It's nice Serral will take a part to Starcraft2.fi V9 tournament, but I do not like the idea he will be playing -10% HP handicapped Zerg.
Protoss or Random without handicap would be much better, IMO. And if any sort of handicap is considered necessary, then it should be at least just a map per match for Serral without arbitrary settings to normal mechanics.
As Zhuge mentioned custom handicapped matches ruin the legitimacy of whole tournament as its something else than proper SC2.
If they really want to see how much Serral can be handicapped to make the Finnish field more even, then it should be arranged simply with a series of show matches, and possibly with even bigger HP handicap.
Serral playing Protoss would be the best option, considering recent balance debates, IMHO.

I agree, after playing Random and Terran, he should be playing Protoss this year.
-10% hp would make him extremely vulnerable to cheeses. Even with his skills, it'll be hard if not nearly impossible to defend against any sort of cheese executed by even a diamond level player.

This. Also, Zhuge almost beat Serral in zvz bo3 in asus rog, so why not just let everything go as standard?

Confident Joona is confident.
In case you guys ever doubted, I am a true fan of Serral: I'm nearly as nervous as I am when my team I care plays in the Champions League's final; I might find it hard to sleep, fortunately I'm tired.

Yeah to maybe be a bit more accurate "...but it doesn't matter as I'm aiming to win the whole tournament, so you have to win against all the other players on the way. So it doesn't really matter at which point of the tournament you beat them."
Serral will come back hungrier than ever, be sure of that. His class is immense, his skill is unmatched. He will come back and win again.
Yeah. Sorry (but not sincere apology) about that same old set of drunken jukebox. Serral rules.
He will come back and win again. Needs to do something with that young magnificent Italian usurper, tho. Losing games by psychology, no! Not against Reynor! No way, practice partner and all. Reynor just showed he wanted it more. And Dark against Serral would've been different thing, exactly because of those same things that made The God King to lose against his Vassal.
What ever, new patch coming, new process of adaptation. In that Serral was best Zerg of the World, in that he is likely be the best one in the future. Others will co-adapt with him.
