Would have surprised me if the zerg archon had won against the terran archon, terran is just the best if played perfectly. | ||

Those all are things that Serral used to take advantage of towards his opponents, while he kept his head calm and played standard with excellent defense and impeccable scouting. Of course its good to throw a cheese or non standard builds in every once in a while to keep opponents in their toes, but why try to force them when his micro, macro and scouting is still mostly top class ? In addition, his MMR is still very high and what I have understood and the little I saw he still crushes in ladder like he used to. Anybody has a theory what has happened ? I think skillwise he is mostly on point still, but does Serral overthink the game too much or has the oh so popular "pro-gaming-thinking" of "hey, I lost 2 drones, im so behind, have to all-in!!" got to him somehow ? Any thoughts ? | ||

I fear that Serral may have some issues with ace matches now, no idea why he went for those builds tho. Maybe some pro Zerg who knows him well(Lambo, Elazer...) could have a proper answer! | ||

In addition he seems to try to "force" game to end too aggressively too, while either leaving behind in tech or going for some reason to ultras, which seem to be always wrong option especially in zvz.

Any thoughts ? My thoughts are pretty simple - he's been the target of everyone especially EU pros so they've built entire strategies and builds against him just to survive with a do or die mentality. Because of this, he can never be too sure of what to expect and tries to be a step or two ahead. Part of being 1 or 2 steps ahead is to be more unpredictable. This works sometimes and other times it doesn't. I think he's currently in an experimental phase. Mechanics are still top notch, it's just the mind game that he's playing around with at the moment. So, not so much overthinking, but learning how to think to transcend to the next level. | ||

Any thoughts ? I don't mind the strategies as much, I think the problem are the mistakes he makes in execution and decisionmaking. He used to make only small mistakes if any at all. Has something changed? Maybe it's the online only? I don't know Out of the top of may head: In general: Serral is eating soooo much biles these days  Serral vs Reynor: Game 3: Running a bunch of lings in banes multiple times unforced Not killing the 3rd with roach pressure (would have equalized eco, maybe even favored Serral) Baneling control (reynors 2 banelings killing 6+ banes from Serral. happened twice i think) Game 4: Double Infestation pit, delaying Ultras so much. Also not cheap Game 5: Burrowd roaches did way to much damage. Losing his 4th for no reason Slow reaction time? Edit: I guess he is not happy with his performance, as he himself is his most notorious critic at times. Don't worry, there is always the next tournament Joona! Keep fighting! EZ4Ence! | ||

 StayAtHomestory Cup/2). If I'm not mistaken he is the defending champ x3. Invites are not listed (if there are any), as I recall that was the problem last time around, i.e. giving out points being partially an invite-tournament. Does anyone know if he will attend? | ||

So, I guess he's invited. Edit: he's one of 20 invited players. | ||
