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

edit: should've been response to darklycid
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

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.
Mutation complete.

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.

Thanks for another amazing tournament Pig

Serral back to stomping Clem and Maru.

Interesting there was no mech games as we saw Serral has struggled against it recently

Thanks for the tourney, Pig! Saving Starcraft once more in 2026.

Congrats to Serral--carrying the torch for us mere mortals once again. Absolutely loathe laddering as Z these days, but at least there's still some fleeting enjoyment in sc2 for me, lol.

Man, Serral just hates good storytelling. This could have been an amazingly close comeback story of a "fallen champion", fighting back for the glory against his biggest rivals - instead he just slaps them off the server...

Maru already got his lick back against Serral in LiuLi Cup tho. The narrative is more that we're still in a very high parity era where lots of players can win (I actually feel like it's been this way for 1 year+ now, with Serral winning EWC so convincingly being a bit of an outlier).

Showtime played amazingly good and overall the players gave us a great show.
