The main advantage is its cost 0.5 supply, so instead of 10 more roachs, you can have 40 banelings at 200/200.

Can someone significantly better than myself explain the motivation?
Basically all zerg comps involve a healthy number of ling/banes especially when Reynor is playing.

Because the composition itself is just good and standard, even if the map isn't great for it (most people would agree this is the only bad map in the pool for zerg).
That said, we know Reynor likes lurkers more than most zergs in this matchup so that would've been nice to see. Maybe he's still scarred from the herO game on this map.

I really really hope Trap wins this. He might have a shot against Serral, because Serral wouldn't lose the games Reynor almost threw (bl/infestor & late game) but he might die in the same games Reynor die so there is hope for Trap in the finals

I think you mean a celebration of friendship and personal growth where everyone is welcome, and cared for.

Trap will win a game because Serral forgets to scout? unlikely
