This is going to be yet another Serral championship isn't it?

20 THOUSAND resources lost in favor of Maru. If it was closer I wouldn't be saying that, but this is ridiculous.

And Serral was equal the entire game which is also impossible.
No shit he goes down eventually when he has to go in and break 3000 turrets and cloaked ghosts.

I just don't how anyone can find it interesting to watch Maru die for 30+ minutes. The game was never close.

Couldn't Maru have hoped for a draw? I mean... it was unlikely, but it could have ended in Serral not having an opportunity to kill every building, couldn't it?

Agreed. In an actual balanced game, Maru would've won easily. We saw a clear example of a better player losing to a worse player because the tournament organizer making a map to heavily favor the inferior player.

Wow dude. Get a grip.

I thought Maru could play around those BLord because they are slow, he can clean up Serral bottom bases and force him to not moving out and force a draw.

Nah, this map is so Zerg favored that terran is never expected to win. It shouldn't be in the pool.

Combine that with infestors being impossible to see, and Serral getting at least 5 lucky fungals that dodged scans by one pixel

Yeah Maru played better, that was one of the best terran performances probably ever
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Maru got caught with like 10 supposedly "singlehandedly game ending" fungal but was still able to drag it all the way to the end. How does that make him a better player?

I don't think big maps are a problem in themselves but to have it so open without bases that Terran/Protoss can crawl to reasonably is stupid.

He had 11 Broodlords, more mineral income on the way and infinite transfuse energy. He would have had zero issue.

Maru won't have the opportunity to CC first into fast 3rd tho. It'll be harder to split map without an eco lead

According to Liquipedia Terran has a slight advantage against Zerg on this map. How is this "terran is never expected to win"?

I agree the map is stupid as fuck but to say he played better when he got caught by like 10 game ending fungals and didn’t do any damage to Serral the entire game is ludicrous.
Yes he defended like a god and yes he had no chance because of the map but that doesn’t mean he was the better player.
What did Serral do worse?
It appears I have been chosen.

It creates good drama, but it clearly look extremely race biased.
You don't make this kind of map without being aware of what TvZ will look like on it.

The only chance was if Maru sniped all the corruptors and EMPd every infestor. Not gonna happen

Because burrowed infestors fungals = bullshit

So much easier to get them than to catch them and defend against them, the fact that Maru was able to make the game close while playing on this difficult map and against this stupid unit clearly shows he is better, like every single engagement that serral won was because of that, without that it would not even be close

People defend big maps because it's popular to shit on terran but these big open maps are even worse for protoss so it's a very lose-lose scenario to keep having them.
