It's still a little difficult to determine just how good Serral actually is. Him dominating in WCS is impressive, but the GSL is undoubtedly at the next level. Having now seen him handle Innovation and Dark... he is putting doubts to rest. The man might be the best zerg in the world at the moment.
If he does win against Stats, he'll have won the GSL vs. The World tournament by beating pretty much the best Terran, Zerg, and Protoss in Korea in back-to-back series, and have more WCS points than the next five or six players on the Circuit. Some people will question it because he didn't beat Maru, but come on, Maru isn't as invincible as it seems, based on his 3-2 against soO and 1-3 against Stats. What will be interesting is the Maru vs. Serral match at the very end of the tournament. It's a Bo1, so it doesn't mean much (anyone can beat anyone in a Bo1), but if Serral does win it, there will be no more questions. Serral will be the best player in the world. If Serral loses, well, people will continue to speculate endlessly about what would've happened in a Maru vs. Serral final series. Debates will rage, but it'll be really hard to argue with Serral's tournament performance.
The details on Serrals play is magnificent for example look at 47:30 the spine is blocking the left side instead of the right side meaning Dark is forced to mine from the mineral patches where there are less minerals forcing Dark to make a hole to his own base
[spoiler] WOW! Stats vs Serral... who could've imagined it? An actual foreigner vs korean finals in the GSL vs the world event.. amazing. And also, Stats finally killing the terran king. This has been an amazing tournament already.
Josef Blank, he isn't wrong. Grrrr was strong - but he never was 'winning every single WCS major tournament in the entire year, then going to a GSL and winning the event too' strong, not close. There hasn't been a foreigner that I can ever remember, and I have watched the scene for a very long time - that has had the kind of year Serral has. Sure, some of them had great years, won some items, and others - but it wasn't nearly as dominant of a fashion as this.
Ethereal Hunterling, with all due respect to those people, no - they weren't this kind of threat that Serral is. Non of them where what might be considered Bonjwa - Serral is. So no, Idra HuK, Naniwa, Scarlett - even at their best were not at such a high level.
Now that SC is dying slowly because of stupid FPS games being popular, its nice to see a champion like never before. The best player the world has ever seen. No one has done what Serral has done....WCS Montreal will be the Milestone for Serral. He will be honored the best ever
I love how they were building Dark up to be an untouchable god. I heard Serral won the turrny but against Dark like this... Oh my fucking God this feels so fucking good.
Serral would be more happy about defeating every Korean across the world then winning a world championship. Also, we’ve seen how Serral plays against Toss. That’s saying A LOT.
spoiler: I don't remember the last time there was this much of a match upset. The non korean sc2 progamers feel like their only coming into their own now. I hope serral does not lose his nerve after seeing how much expectation people are placing on him.
If he didn't lose his nerve facing INnoVation and Dark, I don't think he's going to suddenly lose his nerve against Stats. He's well used to the big stages by now, with his current streak of tournament wins and taking down legendary Koreans. If anything, I think Stats is more likely to feel the pressure as Korea's honor is at stake, and he's said already that he doesn't feel too confident against Zerg (and this is when he expected to possibly face Dark).
I wonder, does the commentors control the ingame "camera" themselves? or they comment the game based in someone else moving the ingame "camera" and what is happening?
There is an observer, who is actually Shine, the pro from StarCraft broodwar. The casters have no control over which areas of the map and situations in the match are seen
Yeah I realized that with the time. The casters are good regardless. My only bother is how in korea tournaments the "show hp and energy bar" option is disabled. But in Montreal tournament is on. I prefer it on of course but I guess thats upto the observer.
All year people have been saying "how well will he do vs the top Koreans on home turf?" We've got our answer. His ZvP vs a defensive protoss is best in the world. Stats will need to get cheesey to win this finals
Keep in mind that Serral does not usually lose to cheese, he can play a defensive yet economic style the moment a quick all in or rush is detected and his previous match vs has in Wcs was good practice for this
Actually finns were considered non-white for their "mongolian" roots back in the day in USA. So you kind of have a point. Well, even when finns are whiter than the whites in USA :p
who cares if he is foreign or not, serral is good. though i must say, most other foreign players in this tournament are on average weaker than serral and the korean players.
I suppose it's a bit like boxers who say dumb shit before they get bopped. Koreans sc2 players tend to smack talk. Maybe they're encouraged to. Serral just gets on with it.
"We have Korean's, We have non-Koreans And then we have Serral." FIRST ITS WCS NEXT ITS GSL NOW ONTO BLIZZCON... THE SERRAL'S JUGGERNAUT WARSHIP COMETH TO PLUNDER AND TAKE YOUR GOLD ALIKE. RIP Dark Also the announcer guy at the end looked like he wanted to punch Serral in the face wtf?
Looking at how rouge performed against innovation and comparing it to what serral did to him, it seems artosis doesn`t want to see how insanely good serral is
ikki itsuki Maru isn't taking it seriously until it's the Koreans against the foreigners. Maru owns Serral countless time especially since the latest top tournament WESG where Maru slapped and own Serral!! But those fan boys are pretty funny!!
Can some one please teach the Korean broadcasting noobs to not use songs with lyrics while some one is being interviewed its not only bm it also makes it hard to understand what the person being interviewed is saying ( teach em basic radio/tv boradcasting logic rly >_
43:22 hit that from the back, or you can hit it from behind 43:44 that's how i like to play staar craft. i leave my defenses open so some one can hit thaat from the back
Very surprised that Dark loses. I mean Serral is the one of the best zerg but dark is one of a kind. Tactics of z v z in Korea is kinda simplified these days so that's the one reason. And it is during GSL so maybe dark doesn't want to show his tactics here rather than show off

