man, a 1-0 lead, and also getting to veto a map, is a pretty big advantage for the winners bracket player

if the winners bracket player got the 1-0 lead, and the losers bracket player got the map veto, then it would be basically the same thing as no advantage full bo7 except the winners bracket player gets an autowin for the first game which would be the veto'd map

debatable which way is better, just a thought if we want something that still gives an advantage but not as extreme

Serral looks too unstoppable whereas Maru showed some weakness. I fear a 4 - 0. Let's hope for good game at least. Too bad this isn't a real bo7 tho

This finals should be pretty difficult for Maru, the map pool is not good for terran and Serral is up one map and a veto.
Still, he should be able to take a game or two to make it a series!

Isn't the map pool considered the best for terran in a good while?

I don't think Maru can do it though, hopefully he can take one of the first two map to make it a series.

Maru has the advantage going in due to terran favor maps this season

However Serral’s skills will just be too much for Maru to handle this tournament

Hoping for a close back and forth 7 games between them

However Serral looks unstoppable at the moment

yeah it's a much better map pool for Terran.

Maru can absolutely take this imo; Serral should be the favorite tho given the upper-bracket advantage

no, it looks like the "first pick" is actually the veto (on the principle that the first map played is an automatic 1-0). we start on Maru's map it looks like.

Doesn’t seem like it, other terrans struggle a lot and even Maru has troubles. Granted, the previous map pool wasn’t great but it was also due to the patch (and pride of altaris being terribly bad)

Rogue won his last GSL finals against Maru doing shit like this.

Surprise surprise, when someone is known for playing for the late game, that if you rush them you throw them off of their game.

Great choice from Serral, we'll see how Maru adjusts or if the whole series goes like this.

yeah I know but it feels like in this tournament ppl have been giving Maru a lot of respect & letting him get away with stuff; good on Serral to keep him honest
