ZG: On a scale from 1 to 10, how excited are you?
CatZ: Way more than 10... Like, 11.

I love CatZ.

Serral 3-1 methinks, but Clem could bring it.

Don't be ridicolous. Serral's accomplishments as for 2021 are pretty relevant, it's not a joke claim anymore as it was three years ago; notice that I am not saying he is the GOAT.

Confirmed that Thorzain is the real goat.

glorious series.

In all seriousness TY should win vs this PartinG


You know, if Clem or Zest can beat Serral, TY can probably get to the final fairly easily


Why is it so many people think TY has good TvP? It went downhill when he started playing BW and we haven't seen it back yet.

I don't know. But he has good TvPartinG and this should suffice to break the great wall of bullshit

He doesn't really have good TvPartinG (seriously check head to head PartinG had his number in every other year than 2020), it's just that his bullshit builds time out to hit faster than PartinG's bullshit builds.

It feels like TY workarounded his weakness to PartinG by hitting him faster with some hilarious proxy play

Serral's ZvP record(and his h2h vs Zest) says otherwise; even Clem has the upper hand on Zest, historically, but I'd agree to see Zest as favored against him.

I agree we haven't seen Serral's vP since the loss vs Trap and he's bound to have worked on the mu. Does Clem have a positive h2h vs Zest ? That surprises me. But if he qualifies, I really don't see any other result than a 3-0 for Zest, too much experience and muscles for Clem to handle atm (and the pressure of having won vs Serral in the previous round, I don't think he'd be able to deal with that ; we saw something similar in the group stage where he kinda crumbled under pressure and exhaustion after the fantastic start)

Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

You're the biggest Serral fanboy known to man, don't consider him to be the GOAT, but think it's not ridiculous to call him that?

Serral having solid accomplishments doesn't mean that "Serral is the GOAT" is no longer a joke claim.

He doesn't really have good TvPartinG (seriously check head to head PartinG had his number in every other year than 2020), it's just that his bullshit builds time out to hit faster than PartinG's bullshit builds.

yeah talking about this year where his bullshit skills have improved rather drastically. If he dances that kind of tango with PartinG (and if PartinG complies, but as I said before I'm pretty sure he'll keep that "Protoss artist" attitude) I'm pretty confident he wins again.

I mean it's not like TY has much time to prepare for PartinG. It's hours compared to the week+ of GSL. But I do agree that TY probably has better odds when the games go to shit as opposed to playing a normal game. On the upside TY hasn't lost a game on the Korean server in this tournament

TY definitely would have preferred Inno every day of the year.

oh ofc he'd rather have played INno, especially current INno. But he still has very fine chances to get another year finals ro4

Now I want to see Clem beat Serral in this series, just for the caster tears.

Goat discussion in the LR thread folks aye? Yesss

I swear to god... Are there any hellbat builds that are actually good? Serral almost got no notice there whatsoever and held without horrific losses.

The Serral goat discussion really depends on what you value, total lifetime achievement Serral is definitely still behind Maru, Inno, and Rogue but I also think he's had the highest peak of any player. If he wins another super major and some more big premier tournaments I'd consider him the GOAT, but not yet.

Trap's PvZ was by far the best in the world when he defeated Serral, even if Serral didn't work on it I'd see him favored over Zest. Clem is 17-12 in maps against Zest and won their last three encounters.
