I don't mind Serral winning, he'll need it to stay in 'Greatest of LOTV' contention, I just think that putting him on the level that he is in 2019 is just wrong and inaccurate, and he is not as good anymore, based on his results. | ||

So he's not likely to win. Serral has a very very good chance of winning, now that the only player that has a good record recently vs him is gone. | ||

Just because Rogue doesn't usually beat inno or Cure doesn't mean he can't. just like when Maru won vs Trap in Group stage, Trap usually beats Maru, and Maru won. | ||

Suddenly his trophy list is even more mediocre. If you are saying it's worthless because it's a group stage match that's very flawed when it easily could have been the difference between him starting in the losers bracket and winners bracket since he had not played Parting yet. Serral was already in, Rogue was already out. PartinG-Serral was going to decide what would have happened. | ||

We don't need an excuse because no one who's arguing against you is calling Serral bad or saying he has no chance to win this event. We are saying Rogues list of trophies is better and Serral has no place in a goat discussion. Serral is probably going to win this event is personally consider him the favorite especially with how hard cross server TvZ is. That doesn't make him equal to Rogue in terms of list of accomplishments. | ||

Assuming map score is the tiebreaker you are incorrect. If Serral beats Rogue and loses to Parting he is still in the winners bracket. The only way he gets to the losers bracket is by losing to both. | ||

Serral's claim to goatness in this short period and low amount of chances of titles vs Koreans has never been about trophy count, it has been simply by pure dominance in win%, whatever tournament he enters, he's the favourite. You don't need an excuse, but you give the pre-excuse of latency, nice. | ||

I don't remember you being that korea-centric or that fond of Rogue. Serral in 2020 is a "mere" top player and arguably #2 non korean, a position worse than the one he had in 2019 when he was basically a primus inter pares at the top of Sc2, which is in turn worse than being the unbeatable dominator of Starcraft that Serral was in 2018 after he rose. He still has better odds to win a tournaments against koreans than peak Neeb ever had and he might still be the favourite to win KoB in a very even scenario. | ||

Serral's career is better than Rogue's even if Rogue's average victory is considerably more prestigious. We'll never agree on that so feel free not to continue the discussion. I had to counterbalance your claim with my claim. | ||

Serral only played for 3 years full time so he can't be Greatest of all time, he can be greatest in LOTV, also you can't discount Rogue's career in PL, his individual resume may be bad in HOTS but he was a beast in PL | ||

Also I am a much older fan of SC2 than this account because I lost the password for my old account. I have always been an SKT (Rain) and MC fan (Protoss fan cuz I play Protoss) I also watch PL, GSL and SSL in terms of time zones because I am from China it was easier for me. In 2016 I became a Neeb fan but I am no means a foreigner-centric fan. | ||

Since 2017 Blizzcon we had 47 premiere tournaments out of which a zerg player won 31 of them. That 66 %, more than other two races combined. And it's more than other two races combined even if you remove Serral (19 > 16). So what's your excuse that all the talent is accumulated in zergs in the last 3 years? Like we had 6 WC and all have been won by a zerg. Serral makes 38 % of zerg victories, while Maru makes 66 % of the Terran. So funny things start to happen when you want to remove statistical anomalies(e.g. Serral), because then you have to remove Maru and Terrans crumble more than Protoss. It\s not the Flash level of dominance of 1 player as was just shown by removing Serral from the results and the zerg dominance still continues. And no, it\s not reynor either as he has the same amount of victories as Rogue and way less important titles. So, how about that? Is that a good one? edit> statistically speaking if this tournament isn't won by a zerg and having a non zerg finals would be anomally. If this is won by a zerg, be it Serral or Rogue - it's the thing to be expected based purely on them numbers. It appears zergs are just better edit 2> the non-zerg finals refers to the fact that we had 47 finals, 94 players in the finals and 49 of them were zergs. This means that 52 % of finalists were zergs. Again, more than other two races combined, but not by a large margin. | ||

But considering Terrans we still have the best players and we got Clem, so we have now more good terrans and yet it's 9 victories over 3 years/47 tournaments and 8 second places. And everybody is still surprised when a Zerg wins  | ||
