He deserves a break from the game to recharge a bit, but I hope he goes back to hitting the game hard before the next event happens. I'd hate to see him taper off like so many champions before him who took breaks at the end of the year | ||

Serral said nothing about region unlock, actually he seemed to indicate the lock should be perfected removing the possibility for foreigners to participate in GSL. I was asking to remove or soften up the region unlock since everyone wants to see Serral against top koreans; it could be detrimental to mid-tier foreigners at first but the gap is much closer than it was in the past so I think(I could be wrong, obviously) it would actually help them in the long run. Alternatively, keep the lock and give us many more global events; something should be done to help mid-low korean scene as well. | ||

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 I don't think what he says is arrogant at all but I kinda see his point. When Serral loses or has a close series he always says something like "the games were close because I did x and x wrong" (implying if he didn't do those mistakes he'd have easily won). When someone like Flash or JD lose or have a close series they never make excuses but only praise their opponent and say they only barely edged it out because of some small details. I'd attribute this more just on Serral's inexperience with interviews though - Flash and JD (and most other koreans) are doing this for over a decade. You can also argue if you even want every player giving super generic professional answers. | ||

I don't think it's a common thing for Serral to belittle his opponent's performances even when he criticizes his own play. This time was a bit different though, but I think it's just because Serral genuinely feels that the close series gave a wrong impression about Taeja's current level compared to top terrans. | ||

WESG is 150k next year. Multiple tournaments and/or BlizzCon would do the trick, still it's not THAT easy xd | ||

Yet on the other hand in all forms of sport you have players say the exact same thing as serral after matches. “ we lost because we didn’t execute our game plan well enough “, “ I made critical mistakes at the wrong time” etc etc. Nothing in it at all, not even inexperience...it’s just nitpicking. | ||