Currently, I would rank Maru #1, Serral #2 if he beats Stats.
Serral Beat stats in best of 7 and beat maru in a best of 1. Kaze what would you say now?
Geoffrey Stevens if Serral beats maru in a best of 7 then he would be the best player in the world
42:15 "The Koreans have dominated it from start to finnish"
Dark has always been my boy, but Serral… he just deserves this. He's a demi god
The details on Serrals play is magnificent for example look at 47:30 the spine is blocking the left side instead of the right side meaning Dark is forced to mine from the mineral patches where there are less minerals forcing Dark to make a hole to his own base

WOW! Stats vs Serral... who could've imagined it? An actual foreigner vs korean finals in the GSL vs the world event.. amazing. And also, Stats finally killing the terran king. This has been an amazing tournament already.
Maru vs. soO was one of the best series of the year, but this series blew it away.
Solution: ROK gives Serral honorary Korean citizenship so that they're no longer loosing to foreigners.
the guy from Finland is the first non-Korean player to play at such a high level, Respect
Doom Day to win* now onto blizzcon
Well u are wrong grrrr, was the first one, and hes a leagend in korean, none korean he is
Josef Blank, he isn't wrong. Grrrr was strong - but he never was 'winning every single WCS major tournament in the entire year, then going to a GSL and winning the event too' strong, not close.

