Serral played well, but that felt more like Dark being a bit too predictable and not adapting to Serral's read on him; imo Serral still feels mortal enough for Hero/Clem to possibly take it

WombaT’s Law feels especially strong here. He’s played basically every Zerg in the tournament bar Dark, and Serral himself twice. Serral is good enough at scouting within games already without having all that study material.

A Bo9 versus Clem if both bring their absolute A-games could be an all-time great final. Equally, it would be Clem’s debut on the kind of stage Serral is very familiar with, so he might struggle with the occasion.

Hey I’d love to be wrong and for herO to make it through and take this for Aiur, but it’s a Bo9 in a matchup that generally favours Zerg the longer the series, versus the greatest ZvPer of all time. In a tournament where he’s had to play most, if not all his cards due to facing a bunch of Zergs.

Aside from breaking the Protoss duck of many years of WC events, being a military returnee while doing it, which already would make this an incredible story, beating Serral with all those factors in play would make this one of the all-time great championships if he could pull it off

Dark did not play "well" today though, unfortunately.

in the past 1 year period Serral has a series record of 81–6. Out of these 6 losses - 4 are by Clem (1 by Maru and 1 by Solar). Really hope Clem delivers in the series with herO for the sake of fantastic BO9.

Oof!
