I think the most imporant thing was that he did not mis-read any of the build Dark did. As long as Serral can know the right build and react on time, hes almost unbeatable. | ||

edit: Which is good for him because, as we know, if he got second in that group that's bad - and if he got third he would be absolutely awful. And let's not even talk about fourth... | ||

Yeah, it seems like he could've gotten the same done with just 3-5 Ultralisks since the biggest win from that transition was making Time mass Marauders, making Serral's Mutas very effective. Edit: I can see why Serral used "confident" 14 times in his interview. | ||

Really I've just been impressed by the general games these first few days, the level of the game is really something to behold compared to when it all started in WoL! | ||

But when Serral is playing like that, I think he needs to switch tactics. That's why Maru plays more defensively like he does now. In both games, Serral was punishing him hard whenever he tried to move out with more than just skirmishers. In straight up fights TIME was actually playing really cost efficiently, it's just not really possible to match Zerg mobility especially when you are relying heavily on Thors and Siege Tanks. Either that, or he has to rely on something more committed in the early or midgame before Zerg can maximize a 4-5 base economy. He was playing into Zerg's hands the way he handled that series. The hyper mobility of Ling/Bling/Muta WANTS you to fight on two fronts at once. TIME was only figuring out too late in the games that he had to either commit to an attack or not and by that point Serral just had too many bases and too many Hatcheries for TIME to ever successfully win a base race. | ||

Well, he beat Dark, so that's good Bo3 ZvZs hardly tell anything of a story. Especially when Dark loves to flip coins in that match up. That one was always going to go either way. The fact he isn't dropping maps at all in the other match ups is more telling. Now Dark has no real chance of taking first place even if Serral seriously screws up a series which he wont considering TIME is the best opponent other than Dark in this group and he just crushed him. | ||
