HM was doing so many weird things with his build order today, and I am not sure if those achieved anything. Like that Double Reactor for 6 Reapers, which is a massive 300 gas that probably delay his tech unit (Tanks/Vikings/Cyclone) by a bit. I thought HM also was too aggressive for his own good, somehow both sides main army manage to avoid each other many times, and HM army always arrive later and deal less damage.

Being French and all, I have to be a bit torn about that, but I really want Serral to take it all this time, the guy had to cope with too many frustrations as of late. So go Serral !

So coming from the upper bracket, the advantages you receive include fewer matches, a 1-0 lead, and first map pick?

Hmm Serral gets creep denied, is completely blindsided by Clem's first major push and dies, then Clem completely misreads Beckett and loses. Not what I expected.

Kinda surprised Clem didn't expect this rush

How is target firing banelings like that actually done? Shift-click each of the moving banelings?

Loved to see Serral's reaction when he washed up.

Serral needed a broodlord transition if he wanted to win that game. Though really his best choice to win would have been the roach push that Rogue used against Maru on this map in the GSL finals.

EDIT: anyone know what the next map is?

At this level with clem mechanics if he does not take a random baneling he just wins. I don't why he did not anticipate the ravager all in from serral because on this map terran is super strong against zerg so zerg must initiate...

g4 was a beautiful battle of mechanics, super high level of skill from both sides. I hope the series goes on for two more games
