It really makes me angry that Serral isn't trying for GSL. Seems like a crime for the fans.

Yes it is. Remember Flash in 2010? That was both scary and amazing. And it never got boring, even though Flash was demolishing everyone. Witnessing greatness is always cool.


Some people are genuinely bored/dislike dominance, that's why there are people who aren't Flash fans because they think his dominance is boring. But yeah, I personally like witnessing greatness, and it gives everyone else a target they aspire to beat.

and Flash actually was dominant against the best players in the world.
Not to start anything but it doesn't feel the same when Serral only faces basically the B-tier of the competition.


I agree, but to be fair, the foreign BW scene was a joke compared to the Korean scene. The gap is closer in SC2, and the foreign scene is also better supported. If someone like Serral wanted to challenge the Korean scene, it would be relatively easier and more doable.

When someone is too good for the Jr. Varsity, the only logical thing to do is to put them on the Varsity team.

Serral is there. He's too good for WCS he looks like he's gonna sweep this whole year. How is a system that is regionlocked specifically to foster competitive growth OK with someone coming in and sweeping an entire year's worth of 1st places? It completely defeats the purpose.

There's never been a better argument for ending regionlocking than what Serral is doing right now. It just doesn't make sense when you see stuff like this.

Well, Has is exactly half the letters of Thanos

Forcing Serral to play GSL would be forcing him away from his home, family, training environment should he want to compete. Locking someone into their own region and out of their own region aren't quite comparable.

Who says he can't stay by himself? I'm sure he's got other reasons.
