Every time Maru and Serral play each other, I like to imagine its the 2019 Blizzcon world championship finals, and the super hyped up dream match goes off without a hitch, and Blizzard decides to keep supporting SC2 Esports for another 10 years.
Keep coping LUL.

Great dream!
It was more hyped up at 2018 grand finals
wrr
@47:29, if you pause the game and play it forward slowly, and watch the widow mine targeting, you can see that maru is manually targeting the widow mines to attack the center of the clump of zerg. That's why maru was retreating his marines instead of stutter stepping his marines away. He wasn't stutter stepping because he was busy targeting his mines.
clem and maru are microing their mines and manually targeting units. When mines automatically target units, they tend to target the nearest enemy unit, but those units are also automatically targeted and killed by marines, so then the mine has to re-acquire another enemy unit which makes it take longer for the mine to detonate. But when mines are manually targeted, they detonate quicker and tend to explode into clumps of zerg instead of on the outside units.
Most importantly, when mines are manually targeted, it's hard for zerg to predict what the mine would do. So if zerg sends one zergling into the mine followed by the main clump of zerglings, the mine would normally detonate on the first zergling, but with manual attack, the mine hits the clump of zerglings.
You can see maru manually targeting his mine by watching the mine's little gray line that shows which unit it's targeting. When maru manually targets, the gray line changes.
Maru is just a joy to watch. He's incredible.. 🥇🤖🙌🏽❤
Bro you were the top comment. Therfore spoiling and ruining the game before got to watch ..... 😭😭
@@ingestingcreation1024 or maybe... I was jebaiting you. ;) watch the series fella. ;)
@@real_MacrocosM thank you 😊

Harstem is a very powerful caster. His humor is the mightiest.
Another quality Harstem cast ♡
Love the POV casts lately please do it more!
Third game; Serral got Pavlov treatment
wow just the first game was already incredible!
that was epic
Serral with 5k gas in the bank for 10 minuts and just making ling bane with some corrupter was incredible xd
These guys spend more time with each other than with their families.
wow! - very nice ones. Thx for sharing.
Great casting, thank you! But I really need to know what happened to that marine with 12 kills from second game. Can you make a video about his story?
15:11 Dead ultralisk rising to the heavens.
I really like you videos. Shout out to hamster.
Great commentary
The art of the deal written by serral - nice one.
Would be cool to see a side by side analysis of this game compared to last time Maru lost vs Serral
40:30 - lmao, not even 8 seconds later... If this was in real time, it would be a first-class caster curse, Harstem!
Oh look, another game where Serral gets stomped. Definitely GOAT material.
Yeah, you're dumb if you believe any player is immune to losses. If there's 1 Goat, it's serral no doubt about that. Check winrate if you want
@@raphaelantoine7331 if you check winrate over serral's *entire* career, he's nowhere goat material
Maru is the GOAT. And the only GOAT. As he's finally put to bed that argument ;) he's faster, smarter, wiser than any of his peers. And 6 days of the week is hands down the best human who has ever laid hands on the game.
👊🏽🤖
I'm not even a Serral fan, but I mean he is facing another GOAT here
THANK YOU CHIIIEEEEFFFFF
Maru was fantastic.
BTW Lambo was great casting the games. Wish you and him can have a chance to cast together someday.
It happened for IEM Katowice, in case you missed it!
@@martinkrauser4029 Oh no, I watched. Just saying Rotti, Harstem, PiG, and Lambo are awesome casters for a balanced entertaining and educational show and we should see them paired more often.
Hate to say it, but Lambo was carrying that cast hard.
I like to think Maru and Rogue practiced against each other for their matches against Serral and Clem. And like to think Serral and Clem did the same thing
Overpowered units like zerklings/Banelings and queens are always in controll. Serral is just very good at useing it.
where could I get the replay of this match pls?
Your GOAT just got milked.
The macro/ micro that these guys can pull off is truly insane.
Harstem what do i have to do to be coached by you!!!??? I have s diamond league coach ive only been playing 6 months. My coach says i play as well as most diamond league players but i want to get better so bad. All i do is play on the ladder.
I really think investing in some infestors in game 1 would have helped Serral tremendously. Uncloak and slow down those clumps of ghosts while the banelings roll in
Pretty sure Ghosts wreck Infestors. 1 EMP makes them useless and a few snipes to kill them off.
there is a build in direct strike where you get combat shields after your marines stim, which gains you hp because the stim is cheaper when you don't have combat shields and as the upgrade finishes it gives max hp and current hp. I don't know if the 3 medivac 2-1-1 utilizes this as the upgrade might not work the same way in melee, but it has an opportunity to.
