SC2 - GuMiho vs. Serral - ESL SC2 Masters: Summer 2023 Finals - Grand Final 

Fully chilled at the Serral's give up....

After that ling runby, I was like ok its gg. Can't believe he won it! Absolutely agree

@@TheZukkino you think its early stoppage?

@@W1LDtracer Early stoppage? Is stoppage a word?

@@neofaktion oh its not MMA lol, i mean early quit by Serral)

serral the wanker doesnt shake hands, he just does the nerd trophy shake

@@YannickSteve 🤣

Absolutely! TvZ is like this one

Game 2 was 8rax and h24 runbies like it's a lucky win he should have lost.

Reminded me of Slayers Boxer

He has definitely strengthened his resolve. A lesser player would have been bullied into a defensive play style but not Serral. He adapted well and found the answer to mech and made it look easy.

Its not him thats too good its zerg thats broken.

@@karlhans6678 yup Terrans can't go late game too because once the infestor number is high your late game units will all be neuraled then all your units are dead

@@jameslog3431One word: Ghostmech

@@karlhans6678it isn’t. Gumiho just refused to transition into lategame.

Jesus Christ appeared to me in a radical way and changed my life forever

@@llllllllllllllIIlIllIIllIIIIll halucinacion cause by a stroke or wha?

Serral: I'm a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.

he's just a sperg spamming the zerg

Also if Gumi decided to use more ghosts in couple match ups

@@scarredable he himself thinks this and regrets it. other z pros think so too

From 25:40 lol.

that was the most intense game of the year imo

Да такой Капитан Реап Воинское приветствие отдал, Садись

maru wasnt playing but ok XD

Thank you!

My protoss jaw dropped when I saw it

The thumbnail is misleading indeed

@@will7466 wait, protoss don’t have jaw do they? I mean technically they have but they got no mouth so they are unable to drop jaws. Never mind, just my old habit to overthink

@@atrudokht that was the point. It also got me thinking there's nothing saying their jaws don't drop. I mean is it one solid bone structure because if so thinking about them having really long chins drops the cool factor

This didn't age well. If only patches came out this fast

Nah, her bias is kinda off putting, both her and Nate. They should both be recused from casting and TvX games.

her voice is kinda grating on the ears, a bit like nails on a chalkboard tbh. her casting style is very basic and boring as well.

I find her commetary to be cogent and timely. She must also compete with other shoutcasters, or here, stay on top of Pig lest he says something nasty, in this, a family game. 😘

Nails on a blackboard

I think ZG has improved a lot as a caster but my issue with her is her constant repeat of the same word. I think she used the same word over a 100 times in this matchup. I don´t wanna play the role of a word-police but once you hear it you cannot "un-hear" it and it gets to the point of becoming highly distracting. Ironically enough her co-casters starts doing the same in every match as well.

Lol! He does kinda gape a bit. I never really noticed that until you said it. Now I can't unsee it.

It's not op... it's just very easy to play. Serral gets to practice playing the same exact macro game 1000 times in custom games, and he's basically ready for the tournament. If he doesn't mess it up - he wins. A terran must come up with an inspired unexpected build (not one of course, but enough to last the entire tournament), and keep doing so for every tournament. That's why Serral can be dominant for a year and a half, while even the best terrans like Maru drop tournaments and series left and right. It's just too easy. Serral is complete shit compared to Maru, but in terms of results they could be very close. People are dumb so they call Serral a GOAT, but I guess if the game is broken then whoever picks the easier race will be the GOAT.

@@alk672 Yea man, Zerg just has so many units that are absolute game changers and require incredible macro and skill to even have a chance at countering, namely infesters and vipers. Whereas Terrans don't really have anything like that of their own. Sure Ghost EMP is annoying, but it won't wipe an army, and it doesn't do much vs a careful Zerg anyway.

@@alk672 wow, calling anyone, let alone a top player for years, shit compared to some other player is really telling about the person saying that stuff. Someone could say people like that are shit compared to decent human beings because of their lack of any manners and decency, don't you think?

You could allow for transferring of control of units to different leaders, so the base commander could have a small defense force while the attack commander has other units. I guess the drawback is having to have friends to play with, but imagine the competitive games??

There used to be a custom map like this back in sc1 but I can't remember the name of it. Iust have spent years of my life only playing custom sc1 matches back then. The immensity of customs was sorely missed in sc2

Oh you used the phrase, regression to the mean. My compliments. Also, the more maps, the more skill-dependent the outcome. Who wants to bet against Serral in a series first to 100?

@MrClebophd I see you are also a educated gentleman with good taste

Finals best of 7;
