@@vaettra1589 I think code s is more prestigious. I think super tournament is more fast paced while code s allows players more time to play strategies. I could be completely wrong though.
@@michael6909 Super T was IMHO, was important because no matter your WCS ranking the winner would go-to Blizzcon...

The resurgence of Flash vs Jaedong, literally, love every second of it.. That last map though, knew was imba AF, kinda ruined the experience a bit but still well deserved
Rogue really personifies the swarm with his huge army control and Maru is just the resiliant terran. Amazing series to watch. Great plays from both of them!
I disagree. For one thing, Maru is just well rounded. He's not exactly a defensive player by any means though, quite the contrary, he's the multi pronged attack king.
Champion interviewee: "Well, it feels like my mechanics are still there..." Dude, they were way more than just being there! They were on fire, man!!! I doubt anyone else can pull off a "5000 minerals per min" for another final game of a final match for quite awhile.
Aside from this magnificent match between those two legends, I really have to emphasise how good the casting was. Of course, we miss Tasteless, but State has been a great, professional caster - so I'm hoping for more Statosis and of course also Tastosis! Yeahhh
I must say having State commentate alongside Artosis was fantastic all the way through the tourney. Artosis is always excellent at giving the players' track records and establishing the narrative of the matchup as the games get going, and State had clearly put in a lot of effort to match Arto's pace and also have tons of insights into player trends. The pair's play-by-play was excellent too throughout! While I do miss the classic Tastosis combo I really gotta tip my hat to State, you helped make this event super fun to watch!
Games were amazing as hell to watch. Really enjoyable... Will say... Music is also top notch, really sets the mood. Just a brilliant watching experience.
rogue is a man with powerful focus. look at those eyebrows , and his eyes . complete determination. he couldnt even blink.. his skin is vibrant . you can tell he was eating a lot of steamed fish from the look on his nose
Rogue's macro is insanely fast. The moment a gold base is available it's pretty much a wrap for Rogue's opponents. Rogue knows no one can match him macro wise.

One day toss players will collectively decide to learn late game + micro. Till then they're gonna keep playing 'meta' styles that focus on an all-in and get washed. Terran and Zerg players overall are better bc they push the game, not bc they're inherently a better race. Look how long it took for toss players to feedback vipers after they got the feedback range buff. Look how bad their control is with motherships. Look how little they utilize mid/late game prisms. Some do it well, but overall toss players are just behind Zergs/Terrans bc they suck xd
Was just about to say the same exact thing. I really liked the casting and it has been hard to like anything but tastossis. Not that others aren't good but the chemistry of artist and tasteless is so good. Congrats to the "other" caster, great insights.
Amazing games so far, perhaps the best ZvT series this year after Serral vs Maru in King of Battles. That Maru in unflavorable conditions (late hours and lower pings/cross server issue) still can win against Serral, while Rogue vs Maru in this tournament, which both players are in similar condition, goes toe and toe until the Game 7 finished. That really shows how GOAT both of the players are.
y, just like Flash and Jaedong, in fact looks like the resurgence of that matchup in a way, they both even look like the legends themselves, especially Rogue on JD :)
@@AAkCN1 Idr the specifics but there was a series called North American Starcraft League and there was an instance where the sound was really bad? Honestly idr xd but I remember the events and it was good times for sc2 with Mr. Bitter and all the other great folks
Absolutely super and fitting finale for this year and tourney!! Rogue and Maru both at the top of their game. TvZ is by far the most exciting match to spectate
Once again they put spoilers on the video title... In my view it would be a nice practice to add just "[2021 GSL ST S3] Finals" as headline and change the thumbnail to a Super Tournament one, like other GSL videos. There are people who can't watch live, like me, and would appreciate the thriller of watching it as if it were live, not knowing the results. After all it's great entertainment.
I agree with how broken some of Zerg's mechanics/units are. Terran has to micro their run-bys and drops with precision just to maybe kill a few Drones (which the Zerg can just remake in a few seconds anyway) while Zerg can literally just a-move a few cheap units in and can easily kill a huge chunk of the mineral line. They can also do this while spamming Nyduses, all requiring very little APM.
@@kommisar. Exactly i dont know how people dont see zerg as OP? its nuts. I mean the match where the chageling just waltzes in and provides vision for a nydus at that pivital time...is just bs. there needs to be something to detect changelings. One thing i dont get is why terrans dont use ravens or get the blue flame upgrade tho? Surely getting that small upgrade that basically doubles your effectiveness is worth it...when u see hellions get 3 drone kills and lose 3 hellions, there would have been 6,7,8 kills of drones if the upgrade were there, or when the hellions get surrounded by lings and die..they would have broke through and escaped most times geting more kills in the process. I get it these things cost a lot but pay off so much.
@@justsomeguy1671 Are you talking about mech or bio builds? Because they spend their money on Marines to kill Lings if they're going bio, and if they go mech they do indeed get blue flame. I just hate how Nyduses can get spammed with not only Changelings but anything. I think Changelings are fine as they are, but Nyduses are the most broken way of getting an entire army into a base. It even spreads a big amount of Creep right away.
@@kommisar. I was thinking either build. That buying the upgrade is always going to be worth it. I mean how many drones are worth buying the upgrade? 5? I sometimes watch games where Maru sends in wave after wave of hellions like 20 total and if he would have spent some resources on the upgrade he would've doubled his kills. Ya I wish the changelings were gone, or scans detected them at least.
I have to admit, Rogue is the smartest sc2 player I have ever seen. He knows exactly how his opponent's think and prepares strategies and builds that always seem to play the game out how he wants. No wonder he does so well in big tournaments.
It was pretty insane man, I honestly thought Maru was done for with all that aggression from Rogue. Never thought he could claw his back. All those nyduses from Rogue everywhere, multi-prong aggression, it was crazy.
I got spoilered for who made it to the finals, because this video appeared in my recommended feed. Not sure what you can do about this generally, but consider not posting these per-match videos w/ spoiler titles until a few weeks have passed maybe? Anyway, thank you SO MUCH for hosting the gear StarCraft tournaments all these years
Just don't show pictures of the players in the thumb nail, and call the video "2021 GSL ST S3] Finals", while also adding the names of the players in the description box of the video. That way, the video still shows up, in searches for the players - Easy
If you're really so against being spoiled by these things, stop looking for it. If you wanna watch the Semis before the finals, just look it up and avoid other Vids. It's really not that hard
GSL forever! But serious question: would have bunkers made any sense? It's counter intuitive because you Maru needs to stop rogue from taking the map, but he already had as much mining as he could. Tightening up the defenses, super turtle style? I'm obviously not pro at all
Guess a Maru fan ?, I'm a Rogue fan (well, Zerg :D) and this was every bit of exciting as hoped for, but have to give it to the Maru fans that the last map was indeed BS and imba therefore ruining the real experience at the end there kinda for a bit tbh
Rogue is smart enough to change strat on game 6 and 7, not to going in ultra late game where maru have like 20 ghosts, a huge banks and trade super efficiently. That's why i would rank rogue ahead of serral ,reynor , dark. as a all time best zerg
Rogue actually play the game strategically more than other Zerg, and he is the very definition of "abusing the race". Dark and Serral are mechanically better, so they can play more beautiful long game macro and micro. Reynor is a bit of both.
@@tigera6 Rogue was known for his macro late game, one of the best late game player when the metta favors the zerg. I can't say rogue is more superior then serral when it comes to mechanically, but not dark. Rogue would definitely out play dark in short game ling bane mirco fights and ultra late game fights. Now abusing the race i would give that to reynor for his relentless aggression. I would rank reynor higher then serral and dark when it comes to whos more entertaining to watch
@@sandreid87 Thats actually a compliment from me to Rogue, knowing how the to play the Zerg race as a swarm and speed lingbane attack everywhere. He doesnt care about teching up if he can just crash lingbane the opponent to dead everytime.

