We are clearly seeing two different games here.

He did the lib transition after he decided he couldn't attack into fungal/hydra.

Dude just didn't think it was possible to beat Serral like that and decided to play it safe. Cure really lacks the killer instinct.
Clem, Maru and Oliveira would've definitely finish off Serral there. 4 base Terran vs 3 base Zerg with no Hive, 20+ supply advantage. There's no excuse.

I think 2 prong attack left and right would have better chances there. He was puking in the right side of the map with a tiny army meanwhile his left army was idle next to a full mining hatch barely defended. But whatsoever.

I like changing it up with battle mech here, not sure if it'll work but you have to mix it up and throw different things at Serral.
Edit:: just normal mech? Maybe he has something cooked up
|
Except its Turtle mech

Yes, maybe so. For you it probably is Cure throwing it and Serral playing an OP race, one or both. To me, I see a player of high skill turning it up after the opponent making a great play. Cure just can't keep up with Serral when he goes into high gear.
I mean it's still statistically unlikely for Cure to win anyway, looking at their history. But maybe you think Cure is better and Serral just lucky ^^

Didn't have that on my bingo card.

Okay, maybe not quite winning the game, but it definitely swung the balance.
That was a lot of Liberators to lose for basically nothing.
It's not like the hydra blink - no idea who thought this was necessary to have in the game anyway - made the big difference. The libs moved too far forward and the army only had 2 almost dead medivacs with 0 energy. Cure wasn't really ready for a fight.

I did not expect turtle mech.
Bold choice.

I know people probably don't care enough to make a distinction but a 2/2 timing attack isn't turtling.

Two things can be true at the same time. Serral played out of his mind, and if Cure had played it out differently he probably would have won. I don't think any other Zerg could have come back, but Cure gave him that tiny chance that he took.

That is just a fantasy tale! I don't understand how you can make up so many things of what i think. I am less surprised now we are seeing two different games.

It looked to me like Hydra Blink enabled a stronger punish.
Flying the Liberators ahead of the rest of the army was definitely a mistake, but Cure would've traded a lot better if the Liberators could've finished sieging before the Hydralisks got underneath them.
EDIT:
But I'm splitting hairs. Your general idea is definitely correct. Cure wasn't ready for that fight either way.
|
Ugh why clump your tanks so close together
|
Playing against Serral without constantly harrassing him??
|
Cure is playing really well up to a certain point where his execution just lets him down over and over again.
|
People told me that Swarm Hosts need to stay in the game to help Zerg players deal with turtle mech, but Serral hasn't made a single Swarm Host in this game.
Does that mean we can finally remove the damn things?
I'm joking, I'm joking... I just really hate them.
|
Cure is at least even right now with serral even with the broodlords coming out, if he was executing better he could have won this game already, but Serral's multi task is just clearly a level above his right now.
Edit: nvm his economy is actually not great I thought he had more scvs

There have been Serral vs Cure series where Serral doesn't ever look in danger for a second. In this series Serral is looking in big trouble at times, but winning anyways. Not sure which is more demoralizing.
