Come on guys, he's an American, I'm an American, I should have every reason in the world to support him, but I don't. How come? Because he just isn't legit. He lacks that X factor that make guys like Serral and Maru lethal. He lacks the pure raw talent of someone like Scarlett or Showtime where you can always speculate that they can get better. And he's a veteran, he's established he's not a bright shining unknown like Reynor who has nowhere to go except up. He's at his peak, this is his final form. He's a challenger, but he isn't a contender. I'm not being a hater, I'm just stating the truth. | ||

He did not the impossible. He did the very difficult. But it was possible to eliminate Maru in the Ro8. | ||

It’s like top players have similar level. But pretty sure Maru is ahead of anyone else atm. And rest top players like Classic, Stats, sOs, Zest, TY, INnoVaton, GuMiho, Dark, Serral, Rogue, soO, Solar can still take out Maru depend on condition, map, and build orders. | ||

Sc2 is very random game especially when comparing with BW. Game is much easier to control, but because of that, everyone can control and skill gap is not huge among pro players. I’ve seen tons of low level pros or even amateurs beating top pros before. The game is complicated and depend a lot on with players’ conditions, build orders, and some randomness. Any pro players can win 1 game vs Maru whether it is luck or not. Sc2 is just that kind of game. You can beat much better opponent. Unless it is difference between master and platinum. | ||

We can probably safely conclude now that Zest should not be in the list. He simply can't take a map from Maru right now. The only time he got a map from Maru was when Maru got bored. | ||

And the only reason why Serral won against Koreans in exhibition matches is because Koreans doesn't know him. It's the same case with Neeb and Scarlett. Get Serral to qualify for Code S first please. There might be some hyping and propaganda about the best foreigner who can never be beaten by any other foreigners’ level. And again this is foreign fans community and it is understandable to rate rank like this. But in terms of pure skill, I believe Serral is really in same level as top Koreans when I watch his games, he has great mechanics, fast decision making, great map understanding. And even won GSL vs World. But that is not enough proof Serral is above everyone else except Maru. He was the only one had undefeated record in WESG 18-0 against foreigners before losing 0-3 by Maru. Ppl say raven was OP there. But game 2 was simply won by Maru with bio harass + bio tank push in mid-late game. And Dark was still able to almost beat Maru in final by making 3-3 and he even defeated Maru’s raven in some games. Blizzcon will tell everything. And I remember ppl were always hyped like this about the best foreigner before when Lilbow made foreign zergs frustrated and they believed he had better style than Korean protoss. And when Neeb won kespa cup, the hype was not behind of current Serral before blizzcon. | ||

Every pros have strength and weakness depending on their styles and even tho Zest look rusty, he still made ro4 GSL and blizzcon in WCS Korea. His style is just weak vs Maru I guess. But I wouldn’t be surprised even if Zest beat Maru in bo 5 or 7 in next time. | ||
