I think Maru is the only one who would be pretty favored against Serral. I also think soO could also be favored against him if his ZvZ is in good form.

Maru got dunked on hard in that team match, and no despite it being a showmatch the level of play is still very high. They are basicaly 50/50 at the point.

Did he? He lost 25 workers in the early mid-game and it still went late and Serral had to use up his 5k/4k bank.


it's a terran on 3 bases. losing 25-odd workers for the sacrifice of map pressure and serral's upgrades is not the worst trade.
he got dunked on because there wasn't supposed to be a moment in which serral actually loses the game and the way in which he won.

Serral is far better.
Nerchio was good at the very beginning of LotV when Zerg was so strong Bly was a top player.

Oh boy you have missed out on a lot.
He is definetily the best foreign Zerg, very likely the best Zerg in the world and possibly the best player in the world.

Serral is like 10x times better than Nerchio has ever been.

Yeah, I'm not in sync as you can see. Haha, maybe I should start following StarCraft again.

We'll see how best he is. Anyway #saveKorea #regionLockKorea

I don't follow the Korean scene, but has it become so bad these days that Serral won against Koreans? Or, is Serral practising that hard? Both?


Without the kespa teams its essentially an even playing field now.


no it is not, because of REGION LOCK. Serral and other foreigners enjoy what Koreans do not. They can travel around the world and participate in whatever tournaments they like, the same thing doesn't apply to Korean, if they lose in GSL qualifier, that's it for the season.

Serral might be the best zerg in the world, there is no doubt that he is the best foreign player


Interesting times when the best StarCraft player from any race is a foreigner. This wasn't the case in the past.

I'd say Serral is top 5 world for sure, but I wouldn't be so sure he can perform like today if he played the other koreans again in 1-2 weeks. Like Viper said though, the gap between Serral and the 2nd best foreigner is pretty big. Scarlett was not far away from beating him, and she also was pretty good at this event so she might be 2nd atm.

Serral wins because he's training is on the same regime as Koreans in Team Houses. I mean, most of foreigners study, or go to the parties, have social life. Serral is the most commited foreigner player that I ever seen. Neeb is also training titan, and he managed to pull off another big win over Koreans at the Kespa Cup. That's the secret, along with their great skill in sc2.

The difference between Serral and other western attemprs to breach the kingdom of Korea is that he isn't easily exploitable. He doesn't rely on any gimmicks, he is a well-rounded player. Obviously Korean-style study can help beat him, but it won't be such huge effect in his case.

Serral is faceless enough that people assume he trains like a korean
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Do you listen to what Noregret is saying about Scarlett on TPS? Maybe some people think that everybody is like her
