His level of play doesn't seem BlizzCon's but I hope it will be enough. | ||

He's still on monstrous form and everyone should beware, he can still roll over all tournaments this year again! Was that a snipe though? I agree his chances are even better in bo7, but a bo5 where soO played standard every map cant be called a snipe. soO just had confidence that his standard style and great mechanics measured up to serral's and we saw he was right. He didn't play a tailor made strategy to take advantage of Serral's game's predictability (of whatever remains of it nowadays), like say, classic did last year at one of the early tournaments, when he 3-0ed Serral who was on a tear having just defeated Trap (who was playing really well) and Zest. I think Serral made more mistakes then usual, put people have this impression that he never or rarely makes mistakes. I think he makes mistakes, less then other players true, but not by much, but just plays so well around them. He plays at such a higher level that even some play that he executed but not well for his standards is still better than other players could execute. By the way: we call series the whole boX Like a bo7 is one series of 7 games, also called matches. For example: From 2018 to now, Serral is 2-0 in offline series against Rogue, 2-0 against Dark and 1-1 against soO. In matches: 5-2 against Rogue, 6-1 against Dark and 4-4 against soO | ||

So the more difficult a task, the more mistakes show and the more they matter. Against the other aforementioned players he sometimes powered through bad moments just by his superior engagements and multitasking. But not soO. Even better zergs like Rogue or Dark dont have soO's mechanics, relying more on out smarting or having the better plan against the opponent. I think he may have been less focused and had less preparation then say at blizzcon, but if the series was against another zerg he would have won and made less mistakes | ||

Last WCS event Serral had some close calls against other players who are very good to top level players like Reynor, Lambo and Scarlett, but this is the first time imo Serral had to play zvz against someone at or close to his level in raw mechanics. Those roach ravager vs roach ravager battles were something else. Here was someone whose game plan wasn't to try to outsmart him, but to rely on mechanics and hit perfect timings etc. So the more difficult a task, the more mistakes show and the more they matter. Against the other aforementioned players he sometimes powered through bad moments just by his superior engagements and multitasking. But not soO. Even better zergs like Rogue or Dark dont have soO's mechanics, relying more on out smarting or having the better plan against the opponent. I think he may have been less focused and had less preparation then say at blizzcon, but if the series was against another zerg he would have won and made less mistakes What you are saying is correct to a certain extent but Serral did not lose the series because soO proceeded to constantly win Roach Ravagers battle which were more or less even. Serral's victories in g1 and g4 seemed overwhelming, much more than his losses. I had never seen him before committing mechanical errors like his failed amove into gg in g2(actually, he mismicroed zerglings into gg against Ragnarok yesterday); he fended off the attacks very well when under pressure so I won't say soO forced him to fail with his superior micro or multitasking. He was impressive at eroding soO's bank and getting back into the game in g2 and he had a very good start in g5 but he didn't press the advantage! The best Serral would have as he showed us many times last year. Serral donated soO the advantage much more than he usually does with unforced errors and basically lost half of the times because of his decision making when he himself had the advantage. It's decisiveness and killer instinct where soO clearly was superior in the series; thus said, Serral would have beat a lesser Zerg as soO did play very well. To sum up, I'd say Serral played slightly better on average mechanically during the engagements but was made more critical errors while soO capitalized his tactical advantages way better(not strategically as he could close the game in a much safer and faster way in g3 with higher tech, Serral had to defend constantly and could have never afforded it). | ||

My head was starting to hurt hearing Pig say "an uncharacteristic mistake" all the time  | ||

In matches: 5-2 against Rogue, 6-1 against Dark and 4-4 against soO i read this before. im not a zvz expert, but even i saw soo did a bo whats kind of a new meta, isnt it? staying on 2 base, fast upgrade with fast / mulitply overseers to contaminate the upgrades of the opponent, just to jump on a really nice roach timing on from 2, 2.5 and 3 bases eco with superior upgrades. serral had problems to adapt to this strategy all games. and the much more critical point: soo just has built on the fact that serral would fe all games. he played more greedy in the early game. for example in the last game he would have died easily to a rush build on that small map. soo played this bo5 really clever and did snipe the player serral and didnt play a standard game by definition. however soo played awesome, with really good decision making, macro, micro and multitasking. i would love to see them meet each other again soon! | ||
