Kind of a shame for Reynor to be out after almost topping the group / 2-0ing Maru, but that's something that happens often in GSL and that's why all in all it's such a difficult tournament. Neeb looked so bad against Maru, yet he was the one to come out second ultimately. | ||

"My PvT is pretty good but, I'm just sad I didn't get to show it this tournament because Maru just proxied me and I didn't defend the proxies well enough to even get into the mid game. But I think my PvT's pretty good actually." This is the "taunt" you're so upset about? This is "calling out Maru"? Not to mention here is the very first thing Neeb says in his interview: "I really thought I was just going to lose to Impact 2-0 or something. So it feels nice to go through but, I don't think my run has been that impressive so far. So I'll try to show way better games for the round of eight." Damn! What arrogance! What angst! In fact he even supported one of the exact points you're trying to make, that his path hasn't been that impressive! How dare he. You are either a bad troll or the most belligerent Korean elitist on this site. You've only been posting for a month and almost every single post is shitting on foreign players in some way. Especially the top foreigners like Serral and now Neeb. I remember you from the GSL vs the World threads, lets see what you had to say: This one was nice and ironic Ouch, how'd that one turn out for you? Hmmm Yes, that's all Serral did to reach the Ro4 at Katowice. Oh you know except go 6-1 against Rogue, Zest and Impact in the group stages. Did we forget that part, or it just didn't support the narrative we were trying to make? And when Serral loses to Classic it was important but when he beat Classic it was irrelevant. But the pro-foreigners are the ones who are biased! Lol. Getting some more digs in, at Showtime this time. Foreigners are bad and if they ever win it was lucky and irrelevant! Whoops LOL Ok so you hate Serral, Showtime, Neeb, Maynarde and Rotti, and foreign events are irrelevant. How do you feel about Reynor? Seriously, do you even watch foreign starcraft? Or did you just see the name Reynor, look him up Liquipedia and say "no results, must be a shitter!" "Gets trashed at events against foreigners without fail" LOL. You do know he just turned 16 a month ago right? And before that he couldn't play in WCS tournaments? As far as I know he has played in three offline events this year: WESG, WCS Valencia, and GSL. So how'd he do? At WESG he made the Ro8 and lost to Maru, beating every foreign player he met along the way. At WCS Valencia he got first in his group in Stage 1, Stage 2, AND Stage 3, went 3-0 against Special in the Ro16 then lost to Serral in the Ro8. Ok, so he made the Round of 8 at both events, beat every single foreign player he met along the way in both events, and both of his losses were to the overwhelming favorites and eventual champions. This is him getting "trashed at events against foreigners without fail" and getting "continually owned at foreigner events"? Two events where he beat every foreign player he faced except for Serral? It seems very clear from the things you say that you know nothing about any of these players but are antagonistically shitting on them solely because they're not Korean. Even your very first post on this site was to shit on Serral. Again, you are either a troll or Korean elitist to a disgusting degree and mean about it. Hopefully everyone will learn to ignore anything you say until you actually have some clue about the players you're talking about and don't spend 80% of your time bad mouthing players because they had the audacity to be non-Korean. Savage! Well done! | ||

Kind of a shame for Reynor to be out after almost topping the group / 2-0ing Maru, but that's something that happens often in GSL and that's why all in all it's such a difficult tournament. Neeb looked so bad against Maru, yet he was the one to come out second ultimately. I wouldn't say that Neeb looked bad against Maru, exactly, as there wasn't much of him to see, unfortunately... Neeb looks bad against any kind of "dedicated aggression", as NoRegret puts it, and this, I feel, is what has been keeping him back throughout 2018. I think back to Blizzcon 2017, when Neeb took his first series against Rouge, beating him to a pulp on the super late game. soO is watching, of course, and the very next game he goes for a 2-base build and kills Neeb twice without much trouble. Then it's Rouge's turn for the rematch, so of course he follows soO's example, and Neeb's out. I feel that ever since, Koreans view Neeb as someone you should always try to break on the early game and get an easy win. That's pretty much how Dark manhandled him lately. Maybe if Reynor would have adopted that frame of mind, he'd come out second in the group... Honestly, I think that Reynor has a better chance in the RO8 than Neeb, because he hasn't been figured out by the Koreans to the extent that Neeb had. But my heart, ever since that KeSPA Cup in 2016, yearns for Neeb to go on another miracle run. The problem is, no matter how good he gets in the late game, he's still gonna get stomped on if he doesn't do something to counter the cheese that he needs to assume is coming his way. | ||

But someone already said righfully that Maru tends to be kind of shaky in earlier rounds but then kills it in the playoffs. He also didn't look invincible vs Forte, shaky vs Leenock, last season he weirdly struggled vs Patience and in season 1 he lost a match to Keen. I think he is sometimes is somewhat similar to Taeja who also often performed just well enough to beat his opponents. | ||

Reynor might be better in the future, but he only went 2-2 vs classic before his ro16 match and in foreigner events doesn't put up the performances that a top player would against such competition. Anyway - if you think that Neeb's statement isn't "Maru just proxied me, I'm really good in this matchup I'd probably beat him in a REAL series", then I don't know what else to say to you :p | ||

This thread is not about me, but if you insist on talking about me then: I didn't say Serral "isn't even top 10", I said that winning the weekend vacation tournament GSL vs The World doesnt make him top 2. He was overrated in previous PRs so they increased his rank from overrated to overrated after the win. Serral is top 8-12 in my opinion. Btw if you don't like me so much you can always just... hm... ignore me! (that's what I do to most people posting things like "Serral is the best player in the world!") | ||

And I guess I'll join in to feed the troll.

So then you go from one kinda extreme to another extreme. Like who are the 9-13... I mean 7-11 better players at the moment (and why)? And I guess you regard Lambo quite highly if Serral beating him 3-0 makes Serral jump up a couple of spots. On August 13 2018 11:10 Rodya wrote: Serral won a weekend for fun vacation tournament.

Rogue should be an easier opponent than Dark imo. Especially since Dark must be super pissed off from his loss against Serral, you get revenge where you can and foreign blood is still foreign blood :D | ||

If neeb was a player of Maru's caliber I could see where you're coming from perhaps, but Neeb is no where close to Maru's skill level. It's not banter it's delusion, thinking that his inability to survive past 3 minutes means hes not the worst player to make ro8 in years. Personality? Neeb's "personality" is a chain of forced awkward statements. He doesn't look "cool" for what he said, he looks like an angsty child who can't accept being outclassed. I'm sorry but it's just disrespectful to taunt the reigning champion and favorite to win the tournament, especially after getting soaked. Notice that when Dark loses, he doesn't disrespect his opponents, he's respectful and just practices to get better. I especially like how you made sure to slip in there that a KOREAN doesn't disrespect his opponents, not like that baddy Neeb.

)I mean, it's fine to be a fanboy, obviously big part of this forum is about that But being so biased to ignore evrything and just throwing around alternative facts ... that's rediculous over time. BTT: Was a bit surprised, too. As well Reynor doing that good against Maru (it really was close for a game most of the people would have assumed a safe 2-0 for Maru) as Neeb beeting Reynor. But in the end it was of course just cleverness ... Neeb prepared for pretty much one match-up, while Reynor seemed to have prepared for all three of them. Guess it's a bit about Experience ... of course Reynor lacks a bit regarding his age. But i'm sure we can expect a lot of him in the coming years, maybe he even can become a Serral 2.0 ... | ||

I think if Neeb genuinely did taunt Maru (he didn't really), it'd be fun times anyway. Banter is good, and i highly doubt Neeb disrespects any of the Korean pros, especially Maru. | ||
