Awesome write up! These are so much fun to read as a fan who doesn't have time to watch the matches or know how each player performed throughout the year. Thank you.

Don't know why you had to claim that Serral has solidified himself as the best zerg in the world when that is a highly controversial opinion in the community. I don't understand how you can say things like that if its highly controversial.

Also why do you say that Classic is in the limelight now? He won a supertournament after losing in ro32 of GSL Season 3. Weekender tournaments don't give you the spotlight unless you're a foreigner (since the foreigners seem to care so much about them). The person that should be listed along Stats and Maru is TY.

10 bucks this is our guy. I have strong feelings that he will be our champion again (or sOs).

Well if it's not Serral then who else? He's the last zerg who reach a final of a tournament in Korea, on top of his wcs dominance. Rogue had a pretty off year after the few first months, so the only other candidate would be Dark (Leenock, SoO and Solar have all been to inconsistent to earn the title of the best in the world). And yes Dark had a good year overall with a strong finish but he fail to win anything and while he did well in weekender (ST1 and 2 and GSL vs the World) he bomb out early of the last 2 GSL.

So overall I wouldn't say it's "highly controversial" to say that Serral is the best zerg in the world above Dark, it's not like there's 10 zerg player in contention for the title it's just those two. And Serral seems to have been better all year on the account that he actually won tournament, including a win in Korea where he has betten Dark.

Judging Dark on his ability to lose in GSL ro16 is unfair. Even when he's #1 player in the world that still happens.

Rodya you're the only one with this opinion as far as I can tell, i don't know that it's controversial. It's like global warming... Just because one guy in 100 has a view different to everyone else doesn't mean it is a controversial theory.

Serral is obviously number 1 zerg, having won 5 premier tournaments this year, against the collective 2 won by all other zergs in the world this year (Rogue and Scarlett).

Rogue is the most dangerous Korean Zerg in my opinion. He poses the possibility of a ZvZ finals. It would be very poetic to see Serral defeat Rogue in the finals with yet another ZvZ.

ZvZ finals again, the dream.
