"Neeb is the last foreigner hope and Stats is really really really good at the video game."
Sounds about right.

he doesn't die to all ins and doesn't all in that much so it forces macro games most of the time. His play is not that entertaining (being super solid isn't fun to watch) but what he forces out of his opponent makes great games.

A ro8 finish by Serral and a semifinals spot by ence makes us want to kill ourselves as they're incredible disappointments. celebrating a ro8 for serral. this is the new norm I mean losing in a close ro8 series isn't quite as bad as getting knocked out in the group stage (like Maru for example). It was sure to happen at some point, what's more of a question is if he keeps on struggling now like Neeb did in 2018. Is that an alt for that herwo guy who got repeatedly banned from the results thread for yesterday? Pretty sure you're right.

Yeah best player usually has the most entertaining games. I remember in 2017, INnoVation had many of the best games and in 2018, Serral had many too. Dark and TY kind of play interesting macro styles so they also have a lot of really good games.

Yeah, and look what I said earlier in this thread:

I kinda want Serral to lose. I find predictability boring, and last year's Maru/Serral was only interesting in the promised confrontation at Blizzcon. Then Maru choked. Never been in this position with regards to a foreigner though, so that's funny.

Always.
When he was at this greatest shape, his zvz was 80%. He won his only premier event champion over Dark, which is also a consistent top-tier zerg.

I'm just glad that this tournament showed how much of patch terrans maru and innovation really are

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 Now the break is over and its down to 35k
I think bigger problem will be. How they are going to get csgo crowd hyped? At least they know ENCE.
