He camped behind the destructible rocks, which Serral barely didnt eliminate in time, then :

I wonder why the main stream skipped 2 Serral series in a row. Maybe they expected stomps?

Kinda I guess. They want to show other players too and perhaps didn't expect exciting matches.

Yeah, it's no big deal. I actually really enjoy the fact they showed TvTs, since I guess it's a more rare matchup.

They showed a nice ToD video and then Take mentioned that they had some issues/made some mistakes and ToD was almost not coming, but then they figured it out. He just said how important that was to him and how much he values ToD's friendship and then they hugged :p.

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Will we see PvZ lategame not being ridiculously favored towards one race in the next decade maybe?

Lol, skytoss is a thing still since WOL. By the way 60-80 % of the protoss in diamond just doing photon rush into skytoss vs zerg.

Sure eventually, when they met good master/GM player this strats stopped working during some period, but it was always incredibly easy to perform, and teamgame is full of 30 APM guys that mass carriers, because it's super strong and really hard to counter.

So skytoss is probably the best start if you want to be carried above your real skill, the fact this strat hasn't been nerfed since WOL is ridiculous. It even more ridiculous to make a balance patch that make this strat OP at the highest level...

In any RTS game I’ve ever played at lower levels turtling into end game units is strong because players don’t have the mechanics or know the timings to punish such styles.

What are you talking about that it hasn’t been nerfed since WoL? Flux vanes was removed, Voids have been changed multiple times, archon toilet was removed, Carrier is seemingly buffed/nerfed with every other patch.

As we haven’t seen the Zergs use their new toolkit yet I’d say the patch is 50% a success, in that Toss can compete with certain lategame comps Zerg have when they were failing before.

The other 50% on whether I’ll judge it on is whether or not we’re just swapping borderline unkillable Zerg comps for a Protoss sky ball equivalent.

Which would be extremely premature to judge given some Zergs don’t look like they even realise there has been a patch.

It was exactly the same situation in HOTS where deathball was invincible and the only way Zerg has to beat it was mass SH. Protoss cried about "not good design", and SH got removed, and the deathball rolls over Zerg.

It is the same situation, the worst is you know it's true but don't want to admit because you want to enjoy free wins thx to skytoss.

Ah yes, my consistent posting over years on TL where I have bemoaned unkillable deathballs, especially air-based ones was just a cunning ruse all along.

There should be controls in place to prevent such an incident from happening in a premier tourney to be honest

Ah so we have a good consistent anti-Serral strategy then?
