Now I understand why Serral pools his workers with the first shade, the commentaries said it was a mistake, but It was because it was core before nexus so it was a more intense pressure. I love hearing a pro commentating on games, much more insight, thanks Harstem!
let's all not forget that serral is currently doing his military service. even if he has some privileges compared to a normal conscript, he likely still has quite a bit on his mind, and isn't in his comfort zone. i mean, it's quite something that he is even competing at all now, while say the koreans are usually just gone for a year or so.
Koreans serve for longer than Finland men. I am not saying Serral isn't amazing, but I also suspect that the Korean service is more intense and less lenient too. I don't recall any pro players from Korea attending tournaments during their service.... usually they just disappear for a few years.
some advice to hero (from a former silver player): Took him too long to clear the creep on the bottom side of the Map and I dont understand why he never took that base. Can someone explain?
Just another game where Protoss gets choked to death in the late game because the race just doesn't have enough instruments to deal with Zerg's super late game composition. I've seen this exact game gazillion times already. It's all the same. You can remember how MaxPax expressed his frustration about PvZ because he tried to play late game against Zerg. It took a while for him to realize that there's no such thing as late PvZ. Late PvZ mean you are dead already. Type GG, quit game, get better, practice more, eat more vegetables, ect. Since then I've never seen him trying to rush from mid game to late game PvZ. herO still does this because it works against weaker opponents like Solar. The chance that this will work against Serral is exactly 0%. I've never seen him loosing a single game like this through his entire career.
Pretty much. P just can't match efficiency of Z at end game and can be easily swamped in the early game. It's all about the mid game, which classic is showing with adept shenanigans, sentry-immortal etc. When Z can split their end game army and both halves can fight off the P, theres just a basic balance problem.
@@SnakeHelah Here we have a seething zerg player, who's mad because we call him out. Lurkers invalidate every possible ground army, P could have. Corrupter counter Tempest and Carriers super hard. Vipers can even pull them in one by one. If you try to supplement with voidrays - eat some fungals and parasitic bombs. On top of that you have literal maphack with creep, not so stationary stationary defense and Brood Lords to outrange high templar who would be your only counter. It's been an unbeatable composition, there's a reason every game looks the same and is won by Zerg in the lategame. Protoss has been the underdog for far too long but sadly there won't be any more major balance patches, so if you like Protoss you are f*cked.
Dude, Hero had lots of opportunities to win this. It's just that Serral is that good. Also zerg late game composition is very fragile. One mistake and you are dead. Compare this to protoss death ball. Serial landed 4 consequantive fungles, do you know any other zero player capable of this? Also Serral's nydus play, also his vision throughout the entire map, etc. etc.
At this point it's getting boring. Every game against Zerg looks the same. And as with Disney Movies you already know who's gonna win in the end. It's not fair. Not balanced
the fact that he is in the army right now might have finally taken a toll, maybe he had something particularly taxing to train before this series began.

For some reason I can't add a comment, but this video had me at the thumbnail
Do you mean pull?
Harstem: Thanks for making these games accessible to the layman! Great commentary

Every time i see a mothership in a pro game im reminded what a terrible unit it is.
Agree, and last update the balancing still nerfing it 😂
The player rating cards made me laugh
feels like that 3am game
Hero, clem and dark are always so fun to watch. They dont macro as cleanly as the other guys at the top but win off of pure gamerism.
clem has some of the best macro in the game, it's part of what makes him so scary

rip serral 0, 4
Serral SHOCKED by MOTHERS...

@@tylr3669 you guys really need to get out of silver don't you? What is the zerg super late game composition and why can't protoss beat it?

If you want to play Serral just be clem
such as painful game to watch
herO, why are always stacking your units when there are 15 infestors????

I think it can't be the highest level match without the best player in the world, but the highest level PvZ sure.
Mothership op confirmed :) Need to nerf it second time. I lost to it in silver every game
Dude you are not allowed to complain about imbalance in platinum and below. Optimise your play first.
Wow.... is Serral losing his edge? The Goat? That game against Clem.... 5-0.....????
the fact that he is in the army right now might have finally taken a toll, maybe he had something particularly taxing to train before this series began.
@@ashesofaranea Or Terran is just overbuffed at this point, as well as the maps are Terran favored. Statistics on the maps don't lie.
I think maps is the answer
He is beating the shit out of everyone except Clem right now. Cant really call that loosing his edge
