A) Increase top-heavy winner pot of SC2 tournament B) Hire few more bureaucrats C) Pay a media campaign for fixing already soiled reputation Its all absurd to the bones as they have the product and the brand that cannot fail if handled properly. Properly = as strategic asset, requiring basic level maintain and personnel (winks, winks, that could be easily and cheeply subcontractable), low-level marketing (even more easier (and cheaper), and infrastructure (that is already obsolete relative to a demands of games of the day). But! But! It doesn't make profit! Those fucking idiots cannot adapt there! They are unable to scale downwards! They are unable to trade a quantity to quality! They cut, cut, cut, when they should invest more. They waste resources to inventing wheel again. 3-7 guys professional team of enthusiasts could maintain whole GEM better than that deeply rotten bureaucracy, set by owners knowing anything, recognizing any other value than dollars/month (even when they could make much more /decade)... They over pay current elite players, discounting the future. No investments for the future of the competitive scene. Luckily, SC2 will be the first game to get reverse-engineered by those same guys who aren't admins and devs of the game currently. Shame on you Blizzard! *yawn* | ||

You didn't get an orgasm when observing he overran a map simultaneously from 3 different fronts? Pathetic. Iron 9. Hole in one! User was temp banned for this post. | ||

There was never a time since late 2018 that Serral should've fallen to #2, let alone #3. Reynor should also be on the list, but he gets ignored just because he hasn't had enough opportunities to prove himself against the "big league" gsl players. Apparently, taking two series off of the best player in the world twice in one year to win two tournaments doesn't count for much around here. Some idiot claimed that there's a pro-foreigner bias. lol It's the opposite—it's pro-Korean, by far. Yes, we know Koreans dominate this game, but that's no excuse for being so negligent towards Reynor's super-consistent high performance. I think that's almost disrespectful. Reynor looks pretty bad against top koreans. Only looking good vs Serral isn't enough for top 10. He also plays really gimmicky at times and tries to trick serral. No straight up macro wins. | ||

Also, I fully agree with evanreyes(now living in Finland, apparently....): Zest being #10 is a questionable decision. As for MARY, even if that was the case, he would fail at Super Tournament(not to mention BlizzCon) and quickly abandon his newfound #1. | ||

Did ENCE pay off TL or something? | ||

The only questionable decision is the one you took when you registered an account with the sole intention of trolling and hating on Serral; your words are vain, the overwhelming evidence is that our finnish friend absolutely deserves the #1 spot and that ENCE's money is well spent on Serral's salary. | ||

I'll put Maru considering the new patch, his tvp must have improved a lot (I guess it is his only real downside) and he seems on a very good shape, able to defeat anybody. He would most likely be the big favorite against any foreigner who is not serral (and maybe against neeb, only favorite) whereas Dark should struggle against the top eu zvz. Edit : Why is Serral's liquipedia page not already edited ? His first place place in the TL ranking should be added.  | ||

I mean aside from the fact that the exact effects of the patch would just be an educated guess and that all in all Maru had a weak August (0-3 in GSL vs World main tournament, barely beat TIME in team match) and shaky start to November (he should have gone out in the Ro16 but Stats was feeling generous), if you dock Dark points for his problems against Elazer and Serral, you should also dock Maru points because he can't beat TY and INnoVation. | ||
