[@tigera6]

@@keizan5132 I dont know, all I see was both guys doing the exact same build for 6 games, and Clem micro was better than Reynor micro for 4 of those games. There was no mind game, no strategy, no adjustment whatsoever, just both guys fighting over and over with the same units comp until one guy mis-micro and lose. The series of Clem vs Serral was a better one imo because Serral willing to try different things and force Clem to also change his strategy as well to adapt those change. As fast-pace and exciting the Clem vs Reynor match was, it was not "great" if you look from that view point.

[@balazsfejes8817]

absolutely insane finals, thank you for the games!

[@A7xFo]

I feel like Clem has grown enough to the point where he could compete in GSL and potentially win. Being down 0-3 and pulling a reverse sweep against a player like Reynor is unheard of. Clem feels more dominant than Innovation or Maru in their primes. This was the best finals I've seen in probably a decade of starcraft 2. Maybe the greatest finals ever in my opinion. 7 games and none of them were blowouts. Neck and neck until the very end of each match. So much going on at every single moment of each game. Heavy macro on both sides yet so much action and micro at every stage. When it was 0 to 3 I was pretty sure that Clem was done. Every win that he put on the board got me more and more excited for the next match. The final match I thought Clem was dead for sure after he lost 24 SCV's to banelings but he miraculously came back even with Reynor not making any huge mistakes. absolutely crazy finals and worthy of one of the greatest series in starcraft 2 history.

[@yunfanfan9452]

I'm running out of words to describe Clem. I just hope that he keeps the form and win a big one. He really deserves it. Reynor is so incredibly good as well. I don't know how he held the 3-3 attacks by Clem for so long with 1-1 (edit, actually 1-3 with a late missle upgrade) in the last game. Unbelievable.

[@RoseGold-Playa]

Zerg OP that's why

[@rayshroud9729]

I wondered about that too. It was a very intense game, so I'm unsure if it was a misplay on Raynor's part or if he just felt so pressured that he didn't think he could afford to go for it.

[@jehmed]

Okay that last game was one of the best I've ever seen. Two monsters on the top of their game going blow for blow and Clem clawing back from the jaws of defeat to take it all.

[@y.martel842]

that last game was a waste of time. Reynor didn't even try to win when he stopped researching upgrades. 1-3 vs 3-3

[@pLaMRs]

Clem is a BEAST!!!

[@DamagesOverTime]

Holy shit this is the best series I've seen all year by far.

[@Jeff-fc7nf]

Clem played an Epic series there. Raynor just threw the series for himself. Stop doing what worked in the first 2 games, and tech switched into terrible lurker tech against ghost in the last few matches. Whats most impressive is how well Raynor actually did with a bad strategy. Clem just did everything right and his strategy carried him through with his god like micro. Had Raynor opened with some aggressive roach, used nydus or muta in the mid games to shut down some of that medivac and opened up more harass, he could have cleaned up any one of those last 4 matches. Still one of the best series of the year, hands down. What a Grand Final it was. Bravo to both incredibly talented and inspiring players. Was pure joy to watch this and not blink for 2 hours.

[@mastadon]

nah that is the problem. clem opens banshee and that shuts down roach entirely. and if you pay attention, he did banshee builds for the last four games. Super safe against roach all in. Muta play against clem is suicidal (cite the serral v clem game 2) because clem can really micro and protect his mineral and multi prongs attack at the same time. I agree with nydus play. queen nydus all in for example.

[@PerfectMarketingNow]

that was 1 of the best finals I've seen

[@walden6272]

37:30-42:00 jesus .. that game nr 3 (making 3:0 into 3:1) was insanely well played from clem. Raynor was on point so hard, and still clem kicked him out of this. I couldnt perform the micro like that, even if the game was slowed by a factor of 10!

[@thiccpoog2981]

One of the greatest finals/comback/TvZ/overall SC2 games ever, however you like to call it. Reynor played as well as a top Zerg player could realistically play, but Clem simply played probably the best TvZ in the last 4 games, no cheese, no luck, only good honest late game wins with perfect macro, micro and multitasking. The icing on the cake is that both player played aggressive style so all the the games were just mind-blowingly fast and entertaining from start to finish. I am speechless.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER I CANNOT believe clem came back from losing 24 SCVs in game 7. That is a game ending loss. I called gg to myself internally as I just knew there was no way he could come back from such an utterly devastating loss that early in the game. One of the greatest comebacks in SC2 history.

[@gui1521]

As exciting as a reversed-sweep can be and as hard it could have been for Clem. I agree with ppl saying this is not the "best final ever". The 4 victories for Clem looked the same : no need for tanks, no need for Thors, no need for BC, no need for creativity. Just start : reaper + helions into Cloaked banshees, then bio-ball with marines + marauders + medivacs + MINES (OP vs Zerg imo) then ghosts when your opponent start to make vipers. We barely saw roaches, mutalisks or ultralisks from Reynor's side. That could have been a good counter to this "basic" terran strat in TvZ. Clem is a micro god and can adapt quickly in macro but... that's a bit sad we feel he didn't even have to since it was a copy + paste game 4 times

How is this for Dreamhack Atlanta 2022??? It doesn't start until November??

[@space_orphan]

Reynor's philosophy is apparently if you don't succeed, try the exact same thing and hope it works next time. Honestly shocking how bad his play was. Forgetting upgrades, no spire, random army suicide missions... Not gonna win championships playing like that. I really don't understand why some to Zerg players think they can completely skip spire. You just get absolutely wrecked by Libs in the late game, and a few corrupotors go a long way.

[@simon_does]

Absolutely insane oh my god

[@teodoreh]

If a decent S class terran gets momentum it's game over. That's one of SC2's biggest problems on TvZ - besides the fact that ghosts counter every single t3 unit and WMs require no micro. If Serral played Toss, Zerg would had 2 less nerf patches on their back.

[@rocobrasaure]

"besides the fact that ghosts counter every single t3" Maybe yes but Terran has no other units to counter the T3 zerg. And it's a problem because the ghost becomes a mandatory unit in any late game and its versatility makes it very difficult to master perfectly (Clem is one of the rare terrans to do it so well).

[@4utoxic]