Idra, Huk, Naniwa, Scarlett

hubris is real.. nicely done by Serral, truly the best player in the world as of now
Two favorite Zs to watch. What a series
babycankles297 3 series ftw
Rotterdam has always been my favorite commentator outside Tastosis the casting archon
So satisfying to see the smug wiped off Dark's face. Finally.
Don't hate on the koreans. They were requested to smacktalk before the interview. It's all scripted
Louroux HS dont hate to say it but you got smacked in your own house and sat naked on your sofa
We are finally getting payback for the warcrimes of the koreans in the finno-korean hyperwar.
Lol
Love this music from GSL vs the World tournament. I wish there was a playlist
Serral is an Overmind in human form! Crazy!
Cool PowerWolf cover at the beginning
Now that SC is dying slowly because of stupid FPS games being popular, its nice to see a champion like never before. The best player the world has ever seen. No one has done what Serral has done....WCS Montreal will be the Milestone for Serral. He will be honored the best ever
WTF youtube blocking this clip in Sweden?
Speed metal and some Starcraft 2?
Aw, hell yeah.
Kinda dissapointed that he isn't facing Maru. But I guess they will meet up at the team match up.
And Serral did what Serral does. No weaknesses.
Carpet Climber one close match isn't enough
I feel that's not a close match... It feels that Maru couldn't even fight back, not even one blow...
26:15 torille! I'm amazed Artosis understands that concept. Props!
What is the intro music?!
I love how they were building Dark up to be an untouchable god.
I heard Serral won the turrny but against Dark like this... Oh my fucking God this feels so fucking good.
Serral would be more happy about defeating every Korean across the world then winning a world championship. Also, we’ve seen how Serral plays against Toss. That’s saying A LOT.
Dark was so arrogant. he must change the says : I understand why they lose to foreign players. Espesially, Serral.
Whats the song when Serral is doing his interview pls :)
These songs are ?
Well, now that we’ve seen Blizzcon, we know how good Serral really is.
What was the song of the beginning?
Pls
normally hate zvz. but this was probably one of the best matches i've ever seeen.. #KINGSERRAL
50:17 YES! Gurri speaking some English. :3 Gurri is so awesome!
People complain that Z is imba, cause an non-Korean destroyed Korean terrans... Yet Serral destroys Korean Zergs as well in mirror matches...
Is tasteless related to taserface?
I know it's off topic, but can someone tell me the name of the music that's played pre-game?
Get the shazam app.
The song is called Shazam - In the App Store.
they have a GSL radio station
Aman Singh singh you high bro
Army of the Night by Amaranthe, the original song is from Powerwolf
In Korea, zergs are underpowered except for Rogue and Dark so they never have to play and ZvZs. That showed today.
but we can say this about other world too
thats not the excuse for them
Imagine if Life was still playing.
Kaze hed still be cheating lmao
Wait, when did zvz become a fun matchup?
ZvZ has always been the best mirror match. It goes ZvZ > TvT > PvP. It's a knife fight in a telephone booth, man. How can you not be entertained?
I never liked ZvZ when it was all Ling-Bane on 1-2 Hatcheries, but this stuff is entertaining as hell! I still think TvT is the best (always was).
ZvZ has always been the worst. TvT has always been the best mirror match, SPECIALLY in Broodwar, the best RTS game of all time
Game 1 5:38
Thx 👍

That Powerwolf remix intro...holy shit.
I watched this and I'm a Terran player woot woot
NatTech that’s rerarded
pls dont gay

