On a side note, after 2018 Serral has lost all 3 of the Premier finals where he was forced to play to the last map and has been eliminated 11 times from tournaments this way; it seems that he has developed kind of an issue with decider maps. | ||

On the other Hand sad to See even serral All inning every game vs this strat cause He thinks its unbeatable lategame. Still grats to trap really nice guy!! I don‘t even think its about the composition beeing unbeatable, but which sane player wants to turtle on spore/viper for 30 minutes until you maybe manage to abduct enough to be somewhat costefficent, because you will always loose a direct engagement? The design is just bad and always has been. Nobody wants to play spore/turret against it. | ||

It feels like he can train himself up to an unbeatable level in any matchup, but he can't maintain that level in a universal sense. Clearly one of the best players in the world under any circumstance. I would consider TY the world's best player, despite his having been roundly beaten by Serral this weekend, but Serral remains a certain favorite at Katowice. | ||

At any given moment, he seems like the world's best player in certain matchups, but vulnerable in others. For a time, he felt unbeatable other than by Reynor in ZvZ. Then, he lost series to Cure, Inno, ByuN, Clem, and Maru. Recently, he looks unbeatable in ZvT, but has also lost in ZvZ to Dark and Solar, and in ZvP to ShoWTimE and Trap.

I would consider TY the world's best player, despite his having been roundly beaten by Serral this weekend, but Serral remains a certain favorite at Katowice. Trap’s got to be up there now surely. He seems to have undergone Serral’s journey only in reverse. Top tier PvT, decent if not outstanding PvP and a PvZ that was a real bad weakness to have considering who he was having to face. He’s kept the stellar PvT, his PvP is better and his PvZ is close to the best around (although I think the world’s best ZvPers are better still). GSL TY is on another level to weekender TY, although he’s still obviously good even in his weaker form. Agreed on Serral, he’s still a monster but not quite as scary as a while ago where it seemed he was equally fearsome across all matchups. | ||
