typical usa view putting reynor and scarlet to high
also heromarine is nr 1 eu terran since ages

Good to know Lambo, Mlord, Clem, Showtime are na tier or the etc is that extended ?
(And wtf dns, he is not even the best french protoss, not the same categorie as the others mentionned)
Edit : Gratz Serral, I prefered Stephano/Life but it feels good to have a foreigner doing consistently well against the koreans.

You say its typical usa view to put Reynor too high (tier 2) and then you go on to put him equally high (tier 2). lol so funny 
Hope to see Serral keep up these results, would be fun if TY starts making some progress in GSL as well!

Good writing.
But cant you see why this is happening ? Years after years after years we have been waiting for a foreinger player, that does regularly go head to head with Koreans and even win sometimes. All these years Korean "elitists" have shunned any foreingers or even belittled their plays all the time. I cant remember all the names here of course, but Naniwa, Stephano, Scarlett.......and the other few that have shown talent and ambition to match the Koreans. All the time you have had to read "they are fluke" or "they never win a tournament, when xxxxx Korean player is participating" etc. Then there comes Serral from nowhere and suddenly stomps all Koreans to the ground. I can propably speak for many of the "zealots" here to say that it felt Gooooooooooood.
Still, even in 2018, there were some active writers here that liked to point out the terms "Fluke"...."Joke compared to Maru"....."Only wins in foreinger tournaments". This tournament finally kinda put an end to the speculations, where the last of the Titans called "TY" would wipe the floor with Serral if they ever met or played a decent macro game. And yeah, after having a bit rocky start in 2019 (meaning he didnt win all tournaments), he still managed to swipe TY twice with no sweat at all. Of course now the excuse propably is that "TY wasnt at his best" or "Serral just luckied out" or some other bullshit.
Cant you guys really even once say, that he was the best player in this tournament ? Or that he is one of the best if not the best player in the world atm ? You dont have to admit he is the best, but for gods sake he is up there and at any given day he can challenge any player in the world head to head without being afraid to lose. That doesnt mean that he doesnt lose to anybody or that he is invincible, which he clearly isnt. But for the first time ever in Starcraft we have a player outside of Korea, that can dominate tournaments like no one has before.
Altough it of course introduces over the top fanatics and fanboys too, but so what ? So have all the other great champions done in the past. It isnt Serrals fault, and it should never, ever downgrade his accomplishments. When you try to deny or belittle his wins, dont you see that you just throw more gasoline to these fanatics ? Or is that just what you are hoping for ??
Anyways, GG WP to Serral yet again. Amazing victory

You actually got it backwards. Serral isn't really celebrated that much on Team Liquid(Reddit is a totally different thing); actually, the anti-Serral minority was making a disproportionate amount of similarly oriented post when I was still lurking. I have rarely seen a player so contested after his victories and so discredited after his rare losses(WESG 2018 and how Serral was "crushed").
If you want to see true veneration just look at how the people here worship Maru as the perfect korean specimen winning the ultimate competition multiple times; his losses were followed by a choir of despair(as it should be the case), I saw veery few attempts to show how overrated he was(as a player, he wasn't, his skill is superb; his accomplishments someway are, but that's my opinion), unlike it happened many times after Serral's victories.
The fact Serral is not a korean makes it more difficult to compare his level and his accomplishments to the other greats, as well as leading people to consider him the favourite in tournaments where koreans participate less often than it should if we would simply look at results; too bad that too little facts(win ratios and statistics) and too many opinions("Olimoleagues are more prestigious than WCS", "Serral would have never beaten a korean Terran, such bracket luck") are taken into the discussion when one happens to start(way too frequently).
To answer to some of your points: the request that Serral plays in Code S comes more from the anti-fans, his losses are justified way less than it happens with other players, the Power Ranking is in debt of at least one(if not two) glaring first place Serral had to be given(the obnoxious "Drunk Rank").

