Of course, blue pilled Starcraft fans will say Serral is GOAT I think serral's shape is less round, no idea if you'd think that's 10 times better, beauty of shapes is in the eye of the beholder.

I do know that roach/hydra can use their melee attack in blinding cloud, and i do not have client on hand right now to test it. And even if it is so, preventing lurkers from killing your lings before they even hit anything is a win in my book.

No. I knew this guy would lose after I saw how easy his round of 16 group and round of 8 were. Serral stands no chance against Reynor. He would have lost handily to Dark too. Serral would have easily won Dark
Would have, could have. should have.

Guys, don't feed the fat troll unless you want to be entertained.

The main question now is: how good is Dark's ZvZ? I was 99% sure Serral would beat him, but now he's against the kid who defeated Serral who 3-0'ed him last year on global finals.
I wanna believe in a fairy tale where Classic gets to finals, but don't think he can pull 3 more moves from protoss BS bible. Let's see.

Also, really well played by Reynor. After beating Trap, herO and Serral, I realized that I don't give him enough credit for his skill. Everyone is wrongly fixated on Serral. Reynor is the best player of all time. Period.

Mirror match + Bo5 (as opposed to Bo7) = lots of variance. shit happens.

Pretty bummed for Serral, but still a great tournament from the Goat. Again, he took it to the brink, and needed some outstanding play to beat him.
People will go and say this is evidence he is crap etc. But clearly he is the 'one to beat' in every tournament - and that means he is the best.

Yeah. I dont understand that throw. He had a massive lead. Serra loves lurker-play and rarely goes ultras, because they just suck. He had all the time in the world to do the transition, since Reynor couldnt leave his base(s). Then he could practically camp Reynors bases and bleed him out, but somehow he was set to close the game with ultras although it failed time after time. Serral rarely is that stubborn, but now it prolly cost him the championship. Very uncharacteristic indeed.

Yeah, exactly this.
Pretty dissapointed by that game from Serral. But good luck to Reynor though !

Parting was 18 when he won the Blizzard World Cup, so Reynor would be younger.

They've been awful for quite a while in my opinion.
It was a weird choice from Serral, all things considered, to make not only Ultras but Mutas too. I wish he'd just play to try and get to a roach vs roach midgame. All zergs excel at that style to some extent, but Serral is the absolute master of that.

it's weird
serral is usually pretty humble
says that he is scared of players like neeb and showtime, before proceeding to crush him
when asked about reynor he often talking shit
"he should be easy" "he is bad at lategame"

That’s pretty cool tbh, I never considered that aspect of the Lurkers attack as it might relate to Dark Swarm

Thing is: hydra and roach very explicitly have a melee attack, i played enough with SC2Editor back in the day to know that. Do burrowed lurkers?

That's no excuse. Reynor proved today that he can beat Serral if he tries. The minute he had enough WCS points to qualify for Blizzcon, he stopped trying against Serral. He was playing on ladder against someone I was watching via stream and he admitted it. Not my words, just his.
