Me too, feels like this tournament is very dull for now. Some games were cool, Mana vs Neeb was a surprise, but apart from that, all my favorites were slain and most series are stomps sooo, yeah

Is it even worth sieging the tanks when they get caught out like that?

I wonder about creep spread - would it be a super bad idea to "limit" how close each active creep tumor can be to other creep tumor? Having some proximity limit could maybe help vs zergs who are having creep covering half of the map by 8 minute mark. And if terran tries fighting the creep, 2-3 queens just shows up and replant the tumors close to the edge so creep isn't really fought back.

Just random thought. Serral is of course on whole another level.

That sounds like the least elegant possible way to nerf creep spread. If it really is a problem (which I don't think it is), just make it spread slower and/or recede faster.

Serral playing against Koreans more would tell us if a foreigner has been "good like this before" though.

He's played against Koreans a fair amount though. He's played 10 offline sets (counting both Bo1s vs soO as one combined set) so far this year, and will most likely finish somewhere in the high teens, including sets against both Classic and Maru when they were pretty much undisputed best in the world. Stephano in 2011 played 15 sets, 4 of those being Bo1, and only played 'good' koreans in Bo3/Bo5. He played a ton more in 2012 but if you trim the weaker Koreans from that pool it looks pretty slim too.

The baneling hits weren't even that big until the end too... HeroMarine's tank focus firing was a bit lacking, but there had to be some Serral magic going on in that defense.

Seeing Serral play would be actually fun and exiting if it didn't meant that the tournament becomes a ZvZ fest, saddly this is the foreign scene.

I think in the start he had too many units still at the back, and towards the end he lost too many to banelings. If he was more aggressive and had good splits + tank targeting he wins that.

Nah, it's not worth it. Balancing WCS and GSL has never been done successfully, not by TRUE, not by Neeb, not by Scarlett.

Serral playing against Koreans more would tell us if a foreigner has been "good like this before" though.

He's played against Koreans a fair amount though. He's played 10 offline sets (counting both Bo1s vs soO as one combined set) so far this year, and will most likely finish somewhere in the high teens, including sets against both Classic and Maru when they were pretty much undisputed best in the world. Stephano in 2011 played 15 sets, 4 of those being Bo1, and only played 'good' koreans in Bo3/Bo5. He played a ton more in 2012 but if you trim the weaker Koreans from that pool it looks pretty slim too.

If you trim the weaker Koreans Serral played like 5 matches.

He beat Rogue 2-1, Trap 3-2, and Classic 3-1. That's about it in terms of beating top koreans

Seeing Serral play would be fun and exciting if he actually had any competition.
Sadly the players that could challenge him aren't allowed to play in this tournament.

The baneling hits weren't even that big until the end too... HeroMarine's tank focus firing was a bit lacking, but there had to be some Serral magic going on in that defense.

Nah he didn't do anything special, Heromarine just had awful splitting.

That was cute, but I think at that point he was already fine after somehow having held the previous engagements.

judging from play, I would put it like this:

in terms of choosing the correct unit composition, placement, general strategy and decisionmaking - neeb when he plays at his prime looks to me the best I have seen from a foreigner.

in terms of overall play - as in mechanics, consistency, not making mistakes, large scale control, etc - serral is undoubtedly the best foreigner I have seen and looks better than any korean I watch right now. and it's not just because we are seeing him against other foreigners. I am not saying he *is* better than dark or rogue, but his macro, movement, reactions.. it's typically hard to find any mistake. he's basically like stephano in his prime, which is already an amazing feat, but he's much crisper than that. stephano had a little sloppiness, serral almost never does.

Getting ruined 0-3 doesn't help his status in comparison to koreans though.

If you trim the weaker Koreans, Serral played Rogue, Impact, Zest, Trap, Classic twice and Maru (and soO). You can try to argue against Zest/Impact but they're still Code S tier.

When I say trimming weaker Koreans from Stephano's results I mean guys like ReaL, JYP, Heart, GanZi, Rain, Daisy, KeeN, Revival, TheStC, CranK. These guys were fringe Code S at best in 2012, and Stephano played 18 sets vs them that year. That's a third of his sets vs Koreans.

He's always been able to dominate the EU terrans. I like Heromarine but he isn't even on the same level as a Keen or aLive or Bunny.

The best korean zergs (soO, dark, solar) struggle to beat TY/Maru/Inno a lot of the time, and they get constant practice against them. I wouldn't have much confidence in Serral

I mean like, solidly Code S tier. Zest made more Ro8s than every korean I listed for Stephano combined, and Impact is still a pretty solid player. Just gotten some unfortunate luck having to face against Classic/Stats/soO/TY in Code S Ro32.

I disagree with you calling the foreign scene a joke, yes Serral is dominant so far and is favourite to win but the skill level in the foreign scene is closer to Korea than it has ever been and the overall skill level is higher than its ever been. Foreigners can't take a map off Serral because he is as good as top Korean zergs.

no idea what this wall of text is supposed to mean.
Region-lock obv didn't kill sc2 but I don't think the WCS events with Serral (and Neeb last year) just winning everything are turning out as Blizzard expected.
It just bores me that nobody can challenge the good players.

