He looked really sloppy defending these drop Thats TvT for you, both side sends army/drop away and miss each other, then see who does more damage. There is no "good" way to defend against those drops unless you turtling at home. | ||

Made even more impressive considering that except for last year, which was a TvT final, 6/7 of those Katowice finals all ended up as either ZvP or ZvZ finals. | ||

It's his 5th ro4 at Katowice, he didn't make it in 2019. Still super impressive. I'll say it again but he's the most consistent player in world championship events | ||

EDIT: But also, that's 2019 so that shouldn't count. 2019 as a year shouldn't count. | ||

Until this year's bombing, one could've argued Reynor with his 4 finals and 2 won (out of the Blizzcon/Katowice switch) was up there. | ||

And he blew a couple of important 2-0 lead that I was literally scared when Byun even the score. | ||

Reynor has also been remarkably consistent until this year. Makes his performance at this tournament all the more surprising. | ||

He probably meant Gamers8 as a WC-tier event as well. But it sucks for Reynor that the year he won IEM, they cut the prizepool by 50% because it was online. | ||

If Gamers8 counts then WeSG does as well. Maru made top 3 in WeSG all 3 years, and he's made ro4 at blizzcon. That's 9 ro4+ in World championships, to Reynor's 4. | ||

He has a bimodal tendency to either straight up win or clown out, whereas Maru is necessarily more consistent overall out of just being the better player. Just wanted to point out these things really depend on the k you pick for top-k, i.e. k=4. | ||
