Three months into 2019, one thing has become undeniably clear: Serral is a PatchZerg.
Serral has never been the undisputed #1 player in the world, contrary to what you may have been led to believe. Casters and Blizzard referred to Serral as the best in the world, simply because he was a foreigner who managed to crack the top ten.
In 2018, Serral was good enough to do well at a couple weekenders, but he refused to participate in the major leagues (GSL). Of course, if he wants to play in the minor leagues (WCS) and rack up wins and money, that's totally fine. But saying he's the best player in the world wasn't something an objective observer could say. His dominance isn't unprecedented, because Serral barely played against top players. INnoVation and Life both had stronger periods of dominance in their prime, even if they didn't win 40+ series in a row by some contrived metric (online, offline, whatever). And this isn't even taking Maru's 2018 into account, where he won three Code S tournaments in a row.
Serral's losses at IEM and WESG were huge blows against his legacy because he barely plays any matches against Koreans. He won't play an important tournament with Koreans in it until GSL. vs The World in August, and then BlizzCon after that. It's even worse when you consider that Serral lost in these very two tournaments last year. While Serral fans would have you believe their twisted version of reality, WESG and IEM are the two most prestigious international tournaments, not GSL vs. The World and BlizzCon. GSL vs The World is a vacation time for Koreans, and BlizzCon's format makes it a less challenging tournament than IEM or even Super Tournament (let alone Code S). HomeCtory Cup was an underrated great win for Serral, but it's not enough to vindicate him as a truly great player.
It might be that Serral simply exploited 2018 Zerg to its fullest. In 2018, Serral played super defensively and just tried to outlast his opponent. Zerg can win like that because they were given the strongest late-game with the many changes implemented throughout 2018. Maru actually had his invincible Raven-style taken away early in the year, and even after that he continued to dominate GSL by pivoting to very active and aggressive play. Terran has just been directly/indirectly nerfed in the lategame too many times.
One final note: It's funny that people think we 'Korean Elitists' hate Serral, because we definitely do not. It seems that if you don't agree that Serral is the best player ever, then that implies that you hate Serral. Therefore you are shamed into praising Serral—even if you have a more moderate point of view—unless you are willing to accept endless harassment and provocation.
Aprillipäivä
Special thanks to Rodya for his long history of TeamLiquid.net contributions.
Yes, haha. I've been trying to tell people for a while now Serral is clearly a patch zerg. That's why he isn't being so successful now and many players are taking series against him this year. He can't rely so hard on his patch anymore.
I have to admit, half-way through the opening post, I was really getting riled up. By the time I reached the end, I was wondering if this was a genuine or a sarcastic tribute to Rodya. Without the foot notes, I am not sure that I would have been able to sleep calmly, though... Final verdict: this is a very vicious April fools joke!
Thank you Wax for revealing the truth. May this be a lesson for everyone, whenever someone wins any tournament the question must be asked; are they winning because they got skill or are they winning because they are simply playing Patch Zerg/Terran/Protoss.
He is right, however, he never had to face the best terrans in the world in 2018, except his defeat against Maru, mostly because terran was weak in weekenders ( and overall). 11 weekenders premier tournaments in 2018 ( WESG, 4WCS, 2GSL ST, GSL vs the World, Katowice, Pyeongchang, Blizzcon ) and only one tournament with a terran in finals.
^ lol at least we don't need to argue with ridiculous "logic" like that in this thread. From now on any time someone comes up with same type of argument - i'm calling in Wax to bring justice.
As a mongrel independent scrapyard outcast bilge-froth margin dweller, April 1st shtick/pranks seem hopelessly fuddy-duddy and quaint.
Worse - its a cliche tradition turned pastiche upon which idiots hang infantile material of which they are infinitely proud.
Worse - its become a post modernist fetish of normality manifested as irony:
"Aw I tricked you guys...laugh laugh...first you thought one thing and then another, and and and HERP DERP...I made you do that...laugh laugh...(But I am just doing it as an ironic performance, I know its not funny or clever and just silly, yet I do it anyway because I have zero insight into my behavior)"

Clearly you have been worked over so hard by Serral fanboys that you have started to believe that 2018 really only did consist of mid-April to November (plus the weekend WCS Leipzig was played)
Also - good job by Waxangel to get the article off just after 1st April in order to throw out some smokescreen. That irresistible TL urge to call the blizzcon champ a patchzerg aint gonna satisfy itself
For all those complaining about the date, it was still April 1st for a huge number of us. In fact, the TL- was posted 12 hrs before April 1st for a huge number of us too. The date nitpicking is irrelevant. Stop wasting time on dates and more time writing wellformed responses on how Wax is just a patch-desk host.

Maybe because some people are still pissed because of the Rogue article?
Are Blizzcon titles now meaningful outside of prize money now that a Zerg player won one and needs it for legacy? Because people have spent years arguing that sOs's 2 don't mean much.

sOs's two blizzcons and iem championship is literally why he's one of the all time greats.

People have though. His two blizzcon wins combined with a ridiculous proleague history are why he's an all time great. But people still argued his wins weren't as impressive as Zest, INno, Rain etc because those guys won in GSL and tournaments in korea.
When sOs won blizzcon both times he wasn't even considered the best in the world (even according to TL PR I think), and not even close to player of the year.
Though to be fair his IEM win wasn't that impressive, Katowice wasn't the stacked 76 player world championship it is now

Okay then how else do you explain Serral suddenly losing series to everyone? Clearly the only explanation is he lost the power of the patch.

Better players than Serral have struggled to maintain the same intensity after having success.

This is wrong because Serral is the best player ever

Because they have to play the very best players in the world.
Serral have to play against ro24 ( at best ) Katowice players.

I didn't think I'd have needed to seriously answer to this again.
A patchzerg would have never won HSC, Terran who had adapted faster to the new patch and every Zerg here, Rogue and soO included, was failing hard.
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.
Serral's period of domination was the longest(yes, he didn't play against koreans, I know) and after that ended he reached ro8 at IEM, 2nd place at WESG and a guaranteed top3 at WCS; probably one of the best slumps I can think of.
He didn't "lose to everyone", but it's crystal clear his level isn't the same he mantained for so many months last year; I can categorically exclude it's because of the patch, It's much more likely that's because he didn't train enough, his motivations aren't as compelling as they were(hard to keep up after winning so much in so few time) and/or his physical condition aren't the best. Time will tell.

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.
always knew serral was a patch zerg we all tasted and used the dark magic that was brood lord infestor back in 2012 at some point this article proves such injustices done by the best in the world back in the day !!!

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.

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.
Let's just say that I was very confused to see "Aprillipäivä" at the end not because it wasn't relevant to the article but because I though google had done its share of auto-translating again

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.

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.
I don’t know who Rodya is, but every player who has been “undeniably the best in the world” has suddenly started losing tournaments throughout the history of sc2. Serral is still young though, it’s possible he hasn’t reached his full potential yet.

Korean pros regularly write articles on fomos? That's actually pretty cool.
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.

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

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.
