SERRAL vs CLEM: StarCraft 2 Game of the Year! 

34:05 - Imagine that as a cinematic. A squad of marines raid a Zerg base when they get a report the Swarm is coming. One of them sees the zerglings coming and shouts to the others. A dropship quickly drops down from the sky and opens its entry ramp, the Marines use grapple guns to hoist up onto it. Only eight of them make it, the last one's malfunctions and he's left on the ground. He runs after the airship shouting, the Zerg chasing after him. And ahead, growing distant, his comrades aboard the dropship look back at him sadly as the ramp closes. The marine slowly stops and realizes he's been left behind. He feels the ground shake and looks over his shoulder, and sees an ultralisk coming at him, the Zerglings running about its feet. The marine grimaces, his visor closes, and he raises his rifle and opens fire, not letting up even as the Ultralisk reaches him and lists a massive foot over his head...

Not exaggerating at all in the title! Nice cast again, thanks for that christmas treat on these lazy days, Lowko!

Easily one of the best games of SC2 I have seen. Brilliant play and great casting!

Just gonna throw it out there that I love watching Lowko cast long SC2 pro matches and would happily watch a 2-hr Bo7.

Serral vs. Clem is freaking artwork. Love watching them.

This was game of the year contender

goddamn that was crazy patience and mind games from Clem

This is the third cast I’m seeing for this game and I’m not tired of it at all

This was an incredible Christmas present. Great cast as usual, Lowko. Happy holidays to everyone who celebrates anything this time of the year!

Mules should be limited on how many you can drop at once. Serral outplayed Clem and he just drops mules.

So glad I got to watch this live. What a game!

Amazing game! Oh my God, beautiful Christmas gift, thanks Lowko. I enjoy your chill and professional cast and more with the game of the year o maybe the decade. I love your videos ❤!

Hey Lowko Shoutout from the middle of Kansas in the US. Just wanted to wish you and this awesome community a merry christmas. Love your content- you got me back into watching SC2. Appreciate you sir!

Great game! Merry Christmas, Lowko!

Merry Christmas Lowko, been great watching you all these years. Another great cast❤❤

love watching different casters take on this game.....this series or game 3 will go down in the lore of SC2....legendary

I really like the interface upgrade of showing both players' vision on the minimap simultaneously so you can see how quickly and actively they play

Thanks , Merry christmas lowko !

Great match & cast. Merry Christmas!

Nothing better than a christmas cast for the legendary lowko! Thanks man!

I haven’t seen your SC2 vids in yearssss Lowko. But I’m so glad you haven’t changed a thing. I forgot how much fun I have watching these matches and hearing your commentary/feedback. I was on twitch for the first time in years and saw these SC2 matches. And I thought… “hmm I wonder if Lowko is still around?” Sure enough. That signature style is still there. Glad you’re still doing these!!!

Great game, they are both are amazing players and your cast was on point which made this game even more impressive, happy holidays

Merry Christmas, Lowko, everyone! Thanks for this cast, get to use my new headphones I got for Christmas today. :D 7:33 Serral's so good he can kill 2 drones in a ZvT, while playing Zerg

Game of the year !!! And on Christmas Day what a treat thanks Lowko. Hope everyone has had a merry Christmas

What a wonderful Christmas present from Lowko!

Merry Christmas Lowko. What a banger.

30:13 Serral had to finish Clem, but he gave him time to collect huge amount of minerals with mules, that time gap of one free minute cost Serral a win

Man, what a game! Thanks for the cast Lowko, we appreciate it so much!

this game was wild! happy holidays lowko and everybody :)

Thank you for providing us our daily SC 2 fix. Marry christmas, Lowko.

We enjoy your material Lowko. Keep it coming my friend.

Let's go Clem! Such amazing unit control it's wild.

Seriously, game of the year. Merry Christmas Lowko!

Merry Christmas Lowko!!

Mules are so broken

wooo merry christmas, week old lowko!

Another Christmas with Lowko... Gotta grab some eggnog! Merry Christmas Lowko

Merry Christmas Lowkow!

This deserves the title such a good game! Casting top notch too

🤩 Clem had some amazing moves, like anticipating the lurker drop

Clems mind games at the end won him the game. GG

Merry Christmas lowko! Love the videos, pretty bad at the game but because of your videos I'm getting better :D

Terrans seem allergic to ravens, which is very weird. They could go hellbat + medivac to counter zerglings and add in ravens with some cyclones to destroy the larger units. Not only could you easily transition to this comp after a hellion harass but it would also save more energy to be used for mules (instead of constantly scanning the creep). Now that's something I would love to see!

Merry Christmas Lowko😁

Is so weird to see Serral make mistakes. Clem is so good.

What an amazing game from both players!

You had to try about 10 times this year, but this really is the greatest game of the year. Merry chrysler!

Merry Christmas errbody!

Thanks for the great cast! ^^

I knew you were going to cast this ! I was there watching it live , my comments are there

you wished me a merry christmas on Feb 19 2024. Guess I’m behind on watching every second of Lowko

I honestly thought: "Really Lowko? Every month or so you have 'Game of the Year'". But this one really *is* the game of the year 🙂

Haven't watched any pro SC2 in years. This was very great!

