Closest to beat Serral in the last patch, obviously, Frost.

Why would they care. Creator's out, but there's still a fight for top 2 at the group so it makes sense they keep on talking about that. Also makes sense to talk about Reynor in this because he's playing pretty well :D


Well the past hour made me not like him a little more thanks to the over hype. Well, not a big loss, I'm ignoring the foreigner scene anyway(except for HSC and I will probably skip the next days too)

You want some congratulations on that? Nobody's going not to praise someone, because it rubs some random guy with entitlement issues on the Internet the wrong way.

Agree with you - but guys like Reynor make it feel that Serral isn't just some extreme outlier, that there might be depth in this foreign resurgence. He beat Innovation pretty handily as well this event.

I agree Reynor is likely to become a real threat to top Koreans like Serral has but at least for next year, I'd say it's going to stay about the same. After that, well, unfortunately the Korean scene will probably get weaker because of no new blood and the old guard will have to do their military service at some point so..

Reynor is not guaranteed 1st yet. If he loses 0-2 to Elazer he will have +7 while INno has +8 mapscore

Nope, just saying how it affects me.


Edit> and i will miss HSC because of work, not because of them being unable to shut up about Serral or Reynor.

Serral can't be a patchzerg because nobody was more successful than him with the race last patch xD

I'm just telling the truth, he was a top player in the first half of last year and totally unbeatable(offline) in the second half; most likely due to him objectively improving.

You have to understand the excitement surrounding Serral and Reynor; wouldn't you be excited if you didn't know they were not korean?

He lost to Maru and Classic before the patch and won after the patch. Isn't that a definition of a patch helping a player? Thus making said player a patchzerg(in this case)

(also let's not forget that another close player to beating Serral was Stats in the GSL super tounament)

I don't have to understand anything if I don't want to

Anyway, I'm just joking around because of how some stupid people use the patchzerg about Rogue. I guess I have to thanks TL for that

Well if we learned something, if yo urig the bracket you will get a disappointing result, so I hope they won't rig it so it can happen(anywhere on the way)

Yeah. I just think it's important Reynor proves he can win ZvZ against top tier Zerg players before 2019.

A Patchzerg is someone worth nothing suddenly finding success due to some patch favoring the race, not a top player supposedly taking advantage of favorable meta/maps/patch(why Serral and not Dark or Rogue, if that is the case?).

Both Reynor and Stats went 3-4 against Serral but g7 in Montreal was arguably closer.

If you don't want to understand, the fault is yours entirely and the overhype is the appropriate retaliation xd

First of all, learn to quote, please. I'm not sure if you're reacting to me or not, it's late here and I;'m half working

Second... YOU MUST BE JOKING!!!! Have you read this thread. Have yuou missed this one?
https://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/530039-the-emperor-has-no-clothes-rogues-future-legacy

Even the TL writing stuff authorize an article which is naming Rogue a patchzerg. You must be kidding C'mon, check this thread how people are naming him patch zerg. Even I wrote that it is the reason why I called out Serral.

I already have little hype left for foreigners beating koreans because most koreans are well past their peak and every foreigner beating a korean accelerates the death of the korean scene (early knocked out players more likely to retire etc)
"Cheering" for new foreign hopes that make it even harder for the remaining koreans to earn money and force them to military sooner is weird imo.
I mean you can of course cheer for him because you like him or because he's a great talent but nowadays I think it's weird for someone to specificially want foreigners to beat koreans.
