In Korea? We'll see, I guess. I could see them ending up even in Ro8. Internationally? Definitely, Zerg got Serral and Reynor :-P

Trap could win a GSL if he never has to play a Zerg.

He's said it for a long time though, he always prefers the early match times. Plus if you watch how he looks when he's streaming at late hours I'm sure we can agree that he shouldn't even be allowed to drive 
In any case I wouldn't have high expectations for a slumping TY vs Serral at an offline event.

Serral and Reynor look so strong compared to KR Zergs Yes(? Serral and Reynor have been the top 2 for a while now, I think besides Blizzcon 2019 all tournaments they played where won by them and most of 2018. I'm sure there was another I'm forgetting but Serral - Reynor finals are so common I don't even bother watching when it gets to that point. Do you even watch the game? 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. Serral won two GSL vs the Worlds in this period. He could have won Blizzcon I think but Reynor took him out in a tight series. Reynor made a Blizzcon final too. Which is a runners up rather than a tournament win but it’s still huge. Even if they’re not winning everything, they’re not placing too badly in any of these tournaments really. Serral still made the finals at WESG and played a really tight 7 game series against Inno. Katowice for whatever reason foreigners haven’t performed too well, but they have great results elsewhere. Honestly not sure why this is. Reynor made Ro16 in GSL quite some time ago before he couldn’t even compete in WCS and I’m pretty sure it’s commonly accepted he’s a much better player now.
I'm not saying they're bad. They are probably the best Zergs currently especially with the way Innovation bopped Dark last night. Just the comment I replied to was ridiculously inaccurate.

So if the terran players hunt down all the zergs there's a chance. That's how asymmetric tournament balancing works.
