He faced harder competition more often, he dominated for a longer time on top-level than Serral did (6 from WESG to GSL3 month vs 4 month from GSL vs World to HSC) and he won GSL 3 times in a row which is just insane. I don't want to discuss this. I just want to complain. I was too lazy to write it, but I approve and agree with this message. | ||

Now tell me how winning IEM Shanghai and a GSL Super tournament can be better than GSL vs the World and four WCS(plus one HSC); this if we look only at tournament victories as Serral got 3rd at WESG, 3rd/4th at Katowice and was undefeated offline for eight months in 2018 while Rogue made it out of groups twice in Code S in 2017... It could be that a foreigner winning might impress more but that's not it, the sheer amount of Serral's victories and his dominance are the impressive part; if Polt would have won in 2016 the tournaments Serral did you would have rightfully crowned him player of the year. | ||

tell me how winning four WCS (lol) and a GSL vs the world is more impressive than winning IEM Shanghai and a GSL Super Tournament. | ||

The bias is skyrocketing here. Weren't you the one suggesting to weight results giving a certain amount of points to every tournament based on their tier(assigned following your personal opinion)? Even by your own standards, four WCS should be better feat than a single IEM, despite being of a lesser tier(four points to two if i remember correctly); in addiction to that, the HSC Serral won was not a Premier tournament but very much felt like that. And you are still not considering that Serral had good results during the first part of 2018 before going undefeated while Rogue accomplished nothing before July in 2017. You are now treating WCS like it was a minor or, at best, a qualifier; the extreme disregard towards any tournament not having korean presence is what makes this discussion ultimately sterile. | ||

If Rogue had participated in WCS in 2017 he'd have won 4 as well on top of IEM Shanghai, Super Tournament and Blizzcon. That's why I have trouble treating Serral's WCS victories very highly. He just gets rewarded for playing in an easier region. Next thing is we treat Special as the next bonjwa because he wins every Copa america | ||

He just gets rewarded for playing in an easier region. Next thing is we treat Special as the next bonjwa because he wins every Copa america Let's assume what you say it's true(and it isn't, at all) Rogue in 2017 before July? He was nowhere near top 5KR so I highly doubt it; he was in great shape around Montreal but Neeb in top form could have been a match for him. Thinking consecutive victories are granted is foolishness unless the competition is of very low level compared to the one of the player who's entering it; we are not speaking of Malaysian Sc2 championship, WCS is easier than GSL but definitely not as easy as you are making it to be judging from your statements. Any top 5 in KR might win a WCS, that's true; but it's not granted they would and I highly doubt they could have swept the Circuit in 2018 like Serral did as he is and was better than any of them(at least after May). Even without Serral in the circuit, the amount of ZvZ would have been too hard for Rogue and Dark(Serral almost faltered in Montreal and he's better than them); TY is not consistent and TvT is his best matchup. Stats could have and Maru would have most likely done it. If they were to play against Serral they would have probably won Leipzig and nothing else; don't be so sure Maru would have won GSL 2 and 3 if Serral was there, on the other hand. Saying Rogue's 2017 can rival or exceed Serral's 2018 defies reason and it's a ridicolously biased conclusion. Maru's 2018 is way closer and we can have a proper discussion here; Maru was the better player in the first part of the year but Serral was relatively more dominant after that. He won more tournament including the most prestigious one, more money, had a better streak(the best in history, to say the truth); the environment Maru played in was harder on average, but not enough to close the gap in results. I understand you can't agree with me as you think Code S counts more than BlizzCon and WCS are on par with Olimoleague monthly finals. | ||
