I realized what is so frustrating for me. Watching live TvZ. I usually catch vods and can fast-forward to the 6 min mark. Up until then, tvz is just about queens defending hellions/reapers/banshees/BCs (did I forget something?). Hellions trying and failing to hinder creep, and the larvae can be dedicated all to droning. So the game does not start until 6-7 mins and 70 drones. | ||

Well, yeah, since 2017 only Serral and Reynor won tournaments outside Korea. Or am I missing a tournament? | ||

It's not the race. Reynor is simply that much better than clem. Clem isn't "exactly like him but with the better race" It's not a knock against clem either. But one has to acknowledge how good reynor is. | ||

Maybe, just possibly, we are blessed with two individuals in Reynor and Serral that are just better players. Them being same age doesn't mean they're supposed to be at the same skill level at all. In KR I don't think Terran is getting severely outmatched by Zergs in the last 3 years, are they? And those guys were, pre Serrals appearence, dominating everything. Z and T both are incredibly hard races to play at high level, just look how many Zergs there are that get owned by Gabe and Clem all the time and the same thing other way around. | ||

That's ridiculous, Reynor was always better than Clem. Or has zerg just been overpowered for all of LotV? People need to stop making claims like this, it's so disrespectful towards the players. Some people are always gonna be better than others, that's the nature of any competition | ||

Serral and Reynor do. Not Zerg. Or was Terran imbalanced because Terran won all the GSL's in 2018? | ||

But zerg always wins! (I'm kidding.) Seriously: Reynor is the most talented player I've seen in quite some time. He's not only got the mechanical skill, he also has become quite composed under pressure and shows great decision making in his games. He's a monster. Clem looked insanely good as well, he lacked strategic depth in some games, but we're talking about games in which he was doing non stop multi pronged aggression, while defending against runbys constantly. He just didn't find a solution to Reynor's adaptive reactions after the start. | ||

The 3 players that have dominated the most since LotVs release have been Serral, Reynor and Rogue. No correlation there besides pure casuality. | ||
