The players he played against (Polt, MC, DongRaeGu, MMA, MarineKing) had nowhere near the quality control today's players have, and he played against an enormous amount of mediocre koreans who would get steamrolled into irrelevance today (inori, boxer, lucky, thestc, sound, real, jyp, post-prime nestea, heart, ganzi, alicia, terran rain, daisy, keen, revival, crank). That's bs. The era he was playing in was far more competitive than any era of LotV. Don't let the nature of LotV fool you like nowadays players are mechanical gods or anything. Plus most of the guys coming from kespa (even superstars) were as mediocre as the players you listed on sc2 | ||

That's ridiculous to me. Disrespectful. uhh...I'd still easily put Gumiho above him. I know Serral's win was epic, me and a lot of others have egg on our face big time...but chill. He might very well go down 0-3 in the next round for all we know and we'll be trash talking you back. Why? Because he's still barely played any Koreans this year. We still don't have a good grasp on his form vs them. Gumiho has been tried and true all year and he actually plays in the GSL which is still the ultimate test. Whether or not he's played x-amount of bo5s or not his results carry more weight. His results against Koreans were also more recent as well (remember it's a power rank). Serral's last match against one was in April before today... | ||

When Stephano won IPL 3 (which he did over zero koreans who would even rank in the top 50 all-time) the Code S Ro32 had such glorious names as Noblesse, Clide, Ensnare, asd, Virus, Genius, TOP, HongUn, July, Killer, CoCa. The Korean Happy made Ro4 that season. It was a joke outside of the absolute elite (MMA, Mvp, NesTea, maybe guys like DongRaeGu and Leenock who were coming into their own), but.. oh wait. Stephano played zero offline sets against any of those guys in their prime. Stephano also had a better Proleague record than most of EG-TL so sure, whatever you say Keep in mind you can only beat the players you face | ||

Do you also think that Maru's TvT could be garbage, since he's only played one series of it since March? | ||

I felt bad for Classic at Katowice. Almost everyone was cheering for Serral and Classic got barely any support after 3-0'ing him. Then when Rogue 4-0'd Classic the crowd all roared for him. He couldn't win. | ||
