No.

My only problem is he sounds arrogant talking about Taeja and Inno. When you lose games you should own it. Prime example is when Flash lost to EffOrt in ASL 6. He trash talked before the match, predicting a 3-0. When he lost, he was very humble and had only respectful things to say toward his opponent. When FlaSh barely won 3-2 vs Snute at some IEM, he didnt discredit his opponents skill. I remember when JD won 2-1 against Scarlett one time early in her career he had an interview where he praised her skill and said it was a difficult match because of it.

A champion should be graceful and respect his opponents. Just my two cents.


Man I know your trolling, but still the narrative of Serral as being arrogant is really funny.

Great interview! The right questions were asked, and Serral is actually a pretty sensible guy.

I stand by my sig.

It's been a long time since multi-year dominance. Even if he loses 1 or 2 I hope he still delivers top form. Great interview!

Nice interview. it's nice to see more personality from him; it felt to me like the best foreigners (him and Neeb) lacked personality tbh. While I understand it's a really long tournament, it's still a bit of a shame that Serral doesn't really want to play in GSL but I do hope he reconsiders or at least goes to Super Tournament.. Also, I was a pretty surprised that he said he thought it was silly that Circuit players could play in GSL I do have to admit, it does feel a bit unfair so I kind of agree. I would like to see the region lock softened slightly (mid level Korean players given more opportunities to play outside of Korea) but not completely so the scene could look a bit more like in HotS, with more tournaments overall. I think that is definitely possible considering how much the SC2 scene has grown this year. .

Hmmm, I'm both slightly disappointed and a little worried.
I'd have loved to see Serral play in Korea instead of him destroying WCS once again(another 4/4 may or may not be possible, that's tied to Serral's condition and Reynor's growth, imho); moreover, with Terran being so strong this patch i fear training in EU could not be enough to prepare for the likes of Maru and TY.
It would be amazing for him to win the titles he still misses such as IEM and WESG.

So koreans beating foreigner at HSC on old maps is now terran so strong?


Uthermal beating Raynor, Bunny suddenly becoming super strong, Zest randomly dropping maps to Terran while every Zerg but Serral(and Bly, given his usual level) severely underperformed it's not just koreans beating foreigners.
That doesn't mean that Terran are op(just stronger) and Zerg are weak(just probably weaker) this patch, as we need time to properly assess the new patch.

From Serral's(and every top Zerg's) perspective, WCS is a weaker field to train when Terran become stronger than before and Zerg do the opposite whereas Korea should be a better environment given these conditions.






uthermal is having 8-5 score vs reynor and very close with serral too, why the fuck it's a surprise that he beat reynor at hsc, with style that reynor haven't even played against yet.

For the haters telling him to go compete in the GSL: Go and find the funds to sponsor him and his support team (yes, the support team is very important) for 2 months and then we'll talk

And he owns it by saying openly he was messing up in concise manner any observer can verify and witness. He does not state he would win if he did not mess up, just that he would have better shot at it.

P. S. While Serral has a point about GSL, he basically states why it happens personally: vastly different format and heavy commitment required. That said, Blizz should really open the WCS gates as well.

To be honest I feel like it’s dumb in the first place that we can play the tournament

How about Koreans attending all WCS events. Even Serral admits it

I'm kinda suprised he doen't mention that he mentioned Lambo for Zergs he trusts. I mean didn't he spoke to him about his builds in the Blizzconfinal?

Completely understand him not wanting to go to Korea for 2 month. I wouldn't want to do it either, but Koreans really should have a shot at the WCS Circuit if they want.

Thanks Serral to tell the truth !

Good interview.

Yeah lots of respect for saying that.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

I think it’s pretty questionable that he comes off as arrogant at all, but even if he does... don’t you think he’s earned that at this point? Besides, nothing he said in the interview struck me as unprofessional in the slightest :/ I’m a bit confused by your take on this tbh
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Hm, yes and no. Region lock was absolutely necessary as foreigner scene was much weaker than korean's; now the best foreigners(except Serral) are still behind, but close enough so that they could benefit of harder competition instead of being hopelessly trampled, in my opinion. I'd love to see Serral vs Koreans way more often; we could wait another year for the unlock, but at least more global competitions are needed.
