Neeb has his Kespa Cup win for instance, but more than everything, Serral hasn't contribute to the meta like Stephano did at his peak. At this rate, however, he will be foreigner GOAT no matter what thanks to his trophy haul. | ||

Though neeb went 17-11 and 18-8 in his first two WCS wins while Serral has gone 17-4 and 17-3 in his first two WCS, while being just as consistent in general. For example since the 4.0.0 patch he's 187-34 in maps, and 60-5 in bo3 or longer series against other foreigners. Neeb was clutch, while Serral has been dominant, so I can understand quite a bit of this hype. Don't forget that that WCS where neeb only dropped like, 1 map. good times. Actually neeb went 17-2 in the final WCS of the year after going 10-8 in the third one. | ||

So far, the only two tournament I can remember him playing koreans offline were : - WESG where he got to the semis without facing any korean, and then suddenly loses 0-3 to the first Korean in Maru. - IEM World Championship, lost 0-3 to Classic in the semis He still has a lot to do to be compared to Neeb in terms of performance, who not only won 3 consecutive WCS, and finished in 3rd place of the 4th one, but also won Kespa cup on Korean ground + the Hangzhou carnival in China just a month ago beating Rogue & herO. While Neeb has proven himself against Koreans, Serral needs to do it as well now that he has conquered the foreign scene. And with the skill he has displayed, it is certainly within his reach. | ||

Won 2 consecutive (lost 19 games, Serral lost 7), finished 5-8th in the 3rd WCS, won 1 more* While Neeb has proven himself against Koreans, Serral needs to do it as well now that he has conquered the foreign scene. And with the skill he has displayed, it is certainly within his reach. I’d say Serral has proven himself against Koreans (with both him and neeb also having losses against them), but is still behind in overall accomplishments by roughly the amount of a very good performance in a Korean tournament, in 2-3 WCS tournaments and to some degree in a Blizzcon. | ||

I agree. Right now, Serral is the best foreigner, no question, based on skill level and recent form, but overall Neeb is still above him all time based on accomplishments. I have no doubt Serral can match or even surpass Neeb's WCS dominance, but it's Neeb's Kespa Cup win that makes him still come ahead of Serral, IMO. Serral does, however, have the potential to surpass Neeb all time, unless Neeb returns to old form and suddenly decides to become dominant again. | ||

Serral also seems to have the same weakness against top Korean terrans. I would like to see him go to Korea to train for a while and take a crack at GSL season 3 to maybe overcome that. | ||
