He’s the Tom Brady of SC2, wins so much that at some point it becomes too predictable and people want something different, but he still just keeps winning.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

What do you want to bet on the finals not being ZvZ again then ?

Playing Zerg is definitely not making it harder for him though.

Serral's biggest "weakness" is defending early timings. I don't get why Inno decided to play straight up 3cc for three games. Maybe he didn't really feel comfortable playing other builds.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

So basically only allin vs zerg?
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Serral's biggest "weakness" is defending early timings. I don't get why Inno decided to play straight up 3cc for three games. Maybe he didn't really feel comfortable playing other builds.

If he had a week time maybe he would have had 5 builds. With the time he had the most he could manage to come up with was the game 2 build.

Inno is very good at preparation formats for a reason.

The games vs Inno were close and elazer choked in both games. But didn't Maru crush him?

If sOs can make his way to the final, that is already an amazing run.
Remember he is in lower bracket, where he has to beat all top players in each race.
sOs is THE ONLY player I pay attention to
