that one was bad, Jaedong definitely had caster bias behind him, I loved when sOs crushed Jaedong there

I wouldn't dispute that foreigners are overhyped sometimes by casters, but I think someone like sOs (as much as I love him) is far more unjustifiably hyped by casters than Serral or Reynor.

This opening TvT match has been fantastic strategically and pacing wise. Cant believe how much the foreigners Terrans have climbed to be able to match step for step someone like Maru.

"Foreigners vs koreans" seems to have been translated to "good boys vs bad boys" in these casts. Casters clearly favour foreigners. This is not surprising given the viewership in korea vs the rest. Perhaps they think that this narrative increases the viewership.
Tastosis would not accept it IMHO.

Well Apollo is the mastermind hiring them, so of course this would happen

I could see why Serral was so hyped back in the day because he was pushing through a real glass ceiling, but he's long since pushed through it and others have followed in his wake. It's not hyping some david v goliath showdown if both of the players are goliaths. I was pretty tolerant of foreign bias as it did usually fit within the parameters of rooting for the underdog, which does resonate with plenty of people and does build a story. Nowadays it makes very little sense to be framing some matchups in that manner.

But I mean there's no excuse to let Stats get knocked out of possibly his last tournament without mentioning his forthcoming enforced break from the game and this being possibly his last shot at glory. Part of what made Classic's last Blizzcon run so memorable was that everyone knew he was laying it on the line one last time and made the ballsiness of his blink DT build so much more hyped.

I hope the casting for this game is alright, for whatever reason I find the Heromarine bias the consistently most insufferable in the scene,

ZG is pretty good about not being biased, and there's no zerg so Pig won't be biased lol

Yeah at this point Serral should mainly be praised for being extremely consistent and a contender in every tournament he enters. Hyping the foreigner aspect of Clem is fair because of the history of foreign terran.

Interesting that there is no neeb on this, but yeah scarlett really was the worst offender to me (maybe also because her dominant phases later on were always on the back of strats i felt were pretty op and she instantly fell off the face of the earth after they got nerfed).
