    Serral reminds me of a qoute from Mensk:
    "I'll be out there, waiting for you to slip up. Beczuase sooner or later you will make a mistake... And when you do... [I'll kill 41 of your SCVs]"

    53:56 Lowko: "We discuss oftentimes what separates a top-level player from a grandmaster player. And I think one of the key characteristics is, I guess like, how would you call that, like, agility? Like, adjustability?"
    Kerrigan: "Do you remember what I told you on the battlefield?"
    Zagara: "Vision."

    I've been a watcher for years, all because of your personality, commentary and casting. Really most of the time you're 50/50, half commentary/remarks, half casting. You went almost into full caster mode at the halfway mark in game 5 and it was pretty hype. Not saying it was better, but for these caliber of games it made for an intense viewing experience. Great games.

  • @kyleschubert8640
    @kyleschubert8640 4 роки тому +2

    Lowko, I do not know if you will get this but I want to say that you have inspired me so much to get myself back into starcraft. I bought Wings of liberty when it came out (as did most of us) and I just straight up sucked in the Ranked matchups and I am a very competitive player naturally so this was hugely frustrating that I SC2 was only for those that spent years playing this game. You showed me this is not the case. Your stream and the things you point out have been incredible when I think about my strategies in starcraft and how I can improve. I got a real long way to go but your stream has brought me from a tier 3 low level silver player to a top 5 in my tier 3 platinum league in such a short time, I call that a victory! I have you to thank for teaching me how to look specifically at certain pros and learn their build orders and "get gud".
    I have finally found the part I love about starcraft which is: getting better strategies, improving on strategies and play some ggs with other folks across the world with a super challenging game.
    Thank you Lowko!!

I've stopped for many years and recently started up again cause of these videos. It really is quite impressive the level of skill these young people possess in this game. Absolutely impressive!! I feel it doesnt get the recognition it deserves. After all these years I still have no doubt I could not get up to the skill level of these sickening professionals, and what surprises me the most is how young they are. Good for them finding a career based off playing video games extremely well

    53:36 That queen dying was actually the nail in the coffin for that game. It meant Serral couldn't shoo away those liberators, so that base was essentially dead. He had 80 workers to 61, but with only 3 active bases, it didn't matter. At that moment, he was behind in army, behind in upgrades, and suddenly behind in economy.

    Wow. I wish I could have watched Clem as he was playing that 5th game. You would probably just see a blur in the general vicinity of the keyboard....

    I had to play it back TWICE before I (easily) spotted them 😆😭

    So Grand Overmind Serral met the Queen of Blades in a bar. They dated and got married, and had a child, And they named the child Serral Kerrigan.
    You can't make this stuff up. :D

    I think that Serral was tired in the last one... he could change to roaches, but he maintains his zerling-bane composition too much ... even he gives up on using mutas and Clem made a medivac drop-lift party at the end...

    Glad to see Serral is human after all.

    Adaptability. That's the word you are looking for. Clem took in information, processed his mistakes, and capitalized on his opponents weaknesses. That's the difference. Grand-master players can take very little information, assessed in very little time, and turn it into tactical action to out play an opponent. That's the real skill.
