It's hard to imagine anyone else coming out with as many surprise builds | ||

Probably how Trap played seems to be the best approach Stylistically, if not talking pure raw skill (although he had plenty) Trap probably had the best playstyle for the race by adapting to his shape and the meta. When his PvT was at its peak, which was damn good indeed he’d play straight up games a lot, but mix in some non-committal or committal aggression. He tried and failed to replicate that in PvZ and basically rebuilt it to be focused around crisp timing attacks, and made hay in the year where he was winning tournies and taking out even the likes of Serral in extended series. He didn’t really have a ‘style’ like a herO and Stats clearly do, at opposite ends of the aggressive/defensive spectrum | ||

Although Serral hasn't lost to Dark offline in 7 years, and that was before he was even a full-time player. As much as I love Dark I think he's cooked if he matches Serral. Dark struggles against Reynor, and Serral has either 3-0 or 4-0'd Reynor almost every time they've met for the last year. The skill difference between them isn't even close. | ||

Eh, I don't think it's as clear cut as Serral beats Reynor and Reynor beats Dark so Serral beats Dark, though I do agree that Serral is heavily favored. I mainly believe that because Serral has looked monstrous in ZvZ for the past few months, he's beaten Solar multiple times and crushed Reynor. I honestly think Maru/Clem are more dangerous to Serral right now than Dark/Solar (or Reynor, but he's out already) | ||

And Reynor has beaten Serral plenty of times, it ebbs and flows. The skill difference between those top z's isnt massive, a small difference is enough to make difference. | ||
