Any recommended matches?
both Trap vs Dark series. The rest is very dispensable : Trap vs herO was a pretty dull PvP and NoRegreT got outclassed left and right.

Oh well, all expected players move on. Feel bad for Trap. He is a good player. | ||

We should encourage foreign pros to participate again and not try to shame them of their performance / praise KR too much imo (not everybody does it but there is clearly a double standard sometimes) | ||

But Nestea, IIRC. | ||

But Nestea, IIRC. I am talking about Open Seasons: FruitDealer, NesTea, MC. Iirc Mvp under performed in these events compared to what he was meant to become. In the first three seasons respectively the mvp terran (haha) was Rainbow, then MarineKing and Rain, not mvp | ||

But be real here, NoRgret's style is why I never root for him while I very much enjoy Elazer, Scarlett, TIME and Major's performances at GSL. They played solid games with great macro/micro skills and mixed some cheese here and there. They (minus Major) didn't get out but they showed the skills which are on pair with Koreans. Just need to polish a bit better. Cheesy play can get you so far until the point it makes you like you didn't know how to play the game properly. What to improve in cheesy games? Cheese better? Be more cheesy? I'm sorry but no thank you. | ||

If the guy that posted is genuine about being a fan of NoRegret, he should be careful with what he says publicly / try to create a virtuous circle of kindness instead of a vicious / toxic one imho. About NoRegret style being legitimate to cheer for, that's not the point so I don't know what to say about it? | ||
