Is it rly so confusing that byun rises so quickly again? I mean his 2016 was basically him coming back after disappearing for 4 years and just being on top.

True but still he basically then 2015 came back from disappearing and just was onm top of his game really quick.

but people told me we're in the highest skilled era ever and all players are constantly improving so it's surprising that he closes the gap this quickly after returning from military.


Byun wwas actively playing in the weekends still, had multiple accounts in the top10 months before he officially returned.. But do you actually think 5+ years ago players were better?!?!

5 years ago was 2015 which was the peak of the korean scene where they played Proleague every week.
So yes.


They played quite a bit worse back then even if the scene was more vigorous. It's the "standing on the shoulders of giants" thing.

Maybe ByuN has worse wrists, but better nolifer style, so he's more used to them late hours?

LotV rewards multitasking more so it looks like they play "better" but I think back then they were more refined and did less sloppy mistakes

to name one example I don't see players splitting nowadays as well as Dream did back then

Did just Maru wounded 3 SCVs on purpose to kill more with the drop? And casters missed it?

TvT finals? Should the baneling nerf be reverted?

Yes

Also a Protoss nerf of some sort is recommended. Better be safe

I mean everyone asked in this tournament said protoss is imba, i think a nerf is warranted.

Maybe the issue is at the Protoss player level. Protoss lost the most skill IMO in the army


Protoss was barely winning anything even before they lost all those players to the army though.

Protoss players just stopped caring before it was meta

They were hitting rock bottom before the others but it was way more efficient when Dustin Browder was in charge.

Missed every single game before the finals.

Anyone know how Byun beat Serral and Maru beat Reynor? Seems unbelievable but shit happens.

UNBELIEVABLE. Maru played Reynor 7 times and won 5 times(this game included). Whou would have thought he can do it...

Edit> ByuN is 3:1 against Serral UNBELIEVABLE

I d love to see Byun win this now, only for the sake of All the other millitary returners. It would be a beakon of hope for Players like Classic, Soo or Hero.


Byun's occupation in the army allowed him to train more and better. DRG's example is probably more fitting!

Byun got ahead with some interesting builds and mindgames, Maru just looked better when he played straight up.

The guy is a troll if you didn't realize it.
Counting series that took place when Maru was a much better player than Reynor are misleading, they are 1-1 in 2020.

EDIT: Byun and Hurricane are the ONLY active koreans who are ahead of Serral in the h2h(I am not considering Bomber or TaeJa); isn't that more unbelievable?
