actually. You hadn't posted yet :D Also super glad you're feeling better! Operations and sickness, no fun.

Seeeeeeeeeeerral! 🐐 I already watched this series three or four times, but I will watch it again.

I like that you added the ZvZ as a second set of games

I don’t understand it Lowko because I love the mirror matchups.

lol, that last Serral match was so him going: No no no, THIS is how you do that strategy.

Last game is just, hey Shin, this is how its done. Oh and that wall off, it was amazing, all banes got funneled in and taken out by roaches, so crisp. Problem with non tvt mirrors is you need to be able to read the game including the mind games well for it to be interesting, its hard enough in a replay and really difficult live.

Thanks for the video, Lowko. Always a pleasure to watch. ♥

omg the winter impression :O

I really love how Serral operates with protoss stasis. Most zerg pro players see oracle making stasis trap and trying to minimize the damage by sending a single worker into it. But Serral be like 'get over here!' and just kill it by queens.

I think the funniest thing is, Joona looks like the most kindest and harmless person I've ever seen, and being such a Mörkö Monster in Starcraft II. I know I'm heavily biased for being a finn, but there are some heavy boots to fill in trying to be the next GOAT 😃

"Nexus? I have pvp on the brain. Serral scouts to see the number of drones on this COMMAND CENTER"😂😂

For the record Lowko, I enjoy watching Mirror Matchups... in moderation. I'll happily watch 1 or 2 different Mirror Matchups a week. It's if it's more than that that things get a bit stale.

I love seeing Serral playing. It makes me feel line is so essy, then I lose in unranked gane to the most dumb cheese because I forgot 1 thing, just 1. Scouting, building the unit I knew needed, I forgot droning. 😂😂😂😂

we see you, Lowko, forcing us to watch a ZvZ by tricking us lol, jjk, luv u Lowko

16:30 ohh winters going to be talking trash about you for a week... thanks

Glad the operation went well! Hope you continue to recover quickly.

Even the break cant dull lowkos hatred of void rays

I feel like if we ever get another big World War we're going to see Finland deploying zerglings and queens and the other side should probably just surrender then. (I joke of course. They would never reveal zerglings, they would use burrowed roaches and an infestor in the base.)

I love all the matches you host my man. Best after work TV, 13 hour shift today

Dear Lowko, every Overlord high-five is actually a low-five, right? Love, random Internet person

Glad to hear your surgery went well and good to have you back!

27:20 Sneaky, sneaky broccoli

The broccoli metaphor was hysterical ^_^

love mirror matchup! Was wondering why we don't see those so often...

Last game was incredible. what a psycho playing opponent's mind.🤯

Thanks for the mirror matchups, appreciate it. I think mixing them in is good.

Good guy serral shown shin how its done in the last game lmao.

I thought the extra length was to prevent spoilers but pleasantly surprised to find a hidden zvz❤

I know people don't watch em, but I love seeing mirror matches as well. They're precise and technical, but they have really unique dynamics, and that interests me! Also, glad you're back!

Welcome back Lowko. i miss your commentary so much. Glad that you are back.

27:08 - I'll watch mirror matchups all day just as long as Serral is in it I'll watch TvT ZvZ PvP whatever versus whatever. Cheers!

No shade, but, anyone else noticed Lowko's camera work has become more reliant on zoomed out overview in recent years. Idk, maybe it's 'cause I watch 'em on a TV in the living room now compared to a monitor at a pc desk when I first started watching forever ago. I find Winter's camera movements has become the most visually pleasing in more recent times. They're still both S tier casters imho.

Loving how much daddy is uploading recently, keep it up

Welcome back.

40:25: I dont think that it was that obvious for Shin in the first fight. He had +1 attack for his roaches, Serrals only finished in midfight, so he saw a decent chance to win it, but he knew that he was on a timer, so he commited hard (also to get the 2 ravager kills). I think it was a good effort, that didnt work out. In the second fight i think Shin felt he was behind and needed to make something happen.

I love mirror matches! ... or well ok love is maybe a big word but variety is the spicy of life and having the occasional banger mirror match mixed in is great imo.

He just defended first game, second game he was like oh you are doing the same thing again, still defended it and at the third he was like ok buddy this is how its done 😂

Welcome lowko

I personally don't mind the mirror matches. What's less interesting is a BO5 which only lasts for 3 games because Serral just played 3 normal games. I mean no disrespect for him, he is the GOAT, which he even demonstrated this time in game 3 by showing Shin how what he was trying to do is supposed to work. However, I was rooting against him in both series (although I would never put money against him) because both his opponents here are just more fun to watch. Hero especially comes up with fun plays.

Lowko i got a question about putting gateways on the over side of the map if you have warp gate done isn't it the same to put it in you main base?

