asking myself the same questions


Simply put: Reynor is just 10x better than Serral in every way, shape and form. Of course, blue pilled Starcraft fans will say Serral is GOAT

I think serral's shape is less round, no idea if you'd think that's 10 times better, beauty of shapes is in the eye of the beholder.

What does Serral even do to win from here

10+ vipers, other than that any charge is a highway to hell.


Even vipers aren't enough. Since hydra/lurkers support vipers so much better than all the melee units that don't shoot up that Serral had.


Nah, 10+ vipers would give him a small shot since to be honest Reynor's supporting cast for vipers lacked, it was literally mass lurker.

But only 3 with 2 blinding clouds total? Not a chance.


Sure but the opponent's vipers just yoink yours to kill them with hydras and you can't do the same.



If you manage to throw enough blinding clouds to disable most of lurkers, you have a chance. If you don't, RIP, vipers own fate is irrelevant.

It doesn't disable though, just shorten the range. Which doesn't matter against melee units, the lurkers attack anyway at full range if you actually commit into it (just a little later)


I do know that roach/hydra can use their melee attack in blinding cloud, and i do not have client on hand right now to test it. And even if it is so, preventing lurkers from killing your lings before they even hit anything is a win in my book.

Why do people think Serral is the best player? He is far from GOAT. Top 3? Yes. Top 1? No. I knew this guy would lose after I saw how easy his round of 16 group and round of 8 were. Serral stands no chance against Reynor. He would have lost handily to Dark too.

Serral would have easily won Dark


Would have, could have. should have.

The main question now is: how good is Dark's ZvZ? I was 99% sure Serral would beat him, but now he's against the kid who defeated Serral who 3-0'ed him last year on global finals.

I wanna believe in a fairy tale where Classic gets to finals, but don't think he can pull 3 more moves from protoss BS bible. Let's see.

what would happen if Serral went teched to Broodlord and made more vipers?

Also, really well played by Reynor. After beating Trap, herO and Serral, I realized that I don't give him enough credit for his skill.

Everyone is wrongly fixated on Serral. Reynor is the best player of all time. Period.

Pretty bummed for Serral, but still a great tournament from the Goat. Again, he took it to the brink, and needed some outstanding play to beat him.

People will go and say this is evidence he is crap etc. But clearly he is the 'one to beat' in every tournament - and that means he is the best.

That was a strange game from Serral. Why go Ultras vs all those lurkers? Very well played by Reynor though! GGs


Yeah. I dont understand that throw. He had a massive lead. Serra loves lurker-play and rarely goes ultras, because they just suck. He had all the time in the world to do the transition, since Reynor couldnt leave his base(s). Then he could practically camp Reynors bases and bleed him out, but somehow he was set to close the game with ultras although it failed time after time. Serral rarely is that stubborn, but now it prolly cost him the championship. Very uncharacteristic indeed.

Yeah, exactly this.

Pretty dissapointed by that game from Serral. But good luck to Reynor though !

Parting was 18 when he won the Blizzard World Cup, so Reynor would be younger.

Well you just said it, hydra/roach attack under blinding clowd. So lurkers would as well on melee range, but their spike attack would still travel all the way aka attack on full range.

I want an analysis of Ultralisks in ZvZ now pls panelists


They've been awful for quite a while in my opinion.

It was a weird choice from Serral, all things considered, to make not only Ultras but Mutas too. I wish he'd just play to try and get to a roach vs roach midgame. All zergs excel at that style to some extent, but Serral is the absolute master of that.

asking myself the same questions


style on the cocky teenage greenhorn who tried to embarrass you with a n00b build by using said build to eliminate him


overconfidence and big ego is sucha a b* sometimes


it's weird

serral is usually pretty humble

says that he is scared of players like neeb and showtime, before proceeding to crush him

when asked about reynor he often talking shit

"he should be easy"
"he is bad at lategame"

That’s pretty cool tbh, I never considered that aspect of the Lurkers attack as it might relate to Dark Swarm

Thing is: hydra and roach very explicitly have a melee attack, i played enough with SC2Editor back in the day to know that. Do burrowed lurkers?

That's no excuse. Reynor proved today that he can beat Serral if he tries. The minute he had enough WCS points to qualify for Blizzcon, he stopped trying against Serral. He was playing on ladder against someone I was watching via stream and he admitted it. Not my words, just his.
