The GOAT continues his perfect run in DH SC2 Masters Fall, only one more series left before he's unleashed into the Playoffs

Goat

Win: Deathaura (map 1)

Serral goes for a very early push with lings, roaches and ravagers, that break through to goblin's natural. The Protoss defences are a little too late, as the phoenix is just in production during the attack. Serral secures himself a fast victory in under 4 minutes!

Win: Ice and Chrome (map 2)

In game 2, goblin opts for the same strategy and decides to go for stargate play, starting phoenix production. 

Serral throws down a nydus network that remains unscouted for a while, and he advances through to goblins side of the map. He takes with him 8 queens that bulk up the ravager army, but they're not enough to end the game there and then. The rest of the army goes down, but Serral's lings still get the kill on the 3rd base.

Phoenixes dive in and out of Serral's territory, picking up queens and drones and goblin starts void ray production. He moves out with them as well, but encounters Serral's large hydra force. goblin starts pushing out carriers.

Serral moves in and pushes aggressively with his hydras and infestors, putting the Microbial Shroud ability (Creates a shroud that obscures ground units underneath, reducing damage taken from air units by 50%. Lasts 11 seconds.) to good use. Serral kills goblins third base again but is forced to retreat when the carriers arrive. The Carriers pursue Serral back to his base, but soon the corruptors join the fight, and pick off majority of the carriers, forcing a recall. 

Serral added ultralisks to neutralize the high templars and their storms on the ground, and dives in towards goblins army. The massive burst damage from the corruptors secure a 2-0 for the Finn again!
