Gotta say Maru looked a lot more vulnerable than Serral did.

I guess we wait for BlizzCon for a final answer but as it stands, Serral has the H2H advantage I guess.

Funny you say that considering serral was one map away from losing every single playoff match in ro8 onwards
Both players won their respective tournament though and that's what matters in the end.



TY gave Maru a good run for his money and on another day he might have won, maru just a little bit better when it matters.
Three code s titles in a row is insane no matter how you wanna look at it tbh, history was made, you cannot reallistically get more dominant than that. Blizzcon next to persuade the last doubters of the new goat! (also funny how gsl/afreeca used the b word in the video content).

why so hyped? ofc serral will win blizzcon sooner or later, korean quality of play is nowhere near to what it was before the fall of their scene, gsl final was a sloppy mess.

Maru overcome his nemesis, TY and his most likely shaky matchup, TvT
Serral did the same and overcome his ZvZ weakness

both are monsters...
greatest miracle in esport is if both of them could meet in blizzcon final..
what might happened is.. one of them jet lagged and lost somehow...

When GSL introduces Maru with the graphics and announcer, they should just do it at his proxy barrack.
very illegal and very uncool

I WATCHED IT THIS MORNING WITHOUT LOOKING AT SPOILERS AND THIS WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST GSL FINALS, BETTER THAN LEENOCK VS JJAKJI AND MVP VS SQUIRTLE WOW HOLY SHIT

WENT TO 7 GAMES WITH MARU PROXYING ALMOST EVERY GAME AND THEN IN FINAL GAME PULLING SCVS AND GOING BALLS TO THE WALL FOR A KNOCKOUT BLOW

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

Ok but can we talk about how nobody interviewed Rogue to ask him whether he was cheering for Maru or for TY? Such things are important too!

"Bias" towards the tournament that actually matters. How shocking!

Do you also accuse your paper news of bias when they report on Chamipons League results and not the backyard friendly game in your local retirement home?

As usual, some people have to come in and mention Serral in every thread about Maru... so annoying. Some quick facts for the rest of this thread (no one shall ever need to state them again in this thread, but I think someone has to in each thread the trolls appear):

1) Serral is 0-3 vs Maru in official matches. They played at WESG semi-finals and Maru won without any game being even slightly close.

2) Serral barely won WCS Montreal against players that couldn't even qualify for GSL, or in Reynor's case, did not perform very well.

3) Maru has won 3 GSL in a row against the best competition in the world... the only possible top 20 player that doesnt play in GSL is Serral.

4) GSL vs the World is a real tournament, but it's one that Koreans traditionally do not prepare that much for and going into it, Serral was not considered a threat to Koreans at ALL. Thus Koreans did not prepare for Serral and as testified by Artosis himself, they were shocked when they saw Serral playing well in the ro8.

5) Gsl vs. the World is NOT a GSL. When you say "X has won a GSL" you mean Code S - not any tournament with GSL in the title!

So no - Serral has lost the head to head in embarassing fashion, and no - Serral has looked much more vulnerable nearly losing to Lambo, Scarlett, and Reynor - players that wouldn't get 45 minutes of air time against Maru and no - winning WCS Montreal isn't remotely as impressive as winning GSL Code S Season 3.

Congrats to Maru - that was a great series although not the best TvT of all time as Tasteless said.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!

Oh, and btw, apparently Jjakji went to the finals to cheer for TY! I'm pretty sure he went to the army, so it's nice that he was allowed to go support his friend.
