According to his latest YouTube video, TY wakes up at 3PM and goes to eat lunch at the PCBang at 4PM, I think he's fine

Reynor has yet to win anything besides foreigner only events. Serral and Reynor have not won any of the 3 IEMs since 2018. Serral won 1 of the 2 Blizzcons. They won neither WESG. They obviously haven't won or participated in any GSL events. They didn't win ASUS ROG. You must only watch homestory cups and WCS/ESL if you actually believe what you just typed. Reynor made a Blizzcon final too. Which is a runners up rather than a tournament win but it’s still huge. Yeah but let's be honest that blizzcon was a 4 man tournament between Serral, Reynor, Dark, and Rogue.

Katowice for whatever reason foreigners haven’t performed too well, but they have great results elsewhere. Honestly not sure why this is. Katowice is a numbers game, its the only time you have all of the best koreans vs the foreigners. In those events like GSL vs the World you only have 8 koreans for example, or 3 in WeSG. So those 2 or 3 foreigners with a chance are likely to get deeper.

There are just not enough top zerg in kr, compared to other races.
Top zerg in kr you only have Dark and Rogue Top terran you have Maru, Inno, TY, Cure + Byun coming back later this year

If there’s a top tier of the absolute best players in a race, Serral and Reynor are in that tier and that’s pretty unique yeah. We’ve had Neeb having a period as a top Protoss and Serral being Serral. Having two in that ‘S’ bracket at the same time is pretty damn unique though I think. Exciting times for the foreign scene. Both TIME and Clem definitely have the potential to maybe ascend from being top foreign Terrans into top Terrans outright too. I wouldn't put Dark with the others. The reality is that even an out of shape Dark with fucked up wrists is a top 4 Zerg in the world.
I find Solar more solid. And he is quite below the other 3 in my book even if Rogue doesn't have that much showing recently.

Reynor and Serral, at the moment, probably are the two best Zerg in the world. Reading your comments one would think this tournament is played on the EU server, koreans aren't the only one who play with ping.

Yeah. It hardly matters if you think Dark or Rogue is better or worse than Reynor or Serral, since the Protoss has slim chances regardless.

Maybe TY doesn't like working from home.

I think ping hurts Terran more than it hurts Zerg though, even if both are probably playing with similar ping. Maybe against heavy widow mine styles it's about equal?

PiG casting at 3 AM his time D:

Idk how many times this needs to be said but when you have to play with ping I'm taking zerg over terran 100% of the time

His wrists seem to have exploded, sadly.
For a period of his GSL win, Ro4 and the Blizzcon win he was the scariest Zerg of all and had more range than his competition.
Hopefully he can get back up there.

Remember when you were like 8 and hated getting up for school in the morning on weekdays, but somehow found a way to wake up at 7am for the cartoons every saturday? Wasn't that great, artosis?
