Serral Fan B: here's a poll, 60% of people hate tofu, so absolutely no doubt
Me: but you only polled 100 Americans. There are also Asians
Serral Fan C: come on. Saying that there are communities out there that we don't really interact with who may or may not have a different opinion is not a response
Me: if your conclusion is majority of Americans hate tofu I would've been fine
Serral Fan B: you're moving the goal post. If you believe Asians are different show the stats. PFChang hates tofu and he owns a restaurant chain you know.
Me: guys you made a claim so burden of proof is on you. You know PFChang is allergic to soybean right?
Serral Fan B: you can always nitpick
Serral Fan C: The proof you ask for obviously dosen't exist Jesus fucking Christ this interaction has been one of my most unpleasant in a long time. I don't know why I bothered sticking myself in this debate, it always ends up like this. It was a fun GSL day too... Oh and by the way Maru is my personal GOAT.
Agreed entirely, albeit with a different personal GOAT.
It can be a fun debate (sometimes) but does it need to occur in threads where neither Serral or Maru are actually playing?
It was a good day of action, soO showing he’s not a busted flush, Gumiho bringing his usual flavour, herO looking imperious in PvZ and that despite its obvious decline, perhaps GSL hasn’t declined quite as much as many thought. Plus Reynor’s slump seemingly still being very much in evidence, alas.
There’s plenty to talk about like!
Despite IMO being in a bit of a slump, I’ve always felt Reynor was quite streaky anyway with as high a peak as almost anyone, but a baseline.
That said going 0-4 I don’t actually think Reynor played that badly. He wasn’t far off breaking one of herO’s pushes. Game 1 against Gumigod he had one comprehensive engagement go badly, and prior to that I think slightly better rotation and he finds a chink in Gumi’s armour. Game 2 Gumi pulled a great tactical manouvere that paid off but was pretty risky, in a game Reynor was in a decent spot.
But such are the margins at the cutting edge, I have certainly seen worse 0-4s in GSL groups

I think people are debating on this particular topic about who the goat is yet again, because this is Reynor’s group.
Reynor was very vocal on Twitter (and maybe stream and discord, I don’t follow players discords very much as it’s time consuming) about Maru being #1 on tl.net list instead of Serral.
He also apparently tweeted something like « I want to win GSL just to shut them up », dunno who is supposed to be « them » but I guess that’s why people bring up the ad nauseam goat debate in the wrong topic.
To get back on topic, I have been particularly impressed by GuMiho this group, even though he didn’t manage to qualify.
His mechanics have definitely improved to a good level (or he managed to get them back to a good level).
herO being the protoss juggernaut is also cool, I hope he will manage to win this GSL.
Him or soO, who was also impressive.
Props to Reynor for committing to playing in the GSL by the way, it’s very entertaining, too bad we don’t see more foreigners do that. Sure, it’s not the best move financially. But StarCraft 2 itself isn’t the best game for a pro gamer financially, so why not have fun and try to build their own legacy?
I would like to see HeroMarine try it out, he has good preparation usually so I think he could go to playoffs bracket
