I listen to you at work sometimes, it's no different than when people listen to the baseball game or the football game on the radio - I can almost see the map when you are casting which is a testament to your experience and skill at what you do

Poor Skillous! It felt like a game of Serral practicing his comeback strategies. Until eventually, Serral decided he had practiced enough and decided to win.

I think you are right. For large parts of the game it looked like Serral trying to get some training in. The supply difference was quite significant for most of the time.

I mean if you just throw one of your most important units away like this against someone like Serral you kinda deserve the sass lmao

This was just painful to watch. Honestly, the only reason it lasted any longer than like 20min is because Serral vastly overestimated his opponent. For long periods he had a 3:1 army value lead and still played super defensively when he probably could have won with a simple all army attack move.

Serral was playing a micro intensive highly diverse army. Infestors, Vipers, Broodlords, and Lurkers can't be attack moved. Look at the fight at 27:20. Those are the fights that Serral's deathball could win and the only way to force Skillous to switch from his high eco swarm approach into a fight like that was to trade with maximum efficiency and inflict minor economic damage over time. @LowkoTV pointed out that Serral was playing the Protoss deathball style offensively, but he was also playing turtle Terran defensively. Serral didn't overestimate his opponent, he won the game using his excel spreadsheet brain.

I don't think he was able to do so, he would lose like 3 bases by the time his army make it across the map then back home, he has a long rang/spell casters army not a classic deathball

I absolutely LOVE seeing Serral games casted. The man is other worldly

18:15 Lowko talking about where and how we watch it. I always watch it on my TV while eating. Best entertainment while eating for me xD

LOL!! Zergs salivating over the high templar. I was screaming "EAT THEM" when I saw it coming.

22:55 NO WAY, even tho i cheer for Serral, that snipe is insane!

Man, the ultra looks so cool when it's charging-up its Kaiser blades... too bad that by the time they wind-up, 20 ghosts from the neighbouring TvT decide to just snipe it out of spite...

One of the reasons why i watch your upload especially those 30 mins videos are perfect for lunch break 😂😂😂

I have recently found your channel a few weeks ago and your casting is awesome. Looking forward to more. Keep up the great work!!!!

I watch while I pretend to be working. Your cast have basically become a part of my daily routine and are usually one of the first things I watch at work lol

What units did serral use for this game? Answer: Yes

I don’t even play SC 2 but I always look forward to your work Lowko ❤thanks for being the go to for anti stress, always cheers me up hearing your intro! Keep it up man! Cheers 🍻

I literally listen/watch you every single day at work, I was running out of content, started rewatching stuff, then you got me hooked on UThermal and now I have a whole new rabbit hole, and less work done by the day

37:40 I sometimes wonder if pros should start setting up "nearby" bases to long distance mine from when they're going for the swarmy mobility style. Less efficient mining offset by more continuous mining plus resource denial

@joseph_pokemon

yep I always think about it....some terran do it, they have a Planetary Fortress with an extra Orbital Command near it...and prefere to rebuild the Planetary Fortress while long distance mining insead of flying the Orbital to replace the old Planetary Fortress (the Orbital will fly when in danger)

Hey, watching your videos at work increases my productivity!

You are amazing lowko, at work just background listening..you do it so well

I don’t just watch at work Lowko, I also play your videos to fall asleep to (and I mean that in the best way possible)

Love your vids, Lowko. Quick English note, no offense meant! Range vs Ranged. Quick trick: If range comes first it's ranged, if it comes second it's range. Examples: long-range, close-range, melee-range VS ranged-attack (an attack that happens at range), ranged-defense (defense against ranged-attack). Units have range. Their range can be upgraded with range upgrades. Those upgrades benefit their ranged attacks. Sorry I'm picky, your English is phenomenal and I wouldn't have a prayer of speaking Dutch. Keep up the amazing work!

I feel like every PvZ with Serral I have ever watched he has won. Especially late game.

Actually he showed some weaknesses in his ZvP at homestorycup. You should check it out on twitch if you havent already watched those games 🙂

I'm surprised that Serral did not bothered to expand. Usually such players just lose in the long run, but Skillous was completely outclassed by Serral. It just could not do anything effectively after Serral consolidated. It even felt that Serral was toying with him as he never bothered to attack even when at massive advantage.

what a nice and awesome game. now and then these types off games are very nice to watch ^^

"A lot of people are watching my videos while they're at work" *nervously checking the room

Excellent game by SKillous but unfortunately for him, it was a masterclass from Serral. Beautiful casting too which wraps up a fantastic game and experience over all 😁

Totally watching it at work!!😂😂😂

A cat playing with their lunch. Poor SKillous!

I watch your videos at work all the time.

I concur! Very epic.

Lowko, you caught me watching your videos while working at home. 😂

SKillous had Serral on the ropes and Serral, instead of taking additional bases, simply stopped defending what he couldn't defend with his slower force and let SKillous have reign over the map. SKillous actually got too greedy and ended up in a situation where he was the one with the slower army and had more territory to defend than he had forces to effectively cover. It was a great game

Serral's games often look like he's a little behind, but he keeps everything under control and always wins. He mockes his opponents, he gives them a hope to win.

Feel like void ray would munch through the army of serral SO easily as void counter corruptor and that the only anti-air

Did Lowko just shame some of us for watching video games at work? Dude... you are CASTING video games AS WORK!!!

ROFL… man you called me out! Sitting here at work watching!

