They're both definitely top 10 players and probably even top 5 players, but until offline tournaments resume we won't know for sure. Nice bait man, nice bait. | ||

I mean everyone can have early exits sometimes (like Rogue Season 1 2020 or Maru Season 2 2019) but I think its absolutly reasonable to count them as absolute title contenders, if they play GSL. Just like 4-6 other players as well. I think I heard somewhere, that Reynor want s to go to Kr again, once the whole Corona situation is resolved. Will be amazing to see him in Group Nominations bantering with the other Koreans :D | ||

Goes well with not winning anything for just as long. Also I disliked it at the time since I was never a fan of him but better sOs wins Blizzcon 2015 in game 7 than the alternative. | ||

No one is guaranteed to win 100%. Are they the 2 best players in the world at the moment? Yes I absolutly think so. | ||

Serral was always ahead on workers count. Reynor is suddenly the one with higher drone count now every game vs Serral. Serral is going for overly aggressive strategies, and it's not working too well against Reynor, because Reynor's army control and defensive ability frankly looks better than Serral's. | ||

Serral won with a defense in game 4 and actually pulled off a great defense in game 1 before ruining the follow up. I feel Serral has much better odds taking it to a longer game instead of these all ins. | ||

He's proving that Aligulac doesn't care about your pro-GSL bias. Reynor has been collecting code S heads lately, just as his rating predicts. I’m sure some people believed/said that for sure. It’s kind of hard to devise a system that accounts for the difference between premier offline tournies, weekly online cups and all sorts of other factors. Hell now we’ve got online plus cross server being more common in the Covid world. I think most rate Reynor as a contender in most tournaments on his day now, exciting if he does indeed decamp to Code S when Covid dies down. Him having a higher peak rating than Serral is a bit silly though. | ||
