He needs a couple more to stay on track for Blizzcon. If he wins the next Taiwan challenger, that's 200 points for the challenger + 100 points for automatic top 32 finish in Montreal. At that point I think he'd need to be quite unlucky to miss out. | ||

He won all these foreigner tourneys yet didnt win IEM or WECG... surprise surprise. Casters hype him up so much, wonder what they'll say when hes swept at GSL vs The World. | ||

Well you only think glory here I think so. But players think more prize money. If you win all WCS Circuit events you will make more money than winning just only one GSL event. I think for Serral it is wise to this year "only" win all WCS Circuit and do the best in Blizzcon. Perhaps next year he aims for GSL. Probably first want to win a house worth of money first. Also joining GSL make some costs and it is more stressful to join both GSL and WCS and may decrease your chances, or whatever other consiquences there might be. Perhaps if you calculate all ods concentrating only winning all wcs circuit events is better bet. | ||

Sure this means a lot and tells alot about his skill. | ||

He won his group at IEM beating Rogue, Impact, Neeb, Zest, and Nerchio, and beat Trap in the bracket stage to end up in top 4 before losing to Classic, who he beat to end up 3rd at WESG. | ||

Casters hype him up so much, wonder what they'll say when hes swept at GSL vs The World. It probably does mean something though. For example even at his peak year (1.10.11-1.10.12) when he won IPL 3 and NASL 3 Stephano wasn’t as dominant against fellow foreigners. He had a 350-89 overall record (79.73%) and a 148-18 record (89.16%) in bo3+ series. While during the last 8 months, after the 4.0.0 patch, Serral is 208–39 (84.21%) and 66-5 (92.96%) against them. But yeah Serral only managed to get 3-4th and 3rd in those two tournaments with Koreans because he lost a series against Classic and Maru after beating other quality players. The hype for him by casters has mostly been completely appropriate. It’s not like they’re saying Serral is now the best player in the world or the best foreigner of all-time. A sweep would obv. be a disappointment even with the quality of the competition. | ||
