For every one doubting sOs I would advice going back to watch the pre-show of the 2013 Blizzcon final, it's one of the funniest things in the world.

The biggest storyline ever in sc2 has nothing to do with the actual games or tournament run. It's just nationality of course.

Or that's what blizzard seem to want to push anyway.


Big storylines happen when you give people something to root for. It isn't really Blizzard's fault that nationality is the one lasting thing in SC2 that partisanship formed around. As for tournament run, part of it is also that we have the undefeated GSL champion vs the undefeated WCS champion.

I mean blizzard actively promoted this korean vs foreigner rivalry with the region-lock and stating it's cool to see local heroes standing up against koreans - then organizing tournaments like GSL vs the world etc


What other rivalry would you rather have Blizzard try (and fail) to promote?

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.

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.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

sOs coming through and winning it would be the funniest thing in the world.

I'm right there Olli. As bad as I want the dream Maru vs Serral finals I think this whole thing is basically just going to be a repeat performance of GSL vs The World.

okokokok...

Now I want to make predictions too:


Maru - SOS 3 - 2
Special - Stats 1 - 3

Rogue - TY 3 - 2
Dark - Serral 1 - 3

Maru - Stats 3 - 2
Rogue - Serral 2 - 3

Maru - Serral 4 - 3

But if SOS defeats Maru I would be really happy

Serral winning would make it an insane year for him. Of course, it was already an incredible year for him. If you ask me Serral winning two tournaments in a row against koreans would make it the best achievement of any foreigner so far for me, especially considering this is Blizzcon.
