I think Dark's chances against Serral shrink as they approach the lategame, but it's ZvZ and if only for his trickery Dark is more than a dangerous opponent in every other phase of the game.
Dark is very capable of playing late game ZvZ though. Way more than his ZvT lategame IMO

But now it would be a final, few times it was "only" semis etc right? iirc

Unless Maru has some grand scheme to lose 20 workers to auto turrets so players use all their raven energy against him and he can win with a push. Thats what he tried to do in game 4 but Byun held it almost perfectly. But yeah, how hard is it to make an effing Viking to shut that shit down along with the Cyclone drop. You don't even need a viking, just watch the minimap shift click workers away and then back, and then push with full energy ravens vs zero but Byun just drop 1 Turret at a time, while doing a runby in the 3rd, and Maru was trying to hit as quickly as he could, so he couldnt just micro the workers in and out constantly. If ByuN can shift click turrets in and out, Maru can shift click workers away and back.
It's not like he was just a bit too slow, he probably lost 50 workers to turrets in that series

Surprised that Serral let equilibrium through, I wonder if he has some nasty anti-gold build pocketed.

They could have met in the final at Katowice 2018, 2020, 2021, 2023, and now 2024
The funniest one was 2020, where Rogue even said he's the warmup to the Maru Serral final, but after Serral lost to Zest in the ro4 he decided to just win it.

Can we restart this game?
Serral should be the robot zerg not dark.

Serral underestimated how hard Dark was coming at him g1. Interesting to see if this continues.

Dark is so good despite being "old", let's go Dark! Two more maps

Dark bringing the heat. Was a well executed early game.

WP Dark there, looks like Serral’s going to have to bring his A game
