How do you not cheer for soO at this point honestly
You'd have to be a dedicated fan of one of the other three players, I'd guess.
herO, soO, Stats, Dark headed to final showdown at IEM Kat…

I think ZVZ is the or one of the matchups most skill level dependent. I mean zvt even low levels ones like in Neuro vs Pig team league are fun, but zvz between the top players or those crazy good specialized european players tend to be awesome. And Serral v z is something else. Like Gumiho v z is something different than tvz | ||

You’re totally right if you argue it isn’t fair; BUT for the good of the game it is what must be. Also, as an American SC2 fan, super disappointed that Neeb didn’t play better. Did I expect him to pick up after Serral lost? Not really, but I expected better than a 30 minute or less bopping. | ||

Did I expect him to pick up after Serral lost? Not really, but I expected better than a 30 minute or less bopping. The results of this tournament indicate nothing of the sort. I count at least 6 non-Koreans having wins over GSL ro16 players (Serral, Neeb, SpeCial, HeRoMaRiNe, Scarlett, and Lambo) and probably as many others having wins over ro32 players. | ||

As much as I tend to root for the Koreans almost all the time (especially the Korean Terrans), it's been especially satisfying to watch Serral smack Dark down time and time again lately after all the trash talk. If this tourney ended up being a Dark vs Serral finals, I'd be rooting for Serral. | ||

He has repeatedly made almost every other top foreigner look like scrubs. Honestly I like that Dark always brings the trash talk cause its just fun and adds a little extra spice to the games | ||

Misclicking his army movements, running into banes, eating biles, reacting too late... very uncharacteristic by Serral. I wonder if it was soO having this effect on him or maybe Inno broke him somehow the day before. | ||

A lot of what Dark says and does is for his and the audience's entertainment. He's certainly confident, one may even say arrogant, about his abilities, but he has definitely shown moments of humility. https://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/539001-dark-reflects-on-his-blizzcon-experience As a Dark fan, I wouldn't have it any other way. | ||

Feel like Serral was pretty on point in games 3-5 but in game 2 he definitely wasn't playing at his full ability. On random note, I feel like game 3 showed that the difference between Serral and Maru I feel is that when Maru is ahead he's almost unbeatable whereas when Serral is behind he's almost unbeatable. Serral will surround your army while killing like 20 of your workers before going down lol. | ||

Sadly probably only the good series so far in the play-offs :-/ So that's a bit disappointing but hopefully today delives with more close series! Dark vs Solar was also pretty lit. At least game 3 was | ||
