Have to see the replay to see how Serral lost those 2 games Serral didn't scout Cure's 3rax in time. Didn't watch the Trigger games, but I think the casters said Serral messed up his early harass defense badly.
The map loss against trigger was because Serral missed that trigger took the less common third, prepared for a push that never happened, and got stuck on 60ish vs. 80ish workers in the midgame.

Pig is awesome for putting this together!
In the little comments on the photos, everyone gets a compliment except Solar, who gets "nuke magnet" LOL
Has Solar eaten any large nukes besides the famous one vs Maru?
Classic lost a game to Maru just this year by letting his entire army get nuked. Admittedly it wasn't as bad as losing a won game like solar did, but he still let a maxed protoss army get demolished by a nuke...
I remember at least one other time he got his entire army nuked vs ByuN, but it was in some online cup, won't find the vod for it

Funny that clem won the pvts but lost the tvp

Maru going 0-4 and out is certainly... interesting. Nice to see Protoss doing well...

last place group stage finishes at both Master's Coliseum and PiGSty... Maru seems pretty checked out?

Honestly outside of some exceptions many koreans feel pretty checked Out.

He does look like some guy who just pick a random old build and go with it, ignoring all the scouting/adjustment/attention to detail. Against Dark he build 20 Ghosts like he didnt know they are now 3 supplies each, and against Classic he did the same 2 base heavy pressure build that got completely countered. It was just hard to watch tbh.

Maru and Dark, the titans.. down to the ground after meeting the protoss race.. It's crazy, it would never happen before. It shows you the state of the game.

I think there being so much uncertainty with big tournies absent, no GSL etc has as much, indeed probably much more to do with it.
After all they’ve accomplished, I can’t blame a Maru or a Dark for not being in their best shape.
Hell Reynor declined an invite for this tourney.
Not being critical of this and other events people have organised to keep us with some competitive action, I think it’s great and heartening to see, but I don’t think it’s going to motivate some players who may already be very disheartened with the state of the scene at the moment.

It shows you the state of these two players. Nothing else.
Game / Balance is fine

I don’t know if we’ve cracked it and the game is as balanced or fun as it can be.
Equally it’s also really hard to tell as only a handful of players are really bringing their A game and grinding a lot at the minute, seemingly.

Either Maxpax won with a blink timing, Serral held the blink timing and won with the counterattack, or Serral won with a timing attack of his own.

So nobody is mentioning how Terran has been eliminated early in the recent tournaments outside of Clem? I understand that Maru is not practicing/playing hard but the rest of the Terran seems to be putting up the effort but they just didnt have the tool to fight anymore? Ghost and Mines got nerfed to oblivion without any compensation on other units. Then mutiple minor nerf on Libs, Sensor Tower, Hellbat, buff reverted on Cyclone make Mech trash again. It felt like Terran need to get a REALLY good fight in the early game in order to win, a close fight just aint enough to keep up with the other 2 race in the current meta base on what I have seen so far.

Didnt Cure recently win the map Contest Tournament? Also some online Cups iirc.

TLMC always have outlier results because of new maps and lack of practice, so I wouldnt count on that. And including the weekly, other Terrans arent doing very well unless bracket luck push all the Terran in one side. The funny thing is Clem himself helping to eliminate other Terrans with Protoss. Then again, this could just be due to lack of participation/practice. HM and Spirit not playing, neither is Gumiho for most weekly, Oliveira retire, so Terran is left with just Cure/Byun/Bunny outside of Clem.

false concerns about Serral's ZvP into another convincing win
