They didn't do anything in the TvZ matchup. If anything, they made Zerg a bit too weak with the Baneling nerf.

This garbage take needs to die. Clearly banes are still built in every matchup, the baneling and zerg as a whole still perform just as well as before. This change didn't have anywhere near the yuuuge implications that everyone thought it might have. Shame an anyone who still pretends otherwise.

Man, this tournament keeps delivering. Starcraft has never been better to watch. Some times it's a shame viewership is so low, so many people don't know what they are missing out on.

So we can remove "Combat Shield" from the game or give +5Hp instead of +10?

Damn great series
I wanted Serral to win, but didn't really wanna see a ZvZ finals haha

I'm curious to see how Dark will compare to Serral, if they are near the same tier or if Clem will just roll him...

If Zerg keep playing the same Ultra-Corruptor against turtling Terran, then Terran will win championship this year.

To be fair, Clem played out of his mind. Even by top-tier standards this was the absolute highest level of play.

Well deserved Clem, now please win this tournament!

what else should zerg do? without range or efficiency
what is the win condition for zerg? besides "more bases", but without def advantage?

Clem changed his style. He's always the crazy multitask aggressive player, but he played really defensive in the last two games. Planetary and turrets everywhere, cover the ID I'd think that's 2021 Maru playing. He deserves the win - this is the most perfect TvZ I've seen.

So what Arc are we getting?

Breakout performance leading to a first victory.

Or anticlimax Korean Zerg bashing foreign hope in the final?
