As a huge Serral fanbiy I'm sad to admit that this article is 100% true!

Wax why did you post this on April 1st, at least in many timezones? People are just going to assume you're joking with this one.

Hah guys I went to Classic's fan club and I found out another forgotten gem: Rodya stating Classic's 2018 was better than Serral's as his ro4 and ro8 placements in Code S were evidently a greater feat than Serral's WCS victories.
I could very well see that included in the article.

I know it's fun to be a contrarian but I, among a number of others I'm sure, found this article very funny but didn't find it pertinent to post an innocuous "haha" in thread.

i'm not sure what you think subjectivity is, but it actually means that someone calling a thread unfunny is equally valid as you calling it funny. so you kinda buried your own point

Not even mentioning patchX is usually referred to nonames becoming competitive while X race starts to dominate tournaments, korean Zerg didn't reach a single final after April last year, only Reynor did at WCS Montreal; not exactly the overbearing performance one overpowered race should show, don't you think? Zerg was having even or slightly favourable matchups, yet Serral won every tournament he entered while the others failed to even win one.

You're forgetting that in 2018 a tier 3 non-Korean pro finally won a premiere tournament off the back of a match up that was Wings of Liberty level imbalanced in favor of Zerg. The match up was somewhat fixed after that but was still Zerg favored for pretty much all of 2018.


Who and what are you speaking of?


Calling Scarlett tier 3 is actually disrespectful in my opinion; in any of case, that happened months before Serral started dominating globally, it's not even the same patch.


Is it really? How big are your tiers?

Depending on how finely you wanna divide tiers, I could see an argument for Tier 3. Like, tier 1 being only a champion or two, the guys that looked unstoppable. Tier 2 being the championship contenders, the ones that had a chance but missed, maybe 5-10 players. Then Scarlett would be tier 3.

That's what I was thinking.
Tier 1 - Champions (Serral, Neeb)
Tier 2 - Contenders (SpeCial, ShoWTimE, Lambo, Reynor, HeRoMaRinE etc.)
Tier 3 - Players I've heard of
Tier 4 - Who?

You have to make a top 4 more often than once every 2 years to be placed in my contender list.

You could probably split Tier 3 into playoff regulars and players I've heard of.

The split of the WCS Circuit into EU and Americas throws a giant wrench into that.

God help me, I have to add soO to my champions tier for Korea.

My tiers are evidently larger than yours, I would call dominating players like Serral or Maru in 2018 S-tier, the élite tier 1, the solid outsiders tier 2; a tier 3 player should be a good one who really has few chanches to win a tournament, Scarlett won a IEM and just got a fourth place at WESG(not considering the results she had before LoTV), I think she's tier 2 at least.

She was a solid tier 3 player prior to that win. She's definitely up in the Champion/Contender tier now, especially with the WCS America being only a few players deep.


The only world in which she was ever Tier 3 was GSL when they seeded her that way in the RO32 groups.

He's implying that the thread should not be called a joke because he finds it unfunny so I don't see how I buried anything.

Couldn't agree more. Serral is decent player, but he is good from 50% because of zerg is imbalanced. By the way isn't this balance whining ? I thought no balance complaints on this forum are allowed.

Nice bait or joke, in perfect armony with the tone of the article!

What does Serral do in zvt are only defense,defense and defense,It is a good strategy and usually works out (actually works out for 95% of Terrans).But when play with elite terrans like Maru and Innovation,this kind of style can't make enough repression like Dark.Elite Terrans just attack,attack,attack and don't need to care about their home front when play with Serral.
