BO7 being 45 min long, you already know what happens 😂

[Sibbi]

Serral so disgustingly smooth in his gameplay. All the tiny things adding up to an overwhelming advantage. The scouting is just **chef's kiss**

Serral go to military to learn Terran weakness

Serral after vs Oliveira: "Wheww, that was close".
Serral after vs Maru: "Easy peasyyy"

[wedgeantilles]

Roughly one year ago, when Serral dismantled Maru, somebody said:
"Serral makes Maru look like somebody I could beat."
Well, the same was true on Sunday.

And his dominance is even more impressive, if we look at other high level Terran vs Zerg matches in this series.
Name 3 other great zerg players beside Serral: Dark, Rogue, Reynor - I guess most will pick some from these names.
Name 3 great Terrans - Maru, Clem, Olivereia - at least the first 2 will probably be an autoinclude for everybody.

And if we take a look: Clem took out Rogue, Maru took out Dark and Olivereia took out Reynor.
So the 3 best Zerg got all elimanted by Terran.

ONLY if we include Serral into the count does Zerg gets a score on the board.

-> It definitly is not Zerg that is OP. It is Serral.
Without Serral, Terran would have dominated this tournament.

This was painful to watch. Maru is an incredible player yet he gets sweeped by Serral like any average terran. It's ridiculous how good Serral is.

[malaysianman]

I think this ends the debate once and for all

[Chuckerson]

Flawless performance by Serral. The goat 🐐

[teodoreh]

What's interesting is the fact that Serral knew Maru's mindset. Who else would not had started zergling speed before the 6+ minutes mark not in one but in two games on the same series?

Just a few words: perfect, beautiful, SERRAL

[LasseLundster]

This is indisputably the best ZvT of all time. 15/15 opening vs the best terran in the world 4 times in a row, making zero mistakes.

[FlockofAngels]

Great game, great season, congrats Serral, bravo Starcraft! ❤❤❤

[zottffss]

Maru's style is Serral's perfect bread and butter answer. I have yet to see Maru beat Serral to be honest.

[monferaigne]

Serral is the GOAT no argue, no doubt! He dominates Maru, Hero in 4-0 not even a close match!
Round 1 Maru only last 11mins
Round 2 Maru only last 10mins
Round 3 Maru only last 9mins.
Round 4 Maru only Last 8mins.

„Serral woke up and choose violence“ he was clearly not in the mood to fuck around After the close call against oliviera

[tungnse]

Serral just did what he always does: slowly suffocating his enemies, let them breath a bit then choke their neck again then repeat, let them have hope and the will to survive, only to crush it. Until they are completely broken. You can see her0 basically threw games in the last games against serral, even when he got one game in his hand, telling you how much serral crushes his enemies' will before devouring them.

Maru is just another Serral's food. And maru's fans are crying so much seeing their idols being eating alive in a desperate manner

[Jack___]

It's inarguable at this point. He is the GOAT.

[manningbartlett]

It's worth mentioning (in case you don't know) that Maru is an absolutely amazing player, who would be probably called the GOAT in some alternate, "Serral-free" universe.

11:34 After the first game you can see Maru's shaking hand while taking a drink, he looks shook up
