Nah but seriously, ZvZ continues to be his kryptonite and I just can't get a read on what it is about it. It's not like Solar did anything that was stylistically different than what Serral should be practiced against. He just didn't play the early game well in any of these matches. Well, we should kinda see this coming from how Serral struggle a bit in the group stage. I thought it was just PvZ but it trickle down to ZvZ as well. | ||

I think ZvZ is just impossible to dominate, you can lose games so quickly with tiny micro mistakes/misreads, whereas in other matchups Serral can fall behind a bit but win anyways over time with his great mechanics. That's why Serral can go from 3-0ing Reynor to losing 0-3 to Reynor in the course of a few weeks. | ||

It's barely even a real offline event. Legacy isn't on the line here. This is just for the money. I am sure if either Maru or Serral win this, the people would make the case for that discussion, at least I would do it for Maru. Now the spotlight will be on the other players. | ||

Any serious discussion in the future would ignore this event completely. Somehow the WESG finals these two played against each other gets forgotten too and that's a way more legitimate tournament than this is. | ||

I winced when I saw Classic get Cure and Byun get Reynor. Just awful draws for both of them. I'm sure they would have each happily traded opponents. | ||
