I don't listen to interviews even of players I like, so I have literally no basis by which to judge his personality. I'm not a Serral fan (although I have a lot of respect for his professionalism and skill) but I think Serral produces more entertaining series than anyone else, maybe besides Dark. The only consistently watchable Zerg matchup is ZvT (and even that hasn't been particularly good for years) and Serral almost never plays Terran players even remotely at his skill level. It doesn't help that ZvT is horrid when there is a skill gap in favor of the Zerg as it feels like every game is 10 minutes of defensive macro play with the Terran player having literally no chance while a lesser Zerg or Protoss player can at least bring out interesting strategies.
I don't deny Serral has a ton of one sided series but he has many good ones too so I don't think it's fair to call him boring. I agree with you that the meta is a lot less entertaining than 2017 or 2018. The nydus made ZvT a lot more boring and it looks like almost half of TvPs and PvZs involve an allin/strong timing attack.

I mean, i don't agree at all that Serral's play is boring but people can like who they wanna like, no need for the entire world to get so defensive
|
Praying for a neeb miracle this spring
|
Anybody have a link to vod of uthermal lambo series?
|
Looking forward to another Serral victory.
A very strong ro8 though. Reynor, Neeb and Showtime have all shown that they're world class calibre players as well as Serral.
|
All in all there weren't many surprises this WCS.

I don't listen to interviews even of players I like, so I have literally no basis by which to judge his personality. I hear it here first. Serral's personality is much more likely to appear boring than his actual play. yeah Serral vs Stats at GSL vs the world, Serral vs Reynor at Montreal, Serral vs soO are probably some of the most entertaining series that I have watched. Serral vs Rogue at Blizzcon, Serral vs Innovation at HSC and WESG were pretty good too.
Don't forget Serral vs Bunny from HSC, some fantastic matches!

We couldnt have asked for a better top8. Everyone of the real contenders made it, and then there is a new face, goblin, to make it interesting. The bracket draw ended up cool as well

I want to see Neeb vs Special and Serral vs Reynor for the Ro4. Let the TL people have a win and have a real clash for the title of best of the circuit. And we have the kings of NA vs the kings of EU
|
It's hard. I want Special to break his Ro4 curse, but I also want the Neeb vs Serral clash. Neeb needs to take back his crown after his disappointing 2018 in circuit events. Serral didn't need to dethrone Neeb. Neeb just kinda abdicated his throne.

I can't find a VOD of SpeCial vs MaSa in RO16, can someone link me please? Was there no B stream at all?

This WCS has been the best tournament of the year by far. The quality of the games has been great (my only caveat would be too many nydus, it's still probably a bit too strong), casting has been excellent thanks to a great caster lineup, and the balance has been good. 6 terrans in the ro16 is more than I can remember in recent times.
The fact that there have been few upsets is also a testament to the balanced state of the game right now. All those who advanced to the ro8 deserved to.
I'm rooting for a Special vs Serral final, but I think we might get a PvP and a ZvZ semifinal, hoping I'm wrong though. Let's go Juanito!

Really hoping Reynor will win this!

I think that no one casted a single series of Special for 2 fays, which is disgrace. I would like to be wrong but I watched most of games on all streams and havent saw one with probably best foreign terran.

Yea, I'm just so sorry we have these great matches and it's impossible to see them. Maybe we have a replay pack after the event?

But there were like 10ish active streams. They could stream his games aswell. Really can't see the point of having all those casting same matches, even in same language. I hope for replay pack too!
