- It finally happened! Serral versus Maru in a best-of-3 series of StarCraft 2. These two have somehow managed to dodge each other in many tournaments, but today it's finally time to watch them face off against one another.

One thing that I really love about Lowko's casts is that he never assumes his viewers are pros at the game and always includes explanations of little details that newcomers may not know yet
He probably understands that a lot of his viewers are new players or non players who just enjoy watching
This is exactly why I watch him
@@ss5gogetunks i thought i was on minority by non-players who just enjoy watching these vids. now i feel there are alot like me
@@ghostgurl17 yep!
Personally I just started playing after getting into it from watching, but competitive mode is too stressful so I mostly just play coop
@@ghostgurl17 Join the club! :)
this entire video is what happens when an unstoppable zerg meets and immovable terran.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
@@user-il5og4tq5c No, Zerg players are known for rapid expansion and throwing units to opponent while Terran players turtling and some drops
Lol yeah!!
I remember Maru managed to stay alive for 20 minutes with less than 1000 minerals while the zerg has more than 2000 minerals by 8 mn or sth. It was hell.
@@SanityDrop not really tho zerg is a reactive race and terran is an aggressive race.
Really missing the minerals/gas per second. The worker amount tells so much less about eco situation than actual income per second.
Let's say zerg has 90 workers and 2 mining bases you'll think he's in a good spot even though his income is barely 1.2k/min while terran with 30 scvs and 3 mining bases and mules looks bad by worker count but his income is near 2.5k/min
Totally agree with this!
Totally. The other layout had the direct comparison, plus it often showed APM as well. Those up/down arrows on this layout are just not as meaningful.
100%. The new view has so much less information :/
If both players in midd or late game lose all workers. Zerg can make them all again in 15 sec. while terran not, thats one of some reasons. Like prottos with boost.
@@draackon You explaining why mules exist but we speak about mineral income they give which can't be seen with this UI but with old you can see when mules landed
Overlord increases speed by a barley noticeable amount "There ya go! look how fast that guy is, insane!" haha
What about a wheat noticeable amount?
@@alterego3734 the overlord seemed to hop along at twice the speed.
@@alterego3734 😂
I read this just as he said it XD
Best game ever this week!
This is exactly how I envision fighting the Zerg: constant, gigantic, relentless waves of claws, fangs, exploding acid balls of horror coming at you nonstop from all angles and youre way outnumbered all the time, everybody dying in most horrific ways all around you. Soldiers daying by the hundreds, by the thousands in seconds.
be a marine is a suicide job,
Yeah, it looked like the Heart of the Swarm Trailer
Oh no the soldiers are daying that’s horrific
Holy shit, Serral vs. Maru?! Hells yeah!
"Serral is currently in the beautiful country of Europe, in the city of Finland."
Oh my god Lowko, I have a cold, I'm going to die if you make another joke that fresh. LOL
Kinda reminding me of "england is my city
I am also from the city of Sweden
55:40
I'm normal korean and don't know why u guys call this sentence is a joke
@@user-yu2fy4id5m Europe is a continent, not a country, and Finland is a country, not a city. You could argue that the joke is a reference to the European Union, but that's not necessary.
I have changed My mind, I prefer the info of the priveus overlay.
Yeah I prefer the WCS whatever HUD because it shows the Minerals/min and Gas/min.. It gives me an idea on who's behind or ahead.. Whether it would be they are being pressured or their enemy has more bases etc.. APM is shown on the previous one too..
@@BGLoscar äĄsäďe
@Dieter Gaudlitz Good for you
@@BGLoscar Good to see that I am not cazy.
The new one needs a few changes such as a number in blue or red who tells you who's mining more minerals and gas, instead of the ticks
"Ultrali... I mean Overlord." They have about as much health and firepower anyway so why not.
Ultralisks dream of becoming Overlords when they grow up
At least Overlords fly
@@elfoyoutube6039 Overlords>Ultralisks confirmed.
@@ZCasavant or better, Zerglings.
That’s savage!
"These aren't the kind of guys to lose to stupid stuff."
You mean like forgetting Adrenal Glands and Combat Shield?
and 1 1?
But Lowko also mentioned that they are, indeed, humans :)
What if, at their level, forgetting those things ISN'T stupid? *cue X-Files theme music*
Stupid stuff? You mean like spending an entire game of delicate footsies with your opponent only to drop a nuke on your own fleet in the 11th hour?
