Even though MaxPax has been raising up to be arguably the best Protoss in EU, there is still a gap between him and the top dogs in KR, especially in PvT.
EU toss has been a joke for a long time. Showtime and Mana were probably the best for a long while, but to find an EU toss that could make a dent in Korea you'd have to go all the way back to Naniwa.
NA toss is where foreign hope has generally been, and even now I'd say Neeb and maybe even Astrea are better than Maxpax. So saying he's the best in Europe is damning him with faint praise.

This is probably Serral's best chance all year, seeing as he gets to dodge both Clem and Reynor and only has to play against one strong opponent in the final. Getting Heromarine and Bunny in the QF and SF is honestly one of the easiest brackets in recent memory for a premier tourney. Bunny has improved massively recently i'm hopeful for a good series. I think Bunny could steal a map, maybe two if he gets a bit creative, but Serral would be very upset if he lost to Bunny. No offense intended of course, but a player of Serral's level should be sweeping the series 3-0 easily
I think Bunny would have a shot without ping, he improved massively and went 3-2 vs Dark.
Dark managed to beat Clem and Serral just can’t ; sure the ping didn’t help Clem but Bunny is for real.
With ping though, it will probably 3-1 Serral and at best 3-2.
Trap beating Dark is also massively good for Serral lol, we can almost give him the trophy right now!

Outside of Neeb one as to go back to Huk to have a really good NA Toss. (outside of the legendary Arium)
China was were it was at.
Edit: What do you guys think, under or over 40 minutes?
|
Over, there will be another longish game where Serral looks in control the whole time to push the series over 40 minutes.
|
Been a while since I've seen a korean terran deal this badly against the pool first cc slowdown thing
|
A little worrying Serral still hasn't won this game.
Uff, finally.

Well usually terrans do scout and leave the Reaper behind when they see there's no hatch. Bunny didn't scout, because he went proxy Factory

I missed the matches again because ESL stream is not listed on the right side! Why is it so difficult to fix this bug?!

Even with the single marine and SCV defence, it's on the terran to do the dance and not lose 3 SCVs + the first marine

That's online era for you unfortunately :/

Wow, there were four fights on the map at once and Bunny lost all of them.
|
Wow, Serral just destroyed him.
|
No mention of the fact Serral just basically went mass hive 2-2 ling bane with nothing else whatsoever? That has to be new, right? Not even 3-3 - just swarming and adrelaline glands. Cool style.
|
The bracket gods dictated that Bunny somehow should get a top 4 finish at this event. Poor Dark/Clem

That was one of the least surprising series of Starcraft.
|
And Clem 4-1 this guy 
|
I can't see that one escaping Serral
|
Serral just destroyed Bunny like it was another Masters 2- player in ladder. I still cant understand, why dont all terrans use mines against Joona, since it has been like one of his only weak points already like 1-2 years in a row now. Clem can beat Serral still regularly either with super aggressive play or longer game with mines. But Clem is of course in another level compared to Bunny anyways. Not sure if Bunny could have had chance even with mines, but should have at least went for it.
