I love the “standing against overwhelming alien invasion” vibe these fights have.
why TvZ is my favourite match up~
I think the best part of this vid is how expressive Serral is at the end. I think that's the most expressive, non-angry I've ever seen him lmao
yeah!! I think he lost his virginity, he's looking like a man now
I don't think I've ever seen Serral angry? Must be a Finnish thing...
If anything he has seemed disappointed / frustrated more than angry.
that neural parasite on the ghost, then emp. just wow. well done serral
I love that Serral has adapted his playstyle. His 2018 domination was off the back of insane infestor broodlord control. I think when ghosts become such a strong counter to that he struggled. I saw him lose quite often to Clem.
Now he is changing it up so much, even going for early timing attacks and dropperlords and nydus harass. He still uses infestors a lot which I enjoy as they're my favourite zerg unit.
It would also be cool to highlight the final game of ShoWTimE vs Serral, that game was one in a million
thanks for pointing this out, I am going to watch this one straight away
I like how u type out their names proper lol
Finally new content. We missed you dearly
Love the observer in this cast. The pip is super fun to see both perspectives.
Parasiting the ghost to EMP the other ghosts... Brilliant!
Serral has been on a tear lately. It took him a bit to adapt to the zerg nerfs, but he has looked unbeatable as of late. I haven't seen Maru get stomped like this in a while. Literally 4-1 maru and none of the games looked close except for the one he lost which seemed like an early tap.
Watching Serap play is like how I envision Zerg to be like but it’s insane he does this in a competitive setting
has there ever been a maru vs serral game that wasn't a highlight?
Im glad you still provide us with flawless cuts
I was really hoping to see another game between these 2 on your channel. You sure do have some serendipitous timing!
That was a lot more one-sided than I thought it would be...
In Marus webcam Maru was rubbing his hand quite alot in between games, he wasnt at his bestself
@@marcoscuaritegonzales1305 Damn, I hope he is all right.
Excellent casting of excellent games.
Maru's micro and mental discipline in defending against a superior supply count over and over is legendary. Serral's strategic thinking was something else.
Incredible skill from both payers!
I clicked so fast after seeing “finals” and “Maru ve Serral”. 😂😂
You should see the Serral vs Showtime series from the same tournament.
Serral really showing why he's the GOAT. You can audibly hear Showtime say "WTF dude?!" at the end of one special match between them in the series.
There's nothing quite like watching Serral's swarm flood down Maru's defenses, over and over again.
I had to take a shower after that seeing Serral doing Maru dirty like that. It was like watching campaign Terran vs Zerg, Terran getting bled dry and eventually overrun. Serral playing really greedy helped so much against Maru.
Finally, an upload. I was starting to get worried.
25:07 maru taking a page out of mengsk's book there
That neural on the ghost in game 4 was beautiful
Love seeing an expression on Serral's face that isn't deadpan. XD
16:20 commentary here is on point. Might as well take a majority of workers from your well-secured natural expansions and drain the resources from the contested bases that your army already has on lockdown.
I'm surprised it's not done more often when you expect to split the map, or even as a threat against your opponent who is trying to go for a late game map split. Zerg often take those outer bases first, then the Terran will fight its way out and retake them. So why not drain those outer ones first, then come back and finish off the inner bases later?
@@arandombard1197 you risk your workers if you pause your offensive too long for a counter attack probably.
@@arandombard1197 Cos its a very risky move. Do that and both your army and economy is at risk.
@@lordbry470 Yeah, it's a difficult thing to balance. But eventually you will have to move your economy to the outer bases anyway, so now it's at risk but you have no alternatives.
A lot of Zerg - Terran/Protoss games seem to favour Terran in these situations so it feels like it might be worth the risk. Especially as the Terran/Protoss often just turtles knowing they will win due to efficiency, while the Zerg throws wave after wave at them. Use that defensiveness against them by draining the outer bases quickly, then when it transitions to the more attrition based end-game, none of your economy will be on the frontlines and they won't be able to push you back to take a base, as they will all be empty. Meanwhile, they're opening themselves up to be vulnerable as they start saturating their outer bases.