I honestly think Snute is the most underrated foreigner in terms of the GOAT discussion. 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.

I disagree with you calling the foreign scene a joke, yes Serral is dominant so far and is favourite to win but the skill level in the foreign scene is closer to Korea than it has ever been and the overall skill level is higher than its ever been. 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.

Nerchio/Serral would be an insightful series. I really think Serral's ZvZ is his one weak spot domestically.

I honestly think Snute is the most underrated foreigner in terms of the GOAT discussion. 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.

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.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

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

Uthermal and Special lost to Serral one-sidedly in WCS Challenger/WCS Leipzig.
Neeb and Scarlett are out of form currently.
The only one I can see beating Serral is Elazer in ZvZ.

Yeah looks really weak

Conveniently cropping out his loss to Scarlett, which stands as his only Bo3+ loss in any matchup to a foreigner over the time frame.

Leipzig was ages ago so I wouldn't count special out yet but yes I would say Elazer is the most likely to beat Serral if anyone

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.

So, three Bo3+ losses, compared to one in ZvT and zero in ZvP. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying he's most likely to lose in ZvZ.

I just have a hard time calling his zvz his weak spot when it isn't weak by any means (especially recently). But sure considering that most top players are zerg in foreignerland it might be the matchup he could lose a map today

Elazer vs SpeCial gonna be 3-1. StarCraft will be saved. The game SpeCial wins will be so great uThermal recovers from his pneumonia instantly.

judging from play, I would put it like this:

in terms of choosing the correct unit composition, placement, general strategy and decisionmaking - neeb when he plays at his prime looks to me the best I have seen from a foreigner.

in terms of overall play - as in mechanics, consistency, not making mistakes, large scale control, etc - serral is undoubtedly the best foreigner I have seen and looks better than any korean I watch right now. and it's not just because we are seeing him against other foreigners. I am not saying he *is* better than dark or rogue, but his macro, movement, reactions.. it's typically hard to find any mistake. he's basically like stephano in his prime, which is already an amazing feat, but he's much crisper than that. stephano had a little sloppiness, serral almost never does.


Yep, Stephano game sense and overall intelligence in his play was really his strenght and the reason why he was so dominant but Serral emulates this with an almost perfect macro + he is more versatile in term of strat with very ahressive timing and push.
However, I would argue that steph was a little bit more creative meta wise.

That's because when you're playing people substantially worse than you, anything you do will look perfect.

If you watch TY/Maru/Dark stomp through foreigners at WeSG, they're probably playing worse mechanically than when they face eachother in the finals, but their play looked perfect because they were outdoing their opponents in every aspect. Even Serral's WeSG run was the same, he looked just as sharp as he does now, but once he faced real opponents his skill was tested and he looked sloppier. Even though in reality I'd bet he was trying much harder when facing Maru/Classic than any of the foreigners.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Snute seemed to outplay himself by fracturing his forces for multiprong attacks instead of just overwhelming with one attack.

The definition likely varies person to person. Some progamers probably value money as a key measurement of success, others value the glory and prestige.

At one point sOs said he thoughtd MC is the best of all time because he was the #1 earner for example.

He was losing too many bases and his macro was slipping a fair bit. I wouldn't draw this down to lack of a comeback mechanic when SpeCial was playing a lot better

He said Serral is the best ZvZ player in the world. He's obviously not the best Zerg in general, and imo not the best ZvZ player either, maybe top 3.

He said Serral is the best ZvZ player in the world. He's obviously not the best Zerg in general, and imo not the best ZvZ player either, maybe top 3.

behind lambo?

I'm pretty sure this is against the rules and Serral needs to be disqualified for not taking the 3-0 from Lambo?

Quite a few european players have called him the #1 zerg in the world, not just top ZvZ player.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

An overlord doesnt really do anything though, because he still has to pull back units to deal with the roaches, which was the whole point of sending the three out. If lambo had either left a few units there or invested in spines he wins 100%. Sometimes pros in general just get too greedy because that 100-200 minerals could be something else, but this time it was needed to win

??? Lambo kept his army home before the bust at Serral's 3rd. Lings woul'dve cleared the roaches easily.

And no, making 2 spines at your base 5 minutes into the game doesn't save money.

Every time the roaches were at lambos 3rd he had no units there to defend and the mutas were on the map. That's why they killed so many drones each time. Sure seeing it helps, but not as much as just putting spines down.

He had no units there cause he had no vision there. You don't need to make 2 spines to stop 3 roaches when you could have an overlord in position so your lings are there when you need them.

Lambo needs to work on not getting his entire army blinding clouded and crushed by banelings. Those fights should not have gone Serral's way so easily.

Now I don't believe PvT mid game is remotely playable. You can't stay on gateway units and get storm as your first splash damage with marauder buff and neither Colossi nor disruptors are any good. Disruptors/stalkers are okay-ish last patch (never seen this build actually wins the game but in theory it can work), but now this patch you just can't build too many stalkers. Feel free to prove me wrong Mana.

