Dunno what the patch has to do with that. Anyhow, it was inevitable he would drop out early in a tournament someday. Hes not a robot after all. | ||

Serral went 1-2 in series, all ZvZ. Really disappointing performance, but he's Serral; he'll bounce back. Everyone has a bad showing every once in a while; it's natural. Don't blame Blizzard. | ||

Doesn't take 2, one is enough. Why would we believe he can take on Korean T and P now that losing to foreigner zergs is the rule not the exception? Probably was in Ence's office this week to discuss his salary cut. | ||

Your sample size of three series in just one tournament is way, way too low to assert that Serral will no longer be relevant across any high-level ZvX match-up. The Zergs, overall, have been performing reasonably well this tournament; Please explain how Serral has been uniquely "patched into irrelevance" when the other Zergs seem to be doing just fine. Why hasn't the patch applied to anyone else? | ||

Other players have playstyle ranges and nuances, the Idraesque mindset of ''I'll just defend and macro up and all will be fine'' is outdated and only works for broken races in broken metas.If you want an idea of how Serral will perform from now on you can look at his single second place at WCS foreigner welfare in 2017 to have a clear picture in your mind, since you obviously can't grasp what is happening here. | ||

I knew that Serral irremediably shattered your dreams of eternal korean domination over Sc2 and that you'll never recover from that. However, that's not a good reason to blindly hate and overtly lie like you have been doing in almost every post involving Serral you made recently. Serral reached his peak in the second half of 2018 when he(not the Zerg race, who went extinct in GSL in that period very much unlike a "broken race" you speak of should do) could comfortably win any lategame with his superior macro and multitasking and was impervious to any cheese due to his superior scouting; you should be glad that the meta shifted, and it's objectively good for Sc2 because Serral was just winning every series and every tournament when that was the case. Serral played more aggressively throughout 2019(making good use of nyduses, for example) and he still won the most titles out of any player last year. Now he has been experimenting with even more aggressive(and very dubious) builds, ending up losing ZvZ against players who are very good at it; I want to underline that koreans have not had the upper hand in the matchup in the last yead and half and, conversely, results suggest that, when evenly matched, foreigners seem to perform better. You deliberately forget that no player has been more consistent than Serral since 2018. To name a few, Rogue had very disappointing results in 2019 before the Code S season he won and that Innovation even failed to qualify for BlizzCon; not for one moment you doubted they still were top tier players and now you would want us to believe that Serral will be back to his pre godlike status after he lost 2-3 twice in three games? His last comparable early exit is dated October 2017, and two years and half are eons in Sc2. | ||
