Interesting predictions, should have gone classic > dark to keep the underdog winning though

Showtime even with Maru, Serral winning over Inno in the polls. What kind of people do vote in these?!

Can't believe the poll favoring Serral right now. Unless he's done an overnight transformation he's screwed considering Kelazhur could've pushed him to game 5 if his mechanics were just a tad better.

i guess one somewhat close (but not really) match and two complete roflstomps is just a tad away from a close 5 maper.

sounds like an unbiased evaluation of the situation to me, 3:0 inno it is

Rogue ruined my shot at perfect RO16 predictions last time. This time I hope SpeCial and Serral ruin my predictions. Love them!

EDIT: Didn't realize RO4 would be played as well!

Finally, western fanboy tears will begin to shed in 10 short hours. Hopefully maynard doesnt cast serral, Id have to mute the stream.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!

Think Innovation is very do-able for Serral. He could actually get to the finals now.

It is strange. You'd think this would be a prime opportunity for his schtick. Perhaps he's waiting for all foreigners to go extinct in the semis.

Problem is if serral gets whacked by innovation, fans will say that the serral hype was way overblown, despite the fact that rogue also got whacked but no one is saying hes not a top two Zerg.

If Koreans get destroyed by other Koreans it's no big deal no matter who it is, if any foreigner gets destroyed its a huge deal and very indicative.

There's no real solution, its just that since serral doesn't regularly play Koreans it will always be a little tricky to judge him

If Showtime wins does it prove a point for foreigners or does it keep us guessing who is better because it wasn't Serral?

There would be an easy solution: hold a proper GSL vs. world event that is not a single elimination bracket with in-region matches to boot. Show enough korean vs. foreign matches to provide sensible comparison. Sadly the powers to be avoid that like the plague, presumably in fear of destroying the precious narrative of foreigners getting better.

Idk about that, I think the general consensus was that he had no chance against the Korean Terrans coming into this but against the rest he stood a decent to good chance. I would agree with that as well.

vs Dark or Rogue I'd of said he has a 50/50 shot.

against Stats he had a decent shot, maybe a slight underdog

Probably couldn't take soO...outside of a finals anyway ;p

Totally favored against Zest or Classic

The Terrans however are not only the two best since HotS who excel in TvZ, but also, Serral's ZvT is his worst MU and he doesn't exactly have a lot of good foreign talent in that department to practice with. So yeah, I see no chance for him.
