Clem really still has Serral's number. At least more so than any other player. 3-0'ing a guy who's on a 26 match win streak is crazy

Just saying, but there is a larger chance of Serral getting dropped into the Knockout bracket considering it could be either Solar or Reynor against him. I doubt Solar gets trough Reynor and Cure/herO. I bet Cure plays like a god and then gets bobbed by Serral.
herO didnt look great to me, so Cure might just beat him straight up. And Solar/Reynor is a tossed up, but either of them would be heavy favorite against Cure. So my belief is a ZvZ in the 2nd place of group B.

Right so if Maru/Oliveira win 2nd vs 2nd they play Clem, and if Serral/Reynor win they play Dark?
Hopefully we get a non mirror final out of it at least

Maru has not tried in an international tournament for decades. Can’t we have the army? Seriously going to the army will hinder you, but hard to say how much.

Clem vs Dark finals would be sick.
Alternatively, Oliveira dropping to the knockout bracket, and then making a miracle run through it and making it to the final.

Fortunately they can likely settle it in the 2nd vs 2nd match.
Out of shape Serral who can't practice due to military otherwise he would've won vs injured Maru who can't practice due to his wrists otherwise he would've won

Then you better hope Maru got eliminated in the knockout bracket, because as frustrated I got with Maru playing TvZ, his TvT is still on another level.

This will only settle whether military is a better excuse than injury and not caring about international tournaments!
More seriously I don't think there's much to read into Serral losing 0-3 to Clem. Clem's a killer and if Serral is even at 95% Clem can tear him apart. When Serral is bullet proof (like in Katowice) Serral can 3-0 Clem too. Only time will tell if it's because Serral's form is poor or if something just happened to be off today.

I have actually done my military service in Finland, but not in the sport-unit. Maybe we can see the military man versus the broken man in this tournament 😎

After an epic full Bo5 between Reynor and Clem, I was excited to see how Clem would stand up again Serral. I didn't care about who wins or loses, I just wanted to see more epic games, but that was just upsetting to watch. Serral didn't even look like Serral, and the fact that no caster mentioned the vast amount of uncharacteristic mistakes he was making also felt very ignorant. I'd be glad to see people rise above Serral, but I don't wanna see him lose like THIS. I know Clem's good, but this series felt so unmotivated... I hope to see Serral show better games moving on from here :prayge:

Not as often as people making all the excuses for Maru when he lost outside of Korea. Jet lag / saving builds/ didn’t take seriously/ not in form/ not caring / Zerg Imba, etc
At least Serral army thing is actually a REAL thing. Unlike all the phantom excuses people give to Maru when he gets stomped

Jet lag is definitely a thing. Zerg was also obviously favored at certain times many of which coincide with a Maru loss at an international.
Serral is in military but we have no idea how much he is actually stopped from playing/practicing by military service. He's made it sound like it's not that big of a deal and has looked the same as always if not even more dominant than normal in all of his post military series until this one. For all we know he's been able to do the same amount of practice hours as he would have done if he wasn't in military. We know him and Oliveira have played 100+ customs post military starting. We also know he's played at least 150 ladder games in the last couple months. That's already a lot of games and doesn't include ladder on other accounts or other customs.

And where did I mention or discredit injury was an invalid excuse?
The excuses I listed were all the common excuses we hear each and every time Maru loses outside of Korea.
How many times have we all witness his fanboys claim
When he wins, maru is godlike or best in the world
But when he loses, the salty tears and excuses comes out in full force
You can’t have it both ways.
