Oh that would be nice, I do have to ask how did Hurricane of all people manage to have that record


by winning close to the end of the year, so it took a while for him to play again. Btw with this HSC serral also took the record of most defenses out of MMA, now he has 22 defenses to his name so far (potentially 23). Only needs to hang for 2 more months and he gets most time as champion (Rogue currently holds the record with 185 days total).

edit: hurricane had 8 defenses, I wasn't around but must assume he was having a good time at least


Rogue's record was not consecutive, so Serral would just have to regain it eventually; as someone previously pointed out, it would set the new record for consecutive holding(i guess at least up to 150 days).

Also, HSC would be Serral's tenth non-minor tournament in a single year(nine is already a record, but Neeb could tie it by winning Cheesadelphia, even if it would be only majors).

QLASH is an Italian team and Reynor just left Exeed. Reynor joining QLASH has always been just a matter of time in my eyes.

Once again, Bunny played better than Serral the entire game until 4 medivacs got caught and then the game became virtually unwinnable.


Just so we are clear, are you commenting on the quality of play from the two players and how it led to the outcome, or is this a balance complaint saying that Zerg is OP compared to Terran?

I think zvt is imba and at the same time Serral is much better than Bunny ;D, also catching the medivacs didnt really make much of a difference , Bunny failed to find any weaknesses at all.


You think it's imba in favor of Zerg? How do you account for soO, Rogue and Reynor losing so many matches to Terrans in this tournament? They all just had a bad tournament at the same time?

Of those 3 only Raynor was playing good inthe tourney. Rogue didn't even try and soO was still slumping hard. Reynor needs to learn how to play vs mines as he somehow missed this era or totally forgot Using Rogue especially is a pathetic try as he played horriblpy.

(not saying ZvT is imba, but on the other hand it would explain why so many good foreigner are zergs )


The player base for Zerg is relatively larger in EU/NA than in KR; implying than a korean is better than a foreigner nevertheless and that if a non korean wins it's because of op Zerg is frankly out of place in 2018.

In this HSC were invited most of the best Zerg players in the world while not actually the top Protoss or Terran; i was expecting a full Z top4 or something similar, instead we have seen an overabundance of Terran.
Only Serral is in the top8 and he is the best player in the world right now, how could it be? Sure, Zerg players may be underperforming but maybe the patch actually changed something? ASSUMING Zerg were op before, they definitely are not anymore; at least, it appears they aren't at the moment.




Oh FFS how many smileys do i have to use so people understand it's a joke...

Zergs in Korea are in slump, Dark's not there, Rogue is volatile and we lost some great names(eg Soulkey). At the same time Korean Terrans are actually good enough to use their racial advantage. We used to had plenty of good Zergs in Korea, in the blink era IIRC it was 50/50 ZP and 3 Terran


Given the average opinion here, smileys need to be properly answered.
If you exclude Life and Nestea, korean Zergs in sc2 have been slumping forever(except for HoTS era)! Despite Serral's victories this year, Zergs have the fewest Premier victories out of the three races(not by much, it's pretty close).

Okay now this is unexpected.



Still wondering about Reynor.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
