Serral just manhandled the entire group without dropping a single map.
hes 13-0 including the playoffs so far. absolutely disgusting.
dark managed to take one map, but just one LOL
just another day in the office for Serral
This is weird! How can someone be so good at something? Its not like he's playing with some random kids. He is playing against other pro players, but happens to him always crash the opponent as if it were nothing
@@rodrigolustosa9090TBH he did struggle against Maru on some maps. It was closer than the final 4-0 would suggest. But yeah, it's 2018 all over again.
Can you make the end of the video longer so that recommended vidoes would not block the view of the last seconds of the game?
it's just funny the pros are constantly clicking and selecting stuff for absolutely no reason 😂😂
You can see BYUN’s medivacs boosted in place at that last fight. He tried to hot pickup but clearly misclicked and lost it all. Tough loss. You know he didn’t play his best and that’s gotta feel bad.
Serral is a monster, he made Byun look like he didn’t belong in this tourney
He's in insane form right now. Byun stomped the rest of the group but Serral still makes it look easy.
Dead easy 😮
You are the monster for spoiling it for me
@@monkeybunny89never look at chat, I learned that quick
his infestor control is so good it's almost as if he's playing on archone mode and someone else is controlling them

It's beautiful to watch Serral play Star Craft 2.
Wow Serral is so calm
It would be great if you uploaded the post games interviews of the winner also. Please :(
Being on a timer before Serral reaches macro must be haunting....
Damn serral looked unbeatable. Crazy run.
Serral is like the 4th race!
Byun threw pretty hard both games and Serral played his usual flawless games.
serrel is just a human bot. too good.
Omg Serral King,Monster
vids definately need to be a few seconds longer to show end of game.
Serral!!!
What monitor are they using?
16:40 Game 2
ザーグのような弱いユニットでここまでできるとは。serralは神だろ
Seeeeeeeeeeerral 🐐
Great cast. I think Byun fudged his timing on the pickup that last game. I guess his mentality was too defeated perhaps. It's hard to say.
PIG we love you (I will be saying it every time you commentate you are the one and only bro
clem handled him
Can we do a pinned spoiler blocker here…
Byun is Fyun
Spoiler buster comment
Hahahah 23:08
Byun was out of breath here.
ty 4 diz hq vid
When Byun won WCS 2016, Terran had OP Reapers and reaper-favored maps. I did not cheer for him, even though many did. When Serral won WCS 2018, I did not cheer for him, in fact I disliked his win because Zerg was OP during that patch even though Serral is very good. Now, Terran is favored this patch, and Zerg has been nerfed to the ground. Byun vs. Serral is not even close, Byun looks like he mistakenly walked in this tournament. No scout, Terran hubris.
Zerg nerfed to the ground?
@@petercriscuola ? It's common knowledge that Zerg was nerfed primarily based on the one sided Zerg v other wins in global tournaments - of which most of those lopsided wins were attributed to Serral.
Almost all those nerfs made Zerg more difficult for most players where previously Zerg had been favored. In the latest patch, Zerg has been significantly nerfed to
the point where as the OP said, Terran is favored by most experts and players (and heavily so).... with the exception, of Serral and possibly Raynor.
A large part of that is attributed to the nerf of the baneling which plays an extremely large part in holding off strong marine plays.
Since the changes to the Cyclone, non professional (ladder) games have seen increases in early Terran wins v Zerg, where more games are won where the T has a lower MMR than the Zerg. This is a newish patch so more time is needed with the cyclone, but so far it appears unbalanced in lower tiered games.
@@petercriscuolabaneling nerf hit hard
@@MKu64But given how insanely high SC2’s skill ceiling is how useful is lower tier data? By that rationale Protoss isn’t weak at all because they do fine on ladder, and yet the consensus tend to be that they are underpowered at the highest level.
@@M0ebius By lower tier I'm referring to below top GM. Everything ladder based not tournament based. What you say about Protoss is generally true but less so since the latest patch.
Man 480 res is so bad to watch
It takes CZcams some time to render the other resolutions
Man terran seems underpowered vs zerg because the maps are so big and just seems like terran cant put on any pressure.
The first map was really small
Serral makes everyone look underpowered.
Yeah...in this case I think it's Serral just being too good. He makes Zerg look overpowered. Zerg is a strong race no doubt as history would say, but it's not as unbalanced as one might think. Just my Bronze thoughts mind you don't don't take them too seriously...
Nice balance
What part of this series was unbalanced in your opinion?
@@Jecht1221not relevant. Whatever the match, there will always be a random dude posting this comment, like X op, Y imba, etc
said the clowns stuck in gold lol
After the viper, luker, baneling, queen, creep, ravager, infestor, broodlord nerfs the past 2 patches I think zerg might be in the most balanced state it has ever been. When it comes to zerg its not balance thats the issue…its just Serral.
@@hazenkaul3052 Honestly Zerg is extremely nerfed compared to the others it's just that Serral is exceptionally good.. the nerfs make very little sense for anyone else.
They could remove Zerglings muta and roach from the game entirely and there would still be a noob complaining Z imba (and the same for other races).
Just blob vs blob. Try Dawn of War 1 it's much better.
zombie grub talks too much without saying anything.
Yet still more bearable than Rotterdam for me. I usually skip the games with him.
I actually like ZombieGrub with Pig. Sometimes she gets too Terran biased with other Terran casters.
She's the worst
Seems good to me
thank you!
Can we finally please nerf zerg. Serral is clearly not that much better than the other top players but the race is so broken
He is though
Finally? Where have you been these past 6 years...? Zergs have been nerfed time and time again ever since Serral's year of dominance of 2018. There have been countless patches nerfing Zergs since than. From nerfing Broodlord + Infestor into the ground(remember Infested Terrans? yeah they used to be a thing... as was instant Fungal Growth) to nerfing most other Zerg units culminating in the recent double Baneling nerf(both damage and hp from the speed upgrade). Serral clearly is much better than the other top players, as he's the only Zerg player that still maintains such a ridiculous win rate. Even other 3 top tier Zergs: Reynor, Dark and Solar, are greatly struggling due to all the nerfs. Yes, Solar won a GSL recently, however most of the other GSLs these past few years have been won by Terrans, and not just Maru but also Cure, Gumiho and others. In fact it's Terran that's the broken race, not Zerg. It's just that Serral is even more broken...
Boooo Zombiegrub, boooooo
This is disgusting to watch. It's just so much easier to play zerg. Serral's "brillian" game-winning move in game 1 was simply boxing two groups of roaches and right click moving them into Byun's bases. In game 2 he just a-moved banes onto the marines and right click moved zerglings into the mineral line. He probably had time to alt-tab and check Liquipedia. Byun wasn't perfect on every click and he lost. It's like that in every aspect of the matchup. Multitasking for terran is perfectly splitting and picking up last second in 3 places, while for zerg it's a-moving in three places and never looking there again. Disgusting.
Well, I'll just say I might agree Zerg could be a stronger race among the 3. Historically it has won a lot of tournaments and that is no secret. I believe their strength might lie in other places than what you say though, particularly creep spread.
What a sad, old man you must be to seethe so hard at a replay of video game. God forbid Serral gets value while suiciding his roaches to free up supply as ByuN has his entire marine army on Serral's half of the map with zero defense at home in game 1.
