But basically yeah none of DRG / SpeCial / Scarlett would have been considered top 1-8 in this ro16 yet one is guaranteed to get in the top 8. I understand how this can annoy some. | ||

It makes ro16 Group A always really underwhelming since it's a freebie for the champion, aside of guaranteeing one of the 3 or 4 worst players in the ro16 to make ro8. | ||

I don't think the 2 base spire build is that good against the early stim/2nd rax build. It's mostly effective against hellion-based greedy macro builds like the classic 3cc reactor hellions opener. | ||

Watching Scarlett refuse to make an Overseer against Tunneling Claws Widow Mines, and try and transition into Hydralisks which lacked any upgrades while TY just took over the map. All Scarlett had going for her was her runbys which honestly didn't mean much because of how far ahead he was the entire game in army supply. | ||

They ve never realy tried to point out how early- (mid-) game advantages translate into mid (late-) game and always make it seem like both players are even until one is super dead. Wich is good in terms of excitement but often times leads some more casual viewers to just blame balance, when in reality the losing player was slacking behind from the beginning, because of bad opener/ build order counter/ early damage/ whatever | ||

The best best build vs 2h muta is CC rax CC rax fact starport (3cc 211). Regular 211 is still a massive BO advantage since it takes away all advantages and timing windows 2h muta has over a Terran. | ||

For the winner of the group; I might be failing to reocgnize DRG's current impressive form, but I expect him to knocked out in the next round. He will probably be the weakest player in a longer series if you look at the final three groups lineup. All of the players liable to make it out are Code S champions or S tiers players as is. His performance today thrives in part on some of the weaknesses of his opponents as much as it does stellar form on his own part. Even if this seems too pessismistic considering his play today, making it to the quarterfinals of code s is always an indicator of a certain level of play. | ||

Special is the king of looking great and then making dumb mistakes. It’s really frustrating to watch when he’s your favorite player haha. The games vs DRG and Scarlett looked pretty bad. Then he looked overall very good against TY, but it’s TY. I’d be excited for him in the season finals since his TvT was looking good and half the players are T, but unfortunately the Terran in his group is Maru lol | ||

Sad about Scarlett and Special though at the same time, the games were all pretty good so can't complain about that! | ||

Sometimes I do wonder why though... Hasn't Scarlett and Special been in Korean for a few years now? I believe SC to be a skills-based game (or games), you'd have thought that they would have better showing than that? (or over the years in GSL?) That being said though, DRG and TY today are more than worthy advancers (Actually that all being said, you'd wonder how well would someone like Serral do in GSL, don't you? Would love for that to happen  ) | ||

Scarlett and Special went to the ro16 of Code S, that alone is appreciable and shouldn't be regarded as "sucking"; you also have to take into consideration they are far from being the best foreigners. As for Serral, how would someone with 70% + wr in maps and 82% wr in series against koreans since 2018 perform in Code S in your opinion? | ||

I’m sure that’s happened before but I haven’t seen it (at least when it’s your third) yeah, the orbital moved a bit further than it needed to, 5 scvs camped right in front of creep | ||

I think a GSL is - purely from the format - a dfferent story than most other tournaments. Today, Scarlett didn't play very well unfortunately. DRG on the other side was impressively strong. I wonder how far he can get this tournament. | ||

Create a virtual tournament. You could take the runner up from last GSL, find out all the opponents he played, match serral against all the same opponents, and then see the overall chance of him getting through to the final, and of course winning that final match :D. Would be interesting. | ||

Rogue has 3 world chmapionship titles with much worse stats while Serral has epic 1. Maybe the map stats and match stats are useless in the terms of judging a player. And it's not like Serral didn't participate in them tournaments. Actually Rogue won both Katowice titles while Serral was there The 2nd IEM WC title with SErral having them statsorz!!! | ||

Of course map and match stats are useful to understand the caliber of a player(it's not like Serral has been a choker and he hasn't won titles, either). On topic, what was this pointless bait? The point is that foreigners definitely do not suck in 2020 and that Serral would have performed in Code S like the star player he is, without any doubt. | ||
