rock solid compared to Zest PvZ xD

I thought Serral was completely dead, he's still behind but really feel like Solar should've just killed him.

Nodoby ever won as many premier tournaments as he did in addiction to very good placements in the ones he didn't win, earned as much money and had a better streak in one year of Sc2; Serral's ZvT "weakness"? Lost one game against Maru at his peak while he still wasn't?

If I remember correctly it was more about pvt shackiness, after the nerf of the msc vision, he looked fragile in the mu while only 2014 soO and prime Life seemed to be able to beat him.
As for serral zvt, I found it very good at hsc despite some flaws, I don't think he is that much better in zvp.

Terran wasn't weak early 2018 tbh. Late 2018 on the other hand...
Really looking forward to Serral vs Gumi & Inno, we'll know a lot more about his ZvT chances.

FFS even he admitted this last year he doesn't have good practice partners for ZvT and they have to archon the Terran. Don't be such a fanboy.

Problem is you cant judge his ZvT since he didnt have to play against the very best terrans ( TY and Maru ) in a big tournament except when he lost, unlike his ZvP ( Stats twice ) , and ZvZ ( Rogue Blizzcon ).

Yes but I think it's really unfortunate we didn't get to see him play more ZvT when he was that dominant. I think he had the mechanics skills to be great in it but he didn't face enough top terrans to be as proficient as Dark/Rogue in the MU during WESG. They showed ravens terrans were not that unbeatable whereas he was a bit clueless, then the match-up became Z favored afterwards (bar 2rax shenanigans) and we didn't even get to see him play good terrans in that setup.
Anyways it's unbelievable considering sc2 history that we are even arguing on a foreigner being the best in the world, things have changed.

It's his worst matchup, and he didn't have to play the best T in official tournaments once he rose to dominance as well. He 3-0d Inno and beat Maru at GSL vs the World; he won HSC essentially against T while never losing a single series.
If that is weakness...
