Serral's fanbois are best.

But that is only because our Dear Serral is the best, so we fanbois doesn't have to feel bad for false esteem.

Real question is more like how dominant Serral actually is, currently, and in foreseeable future.

It almost feel he is already building spires under Koreans' skins, lol, the nerdiest guy of the scene.

I think it can be also traced to the utter lack of NightEnd

I have rooted for every top non-korean zerg for almost 20 years (and every big zerg since h.o.t-forever period).

Serral just being one of the best is enough for me. From Blackman and Mondragon ... on and on until now.... we finally have one.

It is pretty dope.

If TY was a lesser Terran Serral would've killed him already, what does that tell you about TY's Macro and late game?

Oh FFS, it's just a matter of time, the only way how to lose is to do some move command and die to stupidity.

You're so obsessed with hating on serral. I never even mentioned serral. You think I did because you love debating about him in every single thread.

I just said that saying TY is not known for late game is really dumb

Jesus fucking christ, multiple times I mentioned he's top 4, he's probably the best zerg but hey, I'm the hater here. Stop being a blind fanboy and read what I write, not what YOU THINK I WRITE...


You and Char and Xainon literally mess up every single thread talking about Serral. Even random threads that have nothing to do with it.
Case in point: I didn't mention serral once and you think I did and started the debate.

Let me be more nuanced: you don't hate serral. you are addicted to debating serral fanboys to the extreme.


Every time I point out he MIGHT be the best zerg in all matchups ... they come out of the woodwork.

Sc2 culture is so much worse then the bw scene was. I can't tell if it is age or just part and parcel of the whole internet getting stupider. These forums often barely differ from USEast.

... the public chat on west is actually worse then east. Dark times.


Well, not speaking about Serral when Serral is playing a ZvT. I rarely introduce the argument, but I almost always speak when senseless things are said(quite often).


I think the debate about best zerg is valid. I think many members on this forum have great perspective in both directions.

Obviously, I am not talking about people who have valid commentary, having veteran sc2 players/members disagree with me is great, obviously they have valid reasons for disagreeing with me. I am totally fine with being wrong and learning why.

It is the bandwagon of rage that shows up whenever he is mentioned.

Is korean-0-phile a thing? Korean-centric? Dick riders?
Not sure, but their is an anti-fan element that I lack good language to describe.

If TRUE would have won what Serral did and played just like he does, WCS titles would still be compared to Olimoleagues but the atmosphere would be much more relaxed like it happens in Brood War forums and how it used to be during HoTS(my answer to what Opisska is saying).


I wonder why that might be... Maybe because TRUE doesn't have as fanatic fanboys as Serral?

In terms of attention from the community, foreigners have to do half as much as koreans to get hype. Probably less than half actually. They can literally win one big match/event and the community will take years to stop talking about it. Even if 9/10 times they lose.

imagine saying that without sarcasm

You might be true about the hype(and do you really wonder why when Starcraft has been totally dominated by koreans for more than a decade?), but on the other hand the non koreans who proved himself multiple times are still regarded as somehow inferior even when they shouldn't be.

Also, Chairo&co were hating on Serral before I even decided to make an account on Team Liquid; you hate fanboys? I hate extremists.

First of all many agreed that he had very easy path and the second think - I thought It was 15 months ago

Edit> But anyway, doesn't change the fact he's Zest and he can dominate if he wants, but it mostly looks like he doesn't want to. It's not just his macro, getting WP killed by biles is just a sloppy play which wouldn't happen to Zest we know from years ago

Shockingly September was not 15 months ago. And neither is June which was when he played his last GSL final.

He's been fighting his way through the whole lower bracket. If he makes the finals he will also have defeated soO and TY. There's really nothing easy about that.