The best series I have seen in a long time if not ever.

He did a terrible job
Tasteless is much better
Dude, that metal track at the very end is awesome! Also I really enjoyed state's casting.
A really fun match, right down to the wire. Imo there's nothing else quite like starcraft for this sort of gameplay. They're both great players.
Don't scroll down for comments if you haven't seen the entire video.

Thanks guys for such a memorable finish, as well as a memorable GSL year!
Rogue showing us how to truly use the power of the SWARM!
He's like Baelrog brood, Tier 1 units and some caster unit here & there to the core :)
Crazy crazy, going against the meta. Absolutely amazing!
Great GSL finals. I was disappointed at Rogue on the 5th game though but impressed with Maru's defense
42:18 I have seen some funny death animations and this right here is a funny death animation. To infinity, and beyond!
That might be the greatest Starcraft Finals ever. Wow
That siege tank on the high ground in game 3. I remember Crank once accepting challenge to get the unit kill counter to 100. Good times
Such great matches!! Congrats Rogue! Thanks AfreeCA for broadcasting and of course Artosis and State
Life was doing ling run by long time ago.The true best player that ever played sc2.
Crazy shiet... always a pleasure to listen to artosis!

This was a SICK ASS series.
Make 100 tiny fires that the Terran has to try to put out all at once. What a series!
I'm so sad Maru hasn't been winning :( I'm such a huge fan of his and it pains me how OP zerg is with that build

Looking forward to the next season!
Amazing games. Game 5 was incredible!
Epic slugfest as always with these 2
I fucking love GSL with all my heart
Rogue is literally Overmind!) Game 1 and game 7 were exciting!
Truely the greatest of all time
Maru failed to anticipate the zergling's movement 😳, there should be a bomb. 💣
I’d like to see State as sort of a side line reporter, putting together trivia and insights between games and after big engages
Really great series!

@ 32:47 you can hear someone grab a handful of chips and fart
GSL forever!
But serious question: would have bunkers made any sense? It's counter intuitive because you Maru needs to stop rogue from taking the map, but he already had as much mining as he could. Tightening up the defenses, super turtle style? I'm obviously not pro at all
at 39:21 he chooses to attack the gas instead of drones. why? is it because of the time?
Didn’t want to over extend
HIstory have repeated itself again. It's GSL Season 1 2021 all over again.
Not really. GSL S1 Rogue steam rolled Maru. This time Maru played so well the first 5 matches.... and made some mistakes on the 6th match.
Guess a Maru fan ?, I'm a Rogue fan (well, Zerg :D) and this was every bit of exciting as hoped for, but have to give it to the Maru fans that the last map was indeed BS and imba therefore ruining the real experience at the end there kinda for a bit tbh
Game seven, This is SWARM!!! So Zergy!!!
amazing series
these are so much more enjoyable without tasteless
i just love Rogue's playstyle !!
I love that game
Epic finals!
Epic series!
Game 5 was best tvz ever
Where is Tasteless? Not seen him for the whole of GSL, I must of missed why he ain't here. Anyone know?
Late game is still looking rough for Terran. Also Rogue being amazing at slowly bleeding out Terrans, great performance.
Was an amazing series. Missed Tasteless. Although his replacement did a great job casting this match. Artosis/Tasteless casting GSL next year?
