Nah, in two of those games Has could have easily won if it wasn't for a few critical mistakes.
Even Artosis said after game 4 that the score could have as well been 3-1 for Has at that point.

Well yeah that's the point, it was very clear he wasn't at the same level as Serral when it came to playing out games, build orders aside.

Has probably has 100x more practice in his weird cheesy scenarios than the typical pro. This is why Serral was afraid of playing Has in the finals. Has fails not because of the larger picture of his strategy, but because his control and micro is not up to par against the best players (Has does make questionable "tactical" decisions at times, but his overall strategy is sound).

Compare Has, to say Stats. When Stats cheesed Serral in the finals of GSL vs the World, Stats has way better control than Has and I believe Stats won the game that he cheesed against Serral. Unfortunately, Stats mostly plays standard so I don't think he has explored all the paths of cheesing that Has has.

Terran and Zerg could be in for a huge surprise at Blizzcon if the top Korean pros come in with massive cheese strategies that Has is using.

what is amazing about has is that not only he has practiced more games in cheesy games, but also he has more experience in cleaning up the shitty condition after a failed cheese.
A lot of players defended has's initial wave of cheese pretty successfully but still failed to some weird mid-to-late game plays.
In one of has's Chinese interview about his late game meta after his amazing run in WCS Valencia. 'When I practice on ladder, A lot of players won't quit even they already lost, so I have to think about some way to bully them.'

Has should redefine what is considered 'cheese' and what has become 'standard.' The Starcraft scene treats these words as too much of a dichotomy

Better players would have won from the positions Has was in, with better control and macro, surely. But they don't play like him at all so their games would never go in that direction to begin with.
