Do you have anything else? Yeah, it feels like all he can do at this point is execute better. Peak execution Clem can beat Serral, but going from iffy execution to your best execution in between series when you're already tired is really difficult. Even if his aggressive style is good enough 90% of the time more strategic depth would really help him. He's still young though, I'm sure he'll grow over time. | ||

His typical style won't hold up to the likes of Serral or Reynor in good form as evidenced here. He won the only game in the Bo5 first finals by doing a different build/strategy/opening. | ||

Even if Serral doesn't win, the past 8 HSC's hes gotten 1st or 2nd, stupendous record. Excellent final day, excellent tourney. Astrea leveling up was fun to see as well. | ||

It's also fairest - everyone gets to lose one series in the playoffs. I would prefer for the second match to be a bo5 as well, bo3 feels too volatile for determining a tournament, but considering how long these days are already having the second match be bo3 is understandable. | ||

Big Clem fanboy here, and I respect Serral; as long as he's not playing against Clement. I just rage-quit from watching the stream as it seems inevitiable that another HSC goes to the Finnish Phenom. It's just frustrating Clem's not able to crack the safe to Serral at all this series. Just would like for Clem to win an offline HSC. Maybe another time. | ||
