Yes, Scarlett stayed, and that rule has since been revoked when they realized that none of the foreigners were willing to risk it points for BlizzCon to play in a prestigious tournament that honestly doesn’t benefit any of them point wise. However, I think you may get your wish before the year is out but it also depends on his schedule. Participation in a GSL requires an extended stay in Korea as well. Hopefully we have a few more foreigners play down the line: Scarlett plays all the time, would like to see Neeb and Reynor - maybe Lambo and ShoWTimE? back as well - as I think those are clearly the best Circuit players that are capable of making noise in that tourney. Then why didn't he participate GSL Code S (not GSLvsWorld) last year when every foreigners could participate? Top foreigners like Neeb, Scarlett, SpeCial, Reynor, Elazer, Lambo, Ptitdrogo participated Code S last year even when they were playing for WCS Circuit. (although Lambo and Ptitdrogo didn't make to ro32) It is true Serral always dodged Code S even when he had chances in 2017-2018. | ||

C'mon, it's Serral dodging GSL. You can fly to Korea repeatadly and pretend it's multiple weekenders. You can't do this as a Korean citizen in WCS(you need to live there 30 days before the event once you get the visa). Do we really ahve to go there every time? Also it's laughable foreigners need protection and when Koreans asked for one it's cancelled because too many good foreigners are scared about their easy points and especially funny it is when it's about t THE BEST PLAYER. Doesn't THE BEST mean THE BEST should win the tournament? So where's the risk? I cannot see it. Or is someone else the best then?  Soooo, nope. He's dodging Code S. (which is fine, I can see why, but don't defend the best dodging code S because the best is risking something...) dude you already made this argument before and could not provide a single real proof of this. Stop selling your opinions as facts, especially in a repetitive manner without improvements. | ||

Not what I meant, that's ongoing. Looks like the next is WCS Winter on April 14 but I can't tell for sure? | ||

Nah if Serral plays GSL Maru will lose the Ro4 and fail to meet him there. | ||

Hoping that Serral will find his high end game and consistency (that's relative thing in SC2 generally, and with Serral particularly). I think Inno will win this one, even I root for Serral, as he seems to be in top form currently, being also the player whom has seemingly managed crack Serral's game best. What ever, adversity will do only good for Joona! Btw. When people always require that Serral should move to Korea to compete against Koreans, why not require equally that some top Koreans (including Maru) would move to EU/NA to compete against foreigners? If it's so damn hard to some Koreans to make a trip and acclimatize to the foreign scenes, why it should be easy and obvious choice to make, and move for foreigners? Like Korean mass immigration (or Maru's individual) to WCS Circuit scene would somehow lower overall level of the circuit, or if that's most important the World's overall level. It's obvious that if Serral would go to compete GSL, the competitive level of it would rise. Why expect thing other way, but not another around? | ||

 I love both players, I think it is epic to see them in a final like this. I cannot be one bit disappointed with Serral vs Inno in the final.  | ||

Not especially bad times for Finns per se, but those gaps between matches. few days ago I took a nap after that day's matches, only to dramatically waking up from a dream where I was standing against the wall before execution squad, them asking my last wish.... I asked "Let me watch this WESG 2019 to it's conclusion, please." The dream was very vivid, and awakening rabid. Better be worth of all idle waiting! Serral! Serral! | ||

I cannot be one bit disappointed with Serral vs Inno in the final. You know, I wonder how much the "revenge" aspect plays out in a weekender tournament such as this. In a GSL format where you might have a week+ to prepare, I could see players spending that extra time and effort to prepare for a revenge match. But in this case, how much can one prepare given the fast turnaround between opponents? I'd also imagine for some players, getting too amped on the revenge angle could cause them to play emotionally / undisciplined. It might be the "robotic" players who shut down any potentially distracting emotions (e.g., Innovation, Taeja, Serral) that end up being the most devastating players in this format | ||

The games may start early as it is dependent on the games being played leading up to it. Seems kinda silly not to just play both series back to back... and as anyone who watches Brood War matches knows those matches can take quite a while to finish. It’s quite possible you’d have to stop mid match. | ||
