Serral vs. ByuN - IEM SC2 Katowice 2024 - Group Stage 

He's in insane form right now. Byun stomped the rest of the group but Serral still makes it look easy.

Dead easy 😮

You are the monster for spoiling it for me

@@monkeybunny89never look at chat, I learned that quick

his infestor control is so good it's almost as if he's playing on archone mode and someone else is controlling them

hes 13-0 including the playoffs so far. absolutely disgusting.

dark managed to take one map, but just one LOL

just another day in the office for Serral

This is weird! How can someone be so good at something? Its not like he's playing with some random kids. He is playing against other pro players, but happens to him always crash the opponent as if it were nothing

​@@rodrigolustosa9090TBH he did struggle against Maru on some maps. It was closer than the final 4-0 would suggest. But yeah, it's 2018 all over again.

it is to make adrenaline and awareness consistent.

Zerg nerfed to the ground?

@@petercriscuola ? It's common knowledge that Zerg was nerfed primarily based on the one sided Zerg v other wins in global tournaments - of which most of those lopsided wins were attributed to Serral. Almost all those nerfs made Zerg more difficult for most players where previously Zerg had been favored. In the latest patch, Zerg has been significantly nerfed to the point where as the OP said, Terran is favored by most experts and players (and heavily so).... with the exception, of Serral and possibly Raynor. A large part of that is attributed to the nerf of the baneling which plays an extremely large part in holding off strong marine plays. Since the changes to the Cyclone, non professional (ladder) games have seen increases in early Terran wins v Zerg, where more games are won where the T has a lower MMR than the Zerg. This is a newish patch so more time is needed with the cyclone, but so far it appears unbalanced in lower tiered games.

@@petercriscuolabaneling nerf hit hard

@@MKu64But given how insanely high SC2’s skill ceiling is how useful is lower tier data? By that rationale Protoss isn’t weak at all because they do fine on ladder, and yet the consensus tend to be that they are underpowered at the highest level.

@@M0ebius By lower tier I'm referring to below top GM. Everything ladder based not tournament based. What you say about Protoss is generally true but less so since the latest patch.

Yet still more bearable than Rotterdam for me. I usually skip the games with him.

I actually like ZombieGrub with Pig. Sometimes she gets too Terran biased with other Terran casters.

She's the worst

Seems good to me

thank you!

It takes RU-vid some time to render the other resolutions

The first map was really small

Serral makes everyone look underpowered.

Yeah...in this case I think it's Serral just being too good. He makes Zerg look overpowered. Zerg is a strong race no doubt as history would say, but it's not as unbalanced as one might think. Just my Bronze thoughts mind you don't don't take them too seriously...

He is though

Finally? Where have you been these past 6 years...? Zergs have been nerfed time and time again ever since Serral's year of dominance of 2018. There have been countless patches nerfing Zergs since than. From nerfing Broodlord + Infestor into the ground(remember Infested Terrans? yeah they used to be a thing... as was instant Fungal Growth) to nerfing most other Zerg units culminating in the recent double Baneling nerf(both damage and hp from the speed upgrade). Serral clearly is much better than the other top players, as he's the only Zerg player that still maintains such a ridiculous win rate. Even other 3 top tier Zergs: Reynor, Dark and Solar, are greatly struggling due to all the nerfs. Yes, Solar won a GSL recently, however most of the other GSLs these past few years have been won by Terrans, and not just Maru but also Cure, Gumiho and others. In fact it's Terran that's the broken race, not Zerg. It's just that Serral is even more broken...

What part of this series was unbalanced in your opinion?

​@@Jecht1221not relevant. Whatever the match, there will always be a random dude posting this comment, like X op, Y imba, etc

said the clowns stuck in gold lol

After the viper, luker, baneling, queen, creep, ravager, infestor, broodlord nerfs the past 2 patches I think zerg might be in the most balanced state it has ever been. When it comes to zerg its not balance thats the issue…its just Serral.

@@hazenkaul3052 Honestly Zerg is extremely nerfed compared to the others it's just that Serral is exceptionally good.. the nerfs make very little sense for anyone else. They could remove Zerglings muta and roach from the game entirely and there would still be a noob complaining Z imba (and the same for other races).

Well, I'll just say I might agree Zerg could be a stronger race among the 3. Historically it has won a lot of tournaments and that is no secret. I believe their strength might lie in other places than what you say though, particularly creep spread.

What a sad, old man you must be to seethe so hard at a replay of video game. God forbid Serral gets value while suiciding his roaches to free up supply as ByuN has his entire marine army on Serral's half of the map with zero defense at home in game 1.