Last time I was this early, I had not enough minerals
Fun fact - the word Juggernaut (an unstoppable force) comes from the word "Jagannatha." So you could actually call it Juggernaut LE!
it means overwhelming force, not exactly unstoppable, but thanks for the fun fact sir.
@@ghostgurl17 Whoops my mistake - thanks for the clarification!
sounds like Japannese trying to say juggernaut in their english?
Sometimes i wish they renamed the Ghost to something like Marksman, so Terrans could go MMMM.
Also, i immagine creep smells like rotting kelp at the shore after a few days in the sun. Has somewhat the same look as well
right now it's MMMHM
That's a really vivid picture that I can no longer ever go against. Thanks, I hate it. I'm probably supposed to hate it, but I absolutely do.
Hey you can still got for MMMM: Marine, Marauder, Medivac, Mine. Maru even did that throughout the series!
My go-to build is the Marine/Marauder/Medivac/Mine/Missile Turret/Mediocre Macro (MMMMMMM)
Personally, I choose to believe that creep smells like cherries. Or maybe plums. Also Banelings are lemon-lime flavoured and chocolate covered Zerglings are delicious.
Either that or I'm just hungry.
Pretty sure creep smells like beats.
Starcraft 2 is a simple game: two players fight it out and Serral wins.
Give Ultras the aberration ability from coop, they should be able to walk over lings, banes, marines, and zealots. Also keep their attack a melee but have like 1 or 2 range. Would be a way less derpy unit with these changes
Yeah, zerg is way to weak better buff them. :P
@@vir042 It wouldn't really be a buff. More of a QoL change.
@@vir042 if other races had units has derpy as Ultras I'd want them fixed too. It just looks bad. They are barely useable
@@vir042 Zerg is too strong, but ultras are shit. This buff would be good for ultras, making them usable, but Zerg needs a production nerf, like a larvae cap.
Right because the Zerg need a buff lmao
Creep is a soft suede on the touch and smells minty like all the zergs.
13:00 sends banelings to trade but also check for widow mines then he goes in for the surround when it's all clear. Neat move.
Me in diamond: right-click and then a-move. Such skill!
Thanks LOWKO! Great commentary as always!! Can’t believe we finally got to see them play against each other!
I've actually already seen this match on another channel. But it's still worth watching just because of Lowko's super in-depth commentary. I love it.
New UI is clean and all, but I really miss the old overlay with this once in a blue moon matchup
“This is probably the highest match of Zerg versus Terran you’ll ever see...” no no no, the highest match of TvZ was the 4v4 pro archon that you streamed about 4 months ago.
can u add the link below this comment
pls do it i would love to see it
Plus 1
ua-cam.com/video/qU5HmyLz6xA/v-deo.html
The mengsk voice line for Zerg is something like “ you have to place that on creep. I don’t care how it smells” so it probably doesn’t smell that good
I love your ability to watch a replay, then watch it again and commentate on it as though it's totally new to you. That and your excitement during these matches are signs of a top tier commentator.
Thats not how he does it.
@@PeekabooEUDK listen to the words coming out of his mouth, that's what he describes every other video.
0:55 "...none other than serral."
*Dramatic music plays*
Lowko: These guys are incredibly good and don't make any big mistakes.
Serral+Maru: Hold my beer there.
Well with creep being BioMass, and from what I've seen most biomass is meaty beings, I doubt Xreep would smell like decaying leaves. More like decaying flesh, miles and miles of decaying flesh.
Mmmmmm making me hungry! For the swarm!!
If creep is basically a field of intestines, I imagine it as if you put meat in the compost, a sorta slightly decomposing meat, but earthy.
It's not decaying when it's spreading.
Probably only smells like death when it's being cleared. Probably smells like nothing when it's alive. As it probably doesn't have pores.
I was gonna say it probably smells like oily pork or something
That was an awesome best of 3! Thanks for the awesome commentary as always!
If Serral continues to play like that, the zerg will be nerfed into having 1 hp and 1 damage.
i feel its more balanced (on these guys lvl of gameplay) but less fun.. i miss more spellcasters in TvZ.. also im glad to see more muta plays but sad that ghosts mass produced like that, arent they supposed to be specialists working solo missions or something...
he will still win as well
@@ghostgurl17 i honestly think sometimes that starcraft may have to one day make like 2 versions because balancing a game for normal people and professionals in impossible. Like units that have high ceiling caps for skill and massive amounts of potential value are going to be really hard to balance so that a normal player can use them but a pro can't be o with them.
