Just wait until Serral has to play Ragnarok. The mere mentioning of the old norse name for the armageddon will invoke deep rooted fears in Serral and see him crumble in terror in the face of the new Korean super zerg

I don't remember anyone feeling as dominant as he is.
He. Compared. The. Dominations.
Flash was dominating the hardest competition there is. Serral is occassionally dominating Korean players and is dominating the weaker competition. Don't argue about different games. He can be compared to FC Barcelona football domination which isn't even the same field.

Zest always had this PvZ shackiness, Life had some huge ups but no real consistency.
Inno early 2013 is comparable but he didn't have the same string of results (tilting and losing vs SK is something Serral has not done yet). Mvp 2011 was quite godlike but still not the same consistency.
What's the last boX lost by serral against a kr player (not even counting foreigner). Only disappointing loss in like a year is the 2-0 vs soO at NW.
And i'm a huge kr fanboy but he looks so much better than his opponent in most of his games it's unreal.

Are we just casually forgetting Maru winning 3 Code S's in a row? If we're talking about dominance then what Maru did in 2018 was almost completely unheard of in the history of Starcraft 2 (if we forget about Mvp 2011-2012 for a second).

Zest has a point in 2014 but none of them seems to be so consistant (well, if serral loses it, I might reconsider this statement) even if the first 3 played in a more competitive area/region hence why Life will always be the number 1 zerg and even sc2 player for me.

The last time he lost against a Korean player was in March 2018, almost a year. It is a smart decision not to play GSL financially wise.

problem is that Maru lost every other tournament in the meanwhile :/ but yes 3 code S in a row is crazy and what he did to the korean scene was incredible.

What's his last game against a good Terran who was in form? Inno out of form doens't count. His weakness is TvZ but he has bracket luck for this. The last blizzcon - his biggest enemies were TY and Maru and he didn't play any of those. Inno still looks out of shape, Gumi is Gumi and Maru fucked up. Therefore we can hope for Stats or TY to be in shape.
