Yeah Inno just played terrible here, while Reynor seems to be in top form. There is really no reason to balance whine after this...


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


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.

It's not just Serral and Reynor though. It's also Rogue and Dark.
4 Zergs who happen to be way better than all the best T/P players?
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Serral is the better player but it’s ridiculous that a Zerg can completely botch a massive all in in which half the queens die and still compete like that. And then blow up an army of robo stalker with banes

Yeah but Inno made many more mistakes vs Reynor so I'm not sure it's going to be as fun as before. Serral may just 3-0.

It's even dumber to walk on creep with your clumped up army just before +1 and colossus range finishes.

if serral beats that with the shroud the hype is real
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Zest hasn't really done much to deny expands though which is worrisome.
