I've never been a huge Dark fan, but I'm glad to see him back in form. Incredible run from him.

He wouldn't have been, Serral's ZvZ was much better in 2019 than it has been this year.

That guy who got 4-0ed played amazing tho! Too bad Serral didn't win a game, because if he had we all know what the post match analysis would be focused on.

Phenomenal runs from both. In fairness both Dark and Serral lost a series this tournament. GGWP Dark.

This did not even feel like the finals. Very rushed play from Serral. Risky builds could have paid out but usually he takes it more safe.

I don't think he said that? Just that Dark won on strats more than mechanics which I think is fair. And there's nothing wrong with that either


The damage control is hilarious

What do you mean damage control? I'm not rotterdam... Why are you so bothered anyway? It's true that Dark won on strats. It's also true that Dark was by far the better player today, those things are not mutually exclusive. That said, Serral's mechanics didn't look amazing either

He wouldn't have been, Serral's ZvZ was much better in 2019 than it has been this year.

Reynor's ZvZ back then was just as good as Serral's and he got destroyed by Dark. Glad the people who tried to discredit his win eat their words now. (don't remember if you were amongst them)

I am usually quite impervious to Serral losing but this time I will openly rant.

What kind of obscene strats was he thinking to pull out? Serral played like if he thought himself to be the inferior player, risky strats and wrong timings, whereas the previous series showed he just had to play safe macro games to gain the edge.

One of the best TvZ series Serral played in months followed by the absolute worst series I have ever seen him play, it was so utterly disappointing. Well played to Dark I guess.

Shut Serral down completely when Serral got aggressive, massively outstrategized him in the other games.

In the game he played safe he was crushed by Dark's greedy play.
And his mechanics/multitask didn't look amazing either.
Overall he was just a doll on Dark's hand. It's not on the same level as Lilbow/Life but for a final... Well, the only bo I have in mind is nestea vs inca.

It does feel like Serral has been a good deal less "clutch" this year despite playing at not so different a level than in 2019. Probably just a perception thing though.

Game 1, Serral 12 pool did decent damage, Dark massed lings, pushed an ovie out of the way with queens and caught Serral off guard. Near instant GG.

Game 2, Serral went for an early roach attack on 39 drones, Dark held it while on 56 drones and with a lair.

Game 3, Slightly longer game. Dark got into a decent position and made mutas, keeping Serral pinned on 4 bases on Deathaura while he had 6 including a bonus gas one. Was flooding with lings and banes, eventually made several dropperlords and dropped a ton of lings in Serral's main. After that, Serral's defenses crumbled.

Game 4, Serral made gas-first fastest possible speedlings and attacked across Jagannatha. Dark saw it lateish but was able to wall then double wall with evos. By the time Serral broke through, his banes were dead and Dark's queens and lings were able to win the ensuing fight, leaving Dark with 25 drones to 17ish. Dark stayed on two bases and got a lair while Serral also rushed lair. Dark went roach speed and was going nydus. Serral went mutas. When Dark saw the spire, he abandoned the nydus idea and just went. Due to Serral's weak economy, he only had three mutas and chose to insta-gg when he saw a dozen or so speed roaches.

If you have a persecution complex on behalf of Koreans and interpret a comment saying that Dark out-strategized Serral as a put-down that's on you though.
