Probably yeah but some foreigners are close no?

Do you see any other foreigners in this top 12?

I forgot that you’re only a top foreigner if you make top 12 in whatever IEM is currently in progress

you can be a top foreigner and wont get close to touching serral

Scarlett is literally sitting in top 8 of GSL

Good for her. She also didn't even qualify for this tournmanet. Eliminated by TRUE and Guru

I didn’t know this IEM was the be all end all lmao

I’m getting a lot of blowback from Serral fans which is puzzling because I have literally only said nice things about him. I made a mere suggestion that some foreigners may be close to him

Honestly, Serral's the best foreigner right now by a pretty significant margin. He shitstomped more or less everyone in WCS; he won the event with, like, 3 losses the whole way. Now he's trashing koreans, too, having won sets vs Trap, Zest, Rogue and Impact. You can't really say 'yeah, but Scarlett is top 8 in korea' because she's one of the few foreigners to really dedicate herself to GSL, so it's not an equal comparison. However, with Scarlett disappointing at both WCS and IEM, and Neeb not quite finding himself, Serral's left as the best foreigner by far right now. They can catch up - but it's going to be hard if Serral keeps this up.

I mean can we really knock Scarlett for dedicating herself to the most prestigious league? Surely then we must give her leave to lose elsewhere for not being “dedicated” to those tournaments because she’s focused on Korea

I guess she was also very dedicated to Korea when Hurricane knocked her out in ro32 and she wasn't winning jackshit abroad. The last month isn't just a fluke.


Oh she was very dedicated then i imagine. The difference between then and now seems more one of nerves

That didn’t really address my argument at all. “Dedicated to Korea” were his words not mine

I'm not saying that to talk down at Scarlett - I still think she's top 3 in the west and I actually put her above Serral going into this tournament. I just think it's unfair to say "yeah, but she's doing really well in GSL" when no other big name foreigner is playing in GSL, so who knows how they would've done. Considering how poorly INno, Rogue and Zest have played vs zerg recently (and the fact that Serral has beat 2/3 of them, while the other completely bombed this tournament), it's tough to hold those three sets up and say "Yes, she is the best in the west due to this". Her IEM Pyeongchang run was as good as her WCS and IEM WC runs were bad, so that somewhat evens out to me.

I think we’ve gone too far down this rabbit hole. I was just tryna say that while Serral is currently the top foreigner there are a few foreigners who are fairly close. I think we mostly agree so we should probably stop now lol

She's third behind Serral and Neeb

Fair enough


After that it gets harder to call, probably Special and Showtime, uThermal and Elazer not far behind.

Serral needs to try and qualify for GSL. Train in the foreigner house even. Korea could do wonders for him.

Probably later in the year like last year. Was on the top of ladder, and it did good for his ZvT.

Hopefully will try GSL also though.
why even
