Maru got stats'd, you give Maru a road with only Z & T and then he'd either have to hit Serral or TY to have a chance at defeat. Stats HAD to avoid PvP basically, he's favoured vs everyone else even Serral. Dark got ZvZ'd, it's his worst MU, and EU ZvZ is STRONK, I think mostly from training with Serral. So that's 3 of the strongest KR contenders basically getting really really bad bracket luck, the other top Koreans were all eliminated by... Serral, it looks one sided, but all you have to do is go back to ASUS ROG to see total korean domination ( Serral being the exception). Honestly even after this tournament, if you were to rate the top 8 players, it'd be Serral #1 followed by 7 Koreans. Plz calm down with the recency bias, GSL is still stronger than WCS. Agreed 100% | ||

I guess INnoVation maybe? I wouldn’t go as far as crash maybe, I can’t think of anyone who consistently I feel played the best Starcraft at a tournament but doesn’t actually win like Stats does | ||

Many of the best games recently have been ZvZ: Serral vs Reynor at Montreal, Serral vs Rogue at Blizzcon, even Elazer vs Dark at this tournament. On the other hand we have TvT which sucks these days, and who wants to watch Protoss? ZvZ is literally the worst matchup in the game. PvT is by far the best matchup. The best games of 2019 featured Protoss ( Maru bs stats at super tournament, and serral vs stats at ASUS) | ||
