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)


Are you sure you are not confusing it with Dark Swarm? 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.

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.


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?


No, but what blinding cloud does is reduce the range of units under it to melee (1?), hydras and roaches simply have another animation for it. Though i am not sure how upgrades work there tbh, might count melee upgrades for these two?


No. They still use ranged upgrades.

GG Classic loses. His tactical early game strategy did not work out fine. Protoss is the most unforgiving race in this game

Anyways, my headcanon is that Serral decided to use his Blizzcon run to convince Blizzard to make ultras usable units.

Yeah i thought so :D In any case, i think lurkers would basically still attack on full range against melee units. Still better though ofc, if it's enough idk.

Hmm... I'm not sure what change would make ultras usable in ZvZ, that wouldn't also make them utterly broken in the other match-ups.

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 is bad at lategame"


Serral is only human. He can have rivals. And a young European Zerg prodigy with a meteoric rise? The reflection of himself probably gives him at least some pause.


He shouldn't be so cocky if he's gonna get embarrassed that badly

2-3 "embarrassed"

lol And that 10 range upgrade on lurkers will make ultra extra unusable in ZvZ.

Well, increasing lurker range, upgrade or not, would definitely make them even less usable.

Only barely though, as i just learned: "Lurkers have 9 range, but their spines reach out 10 cells."
