Once more, 2018 Global Champion (Wiki)Serral proved himself to be the sole deterrent to total Korean dominance in StarCraft II, defeating a mixed field of international and Korean players to win HomeStory Cup 19. Serral completed the tournament with a 9-1 match record (24-8 map score), defeating (Wiki)TY twice during the final stages of the double elimination playoffs.


For the second HomeStory Cup tournament in a row, Serral was pushed to his limits by an elite Korean Terran player in the finals, as INnoVation had taken him to a full seven map finals at the previous HomeStory Cup 18. The new addition of a winner's bracket point advantage helped Serral in this case, nudging him to a 4-3 victory against TY in the grand finals (he had previously defeated TY 3-1 in the winners bracket final). Stats, who had given Serral his only series loss of the tournament during the group stages, was eliminated by TY and soO during the playoffs.

With performances like this I bet he'll even manage to get to the second place on the power rank and piss off more people.

Great job by Serral, barring a massive patch or meta shift, I'm starting to really beleive in another sweep of GSLvsTW and Blizzcon.

But appart from him I have to say it was an abysmal performance by the rest of the foreing crew: 28-93 in map and 9-40 in match vs koreans. (with almost half the losses beeing on Creator) It really feel like they aren't getting any closer.

TY won every game he proxied and lost every game he didn't. Clearly Maru was right all along.

TY also copied Inno's 2base tank push that won WESG (same build, same map, same opponent, same Game 7 decider). But then he chickened out and backed off. And lost.

It's crazy to me that Serral can be so consistently great when his day-to-day Europe/America opponents can't provide him with the same level of competition as top tier Koreans. Seriously impressive.

Serral is only person on the planet that can improve just by theory crafting. He does not even need opponents.

Great Games and great fun as always!

Hoping for #1 Powerrank for the memes but i guess #2 it is because no Dark/Classic/Maru at HSC.

Serral did show some weakness that last series, but I believe most of it can be explain by that it was late at night at the end of a long tournament.

Well, Dark did say he practiced against the AI in preparation for the GSL finals, so maybe there is something to the idea
AdministratorHey HP can you redo everything youve ever done because i have a small complaint?
