I think Reynor need to go back to Europe, for some reason, his practice in Korea just isn't paying off. It's been a hard couple of months, early exit in Kato, missing the Starswar qualification, getting bopped in the EU regional, and now this. Hopefully he can find his form for the million dollar tournament. | ||

No, it's because GuMiho played relatively standard against soO, but played bat shit crazy against Reynor because he knew that was the best way to win against Reynor, specifically. | ||

He does have the skill to go far, but GSL is the hardest tournament on the planet (yes, even nowadays), and he seems to be in a bit of a slump recently. Gumi played perfectly against Reynor. Weird, non-standard plays, risky at times. | ||

Could also be that Gumiho was saving those builds for when he got pushed into a corner. It would be just like him to save his craziest builds for when he was most desperate. | ||

Even Serral's chance to advance in group stage is also questionable when we talked about the weeks preparation where he didn't contest much in his career. | ||

This was the toughest group though. | ||

Even Serral's chance to advance in group stage is also questionable when we talked about the weeks preparation. To be fair Serral has looked much better than Reynor ever since Gamers8 and Serral is more well rounded even when Reynor is playing well. I don't think Serral would have any easy time winning GSL, but Reynor's performance doesn't tell us too much about how Serral would do. GSL is still super hard. I think it's lost a lot of prestige because of the pitiful prize pool, but in terms of quality of play it's still tough. | ||

He showed in Katowice that he can plan a series quite well in a few hours. People tend to think, that preparation onky benefits koreans. | ||

Really cheering for that Reynor comeback, he can make it happen. Reynor only performs when Zerg is strong and he gets coached He is a budget Clem (mandatory /s) | ||

Cure, Rogue, Stats, and Dark could be really strong if Rogue has kept improving since I last saw him play Solar, DRG, Nightmare, Byun also sounds really difficult given how good Nightmare has been lately (he beat Reynor recently too lol) | ||

Reynor didnt really die or get massively behind on those early push from Gumiho, its his mis-handling of the situation in the lategame against Mech that ended his hope, seems like he couldnt winna fight anywhere on the map past mid-game. And I understand its hard to practice against that, because probably only Gumiho and maybe Maru play that style. | ||
