Although I know that's hard for him to do since he's still so young.
Reynor intended to go to Korea but his BlizzCon spot was at risk, you will see him play Code S since he openly declared he wants to.

Congratz Reynor! Badass games! Serral was great but you was better!
Good for the scene.

It's just a general observation because he does a lot better against Dark and other Korean zerg who I think are stronger than Reynor in ZvZ.
Edit: The rest was just saying that he seemed not at 100%. Reynor is good but in terms of offline vs Korean winrate he's a lot weaker than Serral so I feel like Serral has a weakness against Reynor.

Game 4 took Serral for an all expenses covered trip to tilt town.

It would have been very appropriate, to be honest.

Forgets roach speed twice - still wins. Big Serral fan boy here, but nice to see Raynor get his first big win. Very likeable. But as he himself mentions, he has a long way to go before he is as consistent as Serral.

Nobody had and Serral started from a huge advantage in 2018. Your hate for Serral blinds you.

Wins WCS Spring, makes grand finals of Summer, you only feel like he’s a top player. No he IS a top player and will continue to be a top player until he consistently gets knocked out before RO8, which hasn’t happened in 18 months.
Grats to Reynor though, very well deserved for an awesome kid. Finally topples Serral and I cannot wait to see him at Blizzcon!

He might not have another chance because who the hell knows if Blizzard puts up any esports money for SC2 in 2020. We almost didn't get anything this year. (there is no other explanation for why everything was announced so late which caused a super condensed schedule)

Reynor convincingly beat Solar at HSC, I am not sure korean Zerg are better than him in ZvZ(I tend to think it's actually the opposite); I hope for a Dark vs Reynor match at GSL vs The World, that would be very interesting.

Reynor is 17. Moving to a foreign nation for long term is sometimes not automatic for someone his age.

that's possible. Reynor hasn't played very many games against Korean zerg so I guess we'll have to wait for GSL vs the World.

Previous occasions matches were much more closer (even when Serral lost). Reynor is really evolved in his game, and I assume he knows Serral's game inside-out.
Seldom Serral lose games making himself look that "handless" than tonight.
Now its Serral turn to study his young usurper.

Wait Reynor won holy shit I stopped watching after Neeb vs Serral because I thought it was decided

Riccardo can't move to Korea for longer than few weeks in Summer because he attends school in Italy and will not skip it.

Kitchen psychologists everywhere LOL is that the Finnish version of the english expression "Armchair psychologist?" Indeed it is lol maybe I could've chosen my words better but I genuinely feel like Serral is not as clutch as in the past. Same thing happened to Jaedong after he kept losing to Flash. He never won a really big tournament after 2010.
Serral in 2019 is not as clutch, for sure, and not as strong as he was when he reached his peak; he has been downgraded to untouchable god to very top player, probably still the best. Unlike Jaedong, Serral still wins tournament now, he just loses series and finals.
Reynor(as every other foreigner not named Serral) is not as strong in non mirror matchups.
