I think he has to hope for Dark taking out the terrans if he wants to win. My guess would be 20% Serral, 30% Maru, 25% Inno, 20% Dark, 5% Neeb | ||

Across the two events so far, Koreans are 54-3 in series and 130-14 in maps against foreigners. Those three losses being TY losing a throwaway series to Kelazur after he'd already won that group, Maru losing the 3rd place APAC match to Time when he didn't take the match seriously and 2 rax'd each game, and Serral beating Classic in the 3rd place match of last year (which lets be honest is the only serious result out of the three). | ||

Tbf at the time we thought he didn't take the match serious but after his GSL finals vs TY where he played the same way I don't think we can assume that anymore. | ||

My guess would be 20% Serral, 30% Maru, 25% Inno, 20% Dark, 5% Neeb If Maru plays like he did against Impact he has no chanche; Serral maybe has problems in ultra late game ZvT but IEM's series against Inno was worth almost nothing, I doubt Serral would play this passively in a meaningful series. The real question is if Serral is properly focused and can avoid free losses like the ones against Ragnarok in g2 and soO in g2 of their respective series. I'd give Neeb a 3%, anyone else a 2%, Serral a 35% and an evenly distributed 60% to the koreans. | ||

Well he didn't feel confident against TY in a macro game (according to him anyway). I doubt he felt that way against Time, considering in the main event he played standard and absolutely smashed him | ||

I mean not the outcome of the game, the odds that they would meet each other? 5-1? | ||

Let's face it - his ZvT isn't as good as his other matchups. which is not surprising considering the lack of terrans in EU. | ||

I reckon the TIME series was B. | ||

I reckon the TIME series was B. I think the TIME series being meaningless as well meant he couldn't be bothered with a normal game. In the APAC group stages he started nuke rushing and shit once he'd won the group. But he's always been cocky when playing opponents much worse than him, even when the match is important. Like 2 rax'ing Creator in proleague, BC rushing Impact in the latest GSL, his entire asian games run etc | ||

I agree ZvT is historically his worst matchup; did you see the game against Gumiho? Serral didn't scout appropriately and was overwhelmed by a swarm of Battlecruisers, I wouldn't say that game underlined any particular weakness as Serral usually is extremely good at scouting. The games against Inno were worrying but also the ones against Neeb before BlizzCon were; it's possible that Serral's late ZvT is indeed relatively subpar tho, we might find it out very soon. | ||
