I don't see why Serral is like undefeated including vs Koreans and Maru, 4 in a row, but you think if Maru loses he would still be ahead when Serral already beat him in the H2H anyway
I personally think the only way maru could and maybe should lose his first spot for the next PR is if TY wins this final rather easily and decisively. If not you have maru making code s finals three times in a row which is still insane even if he loses one. Code S is simply higher quality competition compared to wcs.
I agree though, serral is definitely a contender but in the end he lacks the results against the top, top lvl competition because he doesn't try in code s. Doing better than maru at blizzcon would do the trick though probably.

You really need to stop taking a bo1 showmatch seriously. You know Serral lost bo1s to uThermal and TLO not too long ago? Bo1s are garbage, let alone ones that aren't a real part of a tournament.
If Maru loses here you could make the argument for TY being #1, but no one else. It doesn't matter if Serral is undefeated when he isn't playing competition as hard as either Maru or TY are.

His loss to uThermal was 4 months ago and his loss to TLO, 5 months ago.
The loss to uThermal was also his last series lost at all.

I know, the point is that a bo1 isn't a great judge of skill. I don't think Serral would not have lost any those if they were bo5 for example.
And if bo1s were played more often you can almost guarantee his winning streak wouldn't be as sick.

I want this to both be one of the shortest GSLs in history by time and also play way more games than necessary. Let's say... 2 draws goes to game 7(9) but the whole thing ends in under an hour game time?

I am so ready to watch some marines to get blown up by Siege Tanks.
Hoping the finals hit at least the two hour mark, but I feel like that's incredibly optimistic.

TY 4-2, but they're pretty neck and neck.
If Maru loses, Serral should be #3 in the next PR

TY deserves a GSL win after playing both SCs for 10+ years. While Maru's triple GSL will be legendary achievement, I think TY's last year run was already miracle. He was robbed his WCS finals win by Rogue after getting reverse-swept, if he won he could get auto win vs. soO (knowing curse) making him IEM+WESG+WCS winner "Million Dollar Terran". So gogo TY!

This is exactly what I thought. Especially considering how much emphasis they put on recent results.
Nevertheless, if Maru does lose, they are making it Serral,Maru,TY.
PS. Gosu TY fighting !!!!

Maru is just on another level once he enters in playoffs, I can't see him losing more than 2 games.

I'm looking forward to an absolute clown fiesta of a series!

Look man, you obviously are brand new to SC2 so why don't you just calm down, I already responded to one of your posts in another thread.
Serral got dumpstered 0-3 by Maru at WESG, the only tournament that they've played each other in an official match. Before GSL vs The World, Serral's results versus Koreans range from awful to ro16 status. You are new to SC2 - that's okay, just stop acting like you aren't.

I believe Maru will defeat the "Sun Terran" handily.
I see TY as the elder statesmen of Terran. He's like that old guy in the BC in the introduction video to BroodWar listening to the opera and shit while his Marines get slaughtered by zerglings. What I mean is, he has a refined style and godlike skill, but his outstanding characteristic is fast and precise decision making. He's the guy who beats Inno because he makes better split second decisions, with macro that's 95% as good as Innos.
Maru is a different breed. If you have been watching him since proleague you know what the real deal is here. My boy Maru, he's a fucking animal. He used to send a reaper and a hellion across the map and win games. Two units, GG. He is just too fast, too aggressive, and most of all he just enjoys the game too much, to not be the champ. He isn't sweating the small stuff like Gumiho or trying so hard like a robot Inno, and he doesn't have to think as much as TY, he's a natural, and he's going all the way this year.
