It's kind of funny that players who haven't even reached a semi are going to BlizzCon, just because of how dominant Serral has been in hogging all of the points.

In many ways this year's BlizzCon attendees are "how much bracket luck did you have avoiding Serral/Maru"

Nerchio is a good lad who has zero chance here. But I wish him well.



Yo Serral fan boi don’t forget Classic, Dark, Stats, TY. They all have better chance to defeat Maru than Serral.

You didn't understand him. He said that some people who made it to Blizzcon were lucky to avoid Serral or Maru in their respective regions. Not that in Blizzcon people will be lucky to avoid them.

Not everything is about the petty Maru vs Serral argument.

That's cuz foreign scene only has 1 S-class player. And Korean scene has more than 5 S-class players with a S+ class player Maru.

And I am not that interested in fully understanding someone's unimportant comment as English is not my 1st language anyway. And I am not really saying my opinion. It is just pure truth that every single high level players already know.

I always cheer for Nerchio when he plays, I like his style of play and personality.

He's going to have a hard time in Blizzcon though. All other players seem to be faster than him, and nowadays that matters a lot.

Go go Godchio!

I appreciate Nerchio, he's been one of the top Zergs in Europe since the game came out basically, but... I just can't see him making it out of his group in Anaheim, and in all honesty, I think he'll probably get last. I would be absolutely thrilled to see him show us otherwise though - it would be a proper result to sort of cap off a career like his that may be ending soon enough.

It would be nice for the old vet to reach the RO8 in his third try, but at the same time I'd also just enjoy having TL shitposter nerchio around for the RO8 as well XD

The articles is missing a few important points. 1. not enough of red bull. 2. not enough of red bull. I give 14 red bull caps of 10 for it.

Too much Red Bull is dangerous!

Curiously enough Serral's article is going to be the only one where isn't mentioned at all.

Excellent. Anyone who thinks my views are unimportant deserves to be punished to the full extent of the law.

However to explain further (although explanation appears unwanted) I meant that you effectively need fewer points than ever to reach BlizzCon this year because two guys are hogging all the points at the top, so everyone else has fewer. Which is why Nerchio is through despite having not even made a semi final.
