Maybe Maru feels confident against Serral? After all, he might be an idiot.
But, I guess he just isn't a fan of Crimson Court.

He’s gotta break the streak sometime I suppose!

I suppose unlike other teams running the gauntlet they’ve got a little extra time to strategise a fiendish plan or two, interested to see how it goes

Maru keep playing the same old shit of macro up to 4-5 bases and large worker count is getting boring.

Fun prediction: TL vs. BASILISK was an exciting and hard-fought clan war, and now Serral just rolls through in the grand final.

Does anyone have a theory why I’ve seen more Mutas in high level TvZ in the last couple of days versus the last 6 months?

Genuinely curious!

Why did Ryung look better against Serral than Maru?
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Game 2 was brutal even by the standards of Serral vs. Maru.

Eh, I think that's sort of an illusion. Serral felt no sense of urgency to kill Ryung so it was a long game that looked deceptively close at times. Against Maru Serral does have urgency (he can still lose the super late game), so he piles on the pressure.

The saddest Thing is that Maru never seems to have prepared anything for serral at all at any of the Times they Played. Just Always the Same stuff into dying.

As per my muta question, I wonder if Reynor and Serral have been workshopping in prep for this, in a way they obviously couldn’t being direct competitors for EWC?

It really is a bit concerning that there was zero fightback from Maru. He basically surrendered in the loading screen, from there it was just two ten+ minutes death animations

This has been Maru of the past few years. So much is made of match preparation but he clearly doesn't do his homework the way that other top players do.

It’s really odd. Despite Clem’s recent god mode I still think over a pretty long span Maru’s been the clear #2 player

Serral can struggle the odd time against players clearly worse than Maru in the matchup, Maru usually beats other Zergs, Clem isn’t a lock against worse Zergs

But Maru seemingly can’t lay a glove on Serral, who very recently can’t lay a glove on Clem

I don't think it's that odd. Serral has the best decision making/reactions in the business, but isn't the absolute fastest player in the world. So Clem can outplay Serral in a way that Clem can't outplay Reynor, while Reynor's somewhat worse decision making has him headbutt into Maru while Serral picks his fights well and wins.

Maru plays a style that Serral is more than comfortable to destroy every time. Clem is the opposite of Maru. Not sure if Maru has any believe in himself against Serral at this point.

Well this is boring. On the bright side the koreans can go to sleep since it's already 3am there
