Maybe you just don't watch many games at all and then extrapolate based on a very limited sample size. No need to make up fancy terms.

I mean, I've watched every major foreign event of the past couple years minus the two mentioned and I guess a HSC here and there, plus a solid amount of the qualifiers. It's a pretty ridiculous statement.

It's not that ridiculous when you call the player who occupied the #1 and #3 spot on the EU ladder for months "just good".

I mean he was also a whole map away from winning wcs after dominating the two previous EU qualifiers.

Ladder spots don't win you tournaments, and outside of Jonkoping, Serral doesn't have a single top 4 finish in his entire career. He's a good, talented player, I was just saying how I don't know if he can make the step from 'contender' to 'favorite'.

Lambo's above Elazer and TRUE on the EU Ladder, but I don't think that makes him the favorite over those two in a tournament setting, y'know?

It's really funny how the new school Zergs can't beat Terran, but Nerchio and Snute bop 'em and twist 'em at every opporunity.

Need to be a grizzled veteran from the TvZ wars of years past to stand a chance.
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

I wanna see Elazer vs ByuN to see if Elazer's ZvT has gotten any better, but I think ShoWTimE vs ByuN has the potential to be a fantastic series if ShoWTimE's in good form. Should be fun either way.

Yeah easy is overstating it but 5 or 6 burrowed infestors would have turned that around. Thermy gave him a lot of time and went full Bomber with his army.

Funnily enough, Serral fell off the #1 ladder spot when Elazer finished school and took it .

And yes, Serral was a favorite to win both previous WCS events (where he lost to Neeb by 1 map in Jonkoping and choked vs TRUE in Valencia, reminder that Serral had the best ZvZ record outside Korea (outside soO, to be precise) prior to that event)
but eh, I guess he wasn't one of the 2 players who won those tournaments so he isn't a favorite despite being mentioned as the favorite for each and every of those and feared by every single player who isn't Terran?
