Congratulations to Serral for the 3-piece, truly an astonishing achievement!

On another note, what a crazy finals that was. I think everyone was expecting Showtime to get to the finals. Has clearly looked at the upsets MaNa was pulling in Austin and went: "I can do better", because he really did put up a good fight against the man who on paper should 100-0 Has.

Also, I highly recommend everyone to check out Feardragon's video on Has and his playstyle: www.youtube.com

Has = Ratings. If he could just learn to expand (Or even learn to take gas) while keeping the crazy aggression, he could redefine the meta.

Serral is so good now that he needs better opponents in order to increase his skill.

I do not think foreigners provide much of a challenge for him any more.

He's played them before, he lost.

It's why he's not in the GSL. Good financial decision but poor competitive one. Ironic, its the same thing why we cried for region locking because the Koreans were taking all our money.

Yawn. He also played them before and won. He has a pretty good record against them this year, except for the latest losses against soO which you seem to have in your memory. proof

Has won my fandom.

Also why did they not use TaiWans flag in wcs for Has??


I assume that's because Blizzard want to continue to earn money from China


Because Taiwan is not recognized as independent country by UN. Thank's to USA who adopted diplomatic relationship with China by kicking Taiwan out of UN in 1971.

and maru was kind of toying around with serral at WESG... but with the raven nerf it might look diffent now. im sure he can keep up with top koreans. we'll find out soon.

Serral did what was expected. But Has was the real mvp for making the tournament fun. I don't think I'd have watched much past the ro16 if not for him. It's a shame he made a couple mistakes in the final, because that series was winnable at time.

Beating Impact, Trust, and Zest isn't exactly shocking.

The only results I'd give weight to were him winning a close series against Trap (3-2), and beating Classic in the 3rd place match of wesg (3-1). Other than that he basically doesn't have any relevent results.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Beating Rogue is pretty good I'd say. And Zest is good too usually, I don't know how he good he was at the time of IEM but he was pretty good at some points this year.

I haven't seen his last matches against Maru, but Serral's "weakness" is Terran and you know how Maru is decimating everyone atm. His matches against soO were pretty close and could've ended different, soO was just slightly better that day.

Zest's PvZ is like upper mid-tier WCS level in offline matches.

I was referring to his games losing to Maru that were mentioned on stream at Valencia, good to know he lost to soO too. Stop trying to pretend you know what people think, you don't have that ability.

I feel that if Has simply was consistent in cheesing , he would have made it to the finals much easier. Just cannon rush the zergs third, not only the natural. Cannon rush Showtimes new nexus etc. He definitely threw a lot of games. He tapped out with Serral when corruptors reached his 2 nexai , instead he should have warped a bunch of stalkers at each one and sniped 5 corruptors, he had like 9+ gates ... He would be Ok even if they destroyed the nexai.

So if he could improve , he will be terrifying.

Good writeup but it doesn't really convey the phenomenal level of play that Has was showing. Sure, not enough to beat Serral, but the execution, micro, and for the most part the decisionmaking were all incredibly impressive.

He also beat Rogue in Katowice. I know people in these parts are toxic Korean supremacists, but you're doing it based on lies now. Serral's won more against high level Koreans than lost this year. Serral was top 4 in Katowice, a tournament full of top Koreans, some of whom didn't even make it to ro32.

People here lying about results to belittle Serral are just miserable, racist pieces of shit. If TL feels the need to ban me for speaking the truth, good. Bathing among this sewage filth isn't good for the soul anyway.

the battery-robo rushes against Serral were also poorly done. not to take away anything from either, it s probably the nerves, but never seen a robo rush getting un-powered before due to poor pylon placement before. Also he forgot to remake a canon at least to protect against ling surrounds.

Also, to the people trying to discredit Serral's wins against koreans this year, just get a grip on reality...

You could do the same mental gymnastics and discredit Maru's GSL wins, well he only beat Zest, Rogue and Classic, it s not like he s beating the best

I loved watching Serral for exceptional play. I loved watching Has for excitement and also good play...I think he has a ton of potential.

Congrats to Serral! It's amazing how dominant he is outside of Korea and how long of a period it has been. He said it's unlikely to get yet another trophy but at this point I think it's almost expected.

Wow, looks like he crushed the tournament just based on the scores. Also speaks well of Scarlett for being a game away from beating him.
