Jup, Zerg really weak rn in lategame in both matchups

Serral still makes me think that ZvP lategame is doable but ZvT looks a lil rough.

Zvt late game is as unplayable as it gets once mass libs / ghost hits the field. Similar as tvp. This is the new brood lord/infestor

Also viper not being able to abduct siege tanks makes it harder for Zergs to break Terran as well

So far i have only really seen maru pull it off like this (Clem beats Serral differently), BL Infestor gave noname zergs ways to do things they wpuld have never beeen able to otherwsie that promptly disappeared after it so i wouldnt be doing this comparison

It's a very interesting final 4. Let's see how Serral does against a Terran that isn't Maru in Clem and how Maru does against Showtime, who has been in fine form lately. Personally, I would not be at all surprised to see a Serral vs Showtime final. I don't know how likely it would be, but it seems like both of the final four match ups are fairly even at this moment.

Would say both semis have a clear favorite.

Maru is obviously the one against showtime and clem should have atleast a 60/40 if not more on his side judging on the last few months

Imo ZvT is more doable than ZvP as you can just keep swarming in ZvT and starve the terran out, while in ZvP you're kinda forced to transition to Broodlord Corruptor Lurker Viper comp if you don't kill them early
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

I feel like i've seen good ZvP lategames with ultras etc from payers like rogue too if they dont just get rekt in the midgame and ZvT looks doable in the lategame if its not maru (for the top dogs), not quite sure about clem but i think clem isnt the guy to play these kinda lategames like maru does.

Once Clem gets set up on 5 bases he is almost as good as Maru in lategame imo.

No suprise that Maru swept showtime. Hope clem/serral will be more competitive

Serral either in better Form today or found Something to tackle the issues He Had, unsure. Feels Like He is Just getting more Eco damage + better fungals in this series.

A lot of their previous games were extremely close too, it's just small details that decide those games

Yeah Maru just lost those games that felt like the old Maru way, he wasnt massing Bio - Tanks early and just die to a strong timing. PiG pointed out multiple times that Maru leave his production open to wait for better unit and didnt have enough to defend, classic way of die to Serral push.

feels like bo9 is too much for Maru, looked a lot less sharp towards the end of the series. Similar to their previous series where he relied on 2 rax to finish the series

Wow. Better to never doubt Serral. 4-1 vs. Clem and 5-1 vs. Maru in turn. Sick. ggs.

Thanks to Pig for putting together a lovely tournament as always.

I dont think he did a single Mech build this game, nor went with any sharp timing push, and his defensive setup was lacking. Very generic build and was very greedy. Basically this was the Maru that lost to Serral 10 out of 11 matches in the past 3 years.
