I don't have one moment. Nukes made some great moments - Solar getting nuked, maru nuking himself... Serrals amazing wins at tournaments where he e.g. dismantles Maru in something like 30 minutes. Great entertainment like Harstems IODIS or Rank Roulette. ...
Reynor and Clem's career started at about the same time. However, Reynor's growth seem to be much faster than Clem early on and sometimes I wondered if Clem ever thought in the back of his mind, "Dang, if only that Italian kid didn't exist, I'd be so much richer." Of course it's probably because he had such a rival in Reynor that Clem was able to be spurred on to such heights and now all that has paid off. Hats off to Clem and a toast to Serral, Reynor, Maxpax, Big Gabe, and Spirit for constantly pushing our Lisan al Gaib.
Interesting nobody really talks about the fact that Serral probably hasn't really been practicing as much, probably very little, as his time is divided with military service? I just think he lost the fingertip feel. I don't think he should have kept playing. It will be harder to come back after he is out.
So good to see Clem's TvZ back in form, his Widow mine skill is the best in all sc2 when he's on point and is critical for Mid game pressure. Also, his scanning & EMP serral's Infestor is what Maru is lacking in the late game. Man how did Clem's late game get so good ? How do you even practice TvZ at that level ?
Wow, what an amazing performance from Clem throughout the whole tournament. He deserved this win, his Terran is the best Terran I have ever seen. IMO in his hands Terran is almost unbeatable, because Terran combines everything you need in Starcraft: Bio-Terran has: - great mobility (medivacs) - insane DPS - great scouting tools with the reaper, the hellion and - of course - scans - low supply needed for a lot of dps (8 marines + medivac are only 10 army supply, but can deal huge amount of damage in short time) - high sustainability and regeneration (heal) - a perfect mix of high micro units (bio + medivac), combined with stuff that takes very little effort (mines + liberators), but that require a lot of attention from the opponent - none of his army becomes obsolete - marines are good early, mid and late game - compare that to roach/ravager which are just mid mid/lategame, so as Zerg you have to get rid of them. - Ghosts / Tanks / Libs and mines almost always guarantee you very good, very efficient trades - huge range (libs + tanks) - with the Ghost you counter almost every Zerg Unit: Ghost counter Ultras, Broodlords, Lurker and Hydras - and they do quite well against banes too - and even against zerglings they aren't bad. So they counter everything but do not get countered by anything. The only downside: Squishy. Bio Terran can get destroyed by AoE fast. But if you play as good as clem - and with the huge nerfs to banes + fungal - that just doesn't happen. And his stuff counters the AoE of the opponent very well: Banes + Infestors have been heavily nerfed. Marauders do very well against banes. Ghost do well against infestors. And against Toss it is even more heavy: Templar? NO chance against ghosts EMP (which btw reduce the HP of Toss armies by roughly 1/3 with 1 click!) The Colossi die against marauders and esp. vikings extremly fast Disruptors are great - if the Terran doesn't micro very good. Against Clem, the Disruptor does almost 0 damage. And on top of that the Terran has: - great map vision because of sensor towers - mid/late game almost unlimited Scans and this way he never has to go in unprepared and he always can check for burrowed threads - mules, which results in him needing at 15 workers less to mine the same. -> His army supply can be much bigger than the opponents and he still gets the same ressources - mules as a great comeback tool if he loses SCVs - SCVs are more resiliant to attacks than drones + probes. The Banshee 2-shots probes + drones. The Oracle 2-shots probes + drones. The SCV needs 3 hits. That is a HUGE difference, because a single oracle gets nothing done against terran. You have double the time to withdraw an SCV (it survies 2 shots compared to 1 shot like drone/probe) - Terran can wall off easily - High safety in the early game - Terran can play greedy. Or very safe. A banshee, a bunker - and there isn't much cheese the enemy can do. IF the Terran manages to micro his Bio-army like Clem, there is nothing that the other races can do against Terran. Because Terran is just perfect in everything, there isn't a single weakness. Well, despite bio being kind of squishy - but if you micro like Clem, this is not an issue. And that results in the perfect race that is in the hands of Clem in this shape and form unbeatable.
Really sucks to have the entire tournament spoiled by you listing the names of the final two in your video. This tournament isn't even a week old -- you should know most people haven't had a chance to catch up. Hope the 100 extra views you get for listing the player names is worth it for your channel analytics though!

Steadfast be back!
Now that there is someone who can take down Serral, it makes it even more probable that Maru will eventually win a big off-line world tournament!

Ignore the shitty comment about spoiler. Thanks for the upload buddy! Enjoying your vids

He went 8-0 over all. That's a first timer.
Ghost imba😢

Bro stop crying
I would say most have caught up, it's the few that still will If at all, so go shove your comment
i’m one of the few but tbh i would still re-watch knowing some of the bracket’s outcomes ..
