Have we found the rare individual who doesn't find Reynor a likeable young man? :S

yeah Dark looked great, but short-term tournaments like this don't measure objective skill, it's as much about who can hold on and be clutch at the right moments. Reynor's been sloppy, but he's been decisive and resilient when it mattered
On small margins, I mean I think Serral wins last Blizzcon given he had the measure of Dark back then outside of that disastrous ultra into lose decision he made against Reynor back then.
A fair few 3-2s so far too, these guys are all at such a high level and it makes for some great series and drama.
Yeah making strong statements on who's the best and who's washed up on the basis of one tournament when things are so tight is pretty misguided. For a single tournament to settle questions like that it would need to be like, a round robin bo5 group stage with the 10 best players.

Could be terrible also. Strange things happen when (former) Jin Air players play against each other. The fact these two aren't sharing a team house anymore means we could get a totally amazing series but I have no idea.

Who used those two words - perfect and unbeatable?
Charoisaur said "perfect" at least twice, can't remember who said unbeatable. But that's the message that was conveyed, pretty much.
you shouldn't exactly talk about overhyping players, should you?
When one players wins all the series and all the tournaments for months that's no overhype. When one players does nothing a whole year, comes back and win a tournament, doesn't qualify for another and loses in the ro16 of another one before going 10-0 in the groupstage and gets regarded as a god, that's overhype.

Inb4 Reynor vs. Clem finals.
Nah, never gonna happen. Clem does not have what it takes yet and Reynors luck will run out. This is the world championship not some foreignland BS tourney.
"XXXX is perfect and unbeatable." The objectively worst thing to say about any player... Look at Trap, Serral, and now Dark in this tourney, stop using those words forplayers, it ruins the narrative, puts unnecessary pressure on the individuals, and creates stupid arguments that people will never resolve because neither party will change each other's mind anyways.

This is the guy who thought that yesterday was almost the best day in his life when Serral went out :D

which wouldn't make Serral a bad player by any means. Reynor has that tiny edge of confidence boost, skillwise the highest level players (Zest, Trap, Dark, Rogue, Maru, Reynor, Serral, Clem...) look very close.

A TvZ without cross-world ping would probably be pretty good.
On the other hand, neither of them are Protoss, so that won't do.

yeah those are ultra small margins, we should give those guys a break. If you're saying things like "Serral lost in ro12 lolololol washed up champion" you're just stupid. Sometimes you get that tiny bit of luck or clutchness, sometimes you don't, you remain one of the best in the world

right yeah I mean at this point you've winnowed everyone but the very top, which is what makes it fun. This tournament has very much delivered so far

Not mentioning TY? You heretic!

Tbf sometimes reynor is a lil too much over the top for my taste then it becomes a bit annyoing (still very likeable in general).