@@ghostgurl17 still beats serral wining games in the past by winfestors alone. Ahhh, good old times when you get talked down for daring to say that they were broken
@@MrZiva82 yeah i guess if we say that zerg will have a 60%-40% advantage on economy on every map, having something so efficient as infestors will be broken at the late game. so they solve it by having ghosts even more efficient but then the ghost are just destroying every zerg late game units now which is the same when winfestors are prevalent. im thinking maybe ghost should do 70%-80% snipe damage against air units since they already have thors to counter broods.
First vid with the new UI and I like it a lot the larger icons make it more engaging to watch because you can follow the action and commentary with a seamless transition. allowing for an informative but not intrusive visual. good choice hope you keep using this ui
I haven't played Starcraft 2 for at least 3 years. As much as much as I love it it just stresses me out too much. Still come to your channel occasionally lowko for a splurge. Your enthusiasm for it is infectious. Great content and commentary.
Serral: "Discombobulate."
41:55 .. you know its Serral if you see 100 lings in the production tab 😂😂👍🏼
The widow mine scatter seems like such an effective meta
It's probably tricky, as many things. It works great against a regular run-by, but in turn it can just be cleaned up regularly and those costs will start adding up. Additionally it's a lot of supply that, 90% of the time, isn't where it's sorely needed. And finally, particularly good players can negate it with cheeky moves as we saw.
55:42 “Serral is currently in the beautiful country of Europe ... in the city of Finland.”
????? You good there Lowko?
Maru`s playlist for tournaments:
Run to the CC`s
Fear of the swarm
Number of the lings
Raven`s high
All written by Iron Fortress, right?
Serral: Lets purposefully ignore ling attack speed upgrade to flex.
maru: OMG must flex harder, NO 1-1 AND MARINE SHIELD UPGRADE NEXT ROUND...
Lowko: It is probably NA server bad ping...ultra is the worst zerg bois...
Me: I am silver league and I can do that!! Yes I can!
Love this guy, didn't realize it before but not once has he asked me to subscribe until know. I've watched like a dozen videos. Thanks bro ypu really are a G. Hope you never stop these amazing vids!!
Great cast Lowko, was fun watching maru get cut down a size
serral : *hear boss music*
maru : *hear boss music*
Lowko : "alright, what i've got for you today...."
The series we were waiting for and the games we were hoping for!
This series should be called: "Pro players forgetting important upgrades every game and losing games for it." Just goes to show how on the edge they are playing vs each other.
That was an awesome match.
I've been watching a ton of your videos, most of them from months ago. It's pretty funny listening to you talk about certain builds as terrible now, when they were everything a few months ago, or even last patch.
Small changes, big changes.
I love the enthusiasm you cast with. It's more important than you also play okay.
52:43 okay, guilty. subscribed, broh!
52:17 instruction unclear: Florencio is now your sensei
Hey lowko, long time fan I haven't commented much though, but I haven't played starcraft for years but I watch these games that you cast and put on your UA-cam channel religiously. Thanks for the content, keep it up.
1:02:27 Yo! Lowko is a sabaton fan! Awesome!
I've stopped playing SC2 years ago... But I never miss a Lowko upload!
You know when you had a glass of milk and some orange juice at night, didn't brush your teeth and slept all night long with through your mouth until is is completely dry.
Then the next morning you turn towards your wife and say "Good morning, darling." And then she turns her eyes up until you only see white?
That is what creep smells like.
OMG what a series! Serral ultimate God!
TX Lowko for the much much fun cast!! GJ
Lmao "shooting on everyone".
You're the best Lowko !!
You could fit in one Bo5 PvP and one Bo5 ZvZ combined during this single Bo3! Great games, great players, great caster :)
man that spore crawler timing on the first match... it reminds me of one of the last matches of jaedong vs flash where he defends a rush with EXACTLY the right number of drones pulled. shit was ridiculous.
Cool commentary man, i learn a lot from it
Kinda specific but I like the little arrows that indicate who is ahead in resource income on the new UI, very easy to read
Starcraft's manual says creep is acidic. So I think it either smells sour or like a swamp.
serral splits lings against widow mines like an advanced AI 😂
the GOAT wins!
