Serral took another convincing series in the Group Stage of DH SC2 Masters 2020 Fall EU with a quick 2-0 against the Russian Terran Brat_OK!

The brood war veteran Brat_OK was the fourth challenger in the Group B for Serral, after he had already defeated 3 other players in the group. Brat_OK is known for his preference of a mech-heavy playstyle, which he took to some unconventional routes to try and beat the Finnish Phenom

The TvZ began on this icy map, with Brat_OK going for hellions to heat up the atmosphere. Serral sniffed out the build correctly, and scouted out the addition of a thor to the Terran player's ranks. Serral was well-prepared for the push with queens, roaches and lings and forced Brat_OK to retreat and settle for denying creep. 
Serral saw the green light on his kill-switch and morphed 8 dropalords. This fleet of doom dropped right on top of the terran army, annihalating it and the third base. He continued the death march from there into the natural. This broke the last of Brat_OK's tank lines, ending the game in favour of our Zerg player.

After a relativly calm start, Brat_OK decided since he went for 1 thor in game 1, he should go for 2 thors in game 2. Serral scouted this successfully, as he opted to go for overlord speed again. Joona decides to try and tackle the comp with swarm host play. The locusts swarms wreak havoc as Serral moves the swarm hosts around using a  nydus network. Defensive aggression is made impossible as Serral kept a good count on the thors and medivacs, almost sniping them down with corrosive biles. The thors dodged, unlike the immovable supply depots as Serral started to bite through Brat_OK's defences. The ravagers soon took a base down, and with it, the game.
