10/10 playoff predictions so far.
One last time. Serral 4-2 Maru.
If peak Maru shows up, he can win that one though. It would make for an incredible story.. throwing the easiest IEM Katowice road of all time (for him) in 2023 into having an incredibly hard run in 2024.
Katowice would crown maru's career IMO.
Hoping we get 7 maps so we all win. Would love to but I think Maru's peak is behind whereas Serral seems stronger than ever. Like Maru is definitely lest crisp on small things, a bit slower overall. He makes up for it with decision making, experience, and late game control still. But feel like his micro and multitask used to be a bit better
Agreed.
I think in order to win the whole thing, Maru needs one or two poisonous builds that Serral has not met before. People were saying Maru was hiding builds when he lost to Serral in Master's Coliseum. Let's see what he has prepared.
I expect a close series all the same.

Maru looked great in tvz against reynor and dark, 2-0ed both i think he has a shot of winning this !

Aligulac says 81% Serral
Yeah stats def not in his favour, Serral only lost 3 bo5+ ZvT out of 24 this year and all his loss were vs Clem that he just destroyed today.
Maru TvZ wasn't really great this year too, 7-6 in TvZ and I just saw that he lost 3 - 0 to DRG in november wtf?

cant ignore that Maru did win macro games in masters colliseum too though, even though it was bo3 swiss so not playoffs.
I'm team good games in the end. 7 banger maps and we all win

I dont think he was hiding build, he just tried stupid ones like Widow Mines drop opening into Queen. If I were Maru, I wouldnt mind doing Mech build, but skip the Banshee and go hard to Cyclone Tanks like he did against Reynor.

I'm definitely rooting hard for Maru here. But yea, this doesn't feel like particularly fair situation. At least give the 2nd finalist an hour to process things.
Although I'm aware last year Maru got to the finals first and still lost, but eh.

My take is, whoever wins this final should be crowned as the GOAT.

This is some real copium haha - there's no way they're going to do an hour break and lose half the viewers.
I agree obviously worse for Maru though.

This is my take as well. It's just too perfect in a narrative sense.

The stars finally align for a Serral vs Maru Bo7 grand final, 6 years in the making since the rise of both Serral and Maru in 2018.
Edit: no TSL9 doesn't count because of 1 map advantage for Serral :p

Failing a proper overnight, or a properly chunky gap do you wanna sit worrying about Serral for around an hour, or get into it quickly while you’re still pumped from that 3-0?
I think this is something no matter what you do trying to cram it in to today will leave you disadvantaging people of different makeups.

I think the gap definitely favors the player who's more preperation focused.
In theory zerg would benefit the most from their opponent not getting a break, and protoss would suffer the most not getting one
