There was a pretty big tactical blunder with the rocks though, Serral at least would have saved 10 drones and maybe the base though probably not if he already dealt with that.

We should resume this debate after she kisses the GSL trophy She's gotten out of the Ro32 once in four tries, and ever since she started fiddling around with korea in ~2015 (first going to SSL), she's had next to no WCS results. For that to manifest itself in one good IEM run and then a Ro8 shitstomp vs soO (or best case, losing 0-4 to Classic in semis) over almost 4 years would be pretty disappointing.

In all fairness, Neeb looked really shaken after his match vs soO, and Neeb even won his first series against Rogue.
Besides, most people this tournament haven't looked great vs Classic. I will add that it was Elazer who took one of the two maps off of Classic.

Serral has the mechanics of a top korean, he only need to improve his scouting and choose better builds.

Why do I get this sneaky feeling that if it's Rogue vs Classic in the finals, Rogue will just Nydus rush his way to the title?

Rogue has a history of proxy hatching Classic out of important games iirc

Serral could learn a lot from her 'winning at any costs' approach, and her cheesing out of INno was pretty goddamn awesome. I just think it's silly to act as though it's a huge breakthrough when she's gotten really good bracket luck and she's not in a position to even dream of Blizzcon.
