Great article thanks!

Fun fact: Maru's year was more impressive than Serral's.


It would've been if he had won Blizzcon (or gotten further than Serral at least), but it was pretty even between them up until Blizzcon, but not now.

The fact anyone can say this is outright bizarre. Before Serral won blizzcon they were sitting on one weekender each, with Maru having three GSLs on top of that.

I swear if soO, Dark, or Rogue had won the exact same events as Serral, people would have agreed Maru's year was better. Not too long ago Rogue won four weekenders in a row (2x as many with koreans as Serral) and no one except Artosis was singing his praise to this extent.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Give us the power rank! This is a great article, but I need to see Serral at the top of a power rank before he possibly bombs in HSC and gets placed lower.

They did a BlizzCon power rank less than two weeks ago. Maybe next one is December.

I think Serral winning Blizzcon was a big mental hurdle the foreign community needed to overcome. Foreigners have a reputation of shrinking in big moments but Serral didn't and hopefully that will trickle down to the rest of the community.

Rogue accomplished nothing before his three weekenders in 2017 and IEM WC was in 2018.

Serral's only accomplishment before GSLvsTW and blizzcon were his WCS wins and the value of those is disputed.

In fact Rogue made double GSL ro8 before his streak which is comparable to winning 4 wcs seasons in terms of difficulty imo.

Now we are back to Korean elitist Chairosaur; I actually preferred the "god bonjwa Serral" one, tbh!

I don't think there can even be a discussion if you are convinced making to Ro8 in GSL twice is better than winning 4 WCS; then, i guess, Gamja is way stronger than Serral in your eyes as he made Ro8 in the last ONPOONG Unranked tournament.

I think it's worth nothing that Rogue won another premier tournament just a few months after patch 4.0. And only lost 5 maps (3 of which to Maru) in that tournament.

Didn't know Onpoong unranked tournament is a GSL...
If you compare the paths GSL ro8 is for sure harder than winning WCS. Maru for example was in the last season in the easiest group and had to beat Reynor and Neeb to advance - that could as well be the opponents in ro4 and finals in a WCS event.

It's not a GSL but it's Korean, so incredibly more competitive than any foreigner tournament.

Seriously speaking, for a Korean Zerg winning WCS could be probably harder than winning GSL right now, given how they perform against Serral and their understanding of ZvZ; not like they actually win GSL, Life was the last.

If I compare the paths Blizzcon is easier than Montreal; it is for real?

Your posted worked better as a sarcastic remark before the edit.

There are two players of the year this year, but there can only be one bonjwa of our hearts.

Amazing writeup - thanks to the TL crew.
