It's not fair to say he looks better than Serral does when Serral only looked shaky in one match up. Insane amounts of bracket luck is inherent to standard SC2 formats. Can only judge ppl by who they face  | ||

Shouldn't be discredited just because it took place during COVID times. He had a gauntlet slew of opponents - Stats, Dark, Maru and Zest - players on all sides had ping and latency issues and mishaps. Yea I agree. But that said. Offline vs Online has been a distinction for YEARS in SC2, it's also not fair to just exclude IEM Katowice from that distinction just because it was a good tournament. We count Reynor's online cup the same as an offline and we should start reevaluating how we count EVERY online championship. It's a can of worms. I can understand why it's best to just leave it as an asterisk and call it a day. | ||

Oh yeah for sure. Immense pressure, nerves, live audience viewing, distractions, noise, mentality, also timezone travel differences (for some players more than others), etc. It was either that or not having IEM Katowice 2021 taking place, though. | ||

Treating it like any other world championship is fine outside of discussions of how Reynor stacks up against other great players of history, imo. | ||
