Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

No surprise to see Reynor take this, honestly wasn't a fan of Zest's play. Mechanically he was brilliant but I'm not sure going for the same build so many times did him any favors, I was kind of surprised to not see alot of very crisp timing attacks, long macro games just aren't where I see Zest at his best vs a macro monster like Reynor.

Great series though, Zerg looking strong vs. Protoss with Lurkers and good ol fashioned Roach max outs.

It's a very bad build and I don't know why they are so sticking with it.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Most alternatives look even worse tbh.

Congratulations to Reynor, the new world champion. Well deserved win, with some really amazing games - game 5 vs Maru and Dark in particular.

Pretty solid final, but a Maru-Reynor bo7 would've been even better .

TvZ is just superior.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

That's a pretty great run from Reynor, can't think of many IEM runs off the top of my head (if one even exists) where the champion was so comprehensively tested

Because the other builds aren't good either presumably. A bit too predictable from Zest there to go for this so many games in a row though--on Pillars especially he could have been in a decent spot if he had stayed on a single stargate and just gone for a standard ground comp. possibly. Well it is what it is.
