I love how calm and collected Zest is. Never broke his cool
Cool and collected except for that weird thing he does with his neck 14:09 42:00
his water bottle was shakey. You can't be a human being and not feel the nerves in a situation like this
Never seen Serral so visibly shaken. He's very disappointed in himself; at this level of play he feels he can't be making those mistakes. Guess what Serral, you're human. It's ok. You're still a great player
Yea at least he knows he fucked up unlike players online that talks shit to opponents when they are losing lol i never understood that. Salty
@@AKA.SV9 I mean I used to do that out of frustration just talk shit but I'm starting to realize I'm really only mad at myself looking to take it out on someone else to admit the problem so yea I am not so good diamond 2 zerg trying to hit masters, no more blaming others only myself.
@@manny100pips9 i used to grind a lot in dota 2 so i kno i can get tilted and very angry even at the smallest mistakes my teams make. But that was a long time ago. I still get tilted but under control of my emotions and try to be positive. Definitely translated when i play sc2. I dont think ive ever got mad just more frustrated cause i didnt know how to win.
reloadingdontshoot1 yes
because freaking Gay-toss is OP
this stage looks really great doesn't it
The level they play on is insane, it looks easier than it is I mean I’m gold league but I sit back for about 10 minutes at least, and they start pressure so early and it never ends, insane
@IhateECHOES That is one of the evilest things I've ever read
@IhateECHOES Holy crap, dude, you are an evil genius
@@shinjukim8576 rather evil loser
@John Smith playing the campaign will not make him improve his rank in the ladder
I know I'm not the best to say it, but at gold as good as 5-6 mins should be a good time to apply a bit of presure, 10 minutes gives the rival way too much time to scout your tech and prepare countermessures
Man, this was intense. Truly high-level plays.
war.. war never changes... the eternal finno-korean hyper war continues..
2024, Serral is still dominating them
Thanks for uploading so fast
The comment section is full of the best SC2 players LoL
Tricky why thank you
wrr, cepux, say any nmw and any s ok
Wait, mom comebacks are are thing again?
mom
Better than serral
Good to hear your voices again, awesome commentators :-).
he was so happy and relaxed at the first games and after them so frustrated, unbelieveable
These guys are both amazing.
I have a final exam in the morning and I’m watching star craft at 3 am. I don’t even like starcraft.
Certified Fresh I know this feeling. good luck!
dude, check this out ua-cam.com/video/arj7oStGLkU/v-deo.html
@@magneat Best comment ever
LOL. Thanks for the laugh and I hope you did well on your exam!
3:16 here 10 minutes in and I’m already hooked
The hallucinated colossus mindgame was truly next level. Zest knew that Serral would figure out that it was a fake. Because he had denied all of Serral's scouting information with his phoenix play, and because of how this map is laid out, the only scouting information Serral was able to get was from the robo at the front. You can see him checking to see if its cronoboosting or not and checking to see what comes out.
Serral sees colossus (indicates late game), figures out it's a fake (indicates a bluff for space, ie tech development), and then gets blindsided by an attack that doesn't rely on robo at all. Pretty masterful work by zest, he deserves the win
At 50:23 there was a weird adept shot starting from the top right corner of the screen and hitting a roach at the bottom right corner. That must be the longest ranged hit of the series.
Wow, good eye! I guess the animation was just starting as the Adept shaded, and the firing sequence began from the new location. Very weird indeed!
What a legendary clash. Serral did quite well but Zest played at a masterclass level. Bravo amigos both fought well
Zest was on another level this series, GG
too bad he got smashed by Rouge in the Final.
I like Zest as interesting toss. I also really like Serral as amaizing zerg. It does not matter for me who wins. It is a great battle!
Well one thing I love is people outside Korea are doing so well..... this helps starcraft grow ..... great match well done zest .... amazing serral
After saying your "UNBEATABLE" & the best in the world in an interview during this tournament, I'm glad serral lost. Even though I'm a fan & would like to see him in the gsl. Zest was on fire up to this point & it showed.
@Tristan Han he won Blizzcon in 2018 and GSL vs the World in both 2018 and 2019 lmao, what a dumbass comment
@Tristan Han Lmfao I'm not talking about the team event of GSL vs the World dumbass, I'm talking about the MAIN EVENT, which is a ro16 1v1 individual tour with bo5 matches up until the bo7 final, which he won 2 years in a row. Do you even watch pro sc2 or do you just like making a fool of yourself in the comments section?
@Tristan Han uh, u do know that gsl vs the world has individual competition too right? liquipedia.net/starcraft2/2018_GSL_vs._the_World it's not only bo1 team event...
