On the other side Reynor didn t prepare at all but relied simply on his (ridculous high) baseline skill level. But that is clearly not enough, when your opponents have prepared specifically for playing you. in the interview at the end, DRG said he didn't prepare for ZvZ/Reynor | ||

Good strategy he said in the pre-recorded questions between matches he was worried about him and expected him the go all the way, exactly like bunny and dream, he also offered the only nostradamus opinion stating he was interested to see reynor in a long-form style tournament which obviously gave him a bit of misstep on his first attempt to change the subject a little, sheesh i love state and tasteless what a great combo, tasteosis will always have GOAT status, but I am not mad one bit to continue on with this for the future, i know artosis and tasteless love sc2 but it is nice to have someone who plays regularly as well | ||

Starting to get good at a game when the pro scene is essentially crippled it like bragging on World of Warcraft PvE achievements in 2022. The only active players that can be mentioned in such discussion are Maru (since he was good when SC2 was still big) and Serral since he was SO dominant. Yet there are a lot more players that would have priority such as MVP, Life and Innovation. | ||

GSL is the longest running tournament of all. The most prestigious and the most difficult. Raynor is a great player, but he was arrogant and paid for it. IF there is a GSL next year, maybe he can try again and will surely prepare better. In the mean time, it is just clear how much difficult GSL is. How on earth Reynor losing means Serral is not a GOAT? Just thinking about the logic in this statement 😂The GOAT discussion is fruitles as everyone has their own criteria (have to win GSL etc). | ||

I expected something like this, should have gone with my guts. I hope Reynor and foreigners in general don't give up on GSL, but that kind of result shows how insanely hard it remains to win that particular tourney. Going to rewatch the games now to see if preparation played a huge role in the Bunny loss or not. It seemed that Reynor got parade pushed twice. | ||

But as others have pointed out, Reynor's loss really drove home the point that GSL is a unique tournament. Bunny's two base pushes is a testament to the importance of preparation, Reynor seemed indecisive and unsure how to handle them. That's the beauty of GSL I suppose, the 200 IQ prep work bearing fruit. Weekend tournaments lack this component, but test other skills (endurance? Spontaneous adaptation?). What that means for goat discussions is not something with an objectice answer. There's merit to both tournament styles. Still, sad to see Reynor get knocked out. Despite this disappointing result I still consider him a world class player. Better luck (and prep?) next time! Also, some very unsavoury replies in this thread after his loss. Schadenfreude is ugly. | ||

And on the overdone GOAT debate: I think this helps to show how impressive Maru and Rogue's 4 GSLs really are - they indicate prowess in a kind of cut-throat high-prep format that Serral hasn't been tested in. That said, I'd expect Serral would have a better shot at getting through that group than Reynor. | ||

Also any Reynor goat discussion is ridiculous. He's clearly an incredible talent, but his trophy case is well behind so many players (Serral, Rogue, Maru, Inno, Zest, sOs, MVP) and his world championship was played online. If competitive SC2 goes on for a while and he becomes more consistent he maybe has a chance to enter the conversation. (My 2 cents is that Rogue is pretty clearly the goat, even if I'm not a huge fan of him) | ||

Since when is Reynor the top forgein contender for GOAT anyway? IMO Reynor doesn't hold a candle to Serral who is arguably in the top 3 of all time depending on metrics and whatnot | ||