13:20 YES finally borrow usages in a cool and very annoying to deal with way :D

2:20 hey he's talking about me ! =D

A phrase to add to LOWKO bingo. Smashing his piggy bank

Serral dominated the whole game, SKillous just thought his eco advantage was enough lol

Lowko you the man always enjoy your videos

Kind of surprised to see those broodlords out as long as they were. If Serral was using his usual lingbane hydra approach, he probably does a better job of holding his expansions. Maybe he was just trying something and sticking with it for practice?

Cool game!!

Hey hey hey, i like lowko at work in the background.

Lowko, you exposed me. I watch your vids during works like alot. I guess working from home is not so bad. Lmao :))

how do you recover from losing three mother ships\

Serral is amazing to watch!

...Im watching this while working! LOL

Game needed 1 swarm host. Come on Serral :(

Man you singlehandedly bring me back into starcraft whenever I take a break from playing it with those casts! Keep it up those are amazing! Wish serral was doing better at the tournament tho :c

It seems like Serral was just playing a "Beating Grand Master With Stupid Stuff" where he doesn't go over 66 drones.

My first time playing starcraft I just spammed photon cannons into enemy base until it went into every base It was so stupid

I watch in my bed on my phone before I go to sleep.........what I am saying is, you put me to sleep lowko..... ;)

Me: actively working while listening to this video I feel personally attacked

i dunno why, Lowko's voice is so calming that i always play his vids whilst working. im sorry if you dont like it lowko.

Offensive scout? It’s called a reconnaissance in force.

Serral is the only player who makes ZvP look easy. It's infuriating. But it's also tons of fun to watch.

I am watching from work ahahaha No call out needed, if there is nothing to program or fix, or no IT to do with one of our merchants... I get to do what I want within reason.

i watch you when i work

Aww, it's an ultralisk love triang-- no, no, now it's a love parallelogram.

Skillous playing his heart out there, but Serral is just too thorough. Never pushed too far too fast, never let those stalkers get under the broods, never letting himself get in a game-losing situation. Sure, he lost a ton of stuff, but he never lost *his army* and he never let Skillous actually recover long enough to build a fleet that *could* compete with him. Lowko said, "Skillous is going to fight this with Stalkers and Zealots" but really, Serral never let him *build* anything but Stalkers and Zealots.

I feel like Serral could have moved out a lot earlier, no? He had more than double the army supply of the toss - just split the big ball into two and attack from both sides? Either way - fantastic game! :)

Holy. Finally a cast where Zerg wins. Lol.

I am surprised Massive units are not immune to fungal slow effect :)

This feels like LOTR: "Destroy it!" "No."

Crazy how SKillous had a huge expansion advantage and destroyed the main Zerg base, but was always like 60 supply lower. Went full gateway man and never built up his army, just kept expanding. Then immediately died when Serral went Lurker and attacked with his Broods.

It was the clasical zvp, but this time zerg went tier 3 and protos tier 1 units

Unfortunately stalkers aren't nearly as cost effective as marines, a good reason why no one ever makes them their main unit vs an end game zerg army.

11:05 in and have to say either Skillous creep denial has been incredible or Serral's creep spread has been poor

lowko can twist space time until he is serral. for an infinitesimal (yet also infinite) moment. Just ignore those other dimensions (e.g. number of hands)

How can you watch this at work? How can you watch this on your phone?!

skillous :"HEHE I TOOK YOUR EXTRA BASE !!!!" serral : and ? skillous: "i'm gonna get more bank than you !!!!" serral: and ? skillous: "you're not gonna be able to max out a second time !!!!" serral : AND !!?? skillous : "but...." serral :"FOOL !!!!!"

Skillous was up almost all game until he wasn't. Serral, man.

2 Protoss Prism and 4 Arch drop on Bloodlord would be good but I have not see any do it yet.... Speed prism upgrade.

It's kind of funny that protoss can now take fast 3rd base without even making any void rays. I guess the "potential" to make void rays with the stargate is enough to prevent all the roach all-ins?

think pushing creep and static with fewer broodlords presplitted so it's easy to defend the entire creep pushing, then when within range gather, or whenever a defensive point is hit hard gather 24:33 1.6k is a lot of static and zergling pressure with borrow everywhere. there should pref never be an engagement without zerglings and worms coming up and in to every base he has ^^ insane micro but again serral can if anyone can ^^

28:03 why there should be a zergling everywhere it can annoy all the time :P if you got the apm. and small groups forcing defensive set units etc. worms that come up at annoying spots forcing you to scout, maybe ambush if smaller force, or counter attack if bigger :P BORROW MUST BE USED MORE !!! :P also roach borrow heal micro must be something for something; just never seen it utilized very well :P

Is there a legit reason why didnt Serral switched to left-up corner bases after mining out right side? those 4 bases (or at least 3 that Skillous ended up taking) are very close to each other so broods would be able to nicely defend them as opposed to defending 1 on base on the far bottom right and up left base. And that would place Skillous on 1 base vs 3-4 base Serral. Other than using Skillous as practice dummy i guess)

Me watching this at work 🤫🤫🤫

Not a scrub, still watching on a proper computer. :-)

is it your opinion that Serral's late game is scarier than Maru's in every matchup @LowkoTV ?

@N0noy1989

2 жыл бұрын

For me, Maru has the scariest lategame IF he reaches it intact. He can beat Serral, Reynor, Dark, all zergs if he can go into lategame intact. He's also strongest TvT and I think he can also beat Protoss in lategame. BUT, his opponents usually make sure that that doesn't happen. In comparison, Serral plays very safely that he can go into lategame more or less in one piece

LURKER + BROOD LOAD is Zerg best combination.