He's admitted that he can't just ignore it like people tell him to. And you know, fair play, if he can't he can't. But insulting people cause they say "There's a hive btw" really shouldn't be worth his time.

Lesson / fights lol. Just gonna call people a Douche when they act like one here. These guys shitpost 40k times and just rag on casters and players. Not gonna stop to every once in awhile call it out.

It won’t stop.. obviously. But I enjoy shitposting back at them. Ok back to doing this thing!

He's admitted that he can't just ignore it like people tell him to. And you know, fair play, if he can't he can't. But insulting people cause they say "There's a hive btw" really shouldn't be worth his time.


Not what he said lol.

Didn't Maru do this kind of build against Patience too? I remember his tank push being smashed but he won by just sending banshee after banshee until Patiences economy was destroyed.

Special does not need to harass at all. Just get a big bio ball and do a big push and win. Mana has no splash damage. Dropping would be giving mana a choice.

Special threw all his bio and left 5 sieged libs behind. Mana cleared the bio without fighting the libs and then cleared the libs without bio protecting them. That was basically the story.

Dammit Juan, stop being fancy and just get lib range, you cant deal with disruptors with pure bio.

Special is pretty good at multitasking. But he gotta be better at using ranged libs against Protoss if he wants to fix his TvP. He always sieges liberators in stalkers range as a first move in an engagement without moving bio forward. Do not mistake actions with achievements.
Neither party will be missed.

But man, this game was awesome but...colossi are garbage. Literally no point in making them. Distruptors the only hope for Protoss midgame.

He never got lib range, just reactored libs en masse.

Stats should have made 2 disruptors vs ByuN instead of 1 colossus and then he would have won the rematch.

Collosi feel too weak and disruptors feel too strong unless you're playing someone with gosu micro

Yeah, he gotta be thinking, it's so damned hard to siege these libs since I cannot move my bios underneath them to eat disruptor shots. Liberator range should be an obvious upgrade to get at that point. But it looked like the idea never occurred to him.

Should get nice and close to them for maximum focus fire.

I was just thinking that

both of them lack a bit of finesse compared to the mechanics monsters, but the obsession with multi-prong attacks still pays off

It took him like 8 tries to finish a bunker and then he salvages before he truly needs it, the spirit of Flash is strong in this one

Yeah just never noticed them doing something like this before.

Felt like that buyout basically only impacted CoD.

I would have predicted Mana to lose 3-0 to Neeb, I predicted him to lose 3-0 to Snute, and I would have predicted a 3-0 loss to SpeCial, so the fact that I feel like he's going to lose 4-1 to Serral means he's winning 4-1 or 4-2.

Yeah this is just a repeat of Mana's 2015 run to the finals. He's gonna lose 2-4 and this was the one and only Ro4 appearance of Lambo's career.

I feel like when Serral has figured you out, he will almost always win against you. Like when he lost to Classic at IEM and then won vs. him in WESG, or when he lost the first two games against Trap only to win the next three.

It was starting to look like dear vs rogue for a little while where the immortal core roles over the roach army but serral was too smart to let that happen.

true. that final push would/could not have been made had mana been investing in fleet beacon units. Which would have been the natural flow of the game for most protoss at that point in the game.

I wonder when Serral will realise that Mana is playing heavy upgraded gateway style rather than typical skytoss, it shouldn't be working like it is

He should go lurker + broodlords instead of infestor vs blink, but he needs to scout the transtion, i'm sure now mana will do a carrier transtion this time.

I have a feeling that Serral lost both games due to not having Ravagers early and not being able to put enough pressure while having army advantages.

Nah, he didn't have enough units, Roaches killed few Zealots and then Lings went in, he had just one Sentry and it got killed after the first Force Field.

Time for the down to the wire cannon rush
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

His decision making is superb. Plus Mana didn't slow him down economically at all this game.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

If Mana has the cojones for that it could be epic. But to be on stage, last life, and to make that call. Yikes.

You'd think Serral would have the advantage in the macro game and Mana would be the one to throw the curve balls, yet they seem to have switched places.

Can't blame Mana for losing tbh he did way way more than I expected him to. I was thinking he would get 0-3'd by Neeb already earlier.

Really. I was happy just to see him make it out of groups. I had no reason to expect he'd beat Neeb since he lost to Harstem. Then he beats Snute for his second team kill, and takes out Special (who honestly seemed surprised he was facing Mana because he didn't do his normal prepared builds. I feel like he might have had nothing ready)


That final could have been a 4-2 or a 4-3 for Mana as well. A few key mistakes cost him, but he never looked like he was outclassed. I don't know what happened during this event, but I hope he can keep his form up for the next month or two with how many events are coming up.


Also, fun fact: I asked him after the finals if he ever considered cannon rushing Serral. Unfortunately, he said no because Serral has a great response to it I was hoping throughout the finals he would drop the forge because the crowd would have loved it.

Mana back as a championship contender feels refreshing!

It's good for the scene to see some old stars back. Stephano performed well as well, but his ZvZ is still his nemesis unfortunately.
