Wow foreigners really struggling in TSL so far


Not sure if I can facepalm strong enough after that statement; they aren't doing great but they aren't "struggling", for sure Clem and Reynor underperformed terribly.
Reynor yesterday threw a game he shouldn't have against Dark but at least the series was entertaining, this one against Ragnarok was pretty atrocious.



6/8 in the upper bracket are likely to be KR players. Serral/Special is foreigner vs foreigner. Heromarine vs Spirit is as well. I dont see how that isn't struggling. Thats not to say none of the foreigners in the lower bracket can make a run but based on what we've seen so far I think struggling is a fair assessment.

Edit 6/8 likely because Rogue probably beats Showtime -- but we'll have to see.


I think Elazer and Lambo definitely have potential to make deepish runs, though Elazer needs Zoun to beat Byun. Otherwise yeah, Serral is the only foreigner who looks like he'll do well (Maru losing also gave him a very nice bracket, nothing's certain but he has a clear path to winners final.)


It's 10-4 in series which is bad but not terrible, on average you will have more often tournaments where koreans are ahead or, in a given tournament, you should expect koreans to edge out non koreans in the overall count.
In the post Serral world the opposite happens fairly often but, on average, koreans have the advantage(they still have more top tier players).
To make a comparison, it was 9-6 in favor of foreigners at KoB, 12-7 for koreans at the last DH Masters just this month.

That game 2 of Trap vs MaxPax was the most entertaining PvP I ever watched! Hope to see more of those battling it out in the future

Serral already losing 2 tumors in this game, he's obviously in a big slump
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

I will complain that they're once again on the same side of the bracket - never on opposite sides

On the one hand, having Rogue and Dark on opposite sides of brackets makes a ZvZ finals pretty likely.
On the other hand, that ZvZ would be Rogue vs Dark.

Rogue/Dark playing so early in every event is really a travesty. It's especially sad here because the loser will face the winner of the LB 4 pack Maru is in. Several of Korea's best representatives will be eliminated by each other.

Who is this Spirit guy. All upsets with him! Did he come out of nowhere or have I not been paying attention?

Edit: oh, okay, it is Soul. Obviously good then, but not perhaps the New Hope.

6k-7k viewers seems very low for such a tournament. Timezone issues or something else?

I watched Maru vs Cure 3rd game, I'm surprised how Maru came back
