I do agree that sometime it's ok to stick to the boring old interview, especially with players that aren't too willing to open up. I enjoy personnal question once in a while, but Maru didn't not seemed to be into it at all. I'd rather have him explain his build choice.

Still good job for trying, he's an hard man to interview.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I like those personal questions. But when it comes to these interviews, they are stumbling over their words, forget who they will be playing next etc, just basic things like that. There doesn't seem to be any discussions beforehand as to who will ask what, or who will take the lead etc. I love that they ask these quirky questions and all, but they just need to smooth out some stuff.

Also, why is it that it is not streamed on AlphaX's channel? Isn't AlphaX one of their sponsors or the one who organised it?

Something along the line of: ''zerg is broken, I hate playing the matchup, I'm not looking forward to playing other zerg'' as the answer to the very first question he was asked.

Makes sense, but terran has more tools now that ghosts don’t lose energy when their snipe don’t go off. However you still need to fight defensively using buildings etc to soak up damage.

I think it ultimately come down to the current map pool, which are (slightly?) Zerg favored and such. Also, remember Maru had been saying how Protoss is broken for the last 2-3 years including when he won 3 of his 4 GSL finals by winning TvP.

SDC is a major sponsor for the event, so the quarterfinals are streamed on his channel. We will be moving over to the AlphaX Channel for the semis and finals

I kinda want Clem to win because he has a shot versus Serral, whereas HeroMarine would probably get destroyed yet another time against Serral

On the other hand Clem would have had no shot vs Maru while Serral very well could.

I think Serral is very happy with this, he has a real shot at winning the whole thing now.
Having to beat Clem + Maru or Dark back to back would be difficult

Have we had a Serral Maru finals yet?

Obviously great run by HM. Ragnarok, Zest, Clem, and 1-2 vs Rogue

Serral's guaranteed to be in the finals now.

GL to Big Gabe if he can even take a map off Serral.

It's unfortunate for Clem, but this virtually guarantees a good final. Serral v Maru and Serral v Dark are both excellent matchups, whereas the potential Maru v Clem would probably have been a stomp based on recent results.
