I find that the bias towards some foreign players triggers me the most, especially when they don't have the results or are just playing decently well and not out-of-this-world.

Well at least Heromarine is looking good while losing, which is how things should be.

When Stats convincingly beat Serral at ASUS ROG but if you were listening with audio only you might have not realised he was even playing.

Your fault for not listening to the Finnish cast (2-3 series btw, not "convincingly").

all of the players above were/are legitimately great for certain periods of time
but as snarky internet contrarians, it's our responsibility to throw cold water on ppl's hype the instant anyone becomes slightly overrated

This first TvT game is way more interesting than any of the Stats vs. Reynor games... and I really don't like watching TvT lol

Zest vs Serral at Katowice was less convincing (also 2-3) and was the same

If the bias was across the board it would make more sense.
Scarlett and Heromarine hype for example >>>>>>> caster hype for say, Elazer or Showtime when I think those players all are pretty comparable in level/historic results.

Solid game number one for both players.

Sure. Again i'll counter with "Your fault for not listening to the Finnish cast"  )

A lot of the time they have results, they just get blown out of proportion. When Neeb had a 15% winrate against Koreans one year but won one match against Rogue (despite being swept by soO and Rogue again right after) they still talk about it 4 years later.
It was the same when Showtime beat ByuN at blizzcon despite losing every other match he ever played against korean terrans.
They don't do this kind of stuff when a C tier korean wins 1/10 matches against one of the champions.

Oh it's that time I need to remind everyone how awfully ugly Heromarine's teamshirt is

I would not recommend dooming yourself to about 11 months of pain a year and then a promising month that reintroduces hope into your life only to be crushed post-haste.

Right now there is no bias toward foreign players that don't have the results or are just playing decently.
