Maru got to go through both Reynor and Dark, Serral breeze through Elazer and probably HM. Serral should be able to take this, just want a close series.

Plus Maru had to use so many builds already to defeat these top zergs :x, and he will be playing at 4-5am. If he even wins one or two games I will be impressed

The players are used to it Actually I honestly wish Maru would fall asleep and missed the finals, to show how ridiculous this is.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

The good thing is that he doesn't play super tournament monday, but thursday so he has time to get back to a decent sleep schedule / prepare a thing or two.

yeah, it would sucks if it were Dark, whos going to play tomorrow. I guess Maru did him a favor and let him go to bed early enough.

The caster forgot that only Rogue defeated Maru in bo5 TvZ games before, but Maru managed to revenge in final ROG and final DH Masters. He NEVER lost to Serral though in any of Bo5 matches in 2021.


They played A SINGLE bo5, "never" seems a little inappropriate.

I just do not have any faith that HeroMarine has the APM or multitasking to beat Serral in the late game like this. Prove me wrong Gabe, but I've seen enough of your TvT to have serious doubts.

I haven't seen much of SC2 lately, but I checked some Maru's games and he seems to keep more ghosts alive which may break HMs neck.

Edit> Well, talking about surviving ghosts...

Damn HM was in a really good spot but Serral completely outplayed him in that lategame scenario.
HM was just running around trying to put out fires until he was put in an allin situation.

Also Serrals Infestor play is sexy

tbf HM got quite a bit done after being put in that allin situation but it was not enough
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Very impressive showing from HM, considering that was the most favored Zerg map after Pride is vetoed.

Nothing against Gabe but really sad Clem lost we could have had a close TvZ. This is just a smackdown. It looks close at the start but the later the game goes the more apparent is that Gabe just does not have the skill to keep up with Serrals speed, army control and multi-tasking. Its a huge difference...

Once lurkers are out, Gabe's out.

Game 1 was close but after that it was kinda one sided, as I feared :/. At least Maru only plays at 4am because of the 3-0.
Serral should have this given the conditions but maybe Maru has something up his sleeve

Serral vs Maru finals
France still having a shot at being the chess european champion with Firou crossing the 2800 rating.
A good evening in perspective !
