Serral with an Idra Gged. That push was holdable with a few drone pull will still be ahead of Rag. Then again Serral didn’t have full access to information like us viewers

Maru now has an easy path to finals since Rag is quite bad in tvz (worst than solar by a mile)

Ragnarok ZvT are pretty great, he has beaten top Terran before, including Clem, Cure, Bunny, Gumiho, EXCEPT for Maru.

To be true, I didn't think Serral play a good ZvZ as he did last year or years before. You can see in every game today that he always lack one or two drones behind Ragnarok at some points. May be too much thinking to defend or lack of game sense perhaps. And it was too late to realize that you were behind in every aspect.

Agreed it's a way early GG from Serral but hot take doesn't matter too much in the end. A deep run in his tournament would most likely involve facing Reynor or Dark and he ain't beating either playing ZvZ like that.

That was an insane misjudgement from Serral I feel. After the 2nd baneling wave if he moves back to the natural, he has that game won 100%.
I can only imagine he thought that he held and thats why he moved out towards 3rd and everything went to shit then.

He was up 23 drones and in his natural he holds this 100% of the time . Cant explain it otherwise hm


Seems like he was having a really hard time reading ZvZ and playing reactively with a tremendous amount of uncertainty. Which is odd, because the Zerg meta hasn't changed much beyond the new maps.

RagnaroK has top tier ZvT, even better than Solar imo. It’s not gonna be easy for Maru, but he has the mental edge

In this game everybody is misreading everything


Including Serral! Was that an Idra GG? I think that was an Idra GG!

He was on even supply but up 20 workers. He was losing the fight bad.


He really should have won the last fight though. Could simply have retreated to natural, pulled 15 drones etc. Instead, he ended up being trapped by the ling surround, which definitely put him far behind.

However, even then he had 9 roaches just about to spawn. With a worker pull he probably holds on. Definitely felt like Serral misread the state of the game somewhat there. Not aware how far ahead he was in economy.

Well at least now herO won't have to play 3 Zerg in a row to win.

He lost to Clem in this tournament and Cure played him VERY VERY close.

Of the Zergs remaining he's the weakest by far in the match up, and then there's the fact that he's scared of Maru by his own admission in the GSL finals last year.
