Morning everyone. Missed anything good so far? I see Stats choked, that's weird

Scarlett lost 0-2 to Guru


How the fuck?

Is she out now?

Just played at the usual average foreigner level :D.
She's in LB now.


How do you go from S-class to losing to Guru?


People will say she played at her usual level here, the wins against sOs and Inno were the real anomalies.

I think it's safe to say she underperformed, but this kind of result would not have been a suprise a couple months ago.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

My theory is she's dropped to the lower bracket to cleanse it of the unworthy. Yep, that's my story and I'm sticking to it... (Lol. Least I didn't get my hopes up this time. I suspect we'll only get one non-korean qualifying for group stages. Probably Snute or Kelazhur).
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Creator, Trust, and Leenock all in the lower bracket early on is sad. Especially for Trust who probably invested a lot into going there.

I think Serral has also a really good change besides Snute(who has a great bracket)

Serral going against TRUE or Leenock, either one of them would be very winnable.

People are saying that the gap between foreigners and Koreans narrowed. I think it's more that Koreans aren't as good as they were before. They don't have a team or a coach behind them anymore I don't think?

I think the bigger factor is that most of them are competing for almost a decade now and are slowly getting old and slow.
They don't necessarily need a coach, the WCS koreans in 2013/14 still dominated foreigners.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

The number of Korean players is simply declining. Meanwhile, we have some foreigners that weren't good or even there a few years ago.

Tbh I think Neeb and Serral are the most skilled foreigners we ever had and could've been competitive during the Kespa era.
But yeah obv the korean scene isn't what it used to be.

So the last group was Terran and this one is Zerg?
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.
