I guess we should start petitioning Blizzard for a Korean SC2 GSL "welfare" package as Serral will be taking their prizemoney?  . | ||

Good observation.... He and Raynor do a couple of things the Korean Zergs have lacked imo.... 1. They understand Zerg speed, and how to use lings to counter attack... 2. When I play zerg, I ALWAYS make lings, if you dont you arnt a good Zerg. It's like a Terran who cant stutter. I use the minimap to inject, set waypoints. send units to patrol.... 3. Unlike MOST of these Zergs, I think Serral actually USES different control groups, hence his multitasking overwhelming his opponents. Once I started doing this, I got a lot better really fast.... | ||

But would go with Serral on that I still wouldn't quite consider him the best after this one premier win even when significant, but would say it's quite reasonable to currently consider him as a top-5 player. Also a special thanks to the mods for not banning Finland for a couple of days for the gifs. :> On August 06 2018 10:20 NBird wrote: Is there a place to watch VODs of the series?

right he was only top4 in those, so he just won the last three tournaments he entered, which shouldn't change the point to much i presume | ||

The guy said winning one event doesn't make you a god, which is true. So I'd assume winning easy events doesn't either. | ||

So I'd assume winning easy events doesn't either. Is it though? Honestly, that's just exactly the bias everyone was talking about. Only Korea is good, all other regions and players are shitty ... in the end it's, as i said, just bias ... with no truth behind it. I mean, for sure you can say there are smaller events and bigger events ... regarding pricemoney, viewership and so on. Like Homestory Cup for example. But calling WCS an easy event which doesn't matter is just nonsense. Especially if you can manage to win several of them consecutive. You can only manage something like that if you are that good that you can also win against the top koreans. If anything, Serral has proven that by now. He doesn't need to play GSL seasons to prove that. He has proven already, and maybe he can continue a similar run at this years blizzcon. Of course he is by far the best foreigner right now. But others are getting better, too. | ||
