At least this one would be quick, save us all the time, although the pain is worse.

alright time for the reverse sweep, pretty sure we've never seen a reverse sweep in a bo9 before lol

Sjow reverse swept Socke in a bo9 in IPL Fight Club, though of course that is pretty low-profile.

Well, thats how they are, Serral/Maru won its GOAT, when they lose its excuses, and I am guilty of that as well. Anyway, looking great for Serral into IEM, but I am more excited for that group D now, all 4 guys looking busted AF, although Dark has trouble winning macro game.

After the legendary G7 against Reynor yesterday I expected herO to put up a bit of a better fight against Serral than what it was today ... but sadly it was very one sided.

I guess Serral is just that much better than every other Zerg out there in ZvP. He doesn't make mistakes. If you don't play 100% perfect as well you have no chance to win.

If He didnt do mistakes herO would have been never able to throw g3 as hard as He did, serral Just knows what He Has to do to win and Well in Games Like that herO let him.

usually comebacks are a mixbag of mistakes done by the player in the winning position and amazing/clever plays done by the player in the losing position. That game 3 however was none of it. Serral didnt do anything at all. herO was just so passive he let serral fully recover . Which why that was a throw and not a comeback

How many world title has he won in those 6 years? Counting Blizzcon/IEM/WESG/Gamers. This is not Tiger Woods mopping the field, or Federer beating everyone outside of Nadal in French Open. Hes the most consistent players, but he has had moment of slip up and "choke" as well. People giving Maru a harsh time, deservingly so, for blowing the Final against Oliveira, but nobody bringing up how Serral lost to Ragnarok after IEM, like thats just a bad nightmare and never happened before.
Winning MC is great, but thats not making his GOAT case that more impressive, cause he has won so many of it already. Maru won 7 GSL and at this point another 1-2 GSL won doesnt matter to most us. We all want to see them winning the next IEM-type tournament and will give them a flower when that happen.

Read my response above, I would never call Maru GOAT even if he win 2-3 more GSL/ESL, he need to win IEM/Gamers8 to make his case in view. But thats just me.

Reynor, Maru, and Clem have chances against Serral but that's about it.

I don't see protoss being able to without lucky builds and doing that in a bo9 isn't happening.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Feels a Bit Like 2018 pvz again, toss is in a competitive Spot zerg is somewhat Stronger in the late lategames and serral is very good at those and very good at getting there.

I don't think that's a fair assessment either. I mean, yes, herO could've attacked at any point before Serral had a bunch of infestors and even ultras out and just crushed. But Serral's fight with infestors and hydras and 2 ultras was extremely good, and he had to put himself in that position. Then the whole go full BL + infestors should NEVER have worked, but for some reason *that* was when herO went full tunnel vision on attacking instead of just pulling back and eating the whole map. It's fair that herO clutched defeat out of the jaws of victory there, but it's not like Serral just sat back and let it happen. After his failed all-in he took every opportunity he was given to claw his way back into the game.
