That was fantastic. Max Pax is showing us what he's made of.

The last best-of-5 series of Serral vs Maxpax you uploaded was one of the best I've seen in recent times and maxpax was already playing with this strategy. And that high mobility Stalker+oracle with non stop stasis is beautiful to see.

Background: This is from Serral's stream fRiskying around. Serral called these freebies where he does bad strategies that are fun to watch so his MMR doesn't get too high.

i love the idea of delaying oracles vs serral, serral knows the timings so well that he positions himself to deal with it so if you wait, he might be out of position

I love how Serral doing the Erik opener is so normal it's not even worth mentioning anymore. :P

Game 3 was a proper strategy game.

What will it take to get Protoss to make walls for their outer expos?

This was GLORIOUS

Love watching MaxPax play

I think MaxPax figured out how to fight Terran, and that's what's cool. It turns out that against Terran, if you aren't ahead you're behind, so keeping them always 1-2 bases behind you makes your late game army actually scale relative to theirs.

I still feel like the balance is why pros choose what they choose, maybe even if they don't know it. After playing protoss since broodwar came out, I gave zerg a try recently. What I noticed was despite the units feeling worse, the spellcasters are in a different leauge then protoss. Protoss has aoe damage spell, and aoe damage spell, really centered around keeping the death ball alive in zoning damage. The zerg spellcasters actually feel like they are precise and enhance the army, which helps fast accurate guys like serrals play style. Terran is the opposite of protoss. Protoss uses cheap gateway units to tank for their thin line of power units. Terran uses their power units expendably to enhance their bioball. Set them up, and use heavy fast micro to keep your bio alive while you slow creep your base forward in a heavily entrenched position. It works for the fast guys like byun and clem, and for the guys who are methodical and planning like maru. but then again. the pro scene seems to finally be figuring out how to play protoss. theyre the aggressive race.

Speaking about protoss being UP. In a way, I think they just lack some of the quality of life things that other factions have. Like they cant heal hull hp. (flesh hp i guess for zalots and adepts XD) They don't have something as powerful as creeps or scans for vision. Those things count for a lot in my mind.

I remember when (not too long ago) 80% of finalists were protoss, and everyone else complained about how op protoss was. Then came some balance patches that tipped the balance in favor of terrans, and terran players were going "Wow, is this what it feels like to be protoss?" SC2 is not static.

It was a bit weird in game 1 hearing LowkoTV talk about how serral was outplaying maxpax when the finisher was down to 3 bases versus the four of Protoss but oh well.

As a player with minimal experience I feel like a late game upgrade for stalker / adept that gives maybe 15 shields back upon use of their abilities like a sort of blink Regen could possibly make them a little more tanky while also not making them require more skill to use

The danish prince breaks the helmet zerg himself?! What am I seeing? :0

amazing game. Their micro is godlike :D

What you don't have for us is The Lowko Intro(TM). But I'll watch anyways, sounds like a banger even without it.

I think differences in skill matter more than differences in power level in StarCraft 2. I´ve been watching a lot of my replays and weather I win or loose I can usually find places were me or my opponent could´ve changed the outcome of the game by making small changes to how they played the game.

Never thought I'd see Serral get run through by a group of carriers...

I 100% agree that the reason on why protoss doesn't win as many tourneys is because of the players. If you compare serral & maru to any of the current protoss players, they just aren't at the same level (well maxpax is looking very promising). Though toss is for sure in a worse spot balance-wise aswell, zerg has creep, terran has orbitals, & toss has.... nothing as significant as orbitals and creep.

@hivetech4903

Жыл бұрын

? PvZ has consistently been _Protoss favored_ for a long time at tournament level, and aligulac proves this. Lowko was referencing Premiere tournaments only, which obviously doesn't provide enough data for balance, because as he said they are a very small number of players. The balance is now close to 50% so in a very good spot, although still slightly Protoss favored.

It's interesting to contrast these "Protoss doesn't win" type impressions with Aligulac's balance stats. According to Aligulac, between January 2021 and today there's been only one month where PvZ hasn't been in Protoss' favour, and PvZ has consistently been the matchup with the most imbalanced winrates. TvZ has generally favoured Terran, but it's been much less unfavourable for Zerg than PvZ and has multiple dips to being Zerg-favoured - this April and May being the two most recent ones. PvT's generally switched the race that's favoured though after Oct 21 it's been evenish or with a small Terran lean. April 23 was clearly Terran-leaning but May was dead even. So it may be that Protoss doesn't win at the very top of the world, but the picture's very different among mere mortals.

Well played matches but... I'm gonna be honest (this is a common complaint I have with Serral) he gives up too easily. If he believes himself to be at a disadvantage, he taps out right away. Even when it's a small difference or, on occasion, he's not the one at a disadvantage at all, he just thinks he is. He knocks himself out of just as many tournaments as someone else knocks him out. To be clear he's still an amazing player. I just think he'd do even better if he was more tenacious. I was going to avoid more spoilers but... It's all over the comments. I was talking about game 1. That game wasn't over by any stretch of the imagination, his disadvantage was minor.

Serral can actually lose? Oh my god. This is like the first time I've seen him lose since 4 months I've been looking at his matches

The reason Protoss doesn't win any tournaments is pretty simple in my opinion. They struggle to defeat a Terran army. Everything in the Terran arsenal counters Protoss so hard. It's a constant uphill battle. Protoss may win a few games but inevitably cant continuously win vs Terran.
