Low key I'm hoping Classic wins the whole thing. Would be a nice last thing before the military.

Yeah guys, someone brave enough needs to take TheDougler down this year!


I will do it.


Dang I saw Dave's post first. Hmm, would you two be willing to decide together what my signature will be? It can mention both of you. Otherwise I'll give it to you GettingIt as you commented first and have the higher post count.

Sorry buddy, but the other guy did beat you to it. Lets see if GettingIt replies though, if not I'll happily take you up on it instead .

If only Serral wasn't a chicken and stop playing the minor leagues. "He doesn't wanna leave his home". BS.
I am not against his decision of not joining Code S and continue playing in the junior league. However, that should mean that he can never be the best player since objectively most of the best players are still in Korea, and he has lost IEM, WESG, ROG. Best foreigner sure.


If you need to be the one who wins everything then there are no best player and you have to see "Koreans" as one player and instead as a group of individuals. No individual Korean did better than Serral, but as a group... Yeah sure they did xD and they always will.

I think playing to have fun and win money, not to satisfy a group of demeaning critics who are becoming more and more irrelevant is smarter. So he should do what he wants :-)


Nah, you're making up words. What I said that he should join Code S and stop messing around in the Circuit. NOT play all the tournaments. Again, I am not against him having fun, winning money and messing around beating foreigners; this is just my argument against calling him the best.

> No individual Korean did better than Serral, but as a group... Yeah sure they did xD and they always will.

Exactly, and that is why Serral needs to play in Code S. It is where he can prove it. He has disproven it with his losses in the premier tournaments mentioned previously. His Blizzcon win is great, but he is not breaking any record here.

I do not however agree that he did better than any individual Korean. In 2018 he got destroyed by Maru in WESG. He then played against Has, Mana, Showtime, Raynor? Compared that to playing against Dark, TY, Stats, Rogue, and a bunch more way better than Mana.

Gosh, listen to yourself, and your previous comments. "Making up words". You're extremely rude and disrespectful, there is no serious discussion to be had as long as that is how you act.

Here is the difference between a respectful fan of the sport and a snarky elitist:
Fan of sport: "I wish x player would play in x tournament, because I want to see x play against the best!"
You: "Serral is a chicken who gets destroyed by Koreans".

Okay, you don't want to call him the best? Fine, you don't have to. I personally believe he is the best right now, but not by a huge margin (which is why he doesn't win everything). I'm not going to be demeaning to Koreans to prove my point. And to you, I have to prove nothing.

Anyway, I want a terran to win so go Maru!

Its funny how hard everybody is counting soO and Trap out and even Classic. They are all dangerous opponents and have a legit shot.
Why so serious?

Smart for them to have Maru at the bottom, so a lot of people will watch till something like midnight before not watching if it ends up an all zerg semi.

I hope Maru will play at a decent time, and a soO upset would be fun
Trap upsetting Reynor would be nice as well


Trap beating Reynor wouldn't be a big upset considering how the spaghetti boy did vs herO.
I'll cheer for him tho !

Ever koreans as a whole did worse than Serral during his ascent in 2018, let alone individual ones; I'll repeat ad nauseam that Maru beat him before he completed the last step to greatness, that is being able to win premier tournaments over the best korean players.

In 2019, Serral stepped down from being the absolute dominator of Sc2, merely becoming one of the best players in the world. He was defeated by koreans and Reynor but he still retained absurd consistency in his deep runs; you would be praising Serral, no doubt, if you weren't blinded by your obtuse korean elitism.

Starting with GSL vs the World, Serral hasn't lost a single series yet and he is looking like the best in the world once again. I would like to see him play in Code S but there is no need for that to call Serral the best: results speak for themselves, the rest is just bias.

On topic, I like Orlok's bracket the most.

Dream: Maru vs Serral in the finals playing the best they’re ever played - with one of them still standing when the dust settles.

Nightmare: ZvZ final or even - yikes - all Z ro4

It happened in April 2018, it was actually the previous Nation Wars. soO eliminated Serral at IEM Katowice but got swept at HSC, this year; soO's ZvZ hasn't looking outstanding in the current patch while Serral seems super deadly.
All elements would point toward an "easy" victory for Serral, but I am convinced soO will play better than he recently did.

Your definition of "recent" is rather interesting ^^

Still, I think the games will be close but in the end Serral will outplay soO in every game cause soO's play right now seems a bit sloppy at times while Serral's is crisp to the point

It's either Serral 3-0 soO or soO upset Serral, I don't see it as a close 3-2 victory for Serral (but if soO upsets Serral it would be close indeed) ; because if soO wins it's because of destiny as at IEM Katowice.

I am so hyped for the first ever back-to-back world champion.

I've never understood the blind fanboyism and obsession football (EU) enthusiasts exude - until now...

I'm a Serral fanboy and proud of it!

Edit: "Who will emerge victorious on November 1st and claim StarCraft II's grandest prize?" seems as if the finals will conclude on the 1st of November. However, semifinals and Grand Final are on November 2nd.

This has the potential to be the worst blizzcon in history.
I hope maru, trap or classic wins in the first round to save the tournament.

Im betting on Serral vs. Rogue finals. Both are in form (well, Serral is pretty much always in form), while Maru had a mixed year and Dark showed some weaknesses in the group stage. Winning narrowly 3-2 against Showtime and soO makes me think he will drop out against one of the even higher calibre players left in his path.
If Serral vs. Rogue will happen, I think even Rogues stellar bo7 winrate will not safe him from losing to Serral again.
