GSL vs. The World became WCS Seoul as Elazer and Serral locked in an all-Circuit Zerg final on day three of the tournament. After achieving what seemed like a fluke upset against Dark in the Ro16, #8 ranked Circuit play Elazer extended his underdog run by defeating TIME and Neeb to reach the grand finals. Meanwhile, Serral resumed his Korean-beating ways after previously losing to Stats at ASUS ROG Summer, reaching the GSL vs. The World finals by beating TY, Trap, and Classic in consecutive matches.
GSL vs. The World 2019 will conclude on August 18th with the best-of-seven grand finals between Serral and Elazer, preceded by a Proleague-style team match between Team Dark and Team Serral.
Team Dark: Dark, Reynor, Stats, TIME, TY, SpeCial, soO, HeroMarine Team Serral: Serral, Maru, ShoWTimE, Classic, Elazer, Trap, Neeb, FanTaSy
So what we needed for the historic moment of having the first non-korean final in a korean-based tournament was to get YouTube polish people vote for players instead of the StarCraft community?
Elazer's been pretty impresive, I thought Neeb would beat him and prevent a ZvZ finals. I usually don't enjoy watching ZvZ but Serral impressed me in his ZvZs last year, so I hope tomorrow's games are insane
