Maru threw away too many resources on tanks, they are weak against ling bane without Bio support and Alcyone is a huge map to cover. Its better off to just make PF to defend the important point, or combine them with less tank used.

These big maps aren't good for Terran in general. For Maru to hold on for as long as he did is simply next level.

He had a bit too much hellbats imo and why pushing so much in the creep as soon as he secured another base

He was still in a winning position imo before he threw his army away on creep

How the fuck does Serral trade vaguely evenly with Maru, in the 80/90 ballpark at times when seemingly everyone else is lucky to get 60/70 once he’s set up?

I think it's time for the balance council to revisit zerg. Infestor Broodlord is just as disgusting as it was in 2012, and has never been fun to play. Queens being a swiss-army knife doesn't help either, as zerg can ULTRA greed behind them.

I am not saying he did a terrible job, but he could have done better imo. I remember Clem beating Serral on this map in DH Atlanta and what he did was just PF Tank Ghost and Mines turtling which worked.

those final 2 or 3 big fights were absolutely a train wreck for Maru for someone that usually scans for days to make sure hes not out of position.
You're getting cynical and that won't do I'd throw the rose tint back on the exploded view

My feeling after these days. As long as Clem isn't facing a terran, he very well might be favored to win any series. And it's probably only against Maru where he is a clear dog. Serral appears much more human-like and looks like he has less confidence in anything but his very late game army unit control.

Serral simply outmaneuver Maru, forcing his army moving around while leaving behind these expensive tanks that are complete defenseless without support.

ggs by Serral, Maru, and herO.

It really seemed as if Serral was testing whether he can brute force a win against Maru in g3 and when he could not he proceeded to show how careful play is done in g4.
Mutation complete.

Most Zerg will trade at least 50% worse than Maru when they go to late game. You'd see unit lose difference to be something like 35k vs 53k. Serral is the only one that's capable of trading evenly with Maru in late game, and this is probably the best one he did. The difference was within 10% in the end.

Was game 1 on Crimson Court the "unbeatable" ZvT build that Serral was hyped about?

I felt like he was sending a message in G3. Like "I know I lost this game already, but you will not get it easily. Come and earn the victory if you want it"

Then he followed up with an absolutely clinical ZvT late game in G4 to show everyone how it's done.

I don't think I've ever seen more masterful Infestor play than what Serral showcased today.

GOAT.
