After not losing for one entire year he gets defeated having already advanced first in his group; I don't think he's clueless in lategame ZvT but he looked like and lost deservingly, he would lose again by playing so passively. Before being worried I'd wait for Serral to actually lose a tournament worthy series, he's very quick to adapt and he will be playing bo5+ from now on. | ||

No way on earth Maru's kill streak was better, Serral's win streak korean was bigger and more impressive even considering koreans only. IIRC it was 16-0 before today which makes it 20-0 before losing, compared to Maru's 16-1. Think whatever you like, Serral still advanced first in the so-called group of Death today. The unusual thing is usually not losing series, not the opposite. People won tournaments in the past by advancing third in their groups and now a single 1-2 causes all this fuss? | ||

I am surprised that neither he nor Gumiho did. We're down to TY and Bunny to give us ANY terrans in the Ro8. I was not expecting that at all before the group stage started and it's really upsetting. | ||

I dont give a single shit about the fact that Innovation beat Serral today. In fact I'm here arguing that Serral's streak is blown completely out of proportion because a majority of it was regionlocked. We've seen tremendous kill streaks throughout SC2's history. Serral's isn't special, it's only special because he's a foreigner, and when you start taking those special considerations into perspective there are other factors like regionlocking that need to be considered also. Also, 4 straight GSL championships is WAY more impressive than anything Serral has done so far. That is a fact. | ||
