I think serral was the best player in the tournament for sure, but if definitely doesnt sit well with me that some of the games were won by shitting creep tumors in the entire map for the first 10 minutes while the terran played TvCreep and nothing else happened.


That's just the nature of vs Zerg, creep control is incredibly important.

Some of the game he lost were against some smart yet ridicolous 3rax proxy, does it seem any better to you?

Not money, as GSL pays more than WCS.
Not practice, as the best Terran and Protoss are in Korea and with this patch being harder for Zerg it would be a legit smart move to go there to train.


I think the main thing is possibly happiness? The main difference between the ease of competing in gsl vs wcs has always been that you need to go live in Korea to compete in gsl, which is not necessarily the best life choice for a young man who doesn't speak the language. He's already the best in the world, so I think it could be argued that uprooting his way of life (which is working for him) for unofficial posterity might not be his best option.

That's a pretty fair point, not everyone could adapt to this lifestyle.
However, ar as i know, he went to Korea already and didn't really mind the experience. He mentioned he would have liked to go there again to practice for a few months and possibly to play in GSL in 2019; he understandably excluded moving to Korea permanently.

It was amazing, a Premier like tournament incredibly well organized! Thank you!

If i can say something, there were so many great games going on it was a pity some of these weren't streamed.

How about we don't call Serral bonjwa but a new title given its an unheard of extremely impressive winning steak (as far as I can remember)

He is definitely the world's best player for pretty much the whole year

He's POY (Player Of the Year). It would be cool if there was an award like this that players would vote on, along with a Hall of Fame.

before GSL vs the world not even the biggest Serral fanboys called him the best player in the world. He's of course the best now but we don't have to forget everything that's happened in the first half of the year due to recency bias.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

There's been a lot of creep complaints this thread. Wasn't creep nerfed in the patch?

Yes, but some terran players don't think it has be nerfed sufficiently (i.e removed from the game).

just by looking at how much Korean pros mentioned Serral as someone to beat, I hope people would at least pay more respect on Serral's status on starcraft 2 right now
oh please ignore Dark's comment because he is too salty... lol

about GSL, Serral would most likely understandably falter... GSL required more resilience.. it's a long-running tournament with great amount of preparation...
If Serral could not live comfortably in Korea, he would lose his motivation at mid-way

so winning GSL is not a necessity for Serral to be called the best player in the world right now (or even in LoTV so far)

Serral imho is well suited for a GSL kind of tournament and for living in Korea! He doesn't need it but it would be the ice on the cake and i'm fairly sure it is what he wants.

Going back to the finals, i forgot to mention he went for Broodlords in game 7 and they looked way better than Ultralisks.
