Cyan: Stats wasn’t a player that anybody really expected to see in the finals. Do you feel that he was underrated?

Serral: Maybe a little bit. I think that he’s solid but he’s lacking a bit in PvZ. So that’s why people may have underestimated him a bit but his PvT and PvP are very good. He got the bracket with only Protosses and Terrans so I think that’s why he made it so far.

Cyan: It seemed like you were getting a little bit emotional on stage as you raised the trophy. So many people in the crowd and around the world were as well. This is an indescribable moment for so StarCraft fans. What does this all mean to you?

Serral: I mean (laughs) how can I say how much it means to me? It means a ton to me obviously, this is basically a perfect year for me. I didn’t lose in any tournament. It means everything to me, this is what every StarCraft 2 player dreams of.
