The PiG Show is a deep dive into who progamers are and what it's like trying to climb to the very top of the most brutal game in the world. In this episode PiG has a far reaching discussion with the record breaking 2018 world champion, Serral. Topics discussed include Serral's early years and background, his approach to practice and improvement, the importance he places on replays, picking the right engagements and strategies, his thoughts on a variety of builds, scouting, and Serral's personal routine.

Serral is the most zen, dispassionate, strictly business "Do what works" pragmatist in the scene. Great interview <3
