Hate to be that guy but just a small correction.... Clem won against Serral 3:1 (as shown in the screenshot) and not 3:2 (as written in the article).

The top 10 nowadays is pretty stacked. Serral, Maru, Reynor, Clem, herO, Byun, Cure, Solar, Dark and MaxPax... All of them are always title contenders.


Between Serral and Maru there is like a 90% chance they win. All the others have a combined 10% chance IMO

I mean Reynor won the most important tournament that happened recently (at least money wise, but there is no more legacy tournaments except maybe Katowice anymore), so I don't think that's a fair statement
Plus I don't see Maru beat Serral on this patch/map pool, so he gotta pray that a zerg eliminates him beforehands, he is in the others with the combined 10% chance

I'd say if it's an important tournament (with enough prizepool etc.) it's 40% Serral - 40% Reynor - 20% rest of top players combined

Fair.
Reynor's big tournament beastmode is incredible. But if he can't find that mode he mostly "just" finishes top 8
Same with Maru (GSL mode) and Mary (non GSL mode).
And Serral got three modes:
Godlike make it look easy mode.
Slumpmode has to work for it, will probably still win every game but it's close and maybe he'll lose a ZvZ
WTF mode. Loses a close ZvT or god forbid a ZvP
Go Serral! GG EZ for Ence. Flashbang dance FTW

Now, this tournament is a perfect example why we cant take an individual tourney to gauge a player's ability. Had this tourney not been double bracket (in playoffs), Serral would have dropped out in Ro8, and Maru would have been top 12 instead of top4.

I said this tournament barely has an impact on whether or not he's the Goat.

It moves the needle, albeit slightly.

Serral’s entire claim is periods of dominance and relentless consistency. He can’t for example have any claim based on prospering at the peak era of competitiveness in the game’s history because he wasn’t there.

Also another two wins against Maru to further extend their H2H in his favour. Less significant if it were a minor tourney and it’s pushed it slightly in his favour, he’s really gapping Maru in this metric now.

As I’m on record as saying many times I don’t think you can crown a singular GOAT, too many incomparable eras and scenes really. If there was an SC2 version of BW Flash sure but we don’t really have that.

Serral’s certainly up there in that conversation, but I think he does increasingly have a hard to dispute claim as SC2’s most relentlessly consistent top level performer, and here’s another small piece of that jigsaw

Players play to a format, we can’t just retrospectively go back through and treat them as a single elim format or whatever.

It introduces various variables into the equation. Does every player play equally as well in a winner’s bracket where they know they have another life, versus one loss and you’re out single elim for example?

This tournament is a perfect example why single elimination tournaments are more exciting - in double elim tourneys you know Serral will most probably win, he almost never loses two matches in the same tourney unless he's in a real bad form.

He's the most consistent top performer but only in smaller events. In the GSL he never participated and in world championship tier events his record is okay but not as good as others.
Counting IEM Katowice, Blizzcon, WESG and gamers8 he has won 2 out 13 attempts which is good but not as good as sOs/Rogue. Considering he has never participated in the other highly prestigious circuit and factoring in the era he played in, I have a hard time calling him the de-facto Goat.
Tbf Neither Maru or Rogue can be called the de-facto Goat imo, I think there just isn't a Goat in sc2.

Forgot to watch and super late to reply to this, but congrats to Serral on adding yet another championship trophy.

Bummer for Clem to go 0-3 twice against ByuN and Maru after beating Serral in four games.

The tournament is small, but looking at the actual players he defeated along the way, it's one hell of the run. The top 4 Korean Terran in Maru, Byun, Cure and Gumiho, the best Korean Zerg in Dark, one of the best online Protoss in MaxPax. He went 20-3 on maps against some of the best players in the world.

One of the biggest arguments for Serral's GOAT claim is his domination over his peers. Aside of Rogue which has an equal h2h record with Serral, he holds a positive h2h record against literally every single top player in his era, and the ratio is mostly very one sided. You can talk about GSL all day but all those GSL players always get destroyed by Serral when they meet on international stage.

I mean, he got taken out of the world championship by a zerg that didn’t manage to qualify for this season of GSL.
Beating terrans and protoss as easily and still being that vulnerable to supposedly lesser zergs just smell like zerg being as strong as ever, although it’s impressive to do it consistently whereas players like Reynor only bother when there are huge sums of money

Similarly, he didn’t manage to carry Basilisk into a WTL win because of Solar, who is notorious for getting eliminated early on in the GSL over and over again
