Hope it isn't gonna be another roach/ravager all-in to win game 4 Well, he stopped throwing away an infinite amount of banelings. Was too late, but stopping the donation made it closer. | ||

I think as long as Serral can do harass/counters on all sides of the maps, he will win. | ||

I honestly didnt know why Serral didnt try Ultra and hit the Tank-heavy army last game. Gotta mix it up a bit I suppose. Of late Serral does some really brutal timings off the space that Maru gives him, there’s a particularly nasty quick carapace ups and Ultra one that looks particularly fiendish but I guess if he keeps rotating some of his anti-Maru builds he might get too accustomed | ||

You can close you eye, make prediction and be exact about what Maru done in the first 8 minutes of the game. | ||

Lets see if this voodoo is broken or we should crown Serral definitive GOAT, because it cannot be that the GOAT has a player he just can't beat to save his life. To be fair, I think one can still be the GOAT even if one other guy has your number in a game where there’s such a divergence in styles and strengths. Although my personal vote is still Serral! For other LRers, will this tournament even move the needle much? For me a Serral or a Maru win sorta further gaps everyone else with them as 1/2. Perhaps Dark especially with his recent GSL win and our first dad champion can move a bit, or Reynor with another big crown | ||

If I was to guess, Serral given he’s trading relatively equivalently and has that giant eco too. Think it’s what really sets him apart even from A-game Reynor and why even Reynor has a far harder time versus Maru’s style. He just does a ton of little things slightly more efficiently, but it really adds up in a slugfest of this kind. From just generally choosing engagements well, taking them well, finding ways to counter in addition to runbys etc. Be it nydus play or dropperlords. As I was typing this we just saw an example of this I really like that he does frequently, which is having those nyduses specifically for evacuating workers on the outlying bases. You can hold the whole map, the Mary’s of the world will find gaps, and if they do it can be the difference between losing an entire base full of workers or almost none at all. That said, I’m not counting Maru out either. Give herO or Parting a bunch of blink stalkers and a prayer and they can pull off miracles, so too Maru and Ghosts | ||