Glad TYTY is up there again. Also really good plays from the Zester. Congratz to Serral. Looked a bit shaky after TY has thrown every strat possible his way, but collected himself and won anyway.

he thinks reynor is on a different tier than other top europeans like heromarine elazer lambo
he is putting other europeans on tier 3 and reynor on 2, there is the important difference

Serral wins mostly in foreigner tournaments, what's so wrong in stating that? And up until GSL vs TW it was true, he got beaten by Koreans up until that match but he was being hyped way before that(and he lost in the NW before that either).
Also no one in their right mind would consider TY giant ATM. He has worse results than Maru and Maru is very questionable at best. Let's hope TY will follow Innovation's path and will be only better onwards but currently it reminds me HSC18. And usually not that many people were denying the Serral form at the tournament while they were denying "the best player of the world" which cannot be decided from his rare games against Koreans when he doesn't play the top while he is at the top. He should be defeating these Koreans if we consider him top4. NONE of the Koreans there were top4 Koreans except Stats. (edit> Classic, Stats, Innovation, Dark IMO and I am not sure about Stats)

how surprising.
It's not normal to win every event you enter. like really. in the past 1 1/2 years, he won like 10/12 events he entered. Granted, only 4 of those had top korean participation, but he's 3/4 in those as well.
It boggles my mind there is ppl who don't think serral is #1 worldwide. Dark #1 cuz he just won a GSL? Do you know how many attemps Dark needed to win a GSL?
In the past 18 months, Serral would probably need 1 or 2 attempts at that, let's be honest.

uthermal has a way higher chance of beating serral than heromarine. I would also say uthermal is more likely to beat top end koreans. Heromarine is more consistant against other foreigners.
They are pretty close, i'd put uthermal slightly above Heromarine still. Not only cuz he has a higher potential, he's also the only one who is close-ish to serral's Ladder MMR with a peak of almost 7.2k - Serral: almost 7.6k btw LUL.
Special is slightly above both of them.
Reynor and Neeb are in the same tier. Reynor challanges Serral on a constant basis, even beat him to win a WCS once. clearly #2 in europe, no quesiton about it at this point. Neeb sadly has way less competition to prove himself in Challangers.
Watch my foreigner ranking from last week if ur interested in my view
https://tl.net/blogs/549241-subjective-foreigner-ranking-june-2019
with last tournament, i would slightly tweak A Tier:
4-Special / 5-uthermal / 6-Scarlett / 7-Lambo / 8-Elazer / 9-Heromarine / 10-ShoWTimE / 11-Time
Showtime has the potential to even get into the A+ Tier, and he was there 18 months ago, but sadly, he doesn't perform in tournaments. Seems to be a mental blockade

Top kek. Heromarine 2-0'd Serral a few months ago, and he 3-0'd Reynor yesterday

Well at least until next Blizzcon, Serral IS the best sc2 player on the world. That's what this title means. There shouldn't be argue about that. And comparing Stephano and Scarlett to him is also little bit too much, as they never get close to what Serral achieved as a foreigner in sc2 or Broodwar world. He won Blizzcon for god sake. Also he doesn't seem to stop there, as he dominates this year too. That's why he gets so much hype, and I'm not suprised. He deserves it.
Even TY said before the finals: "Serral is god". So not only psychofans are stating this :-)

Why not? The top4 players are Classic, Serral, Dark, and Innovation. We can discuss the Inno part and replacing him with Stats(maybe? not sure). Except Seral none of these were present at HSC so I don't know how you can say he's the best when he did beat players he's supposed to beat if we consider him at least being in the top4.
Or you can elevate all the players being at the HSC to godlike status and even then Classic still has the best argument for being the best player of the world at this moment
Edit>
I, personally, would put Serral at the 2nd place right after Classic as Inno isn't exactly the greatest and Serral appears to have Dark's number(and he isn't the greatest either). Dark/Inno 3rd/4th (the same with Innovation -> Stats)

As much as I loved Serrals play here and I'm very impressed by his play this doesn't make him the best in the world. Never ever has anyone claimed a player was the greatest because of a HSC win, its just too small.
The only top players he defeated were soO (got BO8 last season GSL, not even in the last powerrank and not even close to top 4) and TY twice (whom got knocked out in the RO32 in the last GSL season by sOs and Ragnarok and isn't even placed in the powerrank either, also far from top4)
So Serral defeated two good koreans (and lots of foreigners) whom aren't even top 10 players and therefore he is obviously world champion?
lol I don't want to belittle Serrals accomplishment because his result and gameplay is awesome but this result says nothing about best in the world. He lost to Stats and haven't played Classic, Maru, Innovation, Trap or Dark.
