Korean terrans not publicly playing mech is not surprising, in fact I think it is an intelligent move if mech is more powerful. They do not want Serral and other european Zergs to study their best option, and/or Blizzard to start considering nerfs. If it is really the best option, we'll see it in Katowice. | ||

I thought about that at first, but I concluded it can't be that because if mech is really op, they wouldn't bother hiding it since even if the zerg opponent knows it's coming, he has fewer chances of winning, right? So if terrans want to "hide" their mech by not playing it in tournaments with some cashprize (although relatively small), in fear of it being countered at IEM Katowice otherwise, then it's not op. Like do you remember pros avoiding playing nyduses+swarm host or whatever last year in online tournaments? I don't think so. | ||

Any chance we can get you to open your mind to other races as well? They do still exist, at least outside of the winners circle that is. lmao so passive aggressive, lighten up there isn't some kind of conspiracy theory going on here | ||

Serral hasn't yet done the first one, but has done the latter two and been successful against Innovation and Cure's mech builds. Since Serral has chalked this down to those players having made costly mistakes, it makes me wonder if he'll be as lucky in the future once Terrans have their mech-based plays fully hammered out. Exciting times we're in! | ||

Why would be a joke, it's a general principle of any RTS, certainly true for SC, and most prevalent among races/play-styles that tend to favor longer games | ||

And that he would have never won anything if people didn't fuck up all the time. Also the Korean Terrans don't play mech every game because they don't think it's actually that much better (if at all) than bio. And since no big offline events have happened in months, all you can base meta comments on is online cups. And the meta there has some swings every other week. | ||

Isn't it usually just "don't die?" That's pretty good advice, isn't it? How did I never think of this before? Thanks for the interview ^_^ | ||

He’s never generally really been the most cocky person in his answers, in general Serral trends towards the falsely modest camp. Maybe he does actually believe it though, many high-achievers can greatly underplay their own chops and perhaps it stops them from being complacent. | ||
