This series was just as terrible for Serral as TSL6 and played out in a very similar way. He lost to ling flood after a successful early defense once more and tried to nydus Dark before mutas once again; he knows Dark wants to go mutalisks, Dark knows he wants to allin so why doesn't he do something different?
It's probably the first time Serral gets rekt by the same strategies in two instances so far in time(he lost multiple times to the same strategies in the same tournaments before), I'm frankly disappointed.

TIME could still do something... But yeah, probably Dark INno Serral now.

Yea I'm sure it's just "luck" that Serral always manages to avoid Groups of Death.

It's kinda confusing how Serral can be an EU zerg and have ZvZ be his worst matchup.

Is there any world where Serral doesn't get out? Even if he loses to INno he would need some 3-2 tie shenanigans to not make it

No it actually makes a lot of sense. ZvZ doesn't play to Serral's strengths..

Let me disagree. ZvZ was a very interesting, more stable and definitely not stupid matchup in previous metas! The problem with Serral's ZvZ(especially against Dark) is that he is not finding an answer, it's awful.

Sure, if Time beats him (it's not an impossibility) he can steal third place.

Well it's the same for everyone, he would need to lose to Time or Bunny.

I agree with you this time. ZvZ as it is now doesn't play to Serral's strenghts unlike it did in the past and, in addition to that, Serral has been quite stubborn refusing to go mutalisks and giving his opponents an edge letting them know he hates that strat.

But ofc the top 3 we'll probably get was expected, and quite logically so

Then I guess, there's a world where Time 2-0 Special and Dark, and Dark beat INno and Serral drop maps against the two Terran and we got some math to do.

It's always funny. Also Phoenixes lifting landed Vikings.

Special should just keep playing mech in TvT.

Alright, now is Dark going to go for his trademark ill advised Ravager style? Probably.
|
sad thing is that either special or time are not going to enjoy main stream exposure and that saddens me. Thry did it perfectly yesterday showing all players why 3 dark games in a row?
