EPTI'm surprised Terran players don't just 8 rax all-in him at 7-8 minutes. Otherwise he makes late game look like WOL broodlord/infestor patchzerg era, except you know, he's actually an insanely good zerg, so his late game comp is unbeatable.

Prior to literally the last game we saw, ByuN would have had every reason to believe he could outtrade Serral late  i know recency bias is strong, but let's not get SO carried away | ||

(in which serral didn't use BL which was according to lambo a mistake during at least one game) | ||

The minimap in the last game was extremely telling. Game 2 was a slightly less dominated game than G3, but the late game outcome was exactly the same - Byun was trading efficiently, but not nearly enough to compensate for a 3-4 base disadvantage. Exact same unit comp too. Not sure how Serral 3-0d Maru, but I'd venture to guess Maru wasn't aggressive enough early game either. | ||

Serral played this series better than the one at ASUS ROG. Thus said, we have yet to see what happens if Byun enters the lategame from an even position today! It might happen later in a regame. | ||

It might happen later in a regame. I might actually agree with the CONCLUSION that late-game against Serral should be avoided, but I dislike the process through which that conclusion was reached. From ByuN's situation, with the prior info he had, his gameplan was perfectly reasonable | ||

Right now, they're having a really hard time keeping up more than four bases once zerg has full tech and the standard 6-8 bases. | ||

Well, let's not do the "Series that happened in the past invalidate what actually happened in the most recent series" either. I actually looked up the ASUS ROG games, and they were quite different. 1 game was an early game win by Byun, and the other 2 Serral was going Ultra/muta late game instead of infestor/BL. Not exactly apples to apples. | ||

Not exactly apples to apples. Infestor/BL has not been the most common lategame recently though. There definitely are terran lategame comps with thors or vikings that can be tried against that (and which did a lot to push broodlords out of the meta). | ||
