Really cool move from Byun to take advantage of Serral's lack of anti-air.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

Serral looking quite a bit tighter on defense than he did toward the end of 2022

Gonna have to revise his player card

Byun's game quality did a nosedive through the series.

Yeah, the liberators really got Serral into trouble, but that wall delaying all his reinforcements all the time screwed up his engagement. With a few more tanks also covering the ground there, he wins that fight decisively and instead of having to retreat he pushes into Serral's 3rd and probably wins.

Byun tried his best but a couple of minor mistake here and there allow Serral to always stay ahead.

ByuN wrists got the better end of him, that and the new maps!
Hopefully herO and Maru save the day tomorrow though!

All Serral was really doing at that point was buying time anyway for his Hydralisk transition. He had 13 Queens it was more than worth it to trade some of them out to keep Byun's army at bay and keep it from regrouping.

You saw, once the Hydralisks were out, Serral simply pushed with his next round of units and Byun just crumbled because Liberators are garbage vs Hydralisks. Byun was going for a specific timing to make those Liberators worth it, and Serral held him off for long enough that they became flying paper weights.

First game looked like it, his micro just unraveled to the point where he wasn't burrowing mines and move commanding them into serral.

If you watched ByuN v Classic as well earlier today, he was also super sloppy. Wrists // not feeling it today. (0-5 on the day)

Can't imagine RagnaroK wins this ZvZ unless he gets ridiculously lucky. People keep saying he won the BO3 against Dark this tournament but that involved Dark failing a pool-first spine all-in and some other nonsense.

So down to 2 Terran in Ro8, possibly 1 Protoss and 5 Zerg. This might be worst than the last IEM given how Rogue left for the army, Ragnarok just simply fit right into his place.

I know I'm beeing a bit of a ass today, but man looking at that bracket is a bit depressing. Dark's gonna beat Creator, Maru will beat Solar into getting bopped by Serral, Reynor's beating either of the terran, if we're lucky herO will beat Dark before losing to Reynor.

And we'll have a zvz final.

A.fucking.gain.

Honestly byun should have just taken 1-2 months of not playing at all and taking care of his wrist.I believe even in the military he used to play

5 Zergs in the Ro8 would be as bad as the 2019 Global Finals, when Zerg was absolutely busted.