한국인이 한 중계는 없는건가요? ㅠㅡㅠ
This is insider information, Serral is adopted, his parents are asians.
Actually finns were considered non-white for their "mongolian" roots back in the day in USA. So you kind of have a point. Well, even when finns are whiter than the whites in USA :p
I don't know why they lose to foreign players. Seriously, I don't understand.
Cause they are weak and they will be destroyed in the next years. Just wait and see what will happen when more money will be in esports.
Why do progamers say things that end up making them the butt of jokes for ages? Seriously, I don't understand.
who cares if he is foreign or not, serral is good. though i must say, most other foreign players in this tournament are on average weaker than serral and the korean players.
it's not foreigners. it's serral. he's from a planet far away
I suppose it's a bit like boxers who say dumb shit before they get bopped. Koreans sc2 players tend to smack talk. Maybe they're encouraged to. Serral just gets on with it.
"Today you have released me Ricky Bobby."
"We have Korean's,
We have non-Koreans
And then we have Serral."
FIRST ITS WCS
NEXT ITS GSL
NOW ONTO BLIZZCON...
THE SERRAL'S JUGGERNAUT WARSHIP COMETH TO PLUNDER AND TAKE YOUR GOLD ALIKE.
RIP Dark
Also the announcer guy at the end looked like he wanted to punch Serral in the face wtf?
Looking at how rouge performed against innovation and comparing it to what serral did to him, it seems artosis doesn`t want to see how insanely good serral is
insanely good is not enough to describe him... he is just too Serral...
Artosis will always be jealous of successful foreigners lol. Or he doesn't want to put his Artosis Curse on him
Rogue's been off his game for a few months now, so it's not a good comparison point.
But beating innovation 3-0 is sick regardless.
LOL , Dark you will be ashamed of the Korean school
Doom Day where did Dark say it everybody is talking about Dark said something?
Please link
12:16 that overseer play.
Maru u have to be frightning, arent you?
Firt maru interview: i dont think serral will make it to the finals.
Serral is sooo good!
song name in begining? 0:00 - 0:30
Amaranthe: Army of the night
thx :)
the original is from powerwolf - army of the night
what year do we have? is your shazam not working or is there something else going on with you?
serral rather be closer to akward translater rather than that fine korean interviewer lady
yes LOL
Because korean girls are plastic
wow, this guys is on fire
The Night King!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GREAT ZvZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this male translator looks pissed that he has to translate this english speaking foreigner
Serral = GOD
Rafael Hungria lol drug boy Serral god, that's laughable, as Maru owns him again and again, Maru=GOD!
lucky for him Maru did not make it to the final.
ikki itsuki Maru isn't taking it seriously until it's the Koreans against the foreigners. Maru owns Serral countless time especially since the latest top tournament WESG where Maru slapped and own Serral!! But those fan boys are pretty funny!!
Do you even maths?
Serral > God
@@kcx-kx8qd hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
is no one else dying at "hit that from the back" at 43:18?
24:57 😂
Serral must be training in North Korea
i think Stats and Serral will be a good match, if Maru goes to the final, we all know the result.
yeah, just like we knew the results when Maru made it to the Bizzcon grand finals....
SERRAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
43:22 43:44. If you know what I mean...
Andrew 😂😂😂😂😂
I don't get it. ??
You're not old enough to understand then o.O
Is it anything sexual?
12:15, watch the bane in the top right corner
HAHAHAHAHAHA That was too funny man
Can some one please teach the Korean broadcasting noobs to not use songs with lyrics while some one is being interviewed its not only bm it also makes it hard to understand what the person being interviewed is saying ( teach em basic radio/tv boradcasting logic rly >_
low odds high probability, high odds low probability.
It rhymes with bark.
Dark looks darker after the game.
I think zerg wins this matchup 100%
Tarek Drissi no shit sherlock
wahhmann123 calm yourself its a joke
zerg imba, won again :-(
Not true in ZvZ zerg has a 50% winrate.
The hosts (not the announcers) are terrible. Looks like they are on sedatives. So emotionless and robotic. How did these people get the job lol?
Torilla leijutaan
EZ4ENCE
43:22 hit that from the back, or you can hit it from behind 43:44 that's how i like to play staar craft. i leave my defenses open so some one can hit thaat from the back
24:57 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
my goodness
man that korean girl is gorgious. Has a manlier voice than serral tho lo; but the finnish accent could be to blame.
Spoiler:
Dumbledore dies.
DEH
Serral will beat Stats. Probably 4-0.
Oof
they repeat Non-Korean, in the pass Korean players worse nightmare to the other. They got me as well, over 8years to now I dont play any.
Korean~~~~ why~~~~~
Who is this noob dark? scrub?
Serral is so awkward, its like, talk with pride not fear my friend
J Aleen Interviews with an audience is obviously not his thing.
Very surprised that Dark loses. I mean Serral is the one of the best zerg but dark is one of a kind. Tactics of z v z in Korea is kinda simplified these days so that's the one reason. And it is during GSL so maybe dark doesn't want to show his tactics here rather than show off
쩝 너무 발렸네 저저전은 뭔가 재미가 읎어

The tournament is rigged so that to create the illusion of competiveness between Korea vs Non-Korean. They need K and Non-K for an "epic" final...
