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

Can we stop dissassembling every joke I make? There was the smiley for a reason, but since many people are so tight and cannot tell the joke

I ADDED THE EDIT...

Zest's run pretty sick this HSC. Slaying all the foreigners and now he's getting to the koreans

Severely impaired by internet issues.

That was such a limp attempt.

What about the Meta makes that shit valid? Lucky no adept scout? Lucky late air scout?

There are obvious tools to beat that type of attack.

Very Blah.

Elentos - You are a great resource.

He is also a tool sometimes, so that's even more universality right here!

but Serral didn't win yet, you know why? cuz TY is great at late game (and mid game), get it in your thick skull buddy.
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.

Get your thick skull tested, not mine, jeez

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

Remember when Neeb won a single lategame against Rogue and people didn't stop talking about it for ages? Even though he got smacked 2-0 in both followup matches right after.

Or maybe when Neeb won kespa cup and had something like a 16% winrate against koreans for a year after? People were still bringing up kespa cup the whole time.

Remember how hyped Scarlett was for making ro8 in GSL despite the fact she's had nine attempts and only one good run (where she basically cheesed every game iirc).

Remember when Serral won GSL vs The World, one of the weakest weekenders of the year, and was suddenly praised as the best player in the world when Maru was literally winning back-to-back GSLs? Or if you wanna go even further, Serral has won two relevant tournaments and is in the running for GOAT according to a lot of people.

Hell, people didn't stop talking about Showtime beating ByuN at blizzcon a few years ago. No one brings up the fact he's gone 0-17 against korean terrans since.

Point is, compare that with lower tier koreans, no one cares when Hurricane makes a deep GSL run or Bunny beats Maru in a bo3. Stats could have won GSL vs TW and blizzcon and would have had a fraction of the hype Serral did.

edit: to clarify, I'm not trying to downplay what those foreigners did, I'm just saying that it's easier for them to get praise and hype from the community.
