I mean, that's probably the smart move.

i stopped watching SC2 before Serral became truly relevant and only came back like a couple months ago. it was surreal to find out he randomly became the most dominant player in the world. i went back and watched the Blizzcon finals and that was some impressive play for sure.

other than that his only games i've seen have been these WCS groups, where he's certainly looked like a top EU player, but it's kinda hard to truly gauge someone's level when they're facing competition that is good, but not top of the world good. in this match i've been seeing a rather competitive match with Verdi, which is kind of what i would have expected from what i had known about Serral before returning.

obviously a couple games in an online tournament mean anything at all compared to the domination Serral has presented the world with over the last couple years or so. just ramblings from a kind of outside perspective.

Just tuned in, hows Serral looking so far? Like the demigod at Blizzcon? Or like someone who came just from vacation?

Almost 28k on the mainstream when Serral is playing

I personally much prefer a Serral vs korean Blizzcon final again =)

I meant at the end of WCS Winter, they have a good shot of being the champ of their respective region, they should do a final bo7 between the two winner just for fun.

Have any of those types of showmatches ever been good though?

Serral is disappointed in his play, we can confirmed everything is back to normal

This looks like it's going to be the longest day so far... many 2-1s in Europe and now pretty long games in Americas so far.

Astrea is doing really well tbh.

The upgrade difference was enough to make Zealots essentially bulletproof.

Time choked this game

Yea choked on Astrea's massive IQ.

I don't know...not getting storm was definitely a major mistake. Astrea came up on top, but it was scrappy

Astrea didn't get storm as a power play to show he could win without it so TIME lost all hope before game 2.
