i think he should have made more roaches, considering he was monitoring soo's drone count very closely so he should have had an idea of how strong the attack would be

unless you mean "why do people have bias for foreigners".

for me, there is a basis in the history of brood war and of starcraft 2. foreigners have always been underdogs, and I love rooting for underdogs

Serral isn't the underdog here.

"Neeb is the last foreigner hope and Stats is really really really good at the video game."

Sounds about right.

Now that Serral is gone, are we just gonna go back to 3-0 sweeps for this tournament. For whatever reason, Serral's existence in a game makes for entertaining, scrappy games.


he doesn't die to all ins and doesn't all in that much so it forces macro games most of the time. His play is not that entertaining (being super solid isn't fun to watch) but what he forces out of his opponent makes great games.
Zest fanboy.

ENCE losing in both SC2 and CSGO, Finland on suicide watch

Yeah totally. A ro8 finish by Serral and a semifinals spot by ence makes us want to kill ourselves as they're incredible disappointments.


celebrating a ro8 for serral. this is the new norm

I mean losing in a close ro8 series isn't quite as bad as getting knocked out in the group stage (like Maru for example). It was sure to happen at some point, what's more of a question is if he keeps on struggling now like Neeb did in 2018.


Is that an alt for that herwo guy who got repeatedly banned from the results thread for yesterday?

Pretty sure you're right.

Yeah best player usually has the most entertaining games. I remember in 2017, INnoVation had many of the best games and in 2018, Serral had many too. Dark and TY kind of play interesting macro styles so they also have a lot of really good games.

Because they've been the underdogs for 20 years.

sure but Serral hardly is an underdog anymore


Yeah, and look what I said earlier in this thread:

If Serral loses idk who to cheer for, I'd love to see soO, Solar or herO win and also like Stats.


I kinda want Serral to lose. I find predictability boring, and last year's Maru/Serral was only interesting in the promised confrontation at Blizzcon. Then Maru choked.

Never been in this position with regards to a foreigner though, so that's funny.

I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

Serral certainly isn't an underdog right now

i think it's pretty normal to continue cheering for the underdog that starts to have success, once you have established that kind of connection

Because he's a patch zerg, was winning at the 2nd half of the year and now he can't even get to the finals. Similarly to Rogue.

Someone should probably tell Serral this. Why didn't he just go straight for the roach warren at like 20 supply?

by that definition every korean was an underdog too at one point so there shouldn't be more people cheering for Serral

Always.

When he was at this greatest shape, his zvz was 80%.
He won his only premier event champion over Dark, which is also a consistent top-tier zerg.

After TY lost the stream lost about 6k viewers, so not even close.


And how many after serral lost? is the 12k figure factual?

Mainstream down from 50k to 38k +other language streams

has nothing to do with the break there's now

Now the break is over and its down to 35k

I think bigger problem will be. How they are going to get csgo crowd hyped? At least they know ENCE.

Shame that they aren't even earlier, I have to leave around noon. Well, I could let other people drive and watch, but I am not sure that would be a good opener to 5 days of social interaction with said people ...

well I guess not seeing herO protossing the shit out of soO isn't a bad thing
