There is nothing more impressive to me than winning Code S. Until Serral does that, he can't be the GOAT.

I can't understand how Maru can even be considered ahead of Serral after tonight.

Two 4-0 in 3 months, the second one being against Serral in service when Maru is supposed to be a full time player.

This is just shameful for him at this point.


If having Maru's skill is shameful, oh boy, how I wanted that shame for myself!!


It's shameful for a player like Maru who's arguably supposed to be the best player in the world to lose against a player who couldn't train as much as he's supposed to.

Especially in such a one-sided final when he also lost 4-0 just 3 months ago.


I understand advocating for your favorite player, but I find posts like these really distasteful. I'm sure Maru feels some level of angst that he can't bring the level of play he customarily displays to his series with Serral--you have no idea what goes on inside a player's head. While some posters don't argue in good faith with the GOAT discussions, which leads to hyperbolic posting in response, it baffles me when people attack a player (Maru or Serral) that has given this game and us thousands of hours of entertainment. It's a privilege to witness their insane talent, skill and dedication. Arguing with fans/forum heads is one thing, trying to cast shame on the second greatest or greatest player of all time is dumb.

My apologies for being out of the loop. Is Serral not playing full time? What's he up to?

Feels like the completly wrong thread for that question, but in short: Currently, Serral is fulfilling his military service in Finland. He is however still allowed to compete (there is a special "Athlete Unit" in the Finish Miliatry). So while he can't train freely as much as before and can't compete constantly, he is still able to do the important things, like going to the World Cup.

This debate could go on and on, but looks like Serral is RoaT (richest) right now.

Yes, but he is still not full time like others. Hard to believe it won't hurt him in the long run.
Why so serious?

You're close! According to the Wayback machine's archive of esportsearnings it looks like Serral passed Rogue for the #1 spot at the tail end of 2020 or the very start of 2021. So ~3.5 years
