It's been 8 years of wonderful SC2 with countless fantastic moments and some people still say that it would be the best thing in the history of the game "for them" that Serral wins Blizzcon ??? Best thing for what? A foreigner finally wins? Were you not that entertained when guys like MVP, Life, sOs, Inno, Taeja ... gave us their best games? So people aren't personally allowed to find the idea of the "under dog" region rising to the ocassion and winning it all to be the most satisfying storyline because you personally find that ridiculous? Don't you see how hypocritical and lacking in self-awareness that is? | ||

Like it or not, foreigner vs Korean is the one rivalry that can be counted on to get people to care, and with their performances this year Serral vs Maru is the epitome of that. | ||

It is kind of sad that Blizz put their promotion so much on the foreigner winning tho, it would be nice to also have some emphasis on the Korean too, especially since a lot of the crowd watching isn't very familiar with how they have been doing now that they only play in Korea at 3 am. I understand it's probably a lot better for thr viewership to do that since there isn't a huge korean fanbase who will ever watch those english spot/commentary, but it would be nice to see some of the Koreans getting some spotlight too. | ||

Don't you see how hypocritical and lacking in self-awareness that is? Thing is Serral shouldn't be considered an underdog. It's not like europe is a deprived region when it comes to pro gaming either. Pros struggling to get as good as koreans is due to the amount of work they put in. Serral put in the work and is getting the results. He should be taken as seriously as Dark or Rogue, not as some incredible underdog doing the impossible. It's cool that a european player is competing at the highest level. It's not the best storyline of all time. If he wins blizzcon I don't see how it's any better than Rogue's story from last year. In fact I'd argue Rogue's was better because of how much harder it was for him to qualify. | ||
