This is way too close of a call for Serral against TLO. TLO has him in terms of strategy. Serral is trying to power through with better execution.

Serral ain't no Dark


Fortunately for Serral!
Serral hasn't faced Protoss worth of his level this year except for Neeb(who beat him).

shame that PtitDrogo wasn't worth Serral's level and only won 2 games out of 5 :/


Do you think Drogo is at Serral's level? I hope you don't.
Serral struggling against him is a clear indication he is vulnerable in PvZ at the moment.


I think you are the level of people that you have close series against. Maybe that's just my delusion tho.


So I guess TaeJa was right at Serral's level at the end of 2018, brilliant.

They were in that specific series, at least in TvZ.


Ok, let's go on and say Meomaika is clearly a better player than Maru in TvZ(or least he must be close to) because he beat him 2-0.

You are at the same level of people who consistently play close series against you, not just a single one.

Taeja was winning/being consistent against Serral in macro games, in a bo5. He played extremely well, and Serral looked to be struggling against that style of terran (which he probably wasn't used to). Meomaika won in a short bo3 with meme builds that he prepared specifically to snipe Maru with.

You don't get (as much) credit for winning with build order wins. If Meo and Maru played as well as they did for 20 games, Maru probably wins the next 17. If Taeja and Serral played as well as they did for 20 more games, it would probably be pretty close. (Although if that happened practically Serral would end up dominating as he would likely improve his ZvT).

I'm usually one of the first people on here to discredit Taeja's wins, but in that series him and Serral absolutely played at a close level. Taeja was on fire and Serral's ZvT wasn't as mapped out as his other two matchups.


Every Zerg was struggling against Terran in that tournament and TaeJa "consistently" won two games in which Serral insisted to go for pre-buff Ultras; I guess Serral wouldn't have proceeded to sweep Bunny and win the finals against Inno if he were at TaeJa's level(coincidentally, he preferred GGlords).

It's hard to assess anything properly if you take single series in consideration, Solar beat TaeJa and Inno beat Solar convincingly, how could Serral struggle against TaeJa by this logic?

TaeJa played a great series against Serral and he was in a deceivingly good shape, but definitely not at the same level Serral was.

You can tell Serral isn't at his best by the fact he was chasing lings with corruptors and killed his own overlord in the process.

Well it was obvious, TLO's only chance to win the game was to completely crush Serrals army in one big fight, so he HAD to try to walk the spores to Serrals Base.
TLO had the worse air army and the worse ground army and Serral was already on his way to hive tech
Have a nice day!

Spines should have blink to make up for the fact that their burrow time is slower than making a mothership.

Ehm... no? They are buildings, not units. Otherwise one could say that flying Terran buildings should fit into Medivacs :D

At this point I'm honestly surprised not to see you chanting "Serral is washed up". Serral clearly isn't worth of Serral's level.
