In one thing i agree. GSL is unnecessary too long. 1 month just for Ro32, where it could have been over in 2 weeks. Then almost 2 weeks nothing, 2 weeks for Ro16, and then again almost 2week break. Then after Ro8 again almost 2 weeks of a break. The whole thing could be done in 3 or 4 weeks less for sure.

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.

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

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.

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.

Yeah I don't think it's a problem at all - it's just something most koreans don't do.