Whats the name of the song in the breaks for example min 43:00 - 44:20
Music during pauses like at 42:50, what's dat? Can be found somewhere?
I’m loving this comment section.
So much salt.
Makes me wanna start playin sc again
Did you even read the comment section or is this your standart attention comment? Doesnt look like you read it
Why is the game's OST being played twice at the same time in the first game?
Man, Serral's human after all...
Yeah he was showing too much humanity i think its getting on his way
Remember zerg was also op at that time
@@JoshT4life I agree that about zerg, but I hope you know that 'at that time' is actually now - this match was 'new', played on 1st March 2020. Zest makes it look ez playing toss vs Serral, but still Rogue won the tournament.
Lol, serral was never that good, everyone was jus hyping him cos he had an OP race and his zvz was pretty good meaning he dominated in the only fair match up in Starcraft for about a year and a half of Zerg imba patch. New balance patch and he is right out that door
@@jameswong4837 Dude, he has the best win/lose ratio from the pro matches, and there're plenty of zerg players out there. Nvm, what I meant is that for the first time I saw him playing like a human, making mistakes. Usually, he plays like a computer, calculating everything and even if he loses, it seems like he plays very optimal. In these matches, he made a lot of mistakes I feel.
Please What's the name of songs name on beginng of the match? Thank you
What Keyboards are they using???? Thanks
1:00:45 Serral shaking hands is so painful to watch
thats the adrenalin doing its work
wrr, relaxed nmw
51:08
Got a taste of his own medicine, getting destroyed :D
Byun Champion ✌️☺️
Awesome play of Zest
Whats the soundtrack on the start of game 2
Zest is the man of miracle....... He could beat anyone and can also be beaten by anyone
Definitely can't be beaten by anyone lol
@@TheDba82 Really? Cause he lost the finals right after this.
@@DemBigOlEyes does it mean that he can be beaten by anyone?
@@DemBigOlEyes to rogue, the best player in the world. Hardly anyone
id like to see people utilize Overseers more often, theres so much value to them using Contaminate and slowing down production and economy during early and mid game.
Ty
I missed this game let’s go season 7
I think sometimes the commentary has a gap to leap over to understand the level that the players are on and(game 2 end for example) it leaves the people who don't understand what's going on with a gap in their understanding of what actually took place. They can perceive that something took place that wasn't actually going to. The wizards aren't afk like the announcers are...
just unbelievable seeing serral lose...like FINALLY!!!
whats the songname at 3:34 before every game? thank you
i want to know too
It's probably a custom guitar rift made just for esl. It sounds really easy to make. Copy right stuff
It's called random guitar noise.
haven't seen the finals yet, but zest is already the champ in my eyes. amazing game.
nice timed push from zest in game 5 after all
zest打得真是好！
LOL, Serral was up 2 -1 and I was about to write that it ruins the result when you know the video length because you can predict from the score who will win, and just as I'm about to type it Zest wins 2 games in the final 10 minutes when for sure I thought serral had this, brilliant.
Well, that was rather twatish of you.
Zest superb strategies, honestly can't believe he won, congrats!
Is this the first time Zest beat Serral?
Yea
nice!!
these players are StarCraft monks of wisdom
Serral v Maru will never happen unfortunately T_T
It has happen back in 2018, it was a best of 3. geez...
Sadly it does not happen very often, I would be ok with a Serral vs TY/Cure though
I saw it live
It happened Maru wiped the floor with drug boy!!
Based on Maru's performance against Dark, i'd say it would be epic, but my money is on Maru.
Game 1: 3:55 ***** SPOILERS BELOW (by implication, if you click 'Read More') *****
Game 2: 15:35
Game 3: 30:40
Game 4: 45:40
Game 5: 52:00
thanks a lot!
thank you sir
Thanks bruv
Zest outplayed him, gg !
@John Smith some people are stupid enough to read the comment section instead of actually watching the video first.
noob
Be strong serral, you are still the champion to me. Learn from your mistake and prepare better for next time.
Serral can just never catch a break.
anyone know what headset they are using? thanks
they use earbuds of their choice, think zest was using maybe razor ones (green wire)? but not sure
the "headsets" are just for noise cancel so that they cant hear the casters
thanks. i was trying to figure out the noise cancelling ones. i think they are bose headsets
Starcraft 2 tournament! Exciting.
The moment, when you don't get up but someone else comes congratulates you first time. 1:00:25
Oh yes that's his sweat of fear in my hands 1:00:40
what's a dog shrine?
Music? 00:00
I hope Zest doesn't get speed run in the finals like he did vs. Maru in GSL and lost 4 matches in under 30 minutes.
I'm sure like most people, I really wanted to see a Serral vs Maru finals. We can all keep hoping!
