Its been so satisfying to watch Neeb going head to head with the best again!

Yeah I'm surprised by that, isn't he just part-time at the moment?

Certainly made for a much more epic and more exciting final day.

That is actually the weirdest thing. Neeb was basically gone from the top-level, but as soon as he decides to not play fulltime anymore he really came through again

Damn, Serral turned it on when it mattered. He really does feel like a different player offline than online.



And on the ladder, I think serral has reached numbers in mrr, no one is even close to. Something batshit crazy like 7500sr or something, so that if he loses to #2 he loses 40 points, wins 3 or something lol

It's at this point in a series I question if Clem really has a lot of depth to his strategies. We know he's fast, we know he can micro like a king. But when that clearly isn't enough and when Serral is reading you like an open book, what do you do? Go for the same openers again and again? Play the same style again and again?

Do you have anything else?


It's quite true, he needs to learn from Maru on how to deal with late-game zerg if he wants to actually take a title. 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.


+1 on this analysis from me. 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.


He is young, but he needs to evolve if he wants to get past that hump and stop being recognized as EU's best Terran yet failing to defeat the likes of the kings of zerg in Serral and Reynor.

Serral did great though, he came through clutch and I don't want to take anything away from him as he went through the lower bracket, but once again we see him win which despite his performance was anti-climatic for me. Was pleasantly surprised of Astrea's performance though, that was a great showing.


Great post, did you not feel it, in that 1st game in the 2nd finals, towards the end? I thought they played out of their minds, and just whoever did the first miss step would lose, Clem and Serral both seem to be playing out of their minds, and both could feel the loss/win any second. Thought that was mesmerizing

Thanks to TakeTV which changed the order of games, allowing Serral to play 3 games in a row forcing Clem to watch and wait the old goat...

Yeah why the lower bracket final has been played before the upper bracket final ?

Astrea should have waited for Serral in loser bracket. As you have done the contrary, i think it s a bit disrespectfull

He probably mean the Lower Bracket SEMI final, aka Serral vs Lambo, should be played after the Upper Bracket Final so that Astrea has the advantage of more rest time. It might not even matter in this case because the series of Clem vs Astrea was quite quick, but had it been a long and exausting 5-games series that last 2 hours then it would be weird for Astrea to only have a short 15 minutes break before facing Serral who had rested for over 2 hours.
I understand why HSC did it this way though, because otherwise Serral would have to play 3 series straight all the way to the Grand Final which is also too much for him. I guess there is just no perfect solution here.

I think the order of games that was chosen was fine for all but one person apparently...

Don't sweat it TakeTV. There is always that one person

It s not the order of the game which really matters. It s more about all projectors put on one person.

If the upper bracket is played before the lower bracket, the player who is waiting his opponent can watch at his performance and take a break. Astrea has played two games in a row (Clem vs Astrea, Serral vs Astrea) while the order of the tree is made for advantage the one who comes from the upper bracket.

I just want to say that. I did.
