It feels like he was better mecanically but lacked specific preperation and got "out-prepared" The Koreans realy did their homework today. Reynor said in his interview with Harstem, he s not realy a preperation player and goes more with guts feeling, that might have cost him today. GGs to the Koreans | ||

Big ups to Reynor for at least coming out to compete, but holy shit is this is a wake up call to everyone in SC2 including me that were starting to doubt the elite level that Code S sits at. | ||

I don't think it's a good metric anyway considering how differently the money got split over the years. Like, you get 3k for ro20 this year, which is basically equal to a top 8 in 2013. | ||

Yeah, I think Scarlett managed to break the group stage many times and arrived to quarterfinal one time. She should gain the most cumulative earnings in GSL among the foreigners? | ||

I wouldn't say the overall level of play is the main issue. Otherwise Koreans would dominate the foreign tournaments as well and that's not really the case. It's just that GSL is, purely because of the format, a different type of tournament that requires a different set of skills. | ||

There's no jet lag involved in GSL since the players are living in Korea for a time. | ||

It's just that GSL is, purely because of the format, a different type of tournament that requires a different set of skills. They dominate foreign tournaments though, except for like Serral and Reynor and sometimes Clem and Heromarine. DRG also eliminated Serral from DH Last Chance. The average level of play in korea is still way higher even though the very top foreigners have closed the gap. | ||

I'm sure he'll learn though and come back some other time. Hope Serral makes the trip too next year, though I'm not holding my breath. | ||

Not even sure, but there are many international tournaments that take place over 2-3 days and foreign players tend to do well there even if Koreans participate. GSL with its week long preparation just seems to favor Koreans. Which is perfectly fine, but it's not because the overall level is just that much higher nowadays. | ||
