He actually competed with them in HotS and did decent, especially against korean protoss. Other foreigners weren't really noteworthy during that time. Stuchiu had Snute at #3 which I think is pretty much agreeable. It's unfortunate that he played during the hardest era of competition because it makes him have very few notable runs, and Snute hasn't been good enough in LotV to justify putting him over NaNiwa. | ||

Foreigners can't take a map off Serral because he is as good as top Korean zergs. Okay, maybe "joke" was a bit harsh but compared to Serral they are just not on the same level. | ||

I've always valued decent runs in harsh times to be equal or better to great runs in good times. Beating the current GSL and SSL champions back to back in 2015 is damn impressive. Probably more so than winning a tournament against obviously inferior opponents. | ||

I really think Serral's ZvZ is his one weak spot domestically. http://aligulac.com/players/485/results/?after=2018-03-01&before=&event=&race=z&country=all&bestof=all&offline=both&game=all&wcs_season=&wcs_tier=&op= Yeah looks really weak | ||

There are players who are close like Elazer and Neeb/Special/Scarlett/Uthermal when they peak. Korean Protoss are praising Elazer as their main Zerg practice partner to help them take out rogue, soO and dark. I think if we look objectively who Serral has played against so far it's not the tip top players; clem, tlo aren't even top 20 foreigners imo. I wouldn't even put kelazhur or Heromarine in my top 10 maybe others disagree | ||

Neeb and Scarlett are out of form currently. The only one I can see beating Serral is Elazer in ZvZ. | ||

Results that are from more than 3 months ago don't even give any indication to current form (even less sometimes doesn't) so it's more than fine to cut that. | ||
