Reynor is absolutely on right now and deserves the hype this tournament but as soon as soemone starts to goat him i kinda just tune off because it feels like the only reason for that is because foreigner. | ||

If coming back even for the things you don't enjoy isn't passion I don't know what is. | ||

Caster bias may indeed be 2/10 leaning towards Reynor, but TL posters are convinced it’s 9/10. Casters have always had massive favourites. Do you think Fruitdealer and IntoTheRainbow went into that first GSL final with equal levels of hype? Do you know the story of Clide, the greatest player to never win anything? And let's not even get started on Flash and Jaedong, which was the most biased any caster has ever been in the history of StarCraft 2. Oh, but they're RTS legends, say people who would never dream of giving that kind of treatment to Moon and Grubby. Caster bias only ever became a problem when it started happening to non-Koreans. | ||

It's just when the reason behind it is ethnicity as opposed to legacy or history as a player, it comes across as a lot worse. | ||
