Only able to listen to the games, what did Serral do differently compared to Dark vs herO? Or was it just a mental/day issue?

Anyways hell of a dark few hours for the Zerg titans. Serral, Reynor and Dark ousted.

Serral doesnt rely on SH, he normally pretty perfect in protecting drone against Oracle as well. So he always has enough unit to defend. Fighting into Serral is a dead sentence unless you trick him.

This, also Serral rushed out vipers in both games against herO and controlled them perfectly.
Mutation complete.

Hero just lost 0-2 vs Serral though. It all depends on the matchup and their form on that day as well.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I'm just talking about the general performance in this tournament, not all time. herO has shown much more solid, consistent play. He only lsot vs Serral but I better not say the reason I think he lost there.

He has been more more consisten than all the other top players, except Maru.

Ah, yes, your usual troll-ish take on 3. Though, Zergs did seem like they bought into everyone's hype and approached things with a general laziness--Dark well below his normal level, Reynor thinking he could style on Time, Serral wish bafflingly bad ZvZ.

For real. The biggest dangers to Maru all got knocked out by someone else. This is the best bracket he has EVER had at an IEM Katowice.

Don't want to curse him since herO is obviously still lurking, but this just might finally be it.

It would be just like Maru to FINALLY win his first Global Championship right after a balance patch that specifically nerfs a core playstyle he was using the year before.

After seeing Ragnarok and TIME knock out Reynor and Serral, I think both of them deserve to be at least favored to win a map.

Maru vs herO should be a good match too. These guys play each other close.

I mean, of course herO will be tough, but I just think Oliveira will give him fits in the Ro4, so much that herO cant hide strat or build in PvT, and Maru will know how to play him if they meet in the Final.

Is there a URL with all player cards data ? Would be fun to correlate them with match outcomes after the tournament.

I disagree. You could say that Serral was the most dominant player this tournament in 2 out of 3 matchups. Of course, the ZvZ almost knocked him out of the groups and ended up getting him killed in the Ro8. But he absolutely dominated Byun, and looked very comfortable vs herO. herO has definitely put up a better performance, but you put him in a Bo7 vs Serral right now and I bet on Serral.

We didn't even really see Reynor's ZvP. He crushed his group and then lost in a close ZvT. I don't think you can say much about his skill level based on that.
