So sad to see lack of even racial distribution. Makes for less entertaining tournament.

the part where this is false lol


No, it isn’t. Had uThermal won one map that he lost, his map score would be 6:6, which is exactly the map score TY and soO got.

So the final will be Serral vs Stats/Dark/TY, unless soO could channel his inner kong power.

now do some calculations and let me know who'd have advanced in this situation. ty who had 1 more series won, soO who won the head-to-head, or uthermal who got outplayed by everyone?

Naw.

soO and TY have a better chance imo. soO for just having incredible ZvZ that can match Serral and TY for being a Terran with a huge arsenal to throw at him.
.


Not if soO plays the way he played today.

As for my prediction, for some reason I have a feeling that Serral will not take this title. I can't exactly tell you why. Maybe it's because he looked kinda lost vs Innovation while Stats and Dark both looked almost flawless. Especially Stats. But I'd also be glad if Serral won this one as well.

i don't care who'll win, but i hope to see some good games in the next stage... most games so far have been underwhelming, feeding off "stories" and big names but without that much substance. it'd be nice if someone could take down serral to at least give him a reason to take his game a step further, but it doesn't seem likely... zest vs soo looks exciting, ragnarok vs neeb... i don't want to see another serral vs stats, but koreans are slacking off.. soO has a better chance winning a GSL than an international championship so better focus on that.. gl to all players tomorrow hope they bring some good games!!

uThermal wins the third map against TY. uThermal advances in 2nd place, TY is out in 5th place.

nice try moving goal posts, but that's not an argument for uthermal "wins a map;" it's an argument for uthermal winning a specific map, namely beating TY, which won't happen in his wildest dreams: ty is 4-0 against your friend now. anyway, glad the excess weight is off the plane, so we can hopefully have some good starcraft matches instead of overhyped scrappy games from mid-tier players

Amazing bottom bracket. No matter the finalist it will be tough for Serral if he makes it there too.

We saw a huge weakness in Serral's ability to close out late game ZvT against top tier Terrans. If TY plays Serral he now has a game plan on how to win.


The game against Gumiho was the result of lack of proper scouting, the first game against Inno was a 40 minutes death animation due to tons of roasted drones.

Serral's last game against Inno was someway perplexing, he was in a very good position and seemed too passive and indecisive.
After winning the first map, Serral was sure to advance as first in the group even if Solar's would have gone 2-0 so there actually is a question mark on the actual relevance of his subsequent loss, not unlike his 0-3 online defeat against Neeb right before BlizzCon.

Serral played at a quite high level today, committing too many errors(pointless aggression against Solar, not scouting properly against Gumiho, messing up Zerglings' micro against Ragnarok) as well as impressive plays(the astonishing comeback in that game against Solar, for example); the last two games he just seemed a bit off, unlike his usual self.

We might have the answer in a couple of days, or a couple of weeks at WESG; TY's path to the finals is theorically harder than Serral's if we look at the confidence in the matchups they'd have to play to reach them.

I'm quite convinced Serral takes this if he avoids to be such a memer.

My theory is that Innovation lost in this group so badly because he was specifically practicing to take Serral out, which he managed to do. In both of those 40+ min. games Inno won, he had the same late-game strategy: siege up w/ air at the third for 20 mins while wreaking havoc with nukes & bio around the map. I think Serral coulda/shoulda tried to bust the turtle rather than letting his attention keep getting split. + Show Spoiler +
The broods/corruptors were circling around uselessly, & the libs/vikings were just sitting idle, while we just watched ghost/medi-vac drop vs. ling/bane/hydra/infestor for 20 mins.


Though it may be his first Bo3 loss in a year, I do think in a Bo7 Serral could figure it out. ...Really, that'd be the series these players deserved.

Hahah I do not think that would be worth so much money, not really how it went; however, Serral's strat was inefficient.
I agree Serral could probably figure it out, he'd have lost both a bo3 and a bo5 at HSC but he took the series and the trophy in the end; his attitude during those last games was what surprised me.

Terran are getting crushed at IEM. Only 1/8 Terran in WCS EU. And just 2/8 Terran in WCS NA.
