But premise is flawed since 4.0 was undeniably the best for Zerg. Just because specific Zergs aren't trash before the patch doesn't mean the patch had no effect.

Serral was a top 3 foreign Zerg before the patch. And? Not saying he's a patchzerg but there's a huge difference between top 3 foreign Zerg and being the undisputed best foreigner. The best foreigner has pretty much always been a Zerg, so it's not too much of a leap. When was the last time the best foreigner was a Zerg before Serral. Snute in HotS? Nerchio in 2016, and even in 2017 the top 5 were 4 Zergs with Neeb at the top. I don't think Nerchio was ever the best foreigner, either Showtime or Neeb were always ahead of him. I think he was the best foreigner in April-May 2016 in between Snute and Showtime. Also mid-2012 I think he was the best at some point in between Stephano's reign? Winning a tounament doesnt make you the best for 3 months.

Serral played just way better today than Neeb, deserved victory. I enjoy the Protoss salt 
btw Neeb was not the best foreigner in 2016.

Meanwhile Elazer just wins the game.

Winning a tounament doesnt make you the best for 3 months. Nerchio got top 4 in 4 out of 5 tournaments in the first half of of 2016, I'm pretty sure that makes him the best foreigner in that time span. Also, I forgot how terrible the WCS format was for 2016, that was probably the low point for SC2: 2 GSL's a year, matchfixing, end of Proleague, and 3 WCS championships. The only positive things I can remember from that year are Neeb's Kespa Cup run and Byun's return from the grave to win GSL and Blizzcon.

Not sure. The examples you gave were all Scarlett.
It's good for him also sure, just feels like there's some hyperbole.

They are kind of a sideshow, but they might come in useful when determining who was the best foreigner of March-April 2018 six months down the line.

Is someone watching Classic vs Elazer or are we too busy pointing out patchzergs? I just realized its already going on and at 1-1.

That was before Classic started losing though. He's officially washed up now .

Only get banned when you complain about other races then Zerg.
But yeah the balance whine here is a joke.
Lots of Protoss and Terran are doing fine, Neeb and Inno are just out of form

Now comes the time of Elazer. Move over, Joona.

Damn, here I was thinking I'd still get to watch Serral vs Neeb now, but apparently the OP times were wrong and 3-0's don't help. Well, like I thought, he 3-0'ed Neeb without shitty PC issues.

By lots of terrans doing fine you mean Maru, MoustacheTerran, PirateTerran, and TerranSucksBallsWithoutMe right?

Elazer's focusing way too hard on the hydra/lurker stage. Puts him on a clock.
