Nahh they're just being realistic. ByuN mechanics are too powerful. Threre's no way to prepare for it really. Neeb played games against ByuN all day in practice and said he lost every map.

It's at 30k and change right now across all streams. On Thursday it was at 20k.

Ah cmon, pretty close series


Your responding to the guy who previously has denied that foreigners were catching up despite all data pointing to the contrary. Don't expect to get a reasonable comment.

Btw Elazer was also just on another skill level than Solar because the outcome of a bo1 proves everything


Foreigners or the best foreigners? In every matchup? Still some things to consider, but yes we can definitely look at these games and see that it's pretty close


Compare it to 2013. In 2013 I don't think I had a single foreigner on my top 20/top- 25 list.

Even before Kespa Cupt it was imo completely ridiculous to deny that foreigners had the gap had closed by quite a lot.

Well yeah as i said i definitely think that there are foreigners who can compete with the best koreans (or close to it) atm.

It's also not considered the world championship yet by most people. As well as the streams on MLG/Blizzard. And the fact that the big big names are fewer right now. Guys like MC, Life, Maru, Inno, sOs are best for bringing viewers

I always thought it was a bit absurd you can drop like 1/3 of your viewers during a break.

Defend the early pressure and then go 8 gate prism glave all in.

Byun looked problematic against 3 base, 50-55 probe 8 gate all ins.

It's 24k on main stream now but yeah I expected a bit more too. Don't think we will get over 40k on the main stream even next week.

Thats what happens when people KNOW the break will be 30min+...when you keep them low and sometimes break for 30min people will stay because they might even miss a whole series if they go.

Byun completely shut that build down in his GSL ro16 match against sOs.

The thing is, compared to TY, Dark, Zest etc. foreigners are actually used to playing against ByuN.

I think Nerchio would've had better chances vs ByuN than TY for example, just because they played against each other quite a bit over the year.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
