This guy is legit. Pay attention. I believed them and bet on innovation to win. Man the regrets are real. I mean let's not pretend that this result isn't surprising (personally I thought it'd be 3-1 either way but had a hard time deciding which way), but the sheer disrespect Serral gets on here sometimes makes no sense to me and it makes me so happy to see him play this well on a big stage again. This is the third time this year that he's shown up big on an international stage. Maybe he'll lose to Dark, maybe he'll lose to Maru in a stomp. But he's damn good and I hope people see that clearly. Sheer disrespect? I usually just see people questioning Serral's hype train just because there's been so little interaction between him and (top) Koreans. And pretty much everything seems to think he's really good?
I'll go through and post a bunch of Serral-related quotes on here that seem stupid to me, but just him being placed as #9 under goddamn GuMiho (who, for the record, has not won a SINGLE offline Bo5 against koreans this year, let alone top tier koreans, while Serral has now won his third.. on top of that, Serral has three top-tier Bo3+ wins - Rogue, Classic, INno - while GuMiho's best Bo3 wins are against the likes of sOs, ByuN, herO, Trap. That's ridiculous to me. Disrespectful.

so, these two will fight for the honor of losing to Serral in the semis?

While I admit that I underestimated Serral, I don't think that the match necessarily proves that Serral is top korean level but I now think he is definitely top 10 player. this match in itself doesn't proof he is a top 10 player - but it doesnt need to since he did proof that long time ago. I am no one that likes dumb hype; Serral is consistent - he is showing great level even in his weaker ZvT. His ZvZ and ZvP are certainly amongst the best 5 Zergs in the world. ZvT you can argue that soO, Solar, Dark, Rogue might edge him out on form but he certainly is top 10 easily - not only in different match ups but overall.
With only 9 active Korean Zergs he better be easily top 10 ZvT

Classic's chin has more personality than Serral does. But winning a lot makes up for any lack of personality.

Certainly giving me the same vibe tho. I think Serral has firmly seized the 'greatest peak foreigner' title at this point, and to be honest he has for me for quite a while. His peer dominance is far beyond what Stephano ever achieved and he's been similar against koreans.
Except for the fact Stephano was playing in 2 eras where there was no region locks and koreans were rolling over everything. Not just any koreans, but some of the greatest gamers of all time.
I respect Serral, he's extremely talented, but what he's doing now Stephano was doing when SC2 was the most watched and competitive e-sport in the world.

I wanna see him against Classic, but Dark is gonna crush Classic probably.

I root for Serral because he is the foreign hope, but yeah, I don't care for him as a person. Heck I root for Dark more than him in that department. I wish they had more interviews for today, though, because those were great from all players

Stephano was less versatile, used fewer strats and adapted less in series. That was why he never did good in GSL, they Korean just made builds that hard countered whatever strategy Stephano was using at time.
I think a lot of players have tried to hard counter Serral, so far not going so well.
What a wholeload of bs :x.
Stephano only tried 1 gsl.
Stephano changed the meta of many MU while being a simple foreigner at a time where koreans were shitting hard on foreigners.

Beating Trap is better than beating Inno tbh

Gumiho has countless more bo3 wins against koreans this year. It's entirely reasonable to put Serral below him. Serral may have a won a couple high profile matches, but that's literally all he had.

But that's just because people have trouble placing Serral due to the competitions he attends. Gumi plays in the GSL (and won one last year). I don't think it's because of a lack of respect.

In TvP not really. Though Serral did beat Trap in a pretty impressive series.

On the other hand, you can say that the overall skill level today is much higher than it was back then during Stephano's time. SC2 is at a place where everything is pretty much figured out and the balance is better than it's ever been.

Well yeah I meant for Serral. It's actually more impressive than beating Classic too.

In a comeback victory too, I believe he was down 2-0 and came back to win 3 in a row. And Trap has perhaps the best PvZ in Korea.