Marines start with 45 health and stim costs 10. Banes deal 35 damage, which is just enough to kill a stimmed marine. Combat shields gives +10hp, which means that a marine can stim once without being 1-shot by a baneling.
I just tested this in both a normal game and direct strike. It's not true. In both cases, stim takes 10 hp from marines with and without combat shields.
Wow, after that match you could almost see serral switching Races LOL
I knew Serral would win
DON’T SPOIL THE MATCH BRUH!!!
(Wink wink)
the koreans just anihilated us europeans in this even. Especially Maru and Rogue, these guys were amazing.
white people complaining that it's because of the server. Nevermind that it was played on NA server not korea, and that terran is harmed more by latency than zerg.
@@aj2228 I'm white people but i m not complaining :) Koreans generaly speaking play very beautifull sc, they put a lot of gambling and imagination and that makes the game worth watching.
no counter attack from Serral?
Maru is a beast. Been watching that dude for years. No matter how he does in GSL, always nice to watch. 3-0 vs Serral is quite the accomplishment.
Serral got pinged my dude. None of these results really reflect skill until off-line lan tourneys start up again
@@seastand12 ping is more important for terran so maru was even in a worse spot
@@Smiles216 say that to mines ;-)
@ maru manually targeted his mines, which is why they were so effective. Only clem and maru do that, and they both beat zergling heavy zerg style.
@ Say that to Rogue, stomping Clem who was using Mines.
I only want tastostis and Harstem casting wver
I think Maru play similar to byun, from 2 bases, he build army first then harass. 2 barrack give advantage with balance in other area.
I feel like ling bane gives terrans too much time to drop endlessly.
When did this happen?
Gsl
@@shayden598 wut?
Asus rog this past weekend
pog
Serral losing 0-3 is like a .... idk.
Why do all casters say things "will" happen when they are already happening?
Same reason streamers say "we" when only they are doing something
maru just inhuman speed way too strong too precise
Dear Harstem i would enjoy First Person Casts now and then maybe :) just as a suggestion
I beg to differ, I think that him focusing on the action with you is so much better with his commentary, which is legendary, best commentator there is.
Day Im not sure let's say 8 of asking for a shout-out for our avian friends at the start of a video.
40:43
how is that zergling worth 43 Minerals?
A spore crawler was built and cancelled to save the drone, losing 18 minerals.
@@fdcrat thx
why do terrans mostly only build ravens against other terrans
Ravens are probably one of the most important units in TvT. They can disable tanks which can otherwise feel impossible to break and you can only interference matrix mechanical units which Terran has a lot of and zerg has none of. The only reason ravens would be built against zers is for hellion pushes that clear creep without having to use scans. Starports with tech labs are also way worse if you aren't building ravens or battlecruisers regularly, so building ravens against zerg players commit you to a tech lab which will mean less healing and drops with medivacs.
BC.. building Ravens in TvT is legit as ubiquitous as building ghosts in TvP. They counter shit and they work. Très powerful. But ive yet to see a Terran build ONLY Ravens. 6-12 usually does it.
AMEEEEEEEEEENNNN😭😭😭😭😭
Maru probably took a few notes from clem on beating serral
he played far better then clem...
The problem is he is not stable.
The top 3 europeans serral, reynor, clem are relatively stable.
Maru sometimes is absurdly insane and sometimes you are asking yourself what the hell is he actually doing.
@@Smiles216 Reynor and Clem are not stable either. Serral, Heromarine for example are really stable players. I guess also related to their playstyle which is super standard. Like Polt back in the days...
@@Smiles216 Actually Maru has been the most stable Terran player in KR, only behind Trap and Rogue. He reached top 4 in 4-5 events this year including the IEM, Code S and DH Global. Other than the losses to other top players, Maru only bombed at Code S season 2 Ro16, where he had to play the group the day after the DH Global Final. It was a shitty schedule conflict and even shittier that GSL and ESL didnt figure out anything to give Maru enough rest or preparation.
Maru has been successfully applying the hyper aggressive style since at least 2014. I suspect he hasn't played this way recently due to his shoulder injury.
maruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Please turn off the constant healthbars
Terren. Just MMM & Widow Mines. So talented.
Zerg was also just queen ling bane
maru 500apm......crazy
second
2. is the first looser
serral vs widow mines
Literally Maru won the first 2 games without mines opening, he won the 2nd game with mostly tanks.
