That was one of the most insane last 10 minutes of the game I ever saw. Incredible.... Super well played by both, but Serral especially. It felt like he was on the brink of death most of the game and still held on and almost won. Phew

I will use Winter's wisdom from the angry coach. To beat mass Thors you need mass Thors.

Considering Serral lost by 1 low hp thor after a quite bad start I wouldn't exactly say he's "Clueless"

The fact that players can bank up 5000+ in resources is a clear sign that the economy-supply-engagement dynamic of the game is 'broken'. This doesn't happen in BW at all. A good RTS should have players trading resources back-and-forth without building up such a ridiculous bank.

(No, this is not a balance whine. Just a general observation about SC2.)

I mean, banking up 5000+ resources is just unfortunate consequence of the fact that you are now obliged to get at least 4 bases as any race these days.


He isn't wrong though... This has always been an issue with SC2 design. Supercharged macro mechanics, free thirds, and broken supply to cost ratios make maxes come far too quickly. Games in which players are maxed 2/3 of the time are boring.

Yeah getting the scan on the infestors just before the final big fight was super clutch.

It's weird that none of you pointed out that Serral went out of his room after losing the game.

Great moments, insane finish but yeah Cure's playstyle made it a largely passive boring affair.

However If this series turns out to go the full distance I think having 40+ minute close ending could make it legendary.
You're getting cynical and that won't do I'd throw the rose tint back on the exploded view

and serral got tunnel vision and did not back out those infestors. They could have been detrimental to that last fight...
Don't practice until you can get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong.

The main issue is the maxed supply army being so easy to control for top pros, bigger army should be more taxing on execution imo.

When there are many spellcasters it's not that easy.
