14:40 Serral gets the ling in and scouts with it while Elazer's scouting ling gets caught and killed immediately. These little things are what separates serral from everyone else, seems like he's figured out exactly how to get that ling in every single game. Blows my mind how consistent he is at it.
One of the most important aspects that seperates Serral from nearly everyone else is his attention to cost efficiency. He simply does not waste units in vain. Not even zerglings. Everyone else seems to fail to take diminishing margins into factor. For example let's say there is a run by that consists of 10 zerglings and suppose they killed 5 workers before the opponent could react. Most of the players throw the remaining zerglings away for 1 or 2 more worker kills. But when you think about it trading 8-9-10 zerglings for 1 or 2 workers is not cost-efficient, even though trading 10 lings with 7 workers in overall is. On the other hand, trading 1 or 2 zerglings for 5 workers and escaping with the rest when the opponent reacts is amazing cost efficiency. These little gains add up and snow ball into a giant advantage. What I'm getting at, I believe that's why he did not kill those two bases in game 4. Not because of miscalculation, on the contrary because of excellent calculation of diminishing margins. He knew he can come back soon and take those almost dead bases out so there were no need to throw away units in a macro game like that. Big respect to him. He and Maru are on a different level than the rest.
He also uses Vipers solely to pull in gas heavy units and retreats even when he could clean it up because he might lose his Vipers in the process and while that may be a victory in one battle overall, it does not grant him the game. He slowly drains his opponents resources where ever he can, what a demon
@@MrTorstein Yeah, I also was wondering where Part 3 is. I didn't find it on Afreeca's channel, but "Starcraft" had it here: ua-cam.com/video/QPbvkLBlHQU/v-deo.html
These kind of games are so exhausting to play. When I used to play 1 v 1 and took it super seriously I had to quit in the middle of a game like this once because I just spazzed out, heart was racing, etc.
@@rocksparadox Yes lol. You can barely keep up with what's going on when you're silver league. Then when it's silver vs silver it's just a gong show lol
31:10 :/ the commentators keep saying serral is getting the better trades but all I see is that elazer is sniping all serral's vipers and losing maybe a couple hydras in return.
I know tastosis like to hype things up a bit. But there really was no mystery as to why serral won: he spent his money and was therefore maxed, thus with a bigger army. Elazer at multiple points hung out at 180 or 170. Damn, even lings are better than nothing.
thats actually wrong bro,nothing can be better than lings in MANY situations. Think about this a bit and I think you will understand that just getting LINGS dose NOTHING vs mass lurker XD.
Luke Goodson take a look at 29:54. dudes got larvae, minerals, and gas galore. 166 supply. goes on for over 2 minutes. serious oversight, prolly could've won.
@@tomleszczynski2862 look at whats going on at 29:54 he is trying to think of what to do not just hold down Z. supply is worthless if it dose nothing for you but take supply.
Luke Goodson I made the zergling comment as a bottom comparison. he could've, and should've, made vipers, hydras, etc. serral had problems too but his supply was almost always maxed. I hope my comments didn't offend you.
im sorry everyone, but tasteless is the worst professional commentator. someone has to give him some military strategy to read because he has no vision in the game. Its a mockery of western professional gaming for sure. Hes probably a nice guy and sincerely tries to do a good job but nothing he says ever holds true and hes been doing that job for how long?? like, even his softball predictions swing back and slap him in the face more often than not.
Well he's not known for his top-level analysis, but for his hype-casting. It was funny when both maynarde and tasteless were casting serral vs trap, I think it was... Lol nonstop hype casting, funny AF 😂
@@darkphoenix00001 I agree he can be funny and properly perceived, but Artosis deserves better, and we deserve better for the finals. Tasteless should be relegated to preliminary games
I think zvz is the most boring to watch, but it must be so stesfull. Its a bit unfortunate that there is a "best" strategy in zvz, so a lotof mirror builds. LOVE SC2
Thanks you, i'm not even subscriber, but it appear in my youtube page. FYI it'll be broadcast in french in 2 hours : team match, ro4 then final. So, a big thank you GSL, to spoil me the final, now the ro4 are useless to watch.......... Can't you wait one day to upload those ? Seriously.....
If you're not a subscriber then it's not the channels fault it showed up in your page, it's UA-cam's recommendations fault. And how is the ro4 now useless to watch? Knowing the result doesn't detract from good games of sc.
@@Curie72 I was only halfway through special vs classic, and I only watch terran matchups. This does in fact ruin the point of watching the rest of the matches.
@@Syberz2 boo hoo poor you, can't enjoy a good starcraft match after seeing who wins and not even enjoying the part how did they win or how your favorites lose? Boohoo cry cry cry.
Blame UA-cam for recommending it to you. Also, it's from AfreecaTV's own livestream. Once the program is over it's automatically uploaded anyway. It's your own fault for not being up to date, so suck it up and enjoy the content. Hell, you can even subscribe to this channel for the latest updates. They're the ones in charge of GSL after all.

Where is part 3? I cant find it.
I am also having problems with this. Seems like it has been taken down by copyright or something =(

thanks for this fantastic tournament! i've had more fun with this than Blizzcon!
Is SC 3 ever gonna come out?
Tassels, 10:50 is extremely late game?

Is silver league ZvZ really that taxing?
As long as it doesn't involve arrogant, pink haired biznatches, it's all guuud.
@@rocksparadox Yes lol. You can barely keep up with what's going on when you're silver league. Then when it's silver vs silver it's just a gong show lol

it almost felt like a cat playing with a mouse when Serral didn't kill those 2 hatcheries.
that girl at 4:00 tho
If you watch GSL Code S, you'll see much more of her.
@@ThePepperkingXY Wait is that Gyuri??
@@finnyip2815 Damn straight!
WHO IS THAT SEMEN DEMON
Finn Yip
Whatever floats your boat, only hipster weeb wiglets say ''tho'' as if it means something.
Feel the two weakened hatcheries caused Elazer to overcommitt to defense but what do I know.
Both maxed at 18-19minute, Serral got 53 larva vs Elazers 16 T_T;;
nvm, 22:10, 77 vs 9 O.O
zvZ is dope
9:20 Break out that FOOTBALL VOICE!
2:33 Tastosis Jersey ;)
Which noise cancelling bluetooth headphones should i buy for less than 150 bucks?
I know they are PRO but they always missing a point. They should use Viper to yank those Overseer so they have no vision to do stuff with the viper!
That Game 4 man, wow

The captain is called obvious and the malfuction is major.
game 4 serral vs elazer, I have been shouting FUNGLE for 20 mins. Elazer cant hear me or thinks im shit :X
10:00 Everybody's reaction in the crowd is literally ":O"
Who on earth told them to do that stupid stuff with their hands in their pictures?
Now its StarCraft with Tastosis at the mic
the world vs the world. the world win.
Serral just looks so ANGRY all the time
It is called FOCUSED
no nydus = no win.
ZOOM OUT!
Serral will Finnish all challengers
Serral likes to play with his food
