Yeah I just think if players like Cure and ByuN are sometimes able to decisively beat Serral in macro games HM should at least be able to take maps and make the series closer

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure he should have succeeded in busting Trap's 3rd, so in that sense it's pretty bad.

I agree but this makes his hesitation at the 3rd even less understandable

Look at the bright side, if Dark lose this series, he has an extra day to rest and prepare for Rogue in GSL on Monday. He wont be F by ESL and GSL schedule like Maru last time.

Wait I just realized these games are played live. Why didn't they just start them early and cast the replay? Or move the games around so KR vs KR played first and then EU vs EU played last? It's 4AM in Korea. Wtf.
Yeah it makes zero sense to have trap/dark go last

Dark played like an idiot. no infestors for shroud while playing mass hydra vs mass carriers?? yah the dude should study games from other pro zergs, maybe even a guy called Dark  He should, Dark didn't play as well today as he has in the past. Cut him some slack. ESL forcing him to play at 4AM instead of 12AM does that to a person's mind.
Also, he has GSL match to prepare this Monday too.

Probably but I guess he forgot to bring enough hydras to kill 6 voids over a battery for his roach/hydra bust.

He had them, but he chose to pull them back to fight the Adept/Disruptor coming from the natural, leaving a mostly Roach army to fight the Void Rays. It was just an awful split of his army.

To be fair, it would be really dumb of the koreans to not get accustomed to this beforehand, if any of them makes it to the final it will probably be even later and you want to be in top shape then.

It's reasons like this why I can't take SC2 season finals seriously...

Cure and Byun playing much more agressive than HM ever did in that last series. by making a super early 3rd CC, HM simply telling Serral that he can build whatever the hell he wants and doesnt have to worry about anything other than some Helion runby which Serral can defend easily.
Byun and Cure would have made 16-20 Marines, or do Hellbat push, or some crazy Mine Drop that force Serral to make more army, less economy and tech.

All in all though this is about as uninspiring as Dark's GSL Ro16 performance. But against more punishing opposition.

Darks execution not on point today.

Not during their GSL code S season, DH Global Final could have started 2-3 weeks ago, after the DH EU finished, then we might have less conflict. Cant expect player to prepare and schedule for 2 tournament at much different timezone at the same time. Imagine asking Clem Serral and Reynor playing at 2am and see how they say.

These infestors seem useless

Much better from Dark this game
Shroud is good, anyone? Infestors are good units!

Interceptors react weirdly to being fungaled.

Whoa Dark made it back into the game!
