I love how Serral is always honest about being confident in his skill and same time sounding really humble.

I haven't watched much SC this year before this tournament. I can actually feel Serral's aura just watching him play. It seems nearly impossible to beat him. Every single map win you have to go through several very good defences and cannot let up once, else he stages a comeback. On the other hand, when Serral is in the driving seat, it looks completely hopeless.

Part of not following the scene closely lately, I do not have any idea what balance whine in the comments is justified and what is not. But just from watching him compared to other zergs, the difference is obvious. Doing this for 7+ years in a row is just unbelievable.

Absolutely stellar.

I think Classic did really well. He tried and fought back and he dominated the other players. What more can you ask for.
Classic vs Rogue: 2-1
Classic vs Serral: 0-3
Classic vs Showtime: 3-0
Classic vs Clem: 3-0
Classic vs Solar: 4-1
Classic vs Serral: 2-5

Classic clearly was the 2nd best player in this event and played great.

What i know is we need another patch,

1- Larva management is way to good for zerg
2- Zerg doesn't even need a drone to scout haha
3- Queen are still way to well rounded for what they are made for (inject larva)
4- Lurkers and Roaches take little damage from storms (they are supposed to be biological)
5- Zerg Timming pushes are way to strong in general usually having 60+ supply .... read #1 again
How may help u?

I see in the EWC club championship standings, you have to place top 8 in two DIFFERENT games to be eligible. If Basilisk would have had someone get top8 in one other game, they'd probably be looking at, based on current standings, something like an extra $600k. Sheesh!

GGs.

Would have only been better if Maru and Clem got swapped in their bracket placement.
TvT is the worst matchup atm.

Best two players finished top 2, no bracket scamming.

Hopefully not the last.
I may appear to be an emotionless sarcastic pos, but just like an onion when you pull off more and more layers you find the exact same thing everytime and you start crying

It's not that unbelievable.

The scene has only produced two or three top-level players in the time since Serral first won a world championship.

Who is meant to knock him off his perch?

It's actually incredibly mundane given the situation.

Depending on how you count, Serral is either the first 3 time or the first 4 time world champion. No matter how you count though, he has more than anyone else. GGs and WP by the GOAT

Amazing Serral been the king of the mountain for 7 years.

Looking back most players had their “greatest player moments” for a couple months to maybe a year.

I know people like to bring up that prior to Serral the Korean scene had more competition and more cut throat.

I would disagree. There was kore Koreans competing but the skill level and game quality was quite low. Just take a look at games prior especially in WOL and HoTS. The so called godlier micro are basic micro in current high master / low GM at best

The current skill level is just through the roof.

It’s been a great year for classic. He made a lot of $$$

None of it is valid! The best players won. People perform better or worse at different times. Part of Serral's superpower is his mindset and consistently, and perhaps even the heart rate monitors this weekend were a hint. Clem, Maru and Reynor can all peak above Serral, but they have emotionally volatile moments. Reynor played amazing this weekend and him and Serral was as close to a tie as physically possible. Clem and Maru slept on the wrong side of the bed, and that's okay. That doesn't become a T balance problem.

I'm seeing casters suddenly use the "1 WC a year" counting method that no one has used before (INCLUDING THEMSELVES) and am getting irrationally annoyed about it
