Terran doesn't win against Serral, but it doesn't look nearly as hopeless when they lose. We've just seen HeroMarine vs Serral followed by Neeb vs Serral. It isn't just that Gabe came close to winning all three of the games, it's that you could point out what he needed to do to win. For Neeb, it just looked hopeless from start to finish. IIRC Serral wasn't at his usual level vs Stats last time. If they played a best of 9 right now I'd expect Serral to win 5-0. | ||

Usually shaking hands is seen a sign of respect toward the opponent, in western culture; what's your problem with it? | ||

It's probably both, but I still think he'd be way better if he had the build order prowess of Classic or the mechanical skill/cheesyness of herO. | ||

In traditional sports the loser offfers to shake the winners hand. The winner doesn't force themself upon the loser to get the obligatory handshake everyone wants to see like in SC2. | ||

For example proving to everyone that herO never scouted his main in PvP. Or the entire final vs Jaedong. Or the final vs MKP. Or blizzcon ro8 vs Maru's proxyrax. sOs didn't invent any of those builds iirc, but he knew when to use them to get easy wins. | ||

Most likely the latter, he's just not the cheese type. This is reflected in other aspects of his play as well, for example I don't really agree his mechanic skill is inferior to that of herO but it looks that way because he's much more conservative when it comes to micro/engagements so you don't see flashy moves from him as often as you will do from the likes of herO or PartinG. | ||

Like rewatch the game, if this would have been posted in the cheater thread on this forum many people would be blaming sOs of hacks  That's what happens when you practice most of the year with the same partner | ||

In football its always the winners who come to cheer up the players of the losing team, picking them up from the ground, offering handshakes. The same is in boxing, tennis (here its maybe more even), or basically any other sport where 2 or more professionals who respect each other are battling it out. Its good sportsmanship, and also basic psychology. The winner is happy, the loser is sad. The winner comes offering comfort and sign of respect to the opponent, transferring some of that positive feelings and cheering him up a bit. Its a great tradition  | ||

Its a great tradition Yeah, we saw so many cheering and offering the comfort these days. Usually they just shake hands and go away. In such way it should follow the standard of a loser offering the handshake. | ||
