If you trim the weaker Koreans, Serral played Rogue, Impact, Zest, Trap, Classic twice and Maru (and soO). You can try to argue against Zest/Impact but they're still Code S tier. When I say trimming weaker Koreans from Stephano's results I mean guys like ReaL, JYP, Heart, GanZi, Rain, Daisy, KeeN, Revival, TheStC, CranK. These guys were fringe Code S at best in 2012, and Stephano played 18 sets vs them that year. That's a third of his sets vs Koreans. | ||

I like Heromarine but he isn't even on the same level as a Keen or aLive or Bunny. The best korean zergs (soO, dark, solar) struggle to beat TY/Maru/Inno a lot of the time, and they get constant practice against them. I wouldn't have much confidence in Serral | ||

? You disagree that Serral is far better than the other players? Not dropping a map thus far seems to indicate that pretty clearly. | ||

LucifroN? VortiX? BabyKnight? You can't act as those guys are on another level compared to the likes of uThermal, Elazer, SpeCial, Snute, TRUE, Scarlett. | ||

No, but the entire post reeks of your annoying, abrasive "fuck wcs" attitude like you had nothing better to do in your spare time than ragging on something nobody who reads your posts can change as if the god almighty was going to smite Blizzard down and paint words "CHAROSAIR WAS RIGHT, REGION LOCK KILLED SC2" on the sky | ||

Yea but at least there were some Koreans in the foreign scene tournaments back then to show some competitive matches | ||

Zest made more Ro8s than every korean I listed for Stephano combined, and Impact is still a pretty solid player. Just gotten some unfortunate luck having to face against Classic/Stats/soO/TY in Code S Ro32. | ||

I disagree with you calling the foreign scene a joke, yes Serral is dominant so far and is favourite to win but the skill level in the foreign scene is closer to Korea than it has ever been and the overall skill level is higher than its ever been. Foreigners can't take a map off Serral because he is as good as top Korean zergs. | ||

Region-lock obv didn't kill sc2 but I don't think the WCS events with Serral (and Neeb last year) just winning everything are turning out as Blizzard expected. It just bores me that nobody can challenge the good players. | ||
