The first man to challenge Mvp's throne and only who even came close during the King of Wings reign. One of the most dominant TvZ streaks ever. Teamleague legend. Champion. Overall great guy. And so departs the first son of Slayers
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Yeah, about that... I mean he should have been accepted by now. It's been forever since he last talked about it. And in the meantime he's casually attended offline tournaments.

But everything has an end GumBa, and what a fitting end to his farytale story ! All of this is incredible, and yet this accomplishment is crucially really real ! I'm glad that he goes out like this, I was afraid he would just leave us but this is a wonderful gift to his fans.

MMA...man, what a career. His Blizzcon finals against MVP was one of the most epic series of Wings. All the best, man, all the best.

No. He's a champion, one of the most ecxiting players of all time and a legend of the game. But Mvp is the king of wings.

After all these years... MMA begun as Jjob so long ago, being the heir of Boxer... Then all the memories with SlayerS, the first MLG against Losira... The final against DRG... The iron squid The dark times... And then coming back full strength with Acer. The WCS Europe back to back... And at the end of the year final against Life. The global finals. Event if 2015 was not the greatest of his year, he still mananged to win one last tournament.

This man is a legend. Resilience, hard work, and a little bit of luck showing here.

So many good memories, also. He is and always will be a part of Starcraft. And a model for everyone to follow !

Good bye !


Strait up, I think he was a part of more epic SC2 memories than any other player.

Like I know that that might be the most objective statement in SC2 history but hold on a sec.

First he enters the scene by 3 killing Zenex to almost reverse all kill in the first GSTL (If I recall correctly).

Then BAM! He and Alicia take down the second GSTL and he has the worlds attention. He defeats MVP in the ace match in an epic battlecruiser battle setting up one of the two biggest rivalries out there. He loses to Polt in the super tournament. Wins that epic MLG. Wins GSTL #3 against DRG in the ace match, setting the stage for the best game of 2011 when he takes down DRG. Not to mention beating MVP in that GSL.

And then the fall from grace. Losing to Gumiho (in game of the year 2012) after dropping the manner mules, Gumiho then goes on to all kill Slayers. That GSTL finals coincided with the breakup of slayers. But form is temporary, class is permanent. He came back, and was there with his team for the final GSTL to take home one more GSTL championship. And like you said, WCS EU, reaching global finals against life and one last hurrah now.

There wasn't a year where MMA wasn't a part of something iconic in the year. I feel like we're going to look back on this HSC, one of the few Korean vs Foriegner weekend events from here on out and think man, we need to keep those going.

Typing that, I feel like if one wrote the story of GSTL through the lens of MMA it would be a hell of a thing.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

He came in slayed nerds and reached the top. He then did perhaps the hardest thing anyone can do. He fell. And boy did he fall far into the abyss, everyone though it was over but goddamn he turned it around and fucking fought his way back to the top. He did win again. He did place high in Korea again. He did win teamleagues again. HE REACHED BLIZZCON FINALS.
What a fucking fighter.
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.