Oh.. My God Zute!!!
bien merecido
hmm i found the handshakes at the end a little short to be honest, but i saw this in many games, tho
it's called "being Korean" lol
yo... i think zest works out... you see his arms and back?@!
These K players have the best handles...Zest, Special, Innovation, Stats, Classic and of course Maru....
the missmicro on the banelings that just pooped out when zest attacked him last game was painfull :/
i think he could have defended that attack maybe if he used the bains that pooped out on the first wave of zealots.
that would have been all zealots instantly gone maybe even some bainling damage on the archons too.
the zerglings / raoches would kill the archons that are like 1/2 dead and than its "only" zealots and phenix.
Damn zest 🤯
They were so even on supply in 2nd game, why did serral gg'ed ?
Bcause he saw zest eye of the tiger
The supply was eggs that were in production not the army that were out and ready to fight
had the same thought as you but as others have mentioned, the supply is deceiving because half of it was in eggs and Zest would have had around 20 seconds of free rein over Serral's 4th. Supply tells the story 90% of the time but this is the 10% of the time where it doesn't ig.
yeah, i too thought that Serral had a bad habit of gg too early. Maybe he should play for a bit longer. I suppose Serral did not see the enemy's supply or army size?
Also zerg early and mid-game army can lose to toss army at even double supply. Not cost efficient at all
Go protoss !!!!
wow i'm just shocked. I can't believe he actually lost.
The comments here... smh... people are calling him bad. Dude lost in the semifinals, 3-2. It was very, very close. The guys been playing PERFECT games for the past couple years, roflcopter stomping the biggest names, barely loses, and now people call him bad.
dont get mad dude, the peaple normally are ignorant
Just one year of domination. MC, Polt, and many other greats dominate for more than 3 years. Serral is just a patch zerg during an OP zerg era. Once zerg gets balance to what it should be. Bye Serral.
@@acidosis1985 Damn dude you're really on here posting like 50 angry anti-Serral comments on one single vid LMAO yikes, get a life
@@thesoundofsilence77 more like spreading the truth of over hyped zerg player
@@acidosis1985 Ah yes, an "overhyped" player with the 2nd highest earnings of any sc2 player ever. Why are you so upset at another player's success? Are you okay man?
were there no audiences becuase of the virus or becuase sc is just losing fans ?
Hayden It's because of the virus. Whole IEM Katowice event is without a crowd.
Losing fans because no more new korean players, the game is dull/boring with no new changes and Zerg OP for the last two years.
@@acidosis1985 bro XD crowd wasnt allowed because of the coronavirus
Zest dropping some dope walls in Game 2
As someone who tries to achieve the best in everything, being a bit below expectation is super frustrating. Back when I was a kid, showing my parents a 70 when I almost always get above 90 is so crushing. Maybe the reason Koreans are always at the top of competitions is partially because of the type of support they get in situations like these. There’s no one to belittle you in times of failure. I’m not familiar with Korean culture, but I simply hate it when some people start saying Serral is no longer as good as he was before and then start disrespecting his efforts. If people are willing to express this publicly against anyone who performs below expectations, I’d say we don’t deserve more winners like Serral.
Koreans parents are quite harsh when their offspring fails.
@Tristan Han in korea its true and the 1st gen's in the states
I hope there's a battle for 3rd!
Is it just me or since the last patch the ratio of a game going into late game is soooooo rare?
Nobody wants to go into lategame vs Zerg. Toss and Terran will try to finish it no matter what
@@ldragodestroy4 well i think this is bas for the audience
Nah you just dont want to go late game against the best player in the world
@@trixzify He means Zerg as a race specifically though. They have a stronger lategame than Protoss at the moment, even after the nerfs.
@@ZC.Andrew Funny how things change in about a year. Now Zerg does NOT want to do late game against Skytoss and want to finish it before mid-game.
Wow zest is insane
i can t believe zest won !!!
Zest, finally on his best form! I was so sad about Zest's performance ever since KT was gone. Fuck Life for that.
How old is Serral?
will finish 22 soon
damn gg, not the biggest fan of serral but kinda sad to see him lose finally against a worthy opponent
Personally, I’m kinda ticked. He lost game 2 to a premature GG and got tilted by game 4. It wasn’t even a top tier protoss, it was zest who, while not bad, isn’t exactly in his prime.
Knock knock. Here to mine some salt from serral fangirls
JK Kim fanboy but yeah plenty of salt from me.
