That doesn't make sense, considering neeb has swept serral the last 2 times they met so its understandable that neeb is a threat.
Inno also defeated him last time they played, and had an exceptionally close series at HSC.
Reynor has been close to beating serral before having been up 3-2 in a Bo7 before.
Maru is a threat because Maru.
Conversely, Serral wrecked Dark at blizzcon, so he seems less threatening, and Scarlett idk anything specific but overall I think serral would rek scarlett 4/5 series they play.
Overall, I can agree with his original statement and see why someone else would put it forwards.

Yeah, some of you people have really selective memory.
Serral beat Inno in a finals for 8k dollars, but that was 3 months ago so who cares, he lost a meaningless game vs him in a group stage at IEM, so that's all we should care about, he s so scary, clearly could take him out easy, so lucky he dindt draw him!
And what's this bullshit with Scarlett being a huge threat for him? Based on what exactly? last time they met he smashed Scarlet iirc. Im sure he lost to her sometimes in a distant past (for sure more than 3 months ago, see the sentence above why that s important) Based on that Elazer is also a huge threat to him, cuz he s good in ZvZ and i think has beaten him like a year ago.
Same shit wit Reynor, he pushed him to the limit! ONCE and he lost even then, and Reynor himself has been really struggling eversince that 2nd place finish, failed to qualify for multiple events and got knocked out early in others.
Dark is in very good shape lately, but he's suddenly a pushower non-adversary cuz he beat him at Blizzcon!
Im exaggerating for "comedic effect" but you guys really sound like this to me.
I find it utterly ridiculous how Serral has the one and only hard group in the group stage, and because the totally random bracket selection doenst give him the hardest path imaginable, he s suddenly DODGING people, and he's having bracket luck! Yes he could have drawn a path that looks like> Inno then Neeb then Dark then Maru. He dindt, so what?
You guys are preemptively discrediting his run, so in case he might win you can go "see? told you guys, he s so lucky, people are so overhyping him, he s just keeps getting lucky". Or if he d be eliminated be like "lol, he couldnt even beat Dark who s CLEARLY an underdog, what a patchzerg!
Do you know what else could have happened? 3 koreans and Neeb in the bottom half, him facing Sortof in the first round and the winner of Ptitdrogo/Toodming in the second round.
That s one of the at least 10 possible better scenarios that could have happened, since it's randomly drawn bracket 1st vs 2nd seeds.
And it didnt, (after a very unlucky group stage draw) he caught a completely normal, not too hard, not too easy path to the finals , where -if he can go that far - he s facing the top dog anyways, so why y'all so butthurt about this supposed bracketluck, it s baffling.

So as a reward for winning his group MaNa gets Serral and if he pulls a miracle, Dark. Luck wasn't on his side this day.
Used all his luck getting that group unfortunately.

Yeah even though Serral path is not the hardest to the finals (depending on which Dark shows up), he had the only hard group stage and will have to face Dark+Neeb or a good korean in the finals anyways in order to win. If he manages to do that, he won't have stolen his win and that'll crush the doubts we can have after his IEM losses / WESG loss.
Finally the real tournament starts there, before that this tournament was refreshing liquipedia because not a lot of matches were streamed :o. Still amazing to have another international tournament though!

Let's go Dark!! About time for a championship, eh? I'm quietly sad for no possibility for Maru vs INno finals but INno Serral would be insane as well
|
Regardless of how this plays out, it's gonna be a sweet tournament. Really surprised that WESG has been this good 2x years in a row.

Every time I see some fan raving and raging like this, I just try and imagine Serral's face if he ever heard it (or whatever player in question).
Reminds me of Saitama and Boros.

Low-key excited for potential Serral-Dark rematch...
I just want to hear what the winner has to say after the match. Dark, we know what direction it's gonna go... As for Serral, I can only hope he spices it up after another win ;o
As the fictional pro-wrestling booker for SC2, I think Dark needs this win so he can get more heat as our top heel, thus building more intrigue for events down the line

Everybody just calm down it’s pretty obvious the Korean SC2 fans have yet to acknowledge Serral is on their level now if not past it. Personally I like seeing the Circuit catch up. It means more good games to watch!
The Maru Serral argument is still a thing only because we didn’t get to see it at BlizzCon so now it’s this ultimate fan fiction of what might have been: and it’s because Maru choked. Not Serral. Biggest disappointment of the year if you ask me that we didn’t get that. (WESG was on a different balance patch so please spare me that argument).
Instead of complaining incessantly about what should happen, let’s just grab some snacks and see what happens tonight, okay? 😉

Disappointing that Serral ends op in the other half of the bracket than the two Korean terrans Are you really that surprised? He also avoided Scarlett/Reynor (who many times almost beat him already) and Special, who is the closest thing to a korean Terran. Not to mention Neeb, who already beat him this tournamet (and b4 blizzcon)..And also Lambo, who seems to be in good form. Playing SpeCial in the ro4 is the same as soO in a GSL finals: a free win. That game again? It happened when Maru was starting to peak, months before Serral reached his best level; he clearly wasn't even the best zerg in the world at the time while Maru was on the way of becoming the best player in the world. Everyone would have loved to see them play against at their peak form(which it was the case for bo1 in GSL vs the World; on the other hand, that game didn't have much at stake and didn't happen in a 1v1 tournament). It's funny how Serral's peak form coincides with competition and the state of balance. State of balance? Serral was the only Zerg reaching finals after April in 2018. The funny thing is how hard you are trying to diminish his accomplishments! Reynor. I wrote it today in a previous post, I forgot to add it here. It doesn't especially strenghten your theory, does it?
You need to move the date even more, as DArk reached finals in April. sucks to be you.