Not like Reynor cant do it himself.
Zerg splits units - Godlike. Terran splits units - k.
@@CurrencyPrime that's impressive too but less so because as far as I remember terran doesn't have bullet-speed melee units 🤔
It'$ about time! Sc2 should organize a show match between these two many many times!!
3 p.m. in my time zone. oh!it's lowko !finally !
I don't even play SC2, but I still like watching Lowko cast it XD
Now let's see Maru playing zerg vs Serral playing terran.
nice video! I like ur commentary! I hit F10 so many times to pause this video. lmao
Love it.... thanks for the review
Hey, Lowko! I wasn't subscribed to your channel but I cant wait for your SC2 videos! Would love to play with you sometime!
At the bottom of the screen where it shows minerals and gas there are red arrows pointing down that blink. It seems only the ones in the minerals are blinking, and it looks like the first has to be on for the second one to turn on. What is that? do they mean anything?
Studying will have to wait
I can tell you play the game because your casting is so accurate and seems like second nature. That kind of understanding can only come from so many hours fully immersed.
Really enjoyed the cast
Third time I watch this series now on different channels. Everytime, I am sad cause of the first game. Still you get my upvote.
There's a rumour that Serral didn't get adrenal gland to challenge himself and flex. He didn't forget.
I have yet to ever play online but I love watching these videos
Maru didn’t get a chance to lose before he got to Serral this time.
that's because it was the very first series of the group stage of the tournament 😛
Would be better so see them play in the Winner Match, which is BO5 in this tournament.
Here's to hoping they make it to the finals and give us another epic series.
Lowko, try playing the odyssey custom campaign of StarCraft 2, it has some of the most creative features and some of the most amazing gameplay mechanics I've ever seen.
The best thought process ever on mid match
35:25 Creep smells like grape soda and pine needles. Except when Terran are around. Then it just smells like dead marines.
Mushrooms and wet gauze with maybe a hint of beef.
Tasty
I wish there was a visual change when units gets 1 1 or 2 2 like each upgrade makes them look more cooler
35:39 "AAHHCK!" so hillarious xD
That second game after the 16 minute mark was sooo frustrating to watch. It was like those characters in the movies who already get beaten and you know there is no way for them to win, but not giving up until they finally get killed. As soon as i saw that 70% of the map was zerg infested, there is simply no point of keeping the fight, especially when you play against the top zerg player.
Serral learned to play zerg from the AI... and then perfect it.
I STOPPED PLAYING WHEN I GOT MY ACTUAL CAREER JOB, WHICH IS THE SAME TIME HUSKY STOPPED MAKING VIDEOS AS WELL. I JUST SUBED LIKE 3 DAYS AGO. THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNIER VIDEOS. GOOD JOB.
MAKES ME WANT TO PLAY AGAIN.
I love these casts. But honestly I would love to like watch some of these games and spectate them myself. How does one do that?
Never played star craft but love watching the game played at such a high level
Wow what a historic match! The first ever match in which Lowko tries to pronounce Jagannatha LE!
I found a Lowkomon in the tall grass on Lightshade LE. I tried to catch it with a Disruptor ball but it 'sploded :(
been wanting to see this for a while XD
Thanks for the episode~
Already hit the like button even I haven't started watching it yet. :D
Hit the like button while i started reading this and had to smile :) (also before watching the video ofc)
Great cast as alwasy Lokow, I was wondering, did you ever consider to get into supreme commander?
Without the new overlay, I would have never noticed Serral building a greater spire and getting upgrades ready to transition to Brood Lords in the last game. Thanks!
That first match felt bad. Missing THAT important upgrade at that level of play... It's like If Thor forgot the name of his hammer.
@40:15 Sorry Lowko, but you should leave the singing to Harstem 😂
Yesssssss hyped up already for the ultimate match
amazing battle.
"I gotta fire shots at someone, okay? Apparently everyone's the way to go." Taking the Eminem approach I see
43:50 Lowko doing his best Borrat impression
Winter reminds me of Eric from that 70s show.
What tournament is this.? It would be nice to see it in description or title of the video.
2 gods duking it out!
I have been a firm believer in hitting the subscriber button every time they ask, every time. It’s a 50/50 if I’m unsubscribe or not depend on even or odd number videos I watch.
