Hes trying to get more workers, extra CC and additional upgrade at the same time bit him in the ass too many times and he still hasnt learned. Onsyde need to address it, stop wiping it away like Maru would figure it out eventually, because he hasnt. I agree. | ||

On the other hand I do think that Maru is probably unable to practice with Zergs of Serral's caliber. Dark, Solar, Ragnarok are obviously not on Serral's level. I think back in 2021 or earlier, playing all those games vs Rogue and Dark (who was better back then imo) was good practice for playing against Serral. And if that is part of the problem, I don't really see a way to solve it. He's on a team with Solar, and pretty sure Reynor would be happy to spar with him as long as he's in Korea. If that isn't enough practice, I guess just pay Solar and Dark to archon mode against him  I mean... Oliveira doesn't have any Zerg worth playing against at all in China, and was far far sharper. Serral looked extremely vulnerable to the 8-rax. Maru took 1 attempt at an 8-rax and it was his halfhearted backup plan and looked absolutely awful. You aren't going to tell me that Maru cannot 8-rax. It's just Serral living in Maru's head at this point. | ||

The entirety of Korean Starcraft needs to prove themselves worthy of Serral's attention right now. Oliveira was by far his biggest challenge this tournament, while Shin/herO/Maru was just cakewalks. | ||

That's why he looked so sharp this tournament, he's been sparring with the best. | ||

Obv there's some subjective lines you have to draw when you're handing out trophies like this (I think it's ridiculous that GomTV included their "world championship" as part of MVP's G5L), but it feels icky and bad optics to say only the EU regional "counts." Ofc they can just solve this by awarding Oliveira his own E10L trophy at the EWC  | ||

Oliveira apparently needs to practice against Serral with some kind of ridiculous ping for both of them to get decent practice against hte other race. Bit weird for Serral (but maybe none of the Euro terrans want to play custom games, or it's his version of community service), but Oliveira has Dark on his team, but there's not really anybody else. Rex is probably the best zerg near China, and that is... not great | ||
