I think the amusing second layer to the joke is that none of us can name which country it was off the top of our heads, just that it was "Africa"

really some of the most exciting finals matchups we could have gotten. on one side the ultimate stone-cold killer who's looked solid all tournament in Maru, playing in the matchup he's been most dominant in. On the other the most insane cinderella-story run in IEM history, also playing what seems to be one of his top matchups.

there were more "dream battles" that could have happened (Maru vs Hero, Maru vs Reynor), but those seem to disappoint as often as not. we'll see how this one goes I guess.

that aligulac prediction can't be right, but I guess maybe it's thrown off by TIME not having played a lot of Bo7s?

Considering the overall quality of TvT's we had throughout this tournament I really have very high hopes for the finals.

I'm not excited for a mirror finals but I couldn't be happier for TIME, really amazing for him, would love to see him upset Maru and win it all.

I think the viewership numbers are decent, probably like 38K + with YT but they would definitely be higher if it was Hero and Maru.

He is 2-11 in series against Maru and his last series win against Maru was 2.5 years ago.

In a GSL style group 3-2. Maru then came right back and beat him 3-0 to knock him out and advance out of the group.

Here's their entire head to head history if anyone wants to see it: Maru vs Oliveira

Do we need to talk about the Terran cabal right now?

TvP on this patch is terran favored, I've been saying this since it was released

Which change has had any influence in this semifinal?

Oliveira just crushed through battery overcharge. It was very clear in game 1. In game 4 the battery overcharge did keep the disruptor alive. But especially the game 1 move I don't think would have worked if overcharge hadn't been nerfed. Not that I think the old overcharge made the game interesting or fun.

I think herO would have lost anyway. The zealot warp-in on the other side of the map was a bad move, and Oliveira capitalized on that.


It's extremely unlikely. You can tell from how herO played there that he was fully expecting to hold this position, it's not like he was caught offguard by the attack. He was caught offguard by the attack being successful. If this attack isn't successful, the colossus is out for the next one, and Time lost 16 workers or something.

Aw, too bad. Do you know what's the biggest Stream for this, If there is one?
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

The longer the series the more skewed it gets for the favorite

it's a much more reasonable 85% if it's a BO3

Solar, Ragna and Time are something like 2-100 in series against Maru?😛 TIME has momentum, so he has a shot.
