If Rogue(or Dark himself) were the one taking down Maru we'd have been already reminded by now how strong and smart they are. the only one showing bias here is you man. You keep bringing serral 24/7. you literally worship him, its cringeworthy. | ||

The guy just failing math, even if we assume Maru is on equal footing with the top Zergs (the ONLY player in the world who is capable of that so far), that means he has a 50/50 chance to beat one top Zerg at a time, but he need to win 3 in a row to win the tournament, that leave us a whooping 12.5% chance of a non-Zerg winning any tournament, depending on how the bracket works out. Yeah, Zerg is OP, at least on the current map pool. | ||

Yeah, Zerg is OP, at least on the current map pool. On the flip side even if you retool things you’re still left with 4 Zergs who are a clear tier above in their race, and Maru largely standing alone. It’s not like Zergs outside of those 4 have been crushing it for the last few years | ||

I mean just with the eye-test watching these games I feel Zerg has way more room for mistakes and more opportunities to make plays than terran. Not even speaking of ZvP, I think it's even worse there | ||

It’s not like Zergs outside of those 4 have been crushing it for the last few years True, but even then I would still blame the map pool, it should be designed such that other Top Terran has a better shot at beating top Zerg, not Maru alone carry the TvZ matchup. Cure and Clem, who are the 2 other best Terran, and occasionally HM, who need the buff more than Maru himself in this matchup. Cure used to be able to 3-0 Serral or 2-0 Reynor in some tournament before, but now hes literally un-winnable against those guys, like all of his "tools" got stripped away somehow. Clem is still finding his way out of the limbo he is in, and unlikely to get out anytime soon. | ||

The non top 4 Zergs have low motivation currently because even if they improve they will still lose the ZvZs. Plus Solar is a choker. | ||

With the form he showed he would have lost offline anyways though ZvZ is extremely volatile, Reynor just has a read on Serral even w/o scouting properly, I don't think it has to do anything with the online part. Rogue got absolutely dominated by Serral in late game, then just went with random all ins every game and almost beat Serral. | ||

Serral did say in an interview pre Katowice that he thought his more reactive style was better offline than online, and considering how much better his offline record is against top Zergs than his online record there might be something to that. Or maybe he just peaked for Katowice. Serral did just play worse today though, it's not like he got heavily mind gamed. He played worse in the straight up games. | ||

Thats why people are not excited about ZvZ in general, especially in Grand Final, you just dont get lots of good series from that. TvZ almost always guarantee a long and exciting match at the top level, then PvZ could also go either way, depending on who the Protoss is. Edit: And now we get to see if its 4-0 or 4-1 in the GSL. | ||

Despite the addition of multiple minor Zerg nerfs and new maps. But who knows, maybe the balance "council of the wise" will get things back on track by agreeing to add 0.20 second to lurker burrow time or raise baneling prices by 5 minerals before 2023. I'm not sure if the top Zerg in the council would agree to such daring changes, but we can hope. | ||
