Another power rank upset today in Zest > Serral. PR still holding strong 5/6 times tho, and the upsets have been within a difference of 3 positions.

right

Even though Power Rank isn't supposed to be a prediction of the final standings I'll just pretend it was

Serral is having trouble proving he is #3 in Europe right now, certainly not #2 in a field with Koreans. Reynor was right when he said people don't respect him even when he's playing better than Serral(which has been the case for the whole year). Trap has been great as usual. The eye test shows its an amazing streak, i'm sure a number cruncher could back that up.

Trap being No 1 was right
He had a winning record against everyone he played in the tourney and tied with Reynor in map wins against each other.

Until Clem consistently beats Korean Protoss's he wont be better overall than Serral, even if he has his number in the TvZ matchup. Reynor/Serral > Clem > Showtime/Lambo/Heromarine imo.
You're getting cynical and that won't do I'd throw the rose tint back on the exploded view

Hot take to say the guy who won 2 non region locked premiers(WC included) this year isn't better than the guy who didn't make season finals coming from Europe. Sure you can respect Serral's history but there isn't any convincing argument for Serral being an S class player right now other than his history.
Also i don't even know what to say about the ''korean protoss'' argument, is sweeping Zoun twice better than wins over Zest and Trap?

I mean losing to Cure and Zest is certainly not a deal-breaker

No need to get hot and bothered. Going out in a ZvZ is not indicative of any thing. I would take Serral's chances in a premiere tourney to get farther than Clem any day of the week. He's still overall a more solid player at this point. But Clem has the potential of eclipsing both him and Reynor for sure.

Serral didn't go out in a ZvZ in either of the premier tournaments that just ended.

I was referring to the he didnt even get to the EU finals, he not the top 3 EU claim. Zest beating him 3-1 was surprising for sure.

There aren't honestly that many "S" class players this year, (almost) everyone is really inconsistent. I'd say Rogue, Maru, Reynor, and Trap are in a tier of their own this year, while the next pack would be like Serral/Zest/Clem/Cure/Dark in no particular order. I'd still favor Serral to advance further than Clem in a tournament with Koreans just because I think he's still better versus Terran and Protoss than Clem, but Clem is much better at European tournaments so Clem vs Serral can be argued either way.

So basically in any upcoming premier tournaments in this year:

- If Reynor/Serral faces Clem: they are dead.
- If Clem faces S-tier Korean Terran/Protoss: he is dead.

and Neeb

also, who said Serral isn't top 3? the top 3 of Europe are literally Serral/Clem/Reynor in no particular order
