Undisputed GOAT if he wins.


I think agreed. But the amazing thing is that history is still being written, so who knows how things will develop.

Ragna should just do really dumb all-ins. You never know, when Maru has a door open.

Still an argument to be made for Rogue. He is after all the only one who has multiple of both Global Championships and GSL Championships.

Maru has been up 2-0 in Katowice ro4 enough times to not get overconfident right?
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Serral must be shaking his head right now looking at this series - "It should be me." Really wanted this to be more competitive than their GSL battle, but it is what it is. Maru in the finals incoming.

very volatile results all around this IEM, too bad we dont get many great matchups this year after a long tournament drought

also Maru got one of the easiest runs to the finals with how the brackets turned out, hopefully we get maru vs hero in the finals at least

Fair point, but the G5L closes the argument for me. Now let's watch history being hopefully made.

I think it's pretty clearly Rogue but GOAT criteria seems to differ a lot depending on the person

Amazing how his run goes from being one of the hardest to one of the easiest because Serral's ZvZ was so questionable in this tournament.

What the actual fuck? How did Ragnarok and Time, two low tier players, beat championship tier players in Reynor and Serral? This tournament is seriously rigged.

GOAT arguments, if civil, are fun to have, because there is no definition and it's completely arbitrary

The cabal is taking a strategic loss so nobody complains when they win the next five world championships.

I'm triggered by Zerg players placing their evos in front of their third bases.
