Premier titles of 2021 of the top players:

Reynor -2
Maru 1 (2 with KoB)

WHAT A DOMINATION!!!! Maru is just unstoppable! How does he do it?

Maru also got 3 2nd place, losing to Zergs as well.

I wouldn't call that as domination though, to be fair. Domination to me is to winning tropheys. Like Trap dominated the first half of the year, but now Zergs are dominating, not Maru. Maybe we have different expectation of domination.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

I agree with that too. Trap had a way better year than Maru.

How many Bo5's ZvZ we are going to have before heading to final? A bit sad seeing almost all the non-Zerg players got taken out in semifinal of two successive premier tournaments.
Rogue & Maru fan boy. ^^

Thinking that the upper loser's bracket is going to have one of Byun, Ragnarok or Solar while Trap, Dark, Reynor, Maru, Cure, Clem and MaxPax were all fighting for the lower bracket is kinda funny.

This is what you get for dropping out early from the winner bracket. I mean Dark was going through the same thing when he won TSL6, Reynor/Rogue/Maru/Parting/Byun/Serral.
However, I would just thought that the Ro12 and beyond should just be Bo5 already.

Yep, that Dark losers run was insane. Maru had a chance to do it here and it would have been just as if not more epic just running through all these top Zergs.

Realistically Maru screwed the bracket losing to Bunny =b.

Sooo happy to see Serral (slowly) coming back to his old form! Top 3 Zerg right now for sure.

As for Maru, although I do not really like him: Credit where credit is due, he's been showing great results lately while delivering great games vs. the best of the best.

Unfortunate for the ZvZ spam going forward. The players who are left bar maybe Reynor are playing really well but with it basically being just Zergs I'm sure viewership won't be what it could have been unfortunately .

Still looking forward to Rogue/Serral on winner's side and that might end up being our GF as well unless Dark can knock one of them off

while Dark's zvz and zvp is a bit shaky atm, his zvt is still the best in the world. Beautiful lategame.

T/P seems so screwed right now vs every mid tier Zerg or above besides Maru on a good day with a good bracket draw. Not much more to hope for from this event besides Serral not winning which isn't something I care enough about to watch 6 ZvZs and one sad ZvP where Trap gets annihilated by whatever Zerg he's against.

Same as why Serral got lot of anti-fan, pretty much the EU vs KR debate for years.

usually it's not that people don't like the player, its that people don't like their fans, which happens a lot in different sports/esports and is usually not acknowledged by fans themselves. Typical us vs them case.

The Zerg machine is rolling again, imagine if there was no Maru for the last couple months, Zerg could have won 6-7 straight tournaments.
