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.

I honestly thought Dark being called "perfect" was kinda a meme

I think Reynor is pretty much like Dark, a cocky but funny guy.

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.

Maru vs Rogue could be a really fun series!


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.

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.
Faker is the GOAT!

Best series of the tornament so far? Clem vs Serral could be the other cadidate for now.

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.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

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

Tbf, perfection was a good word to describe his group stage, it's obviously hyperbolic but come on, fanboying players is totally normal.

If Maru win next, surely Reynor is the overwhelming favorite to win the whole thing?

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).

I think this was more tense, exciting and strange given how game 5 went, Clem vs Serral was of better quality across the sets though IMO
