That means it's gonna be a 4-0 blowout overshadowed by technical difficulties and everyone goes home disappointed

Serral 4-0 or 4-1 confirmed.

I agree with this it's a real tendency lmao. Hopefully we can have a typical awesome Serral vs Inno series =). If they both bring their A-game this will be a fantastic final.

On paper, this should be really close. I really hope that ends up being the case, luckily WESG has a decent track record when it comes to entertaining finals.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Scarlett vs Maru is closer than expected.
Ganzi beat me without stim. Ostojiy beat me with a nydus. Siphonn beat me with probes. Revival beat my sentry-immortal all-in.

Honestly I think most people believe Serral doesn't look as good as last year so they think his level dropped. I actually think he's pretty much the same player and the other guys are just playing better now. Will be interesting to see what he can do against Innovation who looks like he might finally be back in great form and reclaiming his title as the best terran in the world.


Well, just look at the capital errors Serral made at IEM, you would not find similar ones in the matches he played last year in tournaments of similar importance. His decision making seemed a little off as well as he defended well but did not press the advantage when he needed to and most likely lost because of that.

He still has top notch mechanics and multitasking, at WESG he played at his average level after that very hard start, a very top player still being the most consistent and probably best in the world ; however, Serral is not on par with the unstoppable juggernaut he was at BlizzCon and GSL vs the World where he utterly crushed the competition.

By the way, the next Premier tournament that is not currently ongoing is GSL Super Tournament I, starting the 18th of April.

All this GSL talk here for Serral. Why hasn't he gone? Oh, because this or that?

All this talk is dumb and gets tiring to read. Serral probably doesn't care about any of this, and as far as we can tell has no real desire to go stay in Korea. TL users can obsess over it all they want, but apart from it being a cool idea in theory, I don't think it is worth arguing over because the argument conflates TL users desire to confirm who is best with Serral's personal goals which don't apparently align.

Having said that, since his brother already lives there it does seem like his road to GSL would be easier than it is for most foreigners since he would at least have a piece of home there. I would love to see him try a few seasons, but I totally get him not feeling any need to do it.

Maru lost his passion.

In all seriousness, he doesn't seem as motivated. I mean he won tons of money and 3 GSLs in a row. He's probably taking a little break. He's still great, though. He just doesn't want it as badly as he did. It's time for someone else to be the greatest in Korea for a while until he regains his lust for the game or pursues something else.

Really gutted there won't be that Maru vs Serral finals, but INno vs Serral should be epic.

INno took down Serral at Katowice with convincing late-game victories and I hope we see some of that tonight.

GuMiho also took a map off Serral in the late game at Katowice with a cheeky late BC switch.

It seems like one of Serral's weaknesses is his late game against Korean Terrans. Maru and TY are both exceptional at late game TvZ too.

Hope INno brings it home tonight.

Maru is on a bit of a slump or losing a bit of an edge lately.

Maru is a choker, i feel he gets tilted very easily. He messed up against sOs at Blizzcon and got 3-0ed, he was styling on Scarlett in game one, messed up, then played very poorly in the rest of the series.
Inno has way more mental fortitude than Maru, even if his mechanics aren't as good.
Has foreign StarCraft hit rock bottom?

I did that back in the day, stayed up for some Proleague or OSL finals, was so tired that watching Effort's amazing comeback against Flash all I could think of was "god damn it, if this had ended 3-0 I could be sleeping now" .

Thank goodness we have VODs on Twitch now / otherwise I don’t think I’d be able to keep up with the ASL KSL or GSL.

Not to mention this past month and a half we have been ridiculously slammed with SC2 events between WCS GSL IEM and WESG, one can’t hope to keep up if they’re living a somewhat normal life without the Replay options. 😉
