let's start another Serral tilt discussion

Sure! He tilted and gg'ed out of a winnable game. He was behind, but it was not over.

he really did
casters are justifying it but it really wasn't justified. he pretty much just gave up because he thought he was way more behind than he was. they talk about him not having drones but didnt he have more workers?

So Serral had 7 more drones but you have to look at the infrastructure. Serral only had a roach warren, no bane nest, still on hatch tec. He saw Time had combat shields, stim, medivacs and a 3rd CC. So its not like he can drone up massively as he was about about to be dropped by 16 stim+combat marines so he needed to make roaches to defend.

And then Time was even busy getting his 1-1 up, dunno if Serral knew about that. So all in all, the game really was over.

I stand by it, I have seen players come back from worse positions

Yes I have seen players throw insane games as well in all my years of watching. But as a Serral you are not going to stay in every game untill you have 5 supply left. The game was 95% over, so Serral just wanted to go to the next game. Barely any pro leaves when the game is 99.9% over.

I remember a WCS game in which Serral came back from a 80 supply deficit against HM, it was nearly unwinnable.
Serral is less clutch this year and evidently more prone to tilting and early gging; while it's bad for him, it may be good for Sc2.
I hope he finds his best shape in time for Katowice, by the way.

Nah, I feel like Reynor really created a dent in Serral's mental strength this year and that shows across the board with a lot of uncharacteristic mistakes, weird build orders, tilts and miscalculations. I do believe, that getting back to offline environment will make things look different, one way or another.

it might be this, but it might also just be stagnation. when someone hits the top, it can be tough to stay motivated to continue to find edges.. particularly in a mental game. it's easier to climb than to stay on top I guess, because those above you push you forward. just my take on it.

That's what separates the boys from bonjwas like Flash and Magnus Carlsen...

I think even if he played cleaner, he lost the build order fights so hard he would have lost anyway

Well not exactly, if he were a TL.net korean fanboy he'd have proclaimed himself a fraud and that koreans have been playing blindsided at 5 AM with 900 ping after not having touched the game for weeks.

Watching Neeb go skytoss against Serral every game might be fun--depends on if Serral is willing to deal with the headache of the lategame that all the Zergs are complaining about, or if he just kills Neeb with timings.