I'm not saying they should do it every time, just that's it an option. It's a bit like deciding to heavily drone up and neglect on your army, on the basis that you don't think your opponent will launch a powerful early attack and you can just out-economy them. If it works, it pays off but it can also be punished heavily.
@@arandombard1197 Lowko will be very happy when he'll see that ^^
ZG has improved so much on commentary, really great this match.
Watching The Best vs The Best is remarkable. Normally both these players make SC look easy vs mostly everyone. But these 2 going at it just looks awesome!
This is coming from mostly watching Maru own with Terran and rarely really watching Serral. So seeing him represent that Zerg Rush vs a very good Terran almost looks cinematic. I really love watching these 2 fight.
for some reason the purple theme HUD/UI made memories of my childhood flow in my brain.
That was the first time I’ve ever seen an unmorphed changeling. 26:30
i will insist
creep+banelings killed the fun in starcraft
nah, this is literally the best player in the world. they only seem busted because his economy is so insane that he can re-up his baneling army 10 times
@@iambrett333 dont get me wrong, he is indeed the best player in the world....but this doesnt change the fact that creep+banelings killed the fun in starcraft, just Attack command and make everything dissolve
@@sebastianpalominos3706 Ghost killed the fun in ZvT. Counters infestors, vipers, ultralisk, Brutelords and lurkers becaue if EMP and Snipe. Nerf ghost, no variaty because of that stupid OP units obliterates everything.
@@Tonius126 except for the fact that 1 infestor can neural and turn them deadmeat
also, extremely expensive
nothing compared to attack move and then replenish and another attack move
Great to see Serral get a much deserved win, hope Maru isnt being held back by his injury anymore
Zerg, the only race to change its weakness to a strength
Damn, Serral is looking strong.
Serral is so good
its like war of Starcraft Gods
I feel like maru mightve held a bit better with some blue flame hellbats possibly in the backline for when the lings get thru, amazing games tho!
Zerg swarm. How it should be played. Exciting to watch.
YES UPLOADS ✅️
Glad to see they are still doing great after that pandemic break. Starcraft dead game ? Never, as always
To those of you who watched these highlights: watch the full thing too, it's worth every second.
los ataques de serral son brutales, literalmente no de dejaba estabilizar su 5ta base :o
23:49 All it takes to deal with the ghosts that fought all game for him was one good neuro parasite... scary.
i like the ling/bane spam then just use gas to build specific things to counter whatever maru is doing.
does anyone know why are there gems in random locations on screen?
Congratulation Serral
Is it not worth it to use an scv at 11:20 to repair the hellions. Seeing them back at base i saw that raven was repaired but hellions went back out after still damaged. I wonder if the mine time was worth more then the repair time?
Serral giving off alphastar vibes like the roach all ins
It's like survival game :)
🔥
Hate how they cut half of the video out for UA-cam
This is a highlights channel. Go look for the official VOD if you want to see the full thing.
Those abduction makes me smile to the ears
Hard to believe Maru is only 25. He's already been in the league for over a decade.
10 bases vs 4 bases, wow
Gold ending 32:55
Serral el mejor zerg de todos los tiempos
finally someone uses infestors to easily counter ghosts, even worse for the terran if they get the EMP upgrade (which they sould never research vs Zerg)
GG
Ruthless.
Massacre
Serral looking like jaedong in this 😉
Wow 😮 That was just…wow 🫣
I’ve taken about a year break from watching Starcraft but man idk if Maru’s age is showing or what, but he did not look on form from how I remember him while Serral looks as strong as ever
Maru has health issues, causing pain in his hands amongst other things.
It's not like it takes incredible macro and micro to even compete against zerg :). /s
Serral is insane
the way Serral engage off creep is just insane. Maru trying to go for the exhaust game doe not work against Serral lol
Why did you skip the first three and a half minutes of the match?
