I just wish we had a tournaments where either Serral or Reynor don't win (or even theres a final without either of them).

Tournaments nowadays are either "Will eithef Serral or Reynor win" or (if they are Blizzcon or GSL vs the world) "Will some korean beat them in the finals"

Top 2 Korean players are not at HSC, I would dare to say top 3 considering vZ MU.


Thats exactly my point.

The foreign scene has become "See who wins in Serral vs Reynor, disregard the rest".

Koreans at least had some movement with 3 different protoss competing for top spot and the rise of Dark.


But what would you want to do about it? Tell Serral and Reynor to stop practicing and start playing worse so the other foreigners can catch up?
Those 2 are simply the best 2 foreigners by quite a big margin


I'm not convinced they would be dramatically better than Neeb/Special in a balanced meta. They'd still be favored but like 65-35 instead of 90-10

Be all you can be, become a cannoneer

e: no forge again... I guess Triton has a similar climate to Frost, maybe that feels more right to Zest?

I am starting to think that if you reach a certain level with Zerg, the core mechanics of production and map control makes it incredibly hard to stop. Nerfing zerg so much that Serral and Reynor are not dominant will probably make the race underpowered for everybody else.

We have seen similar issues with Terran also, notably with Byun and Maru.

Nah, it's not like they are dominating every tournament they join. They didn't win Blizzcon nor IEM, two of the biggest tournaments of the year while the Blizzcon was during a heavy Zerg favoring state of the game. (although another Zerg won it )
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

The first push of zest might have lacked archons but I was pretty sure it was gonna work, I guess I overtestimate stalkers without blink.
