Now you are getting desperate, including online games against the likes of "nado", "chankim" , "ArcLiTe", "Gyulzzing" and other really low level players. Like holy shit i am no serral fan by any means, i am a big maru fan actually, but why not give credit where it's due? | ||

The fact you're unable to find a better streak is really telling. Rogue's 2017 pales in comparison to Serral's 2018/2019 in terms of consistency. | ||

I just went by the statistic the other guy defined as the ultimate indicator of how dominant someone is aka winrate against koreans. Personally I don't think either statistic means much and the only thing that matters are actual tournament results. I give Serral the credit of being one of the most dominant players ever on the same level as Maru, Inno, Life, Zest and Rogue. I'm not convinced he deserves further credit. | ||

Some like to point out their peaks while ignoring their troughs, and then say, "See! No way Serra even close to goat." Oh look! Rogue, Maru, Innovation...NoOoOo. My Korean idols! Aaaaah brain explodes ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/rtX8CYA.jpg) ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/xhAXEZx.jpg) If you can cherry pick info to make some players look good, I can cherry pick info to make them look less than mediocre, as well. Now, try to find any example of Serral falling anywhere near that low in performance in the past 2.5 years. I'll wait. No, really, give it a strong effort. Some Einstein even calling win % vs Koreans "cherry picked," while he cherry picks tournament wins. LOL It can't get much more retarded than that...eh, who am I kiddin. Yeah winning as Terran was even harder back then than now. That’s what makes Maru special as well, he is the savior of terran and only hope among Koreans. | ||

I thought that's what we were discussing. Are you saying that because we didn't know in August 2018 that Serral would still be dominating the scene in Sept 2019, his domination in August 2018 is somehow diminished? The dude has been #1 for a solid year. I was just surprised upon reflection how long it's actually been that I've been assuming he would be #1 in the next PR. | ||

Its a well-known internet tactics where once your serious attempt to argue fails due to lack of facts and the opponents come with stronger arguments you pretend it was a troll all along. He made so many contradictions to himself its not worth it anymore. I guess its pretty sad to be one of the only 3 people who don't accept the reality. | ||

Denial is part of the recovery/acceptance process for those 3 people. I'm afraid another Blizzcon victory and title of undisputed GOAT for Serral might be the final straw for them | ||

Also since this isn't BW, there will never be a Bonjwa. But we can use words like "this dude got serraled into oblivion" or "wow he defended this attack perfect, almost serralesque" | ||

Charo - love your enthusiasm, but I think it's useless. | ||

This IS unprecedented. But Reynor should still make the list - maybe No. 10. Koreans have failed in this GSL vs. The World in general so maybe it's time to reduce the significance of recent not best results against them. | ||

I agree, the same can be said to Maru while Serral is even more complex because he doesn't participate to gsl. | ||

Serral now is more skilled then Life, MVP or Innovation were at their peak. But some would argue that is is an unfair comparison since any sport is typically at a higher level now then it was previously. For instance, even though Messi is more skilled compared to Maradona, Maradona dominated his time period more than Messi ever will. So even if we compare players to their own time time I would say Serral dominates more than Life, MVP or Innovation did. Did any of those player reach and hold peak skill as long as Serral has done? Also people overestimate the GSL. GSL vs the World had a foreigner vs foreigner final so being the best in Korea does not mean as much now when foreigners have catched up. Serral dominates both WCS and most tournaments with koreans, which is more than what Maru or any other korean does. | ||

Yup GOAT worthy. But feel free to keep holding on that thought "GSL > everything" mentality. | ||