Bring back the Warhound unit for Terran. Might help them not be bottom tier all the time.
💀🅱️
I know they skip most of the opening minutes in these highlight videos, but it's still insane to me how quickly Serral takes over entire maps. Even Maru can't turtle when he's down 3 bases to 7.
Neural parasite 1 ghost -> instant EMV the ghosts -> instant victory
Zerg player's still feel ghosts need nerf. The state of Terran vs zerg is horrible. Zerg imba
Zerg got too good at defending drops. This turtle style the terran is forced in seems to be fading. Nothing really to change the meta, ghost counter like 80% of zerg army, mass ling bane is the only way
@@harrymaxwell8489 If they lose ghosts then they lose all late games against zerg. They have nothing that can compare to zerg late game units and are able to deal with zergling run/bys
@@uberculex I 100% agree. Just it's impossible to change the meta, but I've seen the terran win by having the zerg run out of minerals/gas
@@harrymaxwell8489 If they don't have ghost, they can't defend with favorible trades against things like ultralisks and brood lords with viper support. The viper negates seige tanks, liberators, thors with energy that can be recharged on a spore crawler.
it's not zerg that's imba, its serral... also, if the race was OP it wouldn't be the least played race in the world by a largeeee margin lol.
That's what happens if you don't go CC first like in the current GSL group stage B, vs. both Reynor and DRG.
Was this GSL
Serral showed emotion? As a fellow Finnish person, I regret to inform you that he will be exiled.
what's with this video starting in the middle of match?
I feel like the struggle with the casting in this is real lol.
"roaches bussin' open them walls"
Would Maru have made a comeback if he sent one medvac full of units to just one of Serral's proxy bases?
No, becouse queens and zergling movespeed 100kk
Who are these 2 commentators? They are good.
Damn u should build defense systems against alien..
does someone know why Serral surrenders in the 3rd match?
Serral makes Zerg look so broken...And thats 95% his insane skill ofcourse. But infestor burrow + spell casting feels a bit op.
Maru v Serral is like Federer v Nadal.
I found the first person really cool
WHERES THE VIDS
Ffs, can Maru please win a final?? For the Terrans out there..
I swear, everytime I see these, as awesome as Serral is, Maru just gets curb stomped. Time and time and time again...
@@donhartfield by ling bane infestor combo. this comp is like an auto win against Maru or any other terran players.
It is not balance game.
The GOAT is back
"You don't split your army correctly it's an unfortunate situation for Maru"
Welcome to Zerg 24/7, Terran keeps zooming drops left and right and if Zerg splits wrong he's dead while Terran can just zoom out if overwhelmed.
Zerg OP
👍
I hate how good Is serral. Congratulations
32:13 TTours
Serral !!!
What about the first game?
Serral won the double elimination bracket so he gets to start the final with an extra win. Maru lost to Showtime in round 2 and then clawed his way back up the lower bracket.
@@sjbuttonsb oh, thx man!
Terran's strategy: tanks, hellbats, ghosts, marines, medevacs, even scv fight...
Zerg's strategy: Zerlings and banelings. Oh, maybe a roach...
Wp Serral
Two titans clash
Serral,GG
Серрал красавчик! Ты забрал у меня 4 рабов? НО забрал без уважения... за это я заберу у тебя игру.
If Maru can't win there is a HUGE problem ! 1 banelings are way too cheap (rinse and repeat this doesnt take skill and Serral is one or the most skilled player) !!! Terran need anti ground static defense to stop those runnys like peotoss and Zerg can do ! Flamming Betties and Auto Turrets (remove them from Raven and give those the healing mech disk ability from Nova!
Hail Caesar Serral!!!! 💪💪💪
game 4, thats what u talk about when u say "zerging" someone down!
more grind than helms clam!
God I would love a Serral video that is not just roach spam
