Be ahead for a good amount of time but still mess up so badly that you'll eventually lose. Soul could've had G3 easily and G4 shoudl've been over way earlier. It's how the best foreigners used to play and lose against koreans back in the days! Are you foreseeing a 2-2 then?
Maybe but Stats is too solid.

SouL should have this, let's see how he messes up. Edit: WP

Luolis feeding souL builds for the win!

Quite anticlimactic end to this series.

Stats with the savage pause
It has been a great series though

Soul's risky play payed off a few times despite a unit control which is not the best (overstim, tanks being too easely pick off, he is not on clem's level) That said I am happily surprised he handled this well some chaotic situations and this is a very good tournament for him.

TvZ is such a snoozefest these days

Don't be surprised when Serral Heromarine is a clampdown

whats the tvz winrate recently, like 20%?

Its more to do about the skill difference between players. Serral seems to be in GodMode again, at least against terrans. But for example Clem can give him a run for his money when he is playing well. Gabe is just not at that level.
Hopefully GOAT gets his 6th(!!!!) consecutive trophy.

Without whining too much, i just feel like there are barely any interesting or meaningful interactions throughout the game, everything seems so streamlined and played out, nothing which excites me at all. Partly it's a me thing for sure, watching sc2 for such a long time, but idk if that's all there is to it. I'm genuinely enjoying the mirrors more than tvz from a spectator pov, which is kinda crazy.

Oh yeah serral ofc is just way better than heromarine, this isn't really supposed to be a criticism on balance, just the enjoyment i get out of tvz is rather slim, even the closer games are imo quite boring and uninspiring to watch.

TvZ seems relatively balanced overall but the top Zergs definitely have way higher ZvT winrates than the top Terrans do in TvZ. It seems like Maru/TY/Clem/Byun still regularly lose to mid tier Zergs but Serral/Dark/Reynor and Rogue when he's in form basically never lose ZvT except in close series to the top 4 Terrans. That's actually just a problem with Zergs in general. It's so much easier to be consistent.

Interactions are definitely meaningful but yeah, it looks more and more like a mechanical test. Maru is very unique though, I'm not sure why no other terrans test his style.

It's pretty much always been the case in SC2 that the race with the most incentive to be aggressive in match up become worst off in the long run, especially for non top player. (HOTS TvP, Swarm host PvZ, turtle mech)
I do think ultra late game tvz is not as bad as it once was and I think Terran player will gain back some ground. (well they already have).

Rogue 3-1 Serral, then Serral goes to the lower bracket, demolishes everyone and takes the final 4 - 2 over Rogue.

That's actually just a problem with Zergs in general. It's so much easier to be consistent. I mean, it's not obvious that TvZ is balanced overall either. For the last two periods, the overall winrate was 45.7%.
http://aligulac.com/periods/288/?sort=&race=ptzrs&nats=all http://aligulac.com/periods/287/?sort=&race=ptzrs&nats=all
For the month of February, TvZ was 46.62% and over the last year it has been consistently even or Zerg favored.

The skill difference is pretty huge sadly.

TvP is just brutal for foreigner vs koreans. When was the last bo5 a foreigner won?
