Y'a but for Serral it seems like a very very slow but steady decline in the last two and a half year.

A very slow decline which became a free fall after that reverse sweep against Trap.


His practise games seem really good accorting to both his mmr and the echo from other top players (denver, marinelord praised him lately) but on tournament he seems clearly past his prime.
This is more like 2017 Serral.

Pretty cool Stasis Trap again.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

I've really enjoyed watching Trap's Stasis Traps today :D.

Well, until 2020 Serral didn't really start declining imho; there were tournaments he didn't play at the absurd standard of his golden age in 2018(but even then there were less brilliant ones like Montreal); he lost clutchness for sure in 2019, Serral lost pretty much every important tournament in the last map of very hard fought series and he also suffered from Reynor's growth. Post pandemic Serral wasn't the same, mostly developing a weakness in ZvZ.

Those last results in June seem to indicate he's dropped even below that but I still wouldn't say he's back at what he was in 2017, I'd say he's maybe more like pre ascension in 2018.

I can't say for sure but I have hope that Serral will be back to winning tournaments, even if his career is already extremely impressive and successful and we could still be satisfied if it ended tomorrow.

Dark was just too late to make infestors for microbial shrouds. I think Rogue has used the microbial queen walk successfully against Stats last time in Katowice.

Serral started declining when Zerg was nerfed from its overpowered state. That's the part fanboys like you will never admit.

Serral hasn't been invincible since the Infestor, the Queen and Creep was nerfed.

Reynor however is getting better and better proving that Zerg is not over nerfed too. It's only Serral specifically that has noticeably declined since those nerfs.

Does serral have any issues with his wrists or something? Seeing this decline is kinda sad
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

He keeps proping up this ''ZvZ weakness'' bullshit when things went south for Serral as soon as Zerg wasn't massively favored in non mirrors. Even the periods where he admits the decline line up perfectly with balance changes that hurt Zerg.
