Dynasty may be worse for Z ( there's an in base gold with an exposed mineral line that Terran can take but Z can't.)

I do wonder if Serral would veto differently against Maru though. If you expect the game to go long the gold becomes less impactful (and once it gets mined out it offers an attack path.) Oliveira on the other hand probably has some filthy marine push taking advantage of the gold.

Anyways having 1-2 maps in the pool that sucks for a race is fine, especially with 9 maps. Do wish vetos were veto veto veto veto in bo5 though

I have to say it's a bit disappointing that there are only 2 matches left already. It's such a better experience to have a full day of Starcraft with the quarters on the finals day. Unexpected as well after Katowice getting it right this year finally I thought that lesson was learned. Maybe there's some reason that it couldn't be helped in which case no hatin' but that doesn't change the sense of anti climax you get (or at least I do) when only having 3 matches.
Having long final days benefits more defensive players and factions,as after 2 series both players might be somewhat tired and shown most of their builds / strategies.
And then final series become "who will make fewer mistakes" compeition instead of "who will make more cool plays or prepare more cool strategies".
I know which one I personally prefer.

It's just one BO5 more for the players. Besides you really only get true preparation when there's a week between matches like in GSL, Which is great to watch, I agree with that.

This might become reminiscent of Kato'24 where Serral also played mainly ling/bane against Clem and reserved his other strategies for the grand final against Maru.
Mutation complete.

LOL Serral was taking widow mines shots left and right but it didn't matter.

When this game was invented, was this how the Zerg economy was designed to work?

Well this game is pretty much over. Pretty funny that both players are probably going to lose on their own map picks.

Nice game from Oliveira but he almost threw the big advantage he’d earned away, I’m not sure he can get away with that again this series

I think the pullback was likely because Oliveira's played Serral enough to know Serral likes to do ling backstabs. Turned out to be the right call probably, since he was able to deflect the runby.

What's totally weird to me is how Serral only lost due to pushing ultra/roach/ravager down a tiny ramp for literally no reason.

Oliveira miracle run 2 incoming?

How many more semis does Dark need to overtake Rain for #10?

I love how Oli is mixing a few Hellbats in with little marine groups

I like how Serral uses Nydus like it's a Brood War nydus.

I feel like Oliveira is doing what Maru does, playing a defensive Terran style.
