Would have rather seen less spread on the prize money between 2nd thru 8th since bracket draws have so much weight. Don't really like the 3rd place match other than the fact it gives the winner of the last series a chance to recoup. | ||

He somehow got repeatedly denied expansions by simple two prong attacks. Cure played rock solid Starcraft until 15mins, then he somehow just didn't know what to do anymore. Refused to build Ghosts. Refuse to went for kill when he had clear window of upper hand. Didn't even expand that well. Just sit on his ass not sure what to do and allowed even a sloppy Serral to crawl his way back in. Serral wasn’t at his cleanest but he wasn’t exactly sloppy either. Part of why some of those games were so close is the exact same reason some are criticising Cure’s decisions. You can’t do everything in this game. He committed to a huge tank push one set, that almost worked. He skipped trying a ghost mech transition in another, vehicle ups and wasn’t rebuilding workers, and that was super close too. Cure made tradeoffs, and pretty judicious ones as I thought he’d be swept, but realistically he could have taken multiple sets. | ||

That’s quite some level of insecurity and dedication lol I'm convinced that we wouldn't have such a stubborn GOAT debate if commentators hadn't been so eager to jump the gun back then. that call after Blizzcon '18 was so hilariously contrived. of course now it is beyond question he is the GOAT | ||

Serral just has the aura of being the undisputed best from his gameplay and the amount of time he's been able to show that. Literally hasn't been another player aside from maybe Life that has had that level of dominance in the history of the game. Even when Maru was winning everything you could still see visible flaws in either decisions and execution, often multiple times within the same game. If you see a mistake from Serral it's pretty much a one off. | ||

If you see a mistake from Serral it's pretty much a one off. the ESL casters declared him GOAT after winning his first Blizzcon, which was offensively premature no matter which way you measure it. he was nowhere near ready to be crowned GOAT in 2018, even if 2018 was a glorious year for him. it's all about ESL casters being over-eager to roll out the red carpet for a foreign player > korean player. I honestly don't believe that there is too much bitterness over Serral's success. all of his success is extremely well deserved - but good lord, his groupies were insufferable back in the day | ||
