GSL vs. The World 2019

GSL vs. The World became WCS Seoul as Elazer and Serral locked in an all-Circuit Zerg final on day three of the tournament. After achieving what seemed like a fluke upset against Dark in the Ro16, #8 ranked Circuit play Elazer extended his underdog run by defeating TIME and Neeb to reach the grand finals. Meanwhile, Serral resumed his Korean-beating ways after previously losing to Stats at ASUS ROG Summer, reaching the GSL vs. The World finals by beating TY, Trap, and Classic in consecutive matches.

GSL vs. The World 2019 will conclude on August 18th with the best-of-seven grand finals between Serral and Elazer, preceded by a Proleague-style team match between Team Dark and Team Serral.

Team Dark: Dark, Reynor, Stats, TIME, TY, SpeCial, soO, HeroMarine
Team Serral: Serral, Maru, ShoWTimE, Classic, Elazer, Trap, Neeb, FanTaSy

Conspiracy theory: Zerg becoming broken and terran being trash is intentional by blizzard to buff foreigners and lessen korean dominance.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Maybe Blizzard shouldn't implement buffs and nerfs when they don't actually think a race is a problem.

So what we needed for the historic moment of having the first non-korean final in a korean-based tournament was to get YouTube polish people vote for players instead of the StarCraft community?

I have a feeling once these Protoss nerfs go through we are going to see much more Zerg dominance.

I am not looking forward to that era.

I actually think that when the zerg nerf goes through we will see less zerg dominance.

Well that's another finals skipped for me, what a disappointing result after some exciting games earlier.

At least there is still team competition to watch.

Korea has finally become a ZvZ fiesta with no Terrans just like Europe, this is the worst timeline.
Has foreign StarCraft hit rock bottom?

Elazer's been pretty impresive, I thought Neeb would beat him and prevent a ZvZ finals. I usually don't enjoy watching ZvZ but Serral impressed me in his ZvZs last year, so I hope tomorrow's games are insane
