and I just know herO is going to protoss the shit out of soO
Shame that they aren't even earlier, I have to leave around noon. Well, I could let other people drive and watch, but I am not sure that would be a good opener to 5 days of social interaction with said people ...

He had maybe the best zvz ever outside of Serral during his first final run in 2013-14 but then it turn out he couldn't be Rogue in a zvz to save his life. Still one of the great zvz player of all time, I would put him right behind Serral

why cheer for anyone... ? unless you mean "why do people have bias for foreigners".
for me, there is a basis in the history of brood war and of starcraft 2. foreigners have always been underdogs, and I love rooting for underdogs

After TY lost the stream lost about 6k viewers, so not even close. And how many after serral lost? is the 12k figure factual? Mainstream down from 50k to 38k +other language streams has nothing to do with the break there's now

Lol, don't discuss this topic with Charoisaur. His mind has been set, cast in titanium and sunk through the litosphere subduction.

Whenever Serral falls behind, he plays so cost efficiently and always gets great surrounds. There's no other player as difficult to beat by cheesing or closing a late game. His only weakness is 100-200 supply mark (mid game basically) and that is saying a lot since his mid-game is probably one of the best.

You should know by now. yeah I guess, if its a foreigner winning its the biggest thing ever and if its not well might as well talk about the foreigner anyways

Check Liquipedia (link in the OP). The small "i" next to each match in brackets has the info - this is the most universally reliable way to know this for every tournament.

Now that Serral is gone, are we just gonna go back to 3-0 sweeps for this tournament. For whatever reason, Serral's existence in a game makes for entertaining, scrappy games.

not to mention that this is the first time a foreigner is the best player in the world so obviously people are going to tune in and cheer for him, how is that weird I do not understand

historically he's still an underdog in the context of "can the foreigner continue this unbelievable streak?!?!"
but in this thread it looked like most people were rooting for soo, anyways
I wasn't invested, myself. But I do want neeb to win the tournament (and if not him, soo). But I think Stats will win.

time for Stats to stamp out the last foreigner
