Actually I found Dark's play looked "cleverer", especially the choice to go mutas in game 2. However, Serral's capacity for multitasking and in-battle decision-making was unworldly, as it always is. Knowing exactly how many roaches he can split off to go and massacre a mineral line but still hold the main battle, and execute that, time and time again is incredible.

Holy hell, today starts at 10pm, a full 4 1/2 hours later than the other esports.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Hard to look "clever" if every game you play is simply text book and as close to perfect as it gets nowadays

I looked at the schedule and it seems like a HotS semifinal takes three hours? Also it looks like it doesn't overlap much with other finals and closes out Blizzcon which seems good.

man... Serral is so so so good!

Amazing play against dark.. it's not like Dark played bad.. Serral simply had a game plan, executed it perfectly and simply outclassed Dark in micro and macro..

Best foreigner all time for sure

It's a blizzcon tradition to close out all esports with StarCraft on main stage.

Fnatic winning would have been a nightmare, sucks for sOAZ though.

Oh I am pretty sure that's Overwatch now. But yeah I don't mind it ending late of course, it's cool to get hosted at the end too, but it's not just starting 1 or 2 hours later, it's starting almost 5 hours later.

They could've put something in that 4 hour gap.

Edit: I am wrong, Overwatch is scheduled to end earlier and it's acutally WoW and sc2 closing out the esport. Although I don't see the sc2 final taking up 2 1/2 hours like in the schedule.

So for quarterfinals Aligulac predicted winners correctly for 2/4 matches, predicted score correctly in 1/4 matches and was 55% correct in predicting point distribution(11 correct 9 incorrect).

Interesting facts for the semis:

Serral has over 80% win probability vs all the opponents left
Rogue has over 70% win probability vs both protoss players
Serral doesnt have a losing h2h against any of the remaining players(2-2 vs rogue)
Rogue doesnt have a winning h2h against any of the remaining players(2-2 vs Serral)

Game 1) Why did Maru suicide a Medivac and three Mines for no damage? He could have just turned around - only way boosting straight for the mineral line would work there is if $O$ move command missclicks his Stalkers at least two times (not the first time Maru makes this particular mistake)

- he played with all 3 production buildings on the map (betting/aiming on hyper aggression). If he aligned his whole strategy on said aggression, and then when it came down to execute (the attack), he turns around that would also put him behind.
- Theres basically several outcomes:
1) risk the units and get damage
2) risk the units and get no damage (which is what happened)
3) dont risk the units and get no damage

He thought outcomes 1 and 2 were both preferable to 3.

You're not reading the situation correctly. Maru could only pick between suiciding the units doing no damage OR not suiciding them.

Maru often has committed to widow mine drops he shouldn't have because he would have been behind if the protoss played well. But this mistake of his was particularly damning - there was no way what he did could work out (outside of ridiculous things like sOs move commanding his stalkers).
