That Serral vs Innovation is bothering me. At no point Serral was winning the game. He was just sitting around when he could have killed several time Innovation bases. Well Serral already played 4 game prior to the match vs innovation. I think the games where pretty demanding while innovation on the other hand didn't put that much energy into them. Maybe that's an explanation. ? thats a ridiculous explanation As rational as Maru not caring about tournaments that are not GSL 
no thats an idiotic argument as well, care to make some more?

Not WESG. TY might not even get to play against Serral at IEM, Serral is favoured against anyone who isn't TY, and I think a strong case can be made that he's favored against TY in BO5+.

Scarlett v TY completely crazy game

Just want to point out that that is a subjective opinion. Winning GSL is impressive but the current format also gives the title holder a free pass to the quarterfinals.

You are literally super deluded. There has never been such a huge streak even if you exclude all the foreigners!
He didn't win four? Are you drunk? Your facts aren't even facts...

And the current WCS format gives foreigners 8 free passes to Blizzcon. Your point?
I'm against both formats. The fact that the tournaments are encouraging incumbency as much as they are is anti-competition.
That said, GSL is way more fair and competitive than WCS could ever hope to be.

Maru "only" won 3 straight. But indeed it's more impressive, I didn't think it was possible. I knew however that winning GSL vs the world and BlizzCon was possible. Or winning 4 WCS In a row, Neeb almost did it.

that was very different... gumi won with unscouted BCs cause serral was bad at scouting. here serral lost in a straight up late game getting picked apart. hope he gets to play against TY in a game that is not inconsequential.
he insisted many times that he doesn't like the streak narrative, so there was not much for him to win in this game. it was smarter for him to make use of the chance of playing innovation to get his game better for later stages, but at the same time he definitely got outplayed, so only serral knows what was on his mind. but i wouldn't draw conclusions that he can't play late game zvt

He won 3 in a row and 4 overall, oh boy big deal! it's still way more impressive than Serral's WCS streak or Blizzcon win.
