Serral: Finland's most humble world champion



A neat Finnish interview with possible English subtitles.

Edit. Minor thing for the non-Finnish viewers: When talking about his training hours he actually said "sometimes it's three, sometimes eight"

When Serral mentioned Life, I was thinking, "Wow! We really think alike." I, too, always thought that Life was the all-time best before Serral came along. I also see a lot of similarities in how they play, such as their ling run-bies.

Let's be honest, though. When he said that Life was the best of all time, in the back of his mind, he was surely thinking "second best."

Thank you for sharing the interview.

I love the fact that he prioritizes quality over quantity, not forcing himself to countless hours every day.

He's incredibly more at ease when he speaks finnish.

That is really smart, because grinding long ass hours isn't going to help you in the long term. E.g. you can pull an all nighter to study for an exam and get a good grade but you won't remember that stuff at all like a week later.

And yeah, speaking in your native language is always easier as you don't have to stress about remembering words etc. which very easily limits your capability to express yourself.

Great interview! Really like his approach to practice, focused rather then just grinding for hours. And he seems like such a nice guy

The only non-Terran I have ever cheered for. It is like watching the intelligence of MVP combined with the mechanics of Life.

Was Life's mechanics really that good? (yea, I know his lings were actual blue flame hellion counters... and his ling bane engagement against dream's elite bio mine micro were ridiculous)

I really hope we have our Maru vs Serral match tonight...

I could actually see Scarlett vs Innovation happening and Maru vs Serral for 3rd place believe it or not.

https://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/544296-player-impressions-from-a-chinese-ref-translated

"Basically the dude is a third-year uni student who got hired as an assistant ref for WESG. He has a pretty honest, descriptive POV of his interactions with and observations of Dark, Serral, Maru, Scarlett, and Inno.

...

Serral

Serral the great demon king, non-Korean number one, world no. 1 zerg, unlimited future potential – most of the EU/NA players I’ve been talking with says so.

Of course, in general, Serral is not invincible, like getting 2-0’d by Neeb during group stage. My first impression of Serral is that he looks very young, as he was born in 1998, less than a year older than me. Feels like Serral’s the youngest out of all the NA/EU players, all the other players look middle-aged (Scarlett you’re the exception).

Serral’s practice regimen is also quite diligent, compared to the other NA/EU players, Serral practices a lot longer every day, but different from other players, Serral likes to find pro players to play custom 1v1, not laddering.

When Serral’s practicing, there’s always a lot of players watching, like Scarlett, DNS, Lambo, Special, Harstem, etc., and these folks like to chat a lot, often standing there and talking for an hour at a time.

Serral watches Maru play a lot, at least one match per day, then talks about Maru’s strats and control with other players. If WESG final is Maru vs Serral, personally I feel like Serral is more likely to win.

Top notch skills, friendly demeanor, good relations with others, hot topic champion, one of my favorite players, that’s pretty much all I have to say about Serral."

I think we may be on the eve of Serral becoming the highest earning SC2 player ever. Very exciting.

Such very good series. I liked the Game 6. Serral must have prepared a lot to counter the highly aggression at the late game against the combinations of bio armies, ghosts, Liberators and a couple of Nukes.

Rogue & Maru fan boy. ^^

can't tell if it's just his nature to be a mess in the booth or if he'll outgrow this. his emotion doesn't seem to hinder him as he looks like that in the booth even when he is winning or going to win. anyways, great tournament from the great finnish wonder no shame losing to inno

He wasn't at his best yet he was so close.
He will come back, I am sure of that!
Best luck to you, Serral

the lr and chat seemed to think his cheeses were a sign of weakness but i never saw it like that. i don't think serral is afraid to go into a long game against anyone i think this tournament just annoyed him with the pauses and the lag and delays

Maybe he intentionally tried to avoid multiple long games in his tactical choices, not only because of perceived late game ZvT weakness but also because he wasn't fully recovered from sickness physically? I don't know how it is/was with Joona, but I know this particular flu seems to be using long delaying guerilla tactics to me. Already some 12-13th day going with it: muscles hurting, aching throat, slimy ectoplasma flowing... etc. nice, but no fever/only low fewer.

Anyway. Good tournament, regardless of circumstances. Inno was better, period. Consistency wise there are no big concerns as if player can consistently reach among Ro8 or higher in tournaments with top players, in long run he will do very good career.

If these last 2 tournaments constitute what is "slump" for Serral, then we have no reasons to be particularly concerned.

You ask for it and Dlight adds you!

Quite sure Serral had to try another build in g7, Inno had that push already figured out and a standard game wasn't looking as dire as he maybe expected it to be; might as well be it was a decision dictated by his sickness, only Serral himself can clarify this.

It was a close series, and he scored $40k. He may not have won the tournament, but he still won. Not very many people have been as consistent as he has.