@Thethinkology

they're more easily attackable, why do that and not simply bring a warp prism ?

@juansaldana7976

3 күн бұрын

The nylon alone has a delayed warp compared to warp if there is a structure nearby (inside it's field). So having a gate makes the warp in faster

I may be the exception, but I really like Zerg vs. Zerg games. I feel like it's quite explosive and skill-intensive depending on what happens in the game.

Honestly I think Maxpac plays a much better prot vs zerk game. Better early game distraction, better blink control, know how to use storm when playing against mass lower tier units, better distraction set up for zealot runs, overall better micro, better transaction timing, better adaptations from seeing enemy units, seriously AOE like storm in particular is very very important when you are failing behind in units. Making more single target dps while already falling behind is just going to make you fall MORE behind.

Is that a dig at Winter at 16:45 ?? 🤣🤣

Serral is the goat. Do you want push him ? Get out... Do you want a fast third hatchery ? Get out :D

Lowko welcome back. Serral is a beast, and he is considered the GOAT even by most Korean Pros as stated by herO in a recent interview he did. At this point only a few Terran/Maru fanboys are the only ones left debating this undeniable fact.

@@OnigoroshiZero First of all, weekend tournaments like Katowice are barely comparable to preparation based tournaments like GSL. Just imagine u could train and prepare for the typical low apm cannonrusher on ladder that always does the Same shit and still keeps on winning. Once u get used to his style and exploit weaknesses, he‘d be forced to mix it up. For that matter, Serrals achievements are surely not to be underestimated due to his superb mechanics and micro but i will refuse to call him the goat unless he actually tries to win in Korea. Secondly, u notice that almost every weekend tournament is won by zerg while protoss and Terran historically struggle to win any of these tournaments. This is due to the fact that zerg isnt necessarily op but has the most solid openings to secure u going to the midgame safely. Once the zerg messes up this stage of the game, its almost always game. Macro zergs that rarely switch up their solid openings etc. are just kind of favoured in these scenarios unless some T or P takes massive risks to stop the zerg from growing. If u regularly watch GSL youll See that almost every game and matchup is completely different and there is far more variety due to the players preparing for facing one another. So, to sum up, Weekend tournaments are a completely different Style of tourney that almost always favor zergs with the most solid mechanics. Serral has yet to prove that he can win a tournament that involves specific preparation for every opponent which is GSL. If he wins GSL he is the GOAT surely.

@@gerkan2052 Calling Katowice a low-stakes tournament is insulting to everyone who puts in the work to get results there. Beyond that, you've got it turned around. Top players, both korean and european, agree that preparation-based tournaments are exactly the kind of tournaments that serral dominates. In smaller tournaments it's possible to take a game off Serral if you catch him off guard. If he scopes you out in advance there's simply no chance. He'll know how you're preparing to beat him and have the counter ready. it's the very thing that separates serral from other top players in terms of results. He may not have the cleanest execution on his pocket builds, but he hides them from play better and always has them ready to blindside his strongest opponents in key matches because he can afford to play standard the rest of the time. He studies enemy builds better than anyone else and shuts those builds down with as little sacrifice as possible. From there it's just about dictating the pace of the game and taxing his opponents' APM and attention while making the most efficient use of his own APM. While he can keep up, he's nowhere near the fastest player or the most mechanical player - he loses to reynor and dark in ling-bane wars, maru and clem can both out-micro him with marine-marauder-medivac - but he's the best prepared and the most clinical. I think Serral doesn't go to GSL because it's a whole extra tournament to prepare for and he's just chosen not to spend his energy there. tl;dr let me put it this way: Everyone going in to a tournament serral is participating in with aspirations to win expects they will either face him in bracket or he will be one of the grand finalists. ALL of them are preparing to fight Serral. ALL of them have a plan or a pocket build, at least one, for Serral, even if they think they can take him in a standard game. Everyone Serral is playing is preparing against him specifically because they know he's the tournament favorite. So how is Katowice not a preparation-based tournament as far as Serral is concerned?

Get well soon Lowko!

Paying my respects to Otto the Overlord!

Saying a player “spawns in” sounds SO much more appropriate for zerg

So true dude.

Lol you 17:05 you have been watching winter!

Sorta using Winter's intro. Love it.

It's to the point where I go to watch the ESL Casts and before I even watch I know Serral 3-0ed his opponent.

go serral let's go!

It's not the first time I see Her0 going mass stalkers against a swarmy type of playing. Zerg will overcome you eventually. Sky toss nowadays is also a terrible idea. Colossus and disruptors are risky.. just go storm and be happy, man. Along with a few imortals and sentries, and of course, a lot of stalkers and zealots.

I wish I could catch a Live stream - would make my day

Serral still isn’t dropping maps anywhere:)
