Also fun fact in the last two expansion there has been a total of 39 premiers tournaments finals with at least 1 foreigner, of these 39, 36 had at least 1 zerg, the exeptions beeing uThermal-Neeb in Shanghai, Neeb-Trap in Kespa Cup and Lilbow-Mana in Poland. Fun fact | ||

It's so fast-paced and action-packed, and can be really complex; perhaps not in unit compositions variety, but certainly decision making. ZvZ, regardless of skill level, is the most boring matchup in the game. I won’t be watching the finals lol | ||

I don't really like this much of balance whine/complaining near new patch. Infested Terran is being addressed. I don't like Neural Parasite as mechanic( Serral vs Trap IEM 2018 ), but too heavy and many changes mid year is bad, because pros focus on current. Especially late game changes will not be tested enough, because it isn't reached too seldom. Still I hope we will see first version of post Blizzcon patch, that includes some kind of Infestor rework, before GSL S3 and WCS Montreal concludes. | ||

Korean Zergs don't tend to play late game (or not good at), that's part of the reason why European zergs are doing so much better these days. Why would Korean Zergs ignore an important aspect of their play. It would be like a soccer team that don’t like kicking corners or a basketball team that doesn’t like shooting three pointers. | ||

Foreigners have proven once and for all they can reach the same peaks as Koreans and locking out top Koreans hardly does any favors for the Foreign scene anymore. It's seriously a huge disservice that there are so much fewer tournaments that fans of Korean players can watch anymore. one tournament doesnt show that the foreigners are on their level. and it still hurts the foreign scene because all of the Ro-32 and Ro-16 wcs players wont be able to beat the koreans | ||

What's wrong with Ro32/Ro16 players getting knocked out of tournaments? Isn't Special/Neeb/Scarlett doing the same thing to Ro32 level Koreans in GSL? | ||

I've been the biggest GSL fan but it was always a bit sad to see the Koreans secretly look down on the foreigners. Now it's no longer Serral standing out as an anomaly. Other foreigners regularly beat the best Koreans these days, or at least give them a run for their money. TY, Trap, Stats, Classic, soO...legendary Koreans all dead at the hands of foreigners. Some highlights for me: - The moment yesterday when Classic-Special were tied 2-2 where it was so close to being an all-foreigner semi-finals. What?! Imagine 4 foreigners battling it out at the usual playground in the middle of Seoul where the best Koreans have been doing their thing for years. Just amazing. The Koreans can only look on haplessly as the foreigners have taken over their stage. - People getting excited about a Terran almost usurping Serral and that Terran wasn't even Korean (TIME vs Serral at Asus ROG). Against Serral--after TIME's performance at Asus RoG, INno's performance at IEM and TY's performance at HomeStory cup, I'm pretty much over the whole Maru vs Serral hypetrain. - Elazer making it to the tournament as a vote-hoarding laughing stock and putting all his naysayers in their places with some epic performances. He's a nice bloke who's clearly quite skilled and deserves respect. - Neeb smashing Stats, Elazer smashing Dark, TIME smashing soO. Korea's best Ps and Zs taken out by different non-Serral foreigners with ease. My favourite players are still certain Koreans. I'll probably still follow GSL more closely than WCS due to my attachment to the players and regular visits to the GSL studios. But I can't help but feel a renewed zest for the SC scene globally. Things have really come alive this year. I hope Afreeca runs more GSL vs the Worlds in the future, these events are just so amazing. | ||

Sc2's balance this year hasn't been especially bad AND we have a patch coming out in mere days that's addressing the majority of the problems in addiction to buffing Terran for free, how pointless could it be to complain now? Balance had little to do with results in this tournament and I also want to remind you that Serral was the only Zerg winning Premier tournaments when he was invincible last year while Infestors were not even meta. | ||

You’re a monster. TIME and Special going 6-0 against soO and Reynor is just them playing the master race well, if they subsequently lose it’s balance though | ||