@@tigera6 Terran player spotted. What if I told you there is stuff happening inbetween the opening and final push in games that actually matter?
@@LasseLundster Well, if you opponent didnt open with mines, and then transition into it, and you STILL not reacting to that, then its your fault. SC2 is an RTS game, and S stand for Strategy.
Game 3 was the only time Serral got caught because he was expecting Tanks but instead its invisible mines.
@@tigera6 Nobody has said otherwise, who are you arguing with?
@@LasseLundster serral vs widow mines --> dumb and misleading comment without giving any context. kinda saying like Storm OP, Infestor OP, just un-educated stuff.
Starcraft 2
Zergcraft 2
And now is Terrancraft 2 .
What the fuck was that low tier units only play by serral, against the best Terran in Korea? Either serral lost his mojo and only able to climb the ladder using low tier builds or Maru is a league above him in skill.
No real aggression from serral, almost always on defense, taking bad engagements, never putting his opponent on the backfoot and no clutch plays in a match where you need all of those things just to be on par.
Ling bane is great, for a time and against ladder, but c'mon we've seen much better from him in the past this was very mediocre Zerg play by every standard
Infestors gotta become standard vs this. This was disgusting to see Maru end serral so flawlessly.
Feels like zerg has no real come back mechanics unless opponent makes a huge misplay...
serral had a huge gaz bank and nowhere to spend it. toss in this case can instabuild bigillion archons and they are incredibly good. i believe in previous patches zerg could build 40 winfestors ) but nowdays infestors lost a lot of versatility, without infested terrans.
it would be funny if zerg could morph tyrannosaurs from ultras, for say 300 gaz. and they had twice health as usual ultra, and shoot up lke in coop. )
I think lurkers are one of the best comeback mechanics in the game.
Tell me you're gold without telling me you're gold
Zerg too busy defending. Terran doesn't have much units at home to defend. Zerg needs Nydus to turn the tide.
Widow Mines so annoying. Ghost annoying, Marines annoying. Medivacs annoying.
@@philip2363 you haven't even mentioned lurkers :)
@@philip2363 widow mine counters all zergs units.
The abstracted soybean moberly pause because plane interspecifically land via a impossible church. somber, relieved fertilizer
The lamentable oval willy concentrate because australian acceptably bubble toward a waggish man. abiding, didactic weapon
very suspicious this time)) lots of loses on mines, especially in the first game - not very usual for Serral; 3 times in a row same lingo-bane-queen army composition with same result - defeat- not very usual for Serral to change nothing in his game after the first defeat. Sure he's possibly know that nothing will work at all against Maru but this army composition, and he did his best to make the build in a perfect way, but... suspicious, very suspicious)))
Maru forced Serral hand with the early 2-1-1 build and pressure in every games. Serral natural reaction was to build up lingbane to defend, he couldnt tech up to anything else because he had to survive. Had Serral secure his 4 base and suffered no major losses, he could have transitioned into either Muta or Hydra-Lurker, Maru just didnt let him the time or resource to do it.
Serral playing slack. Great vid but horrible games to watch. You can tell serral and maru are both playing sloppy.
Care to elaborate?
@@sage4670 Micro from both sides wasnt the cleanest but that can be put down to ping. Serral running on bare minimum and not having front line spores versus so many widow mines. He kept taking bad fights into widow mines, just slamming his head against a wall, didnt even send lings first to draw fire ( well I mean he did, he just kinda sent them all at once haha). not switching tech fast enough or using resuorces efficiently. Not breking rocks that were a disadvantage to him while he had time too. I mean I could go on but id sound like i was nit picking using hindsight. The main takeaway is that Serral plays alot cleaner usually but you could tell he was flustered and panicing at times. Also not switching up his build orders enough. He was just rinse and repeating. Made it easy for Maru.
Maru was mostly micro mistakes but thats because I expect alot from him but as I said earlier we could put that down to ping.
@@garethbeazley8360 Maru was opening with mostly Tank push in the first 2 games and transition into mines later. I can understand how Serral wasnt ready for those mines shot, because against Mines, you want to send army little by little to limit the splash, against Tanks you want to send EVERYTHING to close the distance as quickly as possible. And in game 3, Maru switched to mines (with Armory and Drilling Claw) really caught Serral off-guard, he wasnt expecting invisible mines that early in the game, and he wasnt scouting at all, expecting the same push from Maru with tanks.
Here's a cookie... for having the most idiotic comment on this video! You deserve it!
I cannot have any respect for maru as long as widow mines exist
