Also, 4 straight GSL championships is WAY more impressive than anything Serral has done so far. That is a fact. And then gets 2-3'd of the tournament
Well so far it's the best terran result we got :o whereas Dark 4-1 8-3 beats Serral 4-1 9-5

Back to group C.
I thought Serral and Rogue is going to advance. Gumohi maybe the third. WTF happend? How did Ragnarok do so well?

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. At least, we know his weakness. lol wouldn't bank on that based on this game.. Two actually which lasted 40 minutes, he had the time to make adjustements.
by game i meant the bo3. after 1-0, serral was guaranteed to be in ro8

Thank you! not even Mvp was ever able to sweep an entire year's worth of seasons. No one ever has. What Maru did last year was unprecedented in SC2 and he did it at the highest level in a tournament that wasn't locked to anyone.
Serral can't claim that. He's a super skilled player whose legacy has been inflated thanks to the dumb system that WCS is using. I hate it, and I will not shut up about it until it changes.

Na, we just ignored him.

Maru definitely still has a more impressive career than Serral overall (once you factor in SSL and OSL), but to argue that Maru is a better player at this point in time is super questionable...

Stats, Serral, and Dark all in the Round of 8. That's pretty sick.

You thought it was possible for a Starcraft player to never drop one series and to win every tournament he entered during the span of more than ten month?
Maru has been around for nine years, that fourth is OSL that he definitely didn't win last year.

Considering he participated in 2 real tournaments in this time span - Yes, I knew this is possible
