Foreigners getting into Code S says NOTHING about how they match up against the mid-high level koreans.
out of all the times foreigners qualified (10-15?) a single one made it through the ro32 once. And that was when she was in a form that let her 3-1 Serral.


Imagine the mental gymnastics you need to go through to write this without mentioning that another foreigner qualified for the GSL ro16 just 2 weeks ago, one that was in the form that saw him lose 3-0 to Serral 3 days ago.

did we not already settle the foreigner argument years ago?

the top few foreigners who surpass all other foreigners are generally about equally talented as koreans, but koreans have a stronger environment in terms of tradition, sponsorship, knowledge of how to practice, knowledge of how to play a series, etc. serral is on a korean level of gameplay on individual maps, but will probably never be on a korean level of CONSISTENCY because of the foreign league environment, just like neeb, snute, scarlett, stephano, every foreigner who ever came close to greatness. that's why foreigners are very strong but don't last

why is this not the obvious and ultimate answer? i know a million people have said this before me. this answer should be so obvious that it should actually completely shut down the shitposts. if you don't believe this answer you're basically saying something really uncomfortable about different ethnicities, and that doesn't even belong on this forum

What a run for Has tho. I'm glad some people would start to take him more seriously now after this tournament.

He's actually a really good player and even more fun to watch than others.

Congratz to Serral.

This was by far the most entertaining of the 3 WCS Circuit events this year. All of the games were inevitable Serral domination, but at least Has had us guessing what strange way he would find to lose to Serral.


If not bold mistakes by Has, he could have been winning 3:1. More than that , if he cannon rushed Serrals third, not only the natural, he could have won. Serral had nothing against that.
