TIME as one of representative does not seem a bad at all. Does Serral wish to participate in the next WTL? That requires Ence to hire two more players to make a 3-people roster first. Anyway, Reynor's Qlash has confirmed that they plan to participate and look for more players. | ||

And yeah he is there for the hype, as he isn't even close to being the best performing non Korean player in regular season, that would go to Scarlett. | ||

Anyway, Reynor's Qlash has confirmed that they plan to participate and look for more players. Not sure ENCE would be entertaining a larger roster, they're staying with Serral as their lone player for years and it works fine. As for QLASH, depends on who they will be recruiting. Free agents who are strong enough to get the team into high playoff contention aren't aplenty, so that means having to seek agreements with other teams for player transfers, or directly contacting said players. Either way I'm interested to see who would join Reynor, should be fine as long : - They don't do it last minute. There's seeing how the Juggernauts team was built, and they didn't fare great in the qualifications. PREP qualified but their main season didn't pan out well | ||

Him and Scarlett are tied as 3rd best performer in the league (same score 15-7 and no ace for both). Maru and Trap are 1 and 2, Rogue is the outlier. Edit: I'm talking about Time btw | ||

It is fracturing the community behind a language-wall, and I, for one, will not watch, support, or cover it on LP in any way unless this decision is revised. Seems like wardi gets the permission, all good | ||

At the end of the day it's their event and their (quite considerable) money, it's reasonable that they want to be sure everyone know it's theirs. If I'm honest, I kind of prefer that, obviously having to follow the chinese obs isn't the greatest, but I much preffer having all the WTL overlay, the desk, the transition, the music, the Hexagons and the weird shrimp add that come with watching a rebroadcast. It add some personal flavor to the event. (No offense to Wardi, but we do see your room pretty much every other tournament) I have to say it's been a while since I've watch non-english SC2, but I seem to remember that either ESL or WCS did it that way too? (I could be wrong though) | ||

(I could be wrong though) You realize you get all of that (the overlay, desk, transitions, music etc) with a clean feed which we can cast off of? Now we won't have game sound / music etc because we have to cast from the chinese stream where they are commentating in Chinese. We cast off a clean feed for WTL and it's no issue, I prefer it because of all the graphics, but it sucks that originally we had to restream a restream. At least now we are getting a direct feed from the chinese stream, so we can have higher quality but still no sounds. | ||

IT'S a NetEase owned invitational, not WTL official match, SCboy have no right to issue permission unless NetEase allows them to. | ||

He lacked behind in economy, losing more drones than his opponent. It is right way to call for defeat. Serral was just lucky to not has his hatchery destroyed in time before Rogue ran out his lings. | ||

Then proceed to use the exact same opening in game 2, which Serral counter quite well. So yeah, he did fine, but could be better. | ||

Serral after winning a bunch of cash for his team: "it was relatively fun, i have to admit" I expected a lot of post game down time so I left as soon as I saw that final victory screen. That my sick wife had just gotten out of bed helped in changing activity. Have look up the VoD for that interview. I do like those online interviews. | ||

So him getting the short end of the stick in his self imposed lottery just feels right. | ||

There is a reason that Rogue is one of the best Bo7 players, its because he has time to lay down all the mind game and trickery along the series, or even the series before that. In a shorter series where both sides play with caution and somewhat more standard build order, Rogue isnt great. | ||
