Regardless of any argument stated trying to underrate Rogue's great resume and overpraising Serral's consistencies much, Rogue may face Serral in Bo7 series for the first time (though it is not offline) if Serral can survive against Cure who just defeated Reynor yesterday.
Looking at TY vs Rogue's competitive match history, it could be 3-2 on either side.
Interesting bracket. Don't have much hope for Rogue with what he's shown so far especially in a ZvT, but his record against TY in LOTV is quite good so maybe he can do it. Serrals ZvT seems worse than Reynors recently so Cure defo has a shot. Let's see
Cure did dish out some wonky early aggression stuff. A bit afraid for Serral here who otherwise should win this convincingly. Serral 3:1 Cure
Rogue vs TY could be another nailbiter. I would give TY a ever so slight edge cause it is Ro8ue after all. TY 3:2 Rogue
Zoun vs Clem are IMO the both the weakest Ro8 players so it's a good matchup for them both. Zouns PvT hasn't delivered yet so imma give this one to Clem Clem 3:1 Zoun
Boy oh boy. Maru and Inno. Top of my head, Inno is Marus TvT nemesis INnoVation 3:2 Maru
Wow, Clem has a tough bracket. I don’t think he can beat the Koreans in TvT even with ping... Maru has a tough one as well starting with one of the best TvTers in his worst matchup... Then it’s free until the finals where he is supposed to meet Serral (rigged bracket? :D) TY has an impossible bracket unless Cure beats Serral as well, which should not happen after playing 7 games against Reynor... and Rogue is able to beat him as well.
Good thing for the terrans and Zoun in lower bracket, is that they won’t have to show their vZ before the finals, so even if Cure fails to beat Serral, there is hope for a non Serral victory here, in spite of ping advantage.

Serral won vs Maru and Reynor lost to Cure... In my book Maru >>>>>>>> Cure

Completely different approaches tho. Maru was literally just sitting in his bases all game trying to burn through Serral's resources. Cure was bringing the heat to Reynor (who said he didn't know what to do against it).

Yeah but there is also the fact that Cure is probably more accustomed to playing with shit ping than Maru is. However he showed a lot of cards vs Reynor so knowing Serral ability to analyze, he’ll have a lot of troubles...

Overall for sure and usually in TvZ as well, but honestly I havent seen Maru play such a good TvZ which Cure showed yesterday in a long time. He held his own on 1 map vs Serral but even that was super close. Cure just straight up murdered Reynor.