@@misspurdy27288 Not in his prime? Zest is definitely in the top 3 Protoss right now. His 2019, I agree, was meh, but in what we've seen of him so far this year, he is definitely one of the top Protoss. He is by far the highest rated Protoss on aligulac.com (we do have to take Aligulac ratings with a pinch of salt, but the fact that it thinks Zest is the best, probably suggests that he is among the best Protoss).
No hate though, just wanted to point out that Serral, although he probably still should have won, he did still go down at the hands of one of the current top Protoss.
Shinju Kim ohh he’s doing amazing this year, but i meant that he’s been around awhile and he’s getting towards the end of his run.
My hundred thousand dollar! Gone!
serral keeping zest in trouble :)
Zest was #1 on EPT rank at this point. I think serral maru and rogue tied for #2
No, this was back in the WCS system, not the current EPT system. And Zest was like No.15 in the KR ranking at the end of that season, he didnt even make it to Blizzon that year.
Is rogue better than serral?
Yes. Serral isnt even that good
Also, where is the match of Serral vs Hurricane? Not gonna post it because Serral got utterly destroyed in that match?
Just realized how giant Serral's hands are... my goodness
Everything in Scandinavian region is Giant :D
Am Scandinavian, can confirm. ;)
Better to play sc2
Zest está tão gostoso e ainda derrotou o (quase) imbatível Serral...
Why would you pull those baneligs at the end Serral? Matchfix?
Nope. Serral sucks. He is a patch zerg, the small zerg nerfs shows it already. Once Zerg become less OP (right now it is still OP), serral can go bye bye
who tf chose the music for them walking out lol
Yeah that was embarassing
Tatu bomba no primeiro jogo destruiu o protoss !!
Remember when we could watch and have lan tourneys
Serall gave the series away when he gave up in the second game when he still had a chance to win.
how big is his chance though ? Not very much I think
He had an equal economy, there were roughly on the same footing, Zest lost almost all his expensive units which is much harder to recover from as a toss. I think Serral is uncomfortable playing unless he has built up an advantage - he is so used to dominating that he cant scrap out wins from behind.
@@faridmk3707 Doesn't look like equal footing to me. At the moment of the GG, Serral was at around 40 army supply while Zest was at 30. The difference is that half of Serral's army supply is on units still in eggs while Zest's entire army supply is already at his front door knocking. Yes, he can probably still clean those immortals up with his ravagers but the reinforcing zealots and the healthy archon make it nearly impossible. If the game went on Zest could and would definitely pull those immortals back until the ravagers are cleaned up and they would have regenerated shields by the time Serral's 20 supply of roaches starts hatching. The 3 ravagers and handful of lings wouldn't stand a chance against that wall of zealots and a healthy archon. Don't let Serral's 43 army supply fool you. Look at the production tab during the moment of the gg and figure out yourself how little Serral actually had at that time. Even pulling all his drones wouldn't have worked because, again, there's a healthy archon he has no answer for.
@@WatchPripara I guess I don't understand zerg as well as I thought I did, thank you for this in depth analysis!
@@faridmk3707 Don't worry, I thought the GG was too early as well when I watched it live. Only after I rewatched it just now did I notice that half of Serral's army supply is on newly queued roaches.
Goddamn it's satisfying to watch a zero get the living shit beat out of them.
Poor Serral :\ he looked so upset at the end
Serral got involved in Zest's psychological warfare.
He was in a bad form that day. I'm so sad for him, he is a player of very rare strength, but indeed he is also a human being. And as we know, shit happens with everyone when we less expecting of it.
@Tristan Han typical gamer being a dick to someone in comments :p
@Tristan Han toxic comment
@Tristan Han You negatively stereotyped him based on one statement and denigrated the discussion into senseless name calling.
cool
Great game. Serral got a little greedy.
3:55
今年的serral已到化3
Can somebody translate? 🙂
@@heoj1N This year Serral made it to 3rd (place).
@@KillerHurdz i think 化3 means 化境第3重, from XIAOSE's poisons before the match said that this year serral made it to the Ascending 3 a very superior level of the game, take ahead of other players a lot, they could be in 化2 or 化1 that cannot compete with 化3 , and then serral was defeated by zest... funny chinese meme lol
@@heoj1N i woult like to have a 3some wich serral
@@KillerHurdz nope bro, 化3 is a new meme in China from SCBoy XiaoSe which means a very very high level. That's the poison milk from xiaose.
Guys can you please tell me the soundtrack of 42:40?
Zest is so smart to fight Serral
Zest is best!
T v Z? What's the point of this match? Just give Serral the thing.
Dont know why, i Hope serral win
I cant believe how cool in general these guys are when they lose the game. If I was Serral in this situation computer would be in at least 25 pieces and all the parts would be flying to the different parts of the hall. At least fiftieth row.
damn those blocks lol
