Also Maru is the one who didn't make the finals if GSL v World for them to have met there, so U can't really use this argument 2) Serral has been destroying every tournament - 4 WCS in a row, plus a GSL. 3) yes Maru has done very well but as some have noted, it is in the post-teamhouse era while he is in the only remaining teamhouse. He said himself he couldn't do it without bunny and cure in the interview. Also how do you say Neeb isn't top 20 if he got to semis, or reynor to ro16? You're arguments are internally inconsistent. 4) Serral prepared no more than the Koreans did. It's not like he prepared for every Korean he would face. All you're saying is that it was a fair fight. 5) GSL v World is actually harder in some regards as it requires a lot more stamina in a short period, and you don't have the luxury of spending a week with your team mates pretending to be your opponent (note only Jin Air can do this as mentioned above) Come on guy, Maru only -just- beat TY here, you can pretend all you want but it's basically neck and neck between Serral and Maru, if not Serral favoured for the reasons outlined above. Don't know about that, but in that thing you quote he literally says that only Serral is the only player from top20 who doesn't play in GSL. That doesn't imply anything about Neeb or Raynor. | ||

We're blessed to have those two Terrans to BlizzCon anyway. Two questions are in my mind since the finals : 1/ What if Life did not match-fix? Boy oh boy Maru vs him could have been the best rivalry ever. 2/ Will a Serral vs. Maru finals at BlizzCon, if it ever happens, be as good as this wonderful clash between the best Terrans in the world right now? Maru said before that Rogue's winning in Blizzcon is his primary motivation. So if Life winning Blizzcon 2017, then Maru ended up being like the old one. No motivation. | ||

On September 15 2018 ArtyK wrote: I just think it's crazy that people continue to disregard his unprecedented achievements this year. I think you have to accept that fact that GSL Code S is still the hardest tournament to win in Starcraft II. But yes, foreign scene has leveled up in skills and has gone as far as ro.4 in GSL Code S, that's a great progress. | ||

Let's say he faces TY and Rogue in the groupstage - I don't think it would be a massive surprise if Serral got knocked out there. | ||

Life was winning on good patches, but also showed he can dominate without good balance for him. | ||

Do you also accuse your paper news of bias when they report on Chamipons League results and not the backyard friendly game in your local retirement home? yeah your logic belongs to politics threads bro | ||

One is a legend of sc2 while the other is a failure Life was a shamful matchfixer but let's not not go the patchzerg route. If anything, Terran had the most imbalanced era ever in Korea and Mvp just so happens to have been his most dominant during that period. Mvp would of course also prove himself when Terran wasn't doing so hot, but then again the same could've been attributed to Life. Life's 2nd peak from Blizzcon 2014 - about season 2 of GSL/SSL is stll arguably the strongest peak we've ever had imo. Zerg wasn't that strong, the competiton was at its peak with everyone greatly adapted to HotS and despite all that Life seemed to be able to do just about anything and win. | ||
