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. No one is forcing Serral, it's just an argument about him being the best and avoiding the best competition. It's easier for him? It is. Is he avoiding Korea? He is. Is that something bad? It's not, it's his free decision. But somehow his fans are super salty when anybody mentions this  I wonder why.

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.
There is no way to say objectively which one had more impressive year. I think Serral deserved the player of the year award because he won GSL vs. the world and Blizzcon. Also using an argument that depends on a person not being able to imagine something is quite questionable  Let's not mince words here. Serral won the "player of the year award" (who even gave that site the right to decide anything) because he was the first non-Korean to win a top tier tournament in a game that has been dominated by Koreans over the last 20 years. He won because of his ethnic origin. If he was a Korean player that award would have gone to a different player playing a different game. On one hand, I get that and I can even appreciate it. On the other hand, Blizzard has been manipulating the system in their game to make it easier and easier for this result to happen. I'm not OK with that. It diminishes the accomplishments of top tier foreigners like Stephano and it inflates the results of people that are legitimately awesome like Serral. I want this shit fair, and I want Serral to win fair and square. I want more tournaments like IEM and fewer like WCS and Blizzcon. You are clueless if you think Serral was crowned best player in the world only because he is not korean; I would actually say it's more impressive as people here value Code S so immensely and he didn't get to play them. People used to value Code S highly here. Since the Serral hype Code S is often completely dismissed because it doesn't fit the narrative that Serral was by far the best and most dominating player of the year. Code S still is way superior to WCS but you guys all seem to think it's slightly better than a Major; the achievement argument can't be solved just because of that. Serral may very well be weaker against Terran but wasn't Maru very vulnerable to Protoss? It's not like every single tournament there are the best possible pairings, upsets happened to everyone but Serral. He won and that's all that's counts. Maru had beaten several good Protoss players(and Zest ) to: 1) Achieve Code S title 2) To get to the Code S finals C'mon. You need to get better, because Serral magically avoided Maru and TY the whole 2018. And he lost against Classic, Stats and sOs to get out of every single weekender during the year.Inno didn't defeat himself at HSC. So, in your opinion, every single player who won a tournament without facing the supposedly best player in the world in that moment didn't really earn his titles? I think you forgot about one weekender :O That weekender doesnt exist for Serral fanboys
I mentioned the one he won multiple times before -.-
If anything, I forgot one that he lost against Zerg.

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. He wouldn't have won GSL II or III because he lost in March? No, because he's bad against Kroean Terrans. So bad he won against Maru, Inno, Bunny, Taeja, Bunny, Inno and Gumiho before losing today.
The 2 best Korean Terrans were Maru and TY. He didn't play a BO3 or longer series offline against them in 2018 except the loss against Maru. Deal with it. Oh noez, he won against slumping Innovation, Taeja, who's a shadow of his former himself(similarly to Inno), he beat Bunny who's the bestest Korean Terran everest and wona BO1 against Maru. YAY. So banjo.
Try more, he lost even to bad Innovation today. That's how good he is.

Why does uThermal not have a fourth coming? He's putting himself into having to do damage.

I've heard marvelous stories about how cheap beer is in eastern EU.
Cheers. I'm sipping some Mexican beer right now myself.

You are the one who has to deal with the fact Serral won all the tournaments he played since April last year.
He dropped a series against Inno after ten months being undefeated and advanced as first in his "group of death". That's how good he is.

I'm fine with that, he didn't win a single Code S title while Maru won 3 in a row. Deal with it. I don't care about foreigner tournaments as long as WCS will be racist.
