Korean age, right? So it's pretty close. Reynor was 15 years and 3 days in Korean age afaik.

Reynor is like 17 korean age I think
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Koreans count age like English speakers count centuries. This is the 17th year of Reynor's life and we are living in the 21th century.

No. That's based on their birthday as listed on liquipedia and putting in the day of their ro32 match into an online age calculator.

I was literally out of my sit standing up watching the last 5~ min or so of that last game in awe.... The whole time I was thinking to myself it feels like I'm watching Life reincarnated. Just...you know, pre-scandal Life. I hope he can keep up this level of play in the ro16!

That last game of Reynor vs Classic was a true nail biter and a great scrappy game to watch

I knew who won the last series before I had a chance to watch it and the first game was pretty much a build order counter and looked like a stomp. So I expected the second game to be something similar, maybe Reynor figured out Classic. Thankfully, I was wrong, that was by far one of the best PvZ that I have seen in a long, long time. The last game that was that much of a nail biter was that I've seen Neeb vs Rogue in group stages last year at Blizzcon.

I just found myself thinking, "I know that Reynor wins, but how? How? HOW?" And for me that was very exciting.

Reynor definitely deserved his spot. It wasn't a cheesy build order fluke, he played Classic and Ryung straight up and took it home. Really exciting stuff from a rising star, and I don't think he needs a whole lot of luck to make a deep run in this tournament.

I concur. However, he had the match-up cut out for him, as he said in the interview, by Classic playing exactly as he expected him to in the second series. Maybe not the best mind games or the tactically most savvy series there was, but certainly the most exciting and entertaining for quite a while imo.

Props to Reynor, really exciting to see not only fresh blood enter the scene, but fresh foreign blood making a splash at the GSL.

That's not necessarily true, because you can be 2 years older than your.....worldwide age.

I ask this genuinely: Where does this, already, put Reynor in terms of Italians in esports history?

This kid is amazing. He played the most competitive StarCraft II tournament (twice against the best korean protoss), and got out of his group in his first GSL.

I hope he continues kicking butts and shutting mouths in the RO16 because, apparently, every time a top korean loses to a foreigner, it's because the former played like s***.

What a time to be an SC2 fan. GG Reynor!

When in Korea, I just ask, "what year were you born?" It's easier than trying to figure out the complexities of Korean age.

Reynor adapted to Classic's playstyle really well. The first match where Classic won 2-0 in convincing fashion gave him a false sense of security.
