State shouldn't worship Serral so much that discrediting the fact how Maru has struggled against Rogue in the final of Code S before. "I didn't see any zerg has beaten Maru before except Serral." That was hilarious statement coming from the supposed GSL caster.
That's why the bias comes because you just want to hype the tournament so much that you unconsciously discredit the performances of the great players in GSL history.
It’s a throwaway line I wouldn’t read that much into it.
Maru’s been largely dunking on Zergs for a couple of years now as long as they’re not Serral, obviously not for the entirety of his career.
Hell he’s dismantled Dark frequently in recent years, I’m glad to be proven wrong but I really didn’t think even Dark had it in him to take out Maru anymore

Although having gone back and checked Maru’s dunked less on Dark in recent times than my memory had him doing

Dark actually played Maru pretty well in Bo7, its Bo3 and Bo5 where Dark got dunked on pretty hard.

I think Dark has beaten Maru two or three times only in final of any premier tournament (Super Tournament or ESL Pro Tour?) prior to winning his third Code S title today. As far as I remembered, never in the final of Code S or World Championship/WESG tournaments.

He is saying that Scarlett and Lambo edited the game to favor Zerg. I don’t think Zerg is particularly OP intrinsically nowadays, but they are not weak, and depending on maps they can be strong.

Kinda funny that in the period of zergs telling us they are so so weak dark wins a gsl again.
that makes Dark's performance even more amazing.
GG Dark, shines when others struggled.

Not quite July on the calendar, but Dark channeling his inner JulyZerg to impress today. 
Creator taking out herO and then flopping is about the most Protoss thing ever. Heh.

He lost to Maru and played pretty darn well for the most part, so its not that big of shame. Yeah it would be exciting to see Creator making another GSL Final and finally win it, but its just not his day.

It's a bit sad if you think of it this way:
Creator got 1st in his Ro8 group, but instead of being rewarded by playing someone like Cure first (who should have gotten out 2nd in his Group if Maru got out 1st as expected), he had to end up fighting Maru Ro4.
And for Cure, for getting out 1st in his Ro8 group, instead of being rewarded by playing someone like Creator (if Creator got out 2nd), he ended up having to face Dark in the Ro4.
Creator and Cure both got the short end of the stick because they both pulled off upsets

Meh. If you want to win, then win. Having an easier semis to get bopped in the finals isn't exciting, especially in this dual Semis+Finals format. Just win. And that's exactly what Dark did today. A surgical clinic!

Glad to see someone other than Maru could take the trophy this time. And glad for Dark -- the tears were real.
|
just wanted to hop in here to say how incredible the visuals and production is for the GSL. i actually stayed and watched all the intros despite it being on YT (i usually skip to the games right away if its a tourney i dont watch live)
|
Dark winning the low stakes finals against Maru as usual
|
If this is the end, it’s been a pleasure all.

I love how people act like Maru is doing poorly.
He has made the finals of like every major tournament and just won his 8th GSL the one prior to this. That’s consistency any player other than Serral would kill for.

It’s expected for Serral and Maru who are so dominant over their peers, to simply win everything, and anything else is a disappointment
I didn’t get to see every game in the finals due to connection issues, but I watched most of Maru’s series this GSL including the semi vs Creator, and he seemed pretty on point
Dark isn’t a random Zerg, he has consistently been in the top 3-4 (or better) Zerg in the entirety of LotV

This 1000%, been many a good time getting the GSL on, the popcorn out and loading up those LR threads over the years!
