Could he have won if every other teamhouse didn't fall down? Could he have won if Rogue and sOs and his coach and other teammates didn't help him practice? Could he have won if Serral was there? Serral on the other hand has quietened all of his critics time and time again. GOAT? Certainly up there. Noone has ever had a year like this in the history of SC2, from any region or time. | ||

Maru, Stats, Serral = best players of their races. Serral = best player of 2018 by a small margin above Maru. inb4: "But he never played Maru!" "But he lost in WESG!" "But the grass is always greener on the other side!" Here's the deal: Serral won Blizzcon. Structurally, it's just another weekend tournament, stretched over 2 weeks. But it's f...ing Blizzcon. It was Maru's fault against sOs. Don't get me wrong, Maru is utterly amazing. But he didn't win Blizzcon. So long, thanks for all the fish. | ||

 .It’s great to see Serral win tho It was a bit irritating to still see many people doubt him after the various demonstrations of skill he gave us all year long The man is a mechanics monster He is like prime soO with more confidence and a better brain | ||

GOAT with only a year of results. The level of delusion of some Serral fans is interesting. | ||

GOAT Title is still between MVP and Innovation... but still, Serral is the best we have right now. And seeing how Maru played I doubt that he would've had any chance. | ||

It's hard to judge an hypothetic Maru vs Serral match but stylistically Serral should have quite an edge. | ||

Congratz Serral. Hopefully, Serral brings in more viewers and more players in the future. Serral is boring to watch. People are only excited because he's a foreigner. Plain and simple racism. Every top-korean from last 8 years could have done the same as him : win WCS without others koreans, win 1 Korea weekender and a Blizcon. (Rogue, Life, etc.). Versus Koreans not knowing his play-style. And a Blizcon with a very good group and drawing (ZvZ obv his best MU vs koreans ) The unique real way to assert his real level is playing multiple time in the best competition, the GSL. But ehhh free money thanks to race discrimination feels good and so he will stay in apartheid-closed WCS, i guess. | ||

Still Serral is best in the world right now and in terms of achievements he's probably up there with Dark, Rogue and Byun as top 4-7 LOTV players (probably the fourth greatest tbf but he's in the same league basically). I would say the greatest is Stats and the Innovation and Maru are like tied. Yes yes of course, the science is undeniable. 4 times 3 divided by the square root of doritos; it's so obvious people gawl! | ||

TY is very good @ TvT, but he has problems in the other matchups. But honestly, judging Maru is pretty hard, because his style negates the "normal" meta. sOs showed that Maru can be hard countered, but to do that you basically have to know Maru's builds inside out. Usually, Maru just breaks opponents with decisiveness and relentless aggression. | ||
