Maru is taking herO more seriously than NightMare so far, and it is paying off!
Two more Maru, gogo. I wonder if he can beat MaxPax though, he always loses vs him

Maru weakness has been committing 2-base into Protoss defensive build, or doing a blind Medivac Widow Mine drop that fails. The games hes playing more macro-orientated he has been winning.

Edit: And guess what, hes done another 2 base all-in on the biggest map to lose AGAIN. Dude probably has a horrible win rate when he does 2-base push.

Sad loss for Maru, tough match-up and strong opponent, nice try though
I doubt Bunny is gonna beat Serral so ByuN is probably the last terran hope, but beating MaxPax will be difficult

I feel like every terran matchup is a tough matchup when he loses for you :D (or do you mean vs herO specifically)

Great Series, I think Maru aggressive stance does not pay off vs herO at all.

He was up 3-1 playing a very solid series, and then lost 3 games in a row by doing a greedy 3CC, blind widow mine drop into Phoenix and a 2-base push. He just doesnt like playing to win, or his early planning just sucks.

TvZ is very difficult as well as TvP right now, especially vs the strong players

Amazing set of series again today. PigFest is delivering again so far. Also super impressed with Nightmare, Maru's TvP is not at its strongest but still, pushing him to game 5 is really impressive.

Just one foreigner left but I don’t see anyone that could beat Serral, maybe Dark has the best chance to make it somewhat competitive though?
Go ByuN still

Doesnt look like Byun wrist is getting better, if not even worse, now I wonder how many times it has acted up for all the tournament he has played.

Serral is unholy. Dominant series against Bunny.

Bunny played really well, though. But it seems his strength drops off a fair bit in the lategame. His midgame pushes are terrifying.
Mutation complete.

IDK what Bunny is doing in that G4. Serral has like 3 expansions out there happily mining with no protection at all, and Bunny was doing nothing about it, just hopelessly trying to push front while getting back stabbed nonstop.

The only Terran that has a chance of beating Serral is Clem.

I feel like the moment top Zerg like Serral got used to the big map pool, they just steamroll all the Terran in macro game. People keep saying the big map is good for Terran, but thats ONLY if you can split it up and mine out the whole map. But Zerg will just keep hitting left and right with Nydus/drop to force the Terran from making a mistake and jump on it. I would like to see how things are with the coming smaller map pool

Thats Just a General Thing imo, the longer a meta/mappool stays around the better zergs (esp the top lvl ones) become as they can just optimize their Playstyle perfectly to the Maps and/or Meta.
