At least he looked better than Lambo did though.
Serral was quite far behind all game so honestly it is too early to tell. The fact that he even stayed a live for so long kinda showed the potential Zerg could still have in a more even game.
Serral was good at late game ZvP before Zerg was good at late game ZvP so I have no doubt he could win in a more even position with this current balance.
Also, if Serral wins this game and goes 1-1, are we gonna have a 3 way tie for 2nd place? uThermal and Special went 1-1 so they have an even map score.

well, the patch is still very new, Im willing to chalk these things up to players experimenting. But i'll say it kinda seems the tables have turned
Corruptors can't be the answer to sky toss at least, storm wrecks them (over time). Maybe if they had decent regeneration.
Anyway, the nydus nerf hurt Serral in that game, so his eco didn't end up overwhelming, which is fine by me.

Also, maybe we get to see other combos than corrupter/viper/lurker.
He was losing carriers/archons and random units basically for free all game long. I Did not see serral not paying attention to his units there.

Serral used to do it in 2018 with Corruptor Viper, there is still a lot of play here and as I said in an earlier post, Serral was not in a great position all game (the early game and the mid game went pretty bad for him overall)

Just nerf it, if you cast with a group of casters you get a delay. If you single cast - no delay. Boom, skill rewarded, noobs are saved.
I would quite like this, with the exception of probably sentries. They’d be super wonky to individually click/box and force fielding quickly.

right now i think the answer might be being even more passive, and instead of a few dozen spores have 100+ spores, lurkers and spellcasters.
Also, Showtimes is 1st if he wins this map, and tied for 3rd-4th with uthermal if he doesnt

Think it’s to be expected really, Protoss were pushing really hard and experimenting with all sorts to try to win lategame scenarios, and came up rather dry so were always going to be better placed to jump into a new patch IMO.
I think Zergs will adapt to what the Protoss legion are currently whacking them with thus far and we’ll get a better idea down the line of what this patch might bring.
Game one of Serral vs. Showtime was really good; game two was much less interesting, with Showtime suiciding a huge army early on and then never recovering the 30-50 supply deficit.

Yeah, didn't scout, droned in the middle while adepts were useless. "defended"
Maybe the new adepts just suck?
Maybe so, but he still survived despite all the stuff you said. And that's just because of insane drone/army movement. Serral didn't react well, but he defended with what he had quite spectactularly tbh.
