But Serral is the best in the world.
But not everyone can play the way he does. The way Dark plays is easier to knock off and find success with.
I'd like you guys to write out what you think "playing like serral" and "playing like dark" means so we can tell whether you're making meaningful statements or not

Every time he loses to Serral, Serral steals a portion of his soul.
Stats won their most recent match though, at Homestory Cup but I figured he wouldn't do that well here, he hasn't done shit in a while and got killed by a commentator (TY)

it's riskier than one might think, especially with the growing popularity of blink opening
stalkers can snipe marines and even tank(s) en route to the protoss base. at which point when the push finally arrives, the protoss player just warps in zealots and it's over because the bio was picked off
also, stalkers/colossi death ball will try to meet the tank push en route, so tanks will constantly be siege and unsieging slowing the push a lot and giving protoss time to prepare
One thing I'm happy about is that all the Protoss players have finally learned to leave gaps two wide in PvP main ramp wall-offs instead of one. There were always players who did it, but it seems like it took years for almost everyone to reach this point.

Scarlett flipped her own kill switch when she sent Brood Lords to fight undefended and Swarm Hosts on cooldown into Cure's base.
Maxing out on roaches against mass BC's is not a good idea. I've just accepted that Scarlett is never going to get past the Ro32 in GSL or the Ro16 in WCS ever again.

Didn't use the mutas in the last fight either until everything was dead, not that they would have done anything since it was already lost there because of mistakes like you mentioned.

Could've at least t a n k e d some damage, I guess
fuck me sideways those GSL first person streams are the best thing I have seen in my life. It's actual gameplay video capture too, not just observing in first person. I love it

It's not a Scarlett game if she doesn't a-move some spellcasters into their deaths.
This is new to me. Is it on the level of TY reverse-throw and Dear derp?
It's just a defence mechanism Scarlett's fans use to justify her losses. It's never being outplayed, it's always choking or throwing
that's the same thing though. if she fucks up and her opponent doesn't, they played better than her.
One of those doesn't imply that Scarlett was on her way to win flawlessly, before the choke.
nobody has ever played a completely perfect game of sc2. it's not possible. this is just splitting hairs. one player plays better than the other, chances are that player will win. so if Scarlett messes up and her opponent beats her because of that, she was outplayed.

I'm pretty Zest once won a PvZ without losing a single unit

Cure and Stats as expected, I'm just sad I somehow forgot the first liquibet(would have only got Special tho).
Scarlett should go to Kiev and perform now that she is out of Code S, BlizzCon is where she belongs.
Hurricane's ro4 is not the biggest overachievenent of all times in GSL, it's not even close(Sniper winning Code S and Inca reaching the finals come to my mind).
On a side note, people speaking of Serral in unrelated threads, unconceivable

I don't see how Scarlett belongs in blizzcon if she's playing like this. 0-4 vs 3rd tier Koreans. bad.

Yeah sadly the bottom two or three from circuit arent exactly the best and honestly ranks 9-12 are probably better options. Plus with the current standings Scarlett wouldnt have a very high chance at Blizzcon. She would be in a group with Classic, Stats, and Reynor.

Cure is playing very well atm and Hurricane's PvZ has been top tier these last months; not really third tier koreans. Scarlett ebbs and flows, she totally deserves BlizzCon when she is in a good her shape. She just has to focus on WCS and do well, she can get there!

Cure a-moved thors.
Thors are utterly broken in TvZ. They super tank everything zerg has and delete all zerg units.
They are so powerful that Beastyqt, a streamer, manhandled TLO in the late game by a-moving thors
imagine a pro losing to a streamer in the late game. thanks Blizzard!
Scarlett made huge errors like accidentally rallying investors to just die at a critical stage.
Plus overall strategic errors as well, that’s the second season in a row she’s gone out in a decider to a Terran with a game where mutas really didn’t pay off for her at all and seemed a questionable call even at the time.
She didn’t play terribly but not well enough vs these calibre of players, both Cure and Hurricane played better series on the day.
