The schedule of it all is really my only actual criticism about this whole tournament. And even more so than just this starting extremely late for all the players in Korea, China, Taiwan and ANZ (though this doesn't really matter as long as Risky wins ANZ), ESL gotta make sure the next season finals don't happen in the middle of the Code S Ro16. Because with every Korean player in the season finals still in Code S I can't help but feel this tournament is an afterthought for half the players in it (one in particular seeing today's GSL results).
I'm sure they it can be arranged with Afreeca to take a one week break after the Ro28 next time. But I think Apollo at some point mentioned they'll collect feedback after the season concludes.

It isn't the first time an international event has a scheduling conflict with GSL, but you'd think that particularly with an online event they could have avoided it better. The time, well, not much to do about that. It's scheduled for optimal viewership in EU/US. It'd be fairer to the players if they played at EU 10AM or so, but the US viewer base is all fast asleep then. Korean so imba that they can not only play cross-server, but cross-group  Wasn't implying Heromarine played vs Inno.

Special played Maru yesterday, not Inno (unless we're living in some cross-alternate universe). I guess Maru played so bad that he must've named himself Inno at some point...

Maru beat Inno in a bo5 in supertournament but they trade games, basically. Cure has a rough record vs Maru. And I love how TL conveniently forgets Maru absolutely stomping Reynor at WCG. Offline Maru probably doesn't ever drop a series to Reynor.
But no big deal. This has been such a sloppy tournament, I doubt the Koreans still in GSL we to reveal any specially prepared builds, just not worth it. Look at TY's build choice, it's an apt demonstration of said mindset.

Are we all thinking Reynor can win against Innovation? I think Serral vs TY will be close given how close they have been in the past.

TY isn't in his GSL winning form and he should have a hard time bamboozling Serral with his cheeky builds. Inno vs Reynor will be interesting in terms of how well Reynor can deal with the mech at this point.

It's incredible how stubborn people can be when Maru is involved.
Cure is 5-4 in matches and 10-9 in games against Maru and Maru was almost always stronger than Cure was. Maru has a losing record against Inno. Reynor was way weaker when he faced Maru last year, now he is a top player and he should be perfectly capable of beating Maru offline.
TY looked shaky in Code S as well.

I think it’ll be amazingly close. Can’t wait!

Reynor was way weaker when he faced Maru last year, now he is a top player and he should be perfectly capable of beating Maru offline. Are there any results that actually show Reynor is a ton better than he was last year? Or are you just going by the eye test? He qualified for that WCG by beating Serral in the first place (funny point actually that's probably the only case of Serral losing a match to dodge Maru )
Feels like stomping all of the foreigners and going even against Serral has pretty much been Reynor's thing since forever, no real change in that this year.
edit: reminds me of 2018 when people said Serral wasn't in top form when he played Maru, despite his results outside of that match being just as good then as ever.
