Leenock vs. Trap was one of my favourite series in a long time.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

Yeah a RO16 group with Reynor, Neeb and Impact in it is certainly higher quality.

Zest consistently doesn't look impressive yet he's the only player alongside Maru to make GSL playoffs every season this year, something he hasn't done since 2014.

Like Maru, he consistently manages to have Ro16 groups that are as easy as possible for him to advance from.

Maru earns that ability by being the champ. 2/3 times this year Zest has been brought into a group because he's considered one of the easier opponents.


Wasn't he last picked into his group both times, then selected his own group this season? People don't get last picked if they're considered bad.

A group with foreign Zergs is by definition always higher quality than one with korean Zergs.

Leenock hype? I'm super happy to see him doing well again!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Yeah I think any of them would have had a good shot of getting out. It's 2018. Get rid of your Korean bias. Reynor is probably better than all but a handful of KR zergs (Dark, soO, Rogue, Solar). Impact consistently outperforms Leenock in online cups. Neeb is hit and miss but his best is pretty damn good.

Really interested to see how Leenock does in the round of 8. Now we only need KeeN to advance for the chance of a Leenock v KeeN grand finals

Leenock > Reynor and the gap between the four you mentioned and Reynor is massive.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!
