    These 2 have the be the best caster ever. Whatever sport or esport or anything you watch. The way that they never interrupt each other but continue talking is very impressive and only something you can do after you have worked with someone for many years.

    Imagine if you had these commentators commentating your life: The alarm goes off at 8AM, it's another standard day here in California. John decides to hit the snooze button but this is going to really cost him later on. He doesn't know his boss Sam is preparing to talk about lateness in the team in this month's team review. John finally gets up and decides to get a coffee. Unfortunately, he spills it and has to change his shirt. This is going to cost him another 3 minutes. On the other side of the town, Sam is getting into his car already....

    As a Korean who is a fan of StarCraft, I feel very good. As non-Korean gamers win the StarCraft 1 tier tournament such that WCS Global Finals, I hope that the world knows that StarCraft is not a game that only Koreans can play. I would like to thank Serral. It was a good match to know his greatness.

    As a Starcraft fan and Korean I've been watching SC1, SC2 since 20 years ago. Serral is unbeatable, he's just perfect..now i hope to see a lot more international gamers like him compete against Korean gamers..and maybe someday we don't need to separate Korean vs others anymore. Also it's too bad that Reynor couldn't make to Blizcon this time. Well anyway now SC2 is getting more interesting than ever. Thank you Serral, you've rewrote the Starcraft history.

      Agreed. Serral was so used to losing, that losing isn't a big deal. Most pros are afraid to lose. And if you're afraid to lose, you can't become your best. I wonder if Serral's brother would have been better than Serral if he had stuck with pro gaming.

      Zerg probably has the highest skill ceiling, but those who reach it (Serral and Rogue) are almost unstoppable. Creep reveals entire map, boosts unit speed, zerg can tech swap to counter what they fighting, each hatchery can have up to 19 larva, that's almost 100 units ready to remax with 5 bases. The Zerg late game game potential is almost limitless.

    god this was an interesting series, the skills on this finnish man is just awe-inspiring, after all my years as a sc fan to see a scandinavian dominate this hard woul've never come to mind as a scandinavian. Though the only thing that makes me sad is that TotalBiscuit was not here to see it, after all his years of supporting the community wanting foreigners to fight on the same level as koreans consistently, it truly is a shame that the man that kept my love for this game going so strong for so long didn't get to see this incredible piece of SC history.

    The last the game was, in the lightest description possible, HELLISHLY BRUTAL.
    - Very conservative and not pushing his luck
    - Picks apart army and economy where he can
    - Deny's any harass and takes out options for harass
    - Even though has slow, powerful units, he uses his fast units to his advantage to take expensive units from Stats
    - Constantly thinking about his economy and saving up
    AND very important that a lot of people seem to not be paying attention to
    - He keeps upgrading to not only have the harass, army size, and economy advantage but the tech advantage as well!!!!
    In-fkin-sane match. Honestly, if he retired here, I would be 100% okay with that at this point. This match made me so happy live and now when I replayed it. History is made. GG

He is the ultimative zergplayer. but it's not the race, it's his talent. he would be the ultimative terran or toss if that would be his races. Serral is the prove that SC2 is a game of player skills for about 90%. 9 % balance issues, and 1 % luck. about. look how Maru looks nowadays. like a schoolboy compared to Serral. but it is not a balance issue.

    in match against Dark and Rogue, he have shown how effective he play. From the equal force he can make Dark lost 1/3 of his force when he only lost for 1/5
    maybe there would be different if he met with SOS which more tricky in playing rushing which have been prove very effective against Maru but in long play, there would be Serral
