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


I think they are complete opposites. Darks cockiness has a cool, mysterious, dark vibe. While Reynor comes of as goofy, priggish, and just plain annoying. But yeah, its subjective anyway.

Tell me again how Dark was perfect and unbeatable guys.


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

He is known for having blatantly suboptimal playstyles or strategies.

But if you described his run at the latest blizzcon, his super tournament win, or even his run here in the group stages, as "perfect" I don't think many would have thought otherwise.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Zest should stop Reynor if it comes to that. Stats and Trap had him but they blew it.

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.


I find that a bit condescending. I mean sure, Clem will have a hard time vs. TY but if Reynor can take out Dark he can take out Rogue. And Maru... well it's Maru. I wouldn't bet my money on him outside GSL.

yeh, but you can rate "series" in a different way from "games"

It's like how the Life-sOs BlizzCon final was an amazing series with seven pretty mediocre-to-awful games

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

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


You should probably learn to read mate

Not mentioning TY? You heretic!

he's there, I probably forgot some others. Wasn't trying to do anything exhaustive


Fair, but don't think you forgot anyone else.

I still want all of these series without ping again (hopefully next iem), still feels like ping is deffo a factor in some games and the non ping affected games often tend to look better.

Honestly hoping a Korean wins because we'll never hear the end of how it didn't matter anyways because it was online if a non-Korean wins.

at least Stats, even if we're going to lose him soon

Maru has achieved far more than Reynor even without his GSL results.

I think he is already right? His biggest threat is Rogue but after he beat Dark I think he's the favourite there.

He's not losing a ZvT.

Its hard for a high stake close match to not be exciting to watch live, but that is because of the stakes and not knowing what will happen. I don't think it makes a good series tho. Sure i was glued to the screen when it was live but I'd never watch it again.

I wanted Dark to win with his earlier play this tournament, but my heart cannot let me root against Reynor. He looks so happy with his win :D

I think Clem could definitely beat Reynor but I also don't think Clem will make it to the finals.

Honestly I wasn't so convinced with Rogue's group stage performance, and I'm not on board the "world champion-mode Rogue is here" train quite yet. Maru's form also hasn't been great in the last few months.

this one is a toss-up for me :0

A big gabe in a amazing form was pretty close to do it.
I don't think Reynor is even favorite against Maru.

Yeah rewatching some of the classics after the fact that does become painfully apparent.

What series are both incredible from a drama and narrative sense while also containing some truly great games too? Mvp vs Squirtle would come to mind immediately for me

Maru is playing from Korea, I am not sure that "he's awful at international tournaments" applies in this tournament.
If he can beat Rogue he is my favourite.
