A deep run in his tournament would most likely involve facing Reynor or Dark and he ain't beating either playing ZvZ like that. Dark's only ZvZ this tournament has been an 0-2 loss to Ragnarok. Reynor hasn't played any ZvZ. | ||

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. Because he never saw that Ragnarok only had 7 drones mining in the natural. He got tricked. I agree if he has that info he plays the defense differently and can hold. If he pulls drones once all the banelings are gone he can probably hold. But by the time he left his entire defense was already falling apart. How many of those 9 roaches were going to spawn into a surround by the 3rd? | ||

Especially its a freaking GAME 5, you dont gg like that. For sure. We all wish Joona could have played a little longer, given he is the defending world champ. I'm sure he'll remember and analyze this Game 5 for a very long time.. also learned he left ENCE Esports (it disbanded), and is now with Basilisk, which is Beomulf's and RotterdaM's team. Oh wow. Here's to hoping the Ragnarok-Maru series in IEM will be more competitive than their recent GSL finals matchup. Random: But today is also the Super Bowl! Two of my favorite sporting events of the year. | ||

The issue with the roaches is definitely the subpar spawns. However, that's why I mention he has to pull some drones as well. With some drone-pulling he holds it off. After that the game-state should even out somewhat. Because he never saw that Ragnarok only had 7 drones mining in the natural. Unless Ragnarok messed up macro completely, I feel like top zergs should always be loosely aware of what the drone-count is at any given point in time? I think the larger issue here is that Serral himself wasn't aware how many roaches were about to pop out. If he knew he was going to have a total of 14+ roaches < 10 seconds, he doesn't GG there. There are some similarities to Idra gg here. Although both vs MMA and Huk Idra had effectively won both games whereas in this scenario it would be much more even. | ||

Reynor is the last player remaining in the tournament with a chance to tie that record. | ||
