There wasn't any Gumiho to protect Serral from the wrath of Solar this time.

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.

Anyone winning now will get a massive boost in earnings, especially Cure or Clem. It's great that the chances to make big money in the scene won't go to the top 2

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.

Serral saw Maru choked against Clem, thought to himself, I can do one better. All joking aside, this is a GREAT thing for the tournament, now anybody win this wont change the GOAT debate, and we should all be happy to who ever lift the trophy. Clem deserve his 1st international success, Reynor need to remind people thats hes still a world champ, Solar has a great road because now Maru is no longer on his way, Classic is a Protoss and Cure is a the hard-working Terran. ANY of them winning this tournament is totally great for the scene.


This tournament was never going to influence the GOAT debate anyway. It's a show match tournament being played with ping. 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.

Well if Serral had won that definitely would have been the case. His fans want to include things like his Homestory Cups after all lol.

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.

Funny to hear herO saying the strength of Protoss is the combined synergy of different units, while all he did was building goddamn Stalker and Immortal against lingbane

Classic drawing Cure was the biggest tragedy of this tournament, I hope Classic has something truly special ready or else this will be a stomp.

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.

I think Classic has a good shot if he can get good control of the map vision, dont allow Cure to drop into the main and taking down his production. Cure the master of splitting his Bio-Mines army and keep trading on both sides at the same time until Protoss go down, if Classic can get to 4-5 Robo and fight Cure, he will have a great shot.

Cure drawing was more relatable, but Creator was drawing for Protoss.

with the Pictionary contest we just witnessed I thought they did a round of that where Classic had to draw Cure - and was going to eagerly look for it - before realizing you meant draw like in a tourney hahaha

That was an anticlimactic showing between Serral and Solar. A strong Zerg being the kryptonite to Joona Sotala once again.

Up next: Classic and Cure for last matchup of the day.
