Explain to me, how its easier. Really.

Take months/years having a visa (ok sorry can't stay out of it)


okay but for GSL you have to live there for months..

You have to live there for at most 3 months. TRUE and Ragnarok's visa processes went over 9 months.


I don't think you guys get the point. You think it's easy for most people to leave their family and move to a foreign country where they don't speak the language for months at a time?

As opposed to... flying to a tournament for a weekend or a week?


And yet pro athletes do it every year.

If Blizzard really cared about making their game actually as competitive as it should be, they would make this happen, they would offer Serral enough to make it happen.

At this point Serral is guaranteed a massive check from Blizzard every year anyway, why not make it official and get him to play where he's actually going to be challenged because lord knows that isn't gonna happen in WCS.


Dude

1. very little percentage of pro-athletes do it
2. those who do it - it was their dream from the moment they picked up their sport
3. those athletes that come to a different country to work - they really get a very good contract with sweet living conditions. You can google this.
4. Some of those athletes then go back home literally to repair their well being.
5. Its good for you to start saying that its Blizzard (or any other organization for what its worth) give it a try.
6. If i was Serral i woulnd't even consider GSL if i wasnt treated as a rock start on tour. Seriously. But im not Serral so let's see what happens.

and yet Scarlett, Special, Neeb, Elazer, Ptitdrogo, SortOf and even 16 year old Reynor did it.


Perfect. Ask them if they were "forced" to do it, or it was their dream/intention to do it.

??? why would they be "forced" to do it?


well a couple of dudes here are asking Serral to pack his bags and go live in Korea. This is really strange isn't it?
Also they are asking him not to participate in high-dollar events where Maru loses before meeting him. So it really becomes a very hard environment to operate lol. Some crazy things happening!

Somewhere, Serral is completely unaware of the raging debates between his fanatical fans and the koreaboos. One day, someone will tell him and a small, toothless smile would cross his lips, and he would say "what memers", before immediately forgetting and going on to win another tournament.

so if my calculations are correct
Ro 12 should be:

Zest vs the 3rd place of Group D
Neeb vs Ragnarok
herO vs the 2nd place of Group D
Trap vs Solar

Ro8 should be:

Winner of Zest vs the 3rd place of Group D vs Dark
Winenr of Neeb vs Ragnarok vs first place of Group D (probably TY)
Winner of herO vs the 2nd place of Group D vs Serral
Winner of Trap vs Solar vs Stats
Faker is the GOAT!

With his GSL vs the World or Blizzcon's level, he would have won it. His streak would have probably been less impressive tho

He probably would have won it

Nope, very unlikely with Maru playing there


maru lost to serral at gsl vs world, so i don't think it would have been very unlikely


No he lost to stats. They didn’t face each other .

He was talking about the bo1 team competition

Serral lost to Maru 0:3 in the only offline BO3+ game they played the last year. Thus proving that Serral wouldn't have won. He lost to slumping Innovation today to prove this. Q.E.D.


That's frankly ridicolous, shape isn't constant throughout the year. It doesn't prove anything other than Maru being stronger than Serral at WESG.

It's not. Serral wouldn't have won Code S because of his weakness. Let's see how his ZvT improves in this tournament.

You're naive if you don't think that athletes especially in the era of social media are not very aware of what people are saying about them.

Serral has liked at least 4 of my tweets about him from last year's IEM. I know for a fact he hears what people say about him.

As you obviously missed my reply, nobody is asking him or forcing him. All we say - it's easier for him to do so as Blizzard forces less rules on him. And as was pointed out, he can fly there, play games, fly home. Koreans can't do this.

Agreed - shape isn't constant. So all we know is that Serral was the best at the time GSL vs the World and Blizzcon was happening but no idea how good he was at the rest of the year. Thus we have no idea how he would've performed in GSL.

Yeah he was in it for a long time both games but then he was down 50+ supply for a total of like 15 minutes across games.

He lost 20 SCVs in the early game. I don't think he really believed he could win the game from that point by focusing on getting to 70 workers.
