This was genuinely the most amazing Starcraft 2 tournament I've ever witnessed.

Probably one of the biggest tournament win upsets given strenght of opponents faced - not just in starcraft - but in all of esports.

Super inspirational stuff. I'm trying to get out of bronze league myself as a terran

keep practicing and good luck!

I have seen all. He's right.


New to sc2. Why were the other IEM Kato so bad?


I’ve seen all katowice since 2014, there were a lot of great ones. Personally for me the 2019 is better when soO, a guy who lost like 8-9 finals before finally won big. I teared us so much back the , here as a Maru fan and Oliviera totally deserving a win - no, 2019 story was much bigger for me personally.

As per great Katovices for me. 2014, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022 and this one were awesome.

looking at how things are in this IEM, now its Rogue to me. The guy just know how to win the big ones.


Rogue is my top 3 together with Maru and Serral. Each has their own, uncomparable reasons to call them greatest.

The way Serral look so sad in ZvZ, and how Maru played like a moron in most of the Final, make me appreciate how Rogue manhandle his opponent with ease. As a fan, I think Maru should be HURT about how he was so close to this one and still let it slip away, he better be.

Tbh I was pretty bummed when Serral lost and perhaps even early GG'd out, but Time taking the whole thing is a pretty awesome story. Dude took out Reynor, herO and Maru to win a global championship. What a God. Virtuosic. GG!

Also trivia, Oli paid for Coffee's plane ticket back home because he could not go back connecting via the UK due to the lack of a VISA. It's worth several thousand dollars.

I hope Blizzard makes an official portrait for the world championship winner Oliveira. And turn the server back on ok

Was the winter olympics one right that Scarlett somehow won. I remember getting up early to watch it in bed. Nothing beats Starcraft 2 at its best.
