Would like to see Parting win this, even though I'm not hopeful. Can't stand his streams, but I love him as a player.

Caster bias may indeed be 2/10 leaning towards Reynor, but TL posters are convinced it’s 9/10.

Caster bias only ever became a problem when it started happening to non-Koreans.

People have complained about caster bias forever. 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.

Stats vs Reynor was the peak of annoyance though, one of the all time greats who may be playing his last big tournament and it wasn’t even mentioned, for no reason!

The worst I can remember was Stats vs Serral at ASUS ROG. You wouldn't even know who Serral was playing against if had only audio


The worst was definitely Sos vs. Jaedong.

Only thing I remember from parting on SKT was the loss to flash in the proleague finals x)

I’m unsure why one would even watch Starcraft if that series pisses then off, sure disappointment that your boy didn’t make it or your race but Jesus it was 4 real high quality games with one clown show.


Human Nature. You could have the world's greatest series between the world's two best players and people are still going to find a way to find a fault with it. Like real life sports, doesn't matter if the games were great. If my team or my boy doesn't win. Fuck the quality of the games. I'm gonna be pissed.
There is no understanding. There is only Choya. Choya is the way. Choya is Love. Choya is Life. Has is the Light in the Protoss Dark and Nightmare is his chosen Acolyte

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.


moon or grubby weren't sc players and they were never that good in sc2. bad example.

and you probably don't remember stephano/idra/thorzain/scarlett era. they were biased, oh, they were. and it is normal.

like it was normal to cast like that in a game where one player does everything like he should to and in the end doesn't win.


Stephano was as overhyped as Serral maybe even more I'd say but he was winning less so ppl didn't care as much. (even if you can find some pretty heated threads on TL)

Did the casters say Stephano is the Goat?
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Is there any knowledge what happens between second semifinal and grand final? We could have an announcement regarding map pool or new patch, if they wanted to synchronize with the start of new circuit.

my bet would be on nothing happening but it would be cool ngl

Yes they do pay great respect to Koreans, but no they absolutely don't hype them almost as much.

Yes, but just thinking about it make me want to laugh, so it was definitely worth it.

That one was bad. It took sOs 3 world championships before he got the hype he deserved.

And after that his skill dropped off but the hype somehow remained.
