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

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.

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.

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.
