EPTIt Serral account, seem like he lose all his fights vs Rogue and Soo lately.
Too bad that's Reynor account.
He uses the Serral portrait and you probably read the wrong collumn

If I remember correctly, it was because he met with TL people at some event in France and he also made a TL account and said hi or something. These lists just rile people up and have some heart picks instead of actual logical picks. | ||

stephano and naniwa for example, were able to go toe to toe with the best koreans back in the day and still win tournaments. until serral does that he shouldn't be that high | ||

Depends. Stephano in his prime was like 61-2 (one dc iirc) on European ladder in between tournament wins. He was dominating other foreigners as much as Serral but maybe his lifestyle back then didn’t allow for as much consistency as Serral in doing so. The fact that Neeb is slumping and that terran still can’t be played by Europeans also helps Serral in his domination. | ||

He came to ESWC 2011 in Paris as a favorite since he'd just won IPL 3 and went on to win it, facing MKP and MaNa. | ||

Yeah, and ladder can be a very good indicator of future performances / domination. Reynor went up very high on the ladder and he eventually reached the point of beating Classic to qualify into GSL ro16. Serral was a ladder god before dominating everyone. ByuN as well. Bomber and MKP were the scariest bio terrans on ladder. etc. etc. The fact that Stephano dominated europeans that hard before tournament wins is a good indicator of dominance.

During his peak year (1.10.11-1.10.12) Stephano had a 350-89 overall record (79.73%) and a 148-18 record (89.16%) in bo3+ series versus them. While during the last 8 months, after the 4.0.0 patch, Serral's record has been 208–39 (84.21%) and 66-5 (92.96%). | ||

At Nation Wars he got beaten by soO but he had superior mechanics, he lacked clutchness, as well at IEM where he lost to Classic (but he was able to beat him soon after iirc). He is better at destroying foreigners than most, if not all, koreans. | ||

A tournament can change the perception of how strong a player is. Stats is also quite low in this ranking but after this tournament the perception has changed. | ||

Some of you guys needed to respect what Serral was doing and all I can do is hope that you do now. The dude is seriously fucking good. | ||

The dude is seriously fucking good. where is Stats in this ranking? I called this shit before it happened. Stats is good. No idea why you guys didn't respect him. Always amusing to see people saying "I told you so" after an upset tournament run. Sometimes you're right with your prediction, sometimes you're just as wrong. That doesn't mean you're a genius that knows everything better or that the other people are just dumb and disrespecting the players. | ||
