He made the Ro16 on his first attempt, who knows how far he could get if he spent as much time practicing there as Special and Scarlett. 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. | ||

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. | ||

It would have been very appropriate, to be honest. | ||

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! | ||

Scarlett and SpeCial played in GSL and this WCS event. If Reynor really wanted to, he could have made it work. 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. | ||

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

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

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. | ||
