To qualify for Serral-con, you should have to have beaten Serral.
We should invite DeMusliM too, and they should supplement the prize money with free beer.

1000 WCS points can potentially allow some of these players to compete for almost $200k.

Furthermore: Group A is structured such way that Serral practically meets first two of those guys who know him best: Lambo The Royal Trainer and ZhugeLiAng The Second-in-Command, The Arch-spar at the Finnish front.

While there is considerable difference in level of competition between the God-King and his closest courtiers, these guys can possibly make some damage to Serral's run only by psychological factors involved in those match-ups.

Third one in the group is then Innovation, The GOAT of SC2. You can expect anything from him.


zhugeliang is like 0-infinity against Serral :[

lambo too (although he plays close series/games)


Yep. Poor Zhuge. I hope he takes a map against Serral as he himself hoped too (in interview during latest Artificial Overmind event).

Btw, I forgot to praise your article. Good read. Good read.

Round of 16 Group A was a group of death.

They kind of insulted Zest on the cast. They compared him to a Twilight character.
(Edit. It was not meant as an insult.)

This event has been awesome. So glad Assembly invited sc2 back! I am going to buy all ASUS ROG gear as soon as my current hardware gives out (sometime this year). The promotional material looks good, the product features are nice, but more importantly, I like to support brands that support sc2.

I really liked this tournament. Great PvZ from Stats, great run from Solar. Glad to see all the races winning tournaments. I really appreciated Rotti & Hajins hosting, Reynor on the desk, Indy & mapus observing, Harstem & Lambos casting. Nice tournament!

Time vs Serral was probably the best series tbh

You see Rogue played online Stats. Offline Stats is the real monster.

Stats vs Serral blew Time vs Serral out of the water

Time had some magnificent bio micro but that's about it. Otherwise, his inexperience showed, and serral was playing subpar to begin with.

Stats vs Serral was some of the highest level starcraft Ive ever seen.

In 7 games you watched Stats change from the Shield of Aiur to The Spear of Adun

It's sad that Solar didn't get a descriptive write-up in the beginning. He certainly paid back the lack of attention in style, making it to the finals.

Stats-Solar was so fun to watch. I'm checking out Stats-Serral later on.

I agree with you that Solar is probably underrated. That's a problem with GSL being so cutthroat. The write-up was meant as a humorous narrative about "rivals" of Serral at Serral-con. That is a flaw of taking such a perspective, because it is hard to include Solar and other players in such a story.

I have not been following the SC2 scene for that long. The casters that I tend to like seem to be casters from the old guard. Some of the new casters can be really bad. I won't name names here. Perhaps one remedy though is to have players do some casting, once they have been eliminated from tournaments. For example, Lambo was one of the casters for a match at Serral-con. At least by having players do some casting, then the casters actually know something about the game.
Edit. It possibly also helps to supplement player income. The very top players, one does not really worry about them. However, the middle class of players, sometimes I wonder how well they do. I'd rather more of the money go to players, than to clueless casters.
It was nice to hear the commentary from Lambo.

Agreed. English can be difficulty for some players that prevent proper acting in a role of commentator, but it would maybe possible get even more higher quality player-pool to participate by paying something for double-role.

Overall, I think casting of this tournament was good, and I think its not very nice to pour shit upon any caster; twitch chat was shameful in this matter. How many of these whiners could do better themselves?

Regarding "How many of these whiners could do better themselves?," I do not find that a valid excuse for excusing bad casting. I also do not think that should protect bad casters from being criticized.
However, I thought that the casting at Serral-con was generally fine.*

I thought the Lambo cast was pretty informative. I want to hear more stuff like that, during a cast.
It was cool to hear Solar doing some of his interview in English too.

* Edit: I am referring to the main stream here.