Christmas lowko cast

Yes another game of the year they always fun to watch

Merry Christmas 🎄

Ajajajaj 😅 what a game, though I am big Serral fan boy but it's nice to see that he is actually mortal sometimes! Great cast, amazing game, gg

Wow can't believe the comeback!

Feliz navidad hermano, espero que la pases bien.

Another game of the year? Well this about to be a banger

thanks for the Christmas gift!

lmao this vid was uploaded 1 min before midnight of december 26(11:59pm of december 25) here in my country so Merry Christmas indeed Lowko!

surprised that there is no "game of the year" in the thumbnail

Merry christmas to all my SC2 fans. Let's keep this game alive for many more years so I can watch more banging games casted by the GOATED caster!

Merry Christmas!!! 🥳🎄

entaro adun executor! this is my game my college days 90's. now im 47 i still playeds it!

I just love ZvT because of the many, many little skillchecks. The first reaper can get a kill or not. 1 1 timing might deal some dmg, a nice bane bust deletes a mineral line. All those create advantages, but none big enough to be game deciding. And so it is always a back and forth. One person holds the advantage, then messes up and has to play safe. You are just always on your toes on how and when the next engagement is coming

Im hands down to Clem's intuition on the lurker drop , if zergling wasnt there , Clem would manage to kill some of it. I think Serral shouldve gone for broodlord even swarm host when Clem started turtling.

"Imagine owning this IP and doing nothing with it" - the statement of the decade (though admittedly there's a ton of SC2 modes I've never played)

So exciting! Wow!

Merry christmas y'all!

I have enjoyed every game of the year for the past 35 years!

My favorite is best of 7s. More lowko the better.

Those last 5 mins were really crazy

The thumbnail did not disappoint!

Yes please. More best of 7s. Oooooor sneaky PvP st the end of a shorter game

Been watching you for years @Lowko, this was honestly one of your most blind/Serral-biased casts I've seen in a LONGG time. I'd say you've been very good about it over the past 2 years. Breaking it down: - Outside of the early game, Clem was hands down stomping Serral through the entire match, Lowko: - "I favor Serral in this type of match", instead of seeing what's happening in the game based on merit of cost-efficiency, position, and tech it seemed like you were somewhat blindly picking the person who you wanted to win based on his "GOAT" status. I don't disagree that Serral is the GOAT, in this cast though you let that title outweight your analysis of the state of the game. - "Serral's using the banes to zone the Terran ground army" => No, Clem out played Serral and moved/split faster than Serral and Serral missed. He wasn't trying to zone him, he was trying to connect and he got outplayed. - "I don't like this at all" => You don't like this for your favorite player in the world. - "It's starting to look desprate for Serral" around @26:00. It's been looking desperate since the @19:00 minute mark after he's lost to Clem's fantastic chokes, and even dropped a base to his pushes. - "it's still a disaster for the Frenchman" => he lost like 3 ghosts and made perfect pickups while taking down more corrupters. The game was amazing, but this was less analytical than you normally are. Hope you stay focused on the merit of the game rather than worry about who's "supposed" to win in the future. Takes away from fantastic plays of other players when you cough it up to "Serral doing bad" instead of "Clem doing amazing". This game wasn't close, it was stomp by Clem and he deserved that level of appreciation in this game.

Missed oppotunity to put game of the year clickbait title

INSANE GAME. good christmas viewing!!

It's my third time watching this match. It is truly insane.

Best thumbnail ever!

Terrans being OP as usual.

Wow what a game

Great game

Amazing game!

I remember watching a Serral vs Clem match back when Serral was in one of his eras where he was unbeatable. It was almost a forgone conclusion that Serral would win any match he played, but Clem just kept his head and dismantled Serral piece by piece.

there needs to be a lowko playlist that just includes all of the "game of the year" every year

Great great game!!! Clem is a absolute legend!!

Great game! any tips for new esports casters?

Where is the video Game of the year of the game of the year?! :D There were so many game of the year. Love your Videos and your passion. I have never played SC2 but i always like RTs games ( i play SC1 often). Dont know how i found your channel, and now i'm hooked!

Fudge Yeah!!! what an epic game!

bout damn time you casted this

One thing ive been wondering about TvZ, if a raven gets mind controlled by an infestor, cant terran just kill it before it has time to cast the armor reduction and then replace it? Sure they lose a raven in the process but I rarely, if ever, see a unit get mind controlled and survive. They could also try to keep the skill on cd as much as possible to make it less likely that zerg can use it. + if the ravem sight range is longer then the infestor cast range (which i assume it is) the infestor should be detected and targeted before it can reach the raven no?

As a French, was surprised of your smooth pronounciation of "Clément" haha

i know im an eternal noob , but can somebody please explain to me why when attacking a base no one sends the ultras in first?, why losing any amount of zerlings to widow mines or photon cannons?, any takers?

Hey @lowko, have you tried doing a series with each game being a video and then ordering them in a playlists? It might spoil the result, but might be a way to please all audiences. I do like long videos os SC2, but usually split viewership of a long one across different moments in the day and stop at the end of a game in general. Thanks for the content!!

Serral not upgrading flying unit armor to max likely cost him this. The Corrupters were getting smoked by the Vikings for a very long time.

34:26 good thumbnail indeed 👍

I love Clem, my favorite Terran. I love Serral also. When they both play unforgettable games are played

Drinking game: Everytime Lowdo says "Okay!" take a drink. If you don't want to die, I recommend something relatively mild.
