Man, disruptors are such a bad unit that comparing wol infestors to them is like comparing Mozart to Rebecca Black. Even swarm hosts have the redeeming quality of not being capable of ending a game in literally 1 second. Disruptors make your margin of error an absolute zero, which is something that no other unit has.

Koreans literally have to do twice as much as foreigners to get the same credit.
They view WCS and homestory cup wins as valuable as GSLs. It's absurd.

Oracle already has that.

Why do casters even do this? Is there a portion of the audience that absolutely loves this kind of framing?
Judging from TL LR threads it seems people almost universally hate this, even players who are rooting for the foreign players.

Looks like Reynor is gonna break Dark here.

I'm more puzzled at how you interject with a random "Serral is the GOAT btw" when he's not in the match and out of the tournament

Wow, really looked like Dark was going to hold there for a moment.

damn that was so close to a good hold from Dark
2-2, this is a great series, I predicted Dark to win it, will be glad to be proven wrong

You love to see it! This playlist needs to be released.

This is shaping up to be a very sad result

Yeah I think Serral is the GOAT but I think its extremely close, entirely debatable and not needed in the cast. Oh well

It's because the foreigner GOAT got knocked out by the other foreigner GOAT, but now we're watching a ZvZ that includes the actual foreigner GOAT. It can be a little confusing, which is why I just defer to whoever the commentator is hyping.

The asterisk:
*these other guys are better but they're not white

maybe it hypes people up who don't follow the game as much and believe that the fan favourite Serral is the GOAT?

Neither player asking for a mid-series break in a 5 game series
Taking breaks to recover mental is for lesser player who don't have ridiculous self confidence

I am surprised every time by how much you guys belittle Serral's achievements.
Also, in a Reynor vs Dark series...
|
How are the casters being overly foreigner biased in this match? They have been talking about Dark's legacy and his strengths far more than Reynor here.

If you only compare their single best years, Serral's 2018 and Dark's 2019, they're somewhat close. Even though Dark's year had better results in korea.
Every other year in the history of sc2 has Dark light years ahead of Serral but I guess results before 2018 don't matter anymore.
