Straight WCS events. As good as Maru was this year it is undeniable that Maru failed to win several key matches, notably at GSL vs the World and Blizzcon. I don't think it is fair to call Maru the better player when he failed to defeat Serral on the latest patch. You can argue 3 GSl is impressive but I would say that the caliber of players that Serral defeated at Blizzcon and GSL are about equal and the 4 WCS match at least 1 GSL. That's fair. Until they actually play each other it really is just opinion. Serral had a hell of a year and is a great World Champ. He earned the respect he's getting. I'll be excited to see how everyone does next year. | ||

I enjoyed it last week even though I expected better games. Friday night was a lot better with very good quarterfinals. So I was pumped for the final four. And then my internet fell. I managed to avoid the spoilers but had to wait until this afternoon to watch the VODs. And then my internet feel again. At 3-2 during the final. Asshole. So of course I'm a bit disappointed not having been able to witness such a historic moment live but I'm still extremely glad about getting back on the SC2 train. The games displayed by Serral, Rogue and Stats (well, not Stats vs sOs, that was a stomp) have left me speechless, the game 4 of Rogue-Serral especially was absolutely insane. ZvZ has improved so much over the years, it reminded by of the famous TaeJa-INnoVation, the masterpiece of TvT (one of at least). And the last game of the final was extraordinary as well, both players played SO WELL, the multitasking required was incredible. Congratulations to Serral ! The first time I watched him it was during a DreamHack where he lost 2-0 to SuperNoVa while playing already far better than the score made it believe. And he was 15. I knew he had potential but I never imagined he could go beyond what any foreigner has ever done on SC2 (or SC1). He has everything : the talent, the work ethic and an incredible mental strength. What a win. I'm really looking forward to the HomeStory Cup and more generally to what 2019 will reserve for us. StarCraft II is great ! You should watch the sixth game between reynor and serral in the last wcs finals, it was so freaking tense. | ||

When he manages to do with the Koreans like Serral has done over 2 tournaments now, from playing only outside of South Korea, just makes it even more impressive. His skill level just looks to be better right now. To the people saying "zerg will get nerfed... he just won on this patch..blabla". Its not like he is abusing a single unit to death. If they nerf zerg the way some ppl "hope" they will... you wont see any zergs qualify period. | ||

Marwho?  Nah, Maru lost to a very tricky opponent, but it seems to me Maru wins more often from build orders and surprises than Serral. Too bad we didn't get the Maru vs Serral final, but the match vs Stats was pretty good. Go Finland! | ||

Here are some reactions. Generally very appreciating, only trashtalk seems to be aimed towards his signature. https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/9u0s8c/korean_reaction_to_serrals_victory/ | ||

It's really close, but Serral's dominance just barely edges it Edit: Life is banned so no. But but Life can give games away and still win a series, that’s bonjwa. | ||

It will be hard to rate Serrals level next year compared to the koreans since he so rarely plays them but he proven his class and potential beyond any doubt. | ||

Obviously he gets props for winning the World Championship, but Maru is far, far ahead in my opinion. Maru won tournaments against objectively better opponents, Serral won the big, subjective story-line. Nah, winning 3 GSLs is nothing. If Serral had competed in GSL Maru would have won 0 GSLs. WCS is harder than GSL anyway (Serral dropped more maps vs Scarlett, Lambo and Reynor than vs top koreans at blizzcon) So Serral won 4 tournaments harder than the GSL and on top of that GSLvsTW and Blizzcon. No series dropped in 9 months. Definitely GOAT and bonjwa now. But keep denying it korean elitists. So funny to see the haters doing mental gymnastics to discredit his win. It's good that Maru got eliminated early. Serral would have demolished him in 15 minutes. He's just on another level than any player ever was. | ||

Don't forget that he won his match vs maru in the team competition at gsl vs the world as well, that might have been the most impressive teamleague performance ever, definitely a contestant for the teamleague goat title and therefore overall goat is a given. | ||

Oh yeah that too. That's a 100% winrate compared to Maru's 85% winrate in 2016 Proleague so he beats him in that aspect too. | ||
