About Serral, everything has been said and better said that what I can do. Next year will be awesome! | ||

It's going to be the first tournament (of many, probably) where Serral's ascendance won't be the primary storyline, but instead the hunt after him. He's got a big, fat target on his back now. It's going to be fun watching him defend his new status, and watching who might emerge as a challenger. We've got a great time ahead of us! Reynor and maybe Neeb... | ||

I definitely think the B word is in contention though. Almost a full year of perfection... 6 premier titles in 9 months, I think that is a record for sure? In any case clearly the best foreigner by a long margin - long live Serrals reign. | ||

While Serral certainly isn’t a bonjwa, the GOAT, or even the most decorated player to have attended the 2018 WCS Global Finals, that doesn’t mean he isn’t incredible in his own right. He'll do it all again next year, and then there'll be no arguing about his pedigree! Nicely written. A good recap of the history of foreign SC2. | ||

Maybe it's mostly to cover the winners and such but one thing that I do miss is the zerg strats thats been different in the EU scene for quite a while. EU zergs were never afraid of the late game. It was on EU that the brood lord rush showed up, albeit partly because of less agressive terrans and protoss than the top KR scene. It took a good amount of time until the KR pro players started to go for earlier infestor/BL play. Snute basically invented how to play swarm hosts vs korean terrans, even after he showed how very few were able to replicate it, and mostly used it effective vs protoss. These examples are maybe awhile back now but I still find it interesting that these things happened in EU and not in KR, and that the legacy of late game players like stephano, snute and firecake still makes some impression on the EU zerg scene. So I'm not surprised that the next good EU zerg in serral is very good at holds, and playing longer macro games. Or maybe I am over emphasizing different regions? | ||
