World Electronic Sports Games 2018: Grand Finals

The $240,000 WESG tournament is headed towards its grand finale with just four players remaining after two rounds of playoff matches. In the first semifinal match, reigning Global Champion (Wiki)Serral faces off against (Wiki)Scarlett, one of the few Zerg players to defeat the Finnish Phenom in a BO5 during his dominant 2018 campaign. In the opposite side of the bracket, defending WESG champion (Wiki)Maru takes on (Wiki)INnoVation in a battle between two of the greatest Terran players in StarCraft II's history.

The semifinals are set to begin on Saturday, Mar 16 7:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) with Scarlett vs Serral. The grand finals are scheduled for March 17th.

Let's hope we get to finally see the Serral vs Maru match we were all waiting for in 2018.

Look at all those IEM Katowice scorelines

Hopefully it's all setting up some epic series in the semis and finals

Maru and Serral are two of the three elite players left at this event (compared to the 10 ish of blizzcon and 15 ish at katowice) and I still feel like we won't actually see them play eachother.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

If INno beats Maru we'll get that as third place match

So if each series was 50-50, we'd have 50% chances of seeing Serral vs Maru

Pretty much the best you could get from both brackets. I can't wait for tomorrow.

If Serral and Maru meet in 3rd place match then either of the losing will be explained by "not caring for 3rd place"

true, though it's still 10k$ difference in prize money.
then again, considering their total earnings both maru and serral might not see it as a big sum of money.

Abolish 3rd place matches!
I used to organize tournaments for ESL Italy and referee Go4SC2s, WCSs, and IEMs for ESL SC2.

Why do I get this feeling that Scarlett will spoil the dream match-up? She seems to be very confident in this tournament.

saying "Maru defends title in final four" implies he has already defended his title he won the tournament. it would be more appropriate to say "Maru to defend title in final four". JUST SAYAN

We all know Maru's already won. If he loses, it's because of TvT imbalance and jet lag.

I honestly don’t remember the last time there was quite THIS much potential epicness. ZvZ is currently a great matchup to watch, same with TvT, and we’re guaranteed a TvZ Korean vs foreigner, with a possibility of Maru vs Serral.

It honestly doesn’t get much better than this.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Super stoked to see the best Korean Terran vs. the best foreign Zerg. Hopefully it's not too late for the phenomenal Serral v. Maru that Stats ruined at BlizzCon.

Scarlett seems to be one of the few Zergs that have Serral's number (including soO of course), but I'm not sure I see Scarlett beating the Terran.

It does. You could have the same scenario at a tournament that actually gets attention

The cool thing though is that Serral can't avoid ZvT this time. Either in 3rd place match or finals, he'll have to face either Maru / INno and there won't be excuse of meaningless match for either of the participants.

Will he finally get exposed? Or will he finally cement himself as the best zerg in all three matchups?

I like this Top4 a lot, i think the best and most expected outcome will be Serral vs Maru with either of them winning, i prefer Serral.
But if Scarlett beats Innovation in the final i can see riots breaking out and i would love it.
