And yeah as it was said the previous interview was pretty basic stuff overall. Said he started going to the gym lately though, which he finds helpful keeping himself a bit more fresh and limber

Also pretty basic stuff, but had a couple of minutes to spare so here's a few notes from it.

- Expected to win a Finnish tournament, especially when there are so few players from other countries.

- Felt it still wasn't as easy as in the past. Probably due to other Finns improving also.

- Felt maybe a bit uncertain against the muta style that both Reynor and Namshar like since it's not the most standard style.

- Maybe isn't the best player out there in his opinion so the ratio of invites/qualifiers to tournaments for him is probably 50/50

- Looked into the top opponents play in this tournament, but didn't think he needed to show anything too out of the ordinary, mostly standard play.

- Likes to both research and practice with the six hours he tries to spend with the game daily

- Plays hearthstone and other more relaxing games also.

- Was ok to get some games before the IEM qualifiers even though it took quite a bit of time.

- Not sure if he's going to the Dreamhack in the US. Other than that doesn't know what big tournament up ahead.

This guy just did the best swarmhost move I ever seen right now vs Neeb. So cool to watch.
Could not have hoped for a better WCS final.

Great showing and result for him finally with the 2nd place in a major tournament.

Nice experience from bigger games, and plenty of hunger still left when going to Valencia.

Result aside, this tournament has really shown just how talented Serral is. He isn't just talented, he's also humble and graceful in defeat. This is just the breakthrough, now I think he will start to really kick on and make it happen

all the best to him

Pretty sad that you didnt make it further, I must say. True was really tough but I think you couldve made it. The games were excellent though, really fast paced .
But, best of luck onwards, you got insane talent.

Let's be honest Korean Starcraft is somewhat stagnant. There are no young players ready to burst onto the scene and perhaps dominate. There are a couple of young Chinese players out there but the real hope for the future of our game is in the 3 young foreigners, Neeb, Serral and Elazer.

Serral vs Gumiho today is a bit of the future vs the past. Gumiho has been around forever and a Serral win could signify a changing of the guard just a bit.

Those of you who have followed Serral a bit more than I have could answer this. How is his poise and his ability to take his game up a notch against better competition? He's not playing Lambo in a European tournament he is playing a GSL winner in Blizzcon. Is he ready for the challenge? He is obviously talented but also young and inexperienced for this stage.
