Most have come back again, but have calmed down. Have to be kind to our fellow posters and mods, and save the memes for any great possible future result.

So I ask, where did all our Finnish posters go?

No reason to get banned before Serral wins something again. Damn this year will be amazing for any finn watching this game. Year of Serral!

Well, I was expecting my boy SpeCial to finally grasp a tournament. Good job for Serral.

What a great series between Neeb vs Showtime. Came down to the wire.

Also got to give Showtime credit for coming back so many times in the finals when the game seemed like it was all over. Hopefully this is the start of him having consistent runs in WCS.

Great tournament to watch other than slightly underwhelming final. Showtime's defensive playstyle make the first few games felt more one sided than it really was.
Curious to see if Serral can maintain this momentum with the recent balance changes. Personally I feel foreign zergs like Serral might end up dealing with the hydra nerf better as their style is less early-mid game timing attack orientated than some Korean zergs, but we will see soon in upcoming WESG and IEM.

Serral has the highest Aligulac rating of all time. The does does make him Innovation but he is certainly a top 5 Zerg (Korea included).

He has this high ranking by beating foreigner, when he can be top 10 aligulac by only beating koreans his ranking may mean something.

Congrats to Serral once more. Let's hope this win finally opened the flood gates and there is no stopping him. Last year it might have been nerves or lack of stage experience that hold him back. Still, making the hat-trick like Neeb did is a whole lot harder than winning once. I believe he has the work ethic to not slack off now that he finally made past a big milestone.

its hard for me to consider neeb, since i kinda missed his reign. he seems like a good player,, although comparing his acievements i feel stephano and naniwa are still in their own tier(i know people dont like to talk about naniwa but for me its still a toss-up between him and stephano)

What does that even mean, GOAT Foreigner? I take it a foreigner who comes in and quickly disrupts an established player base, right?

That's a really long way of writing Neeb.

Congrats Serral! finally achieving what everyone knew you could. WIll be good to see decent foreigner competition this year rather than being the how much money will neeb win show.
