Reynor is still going to school, too; that he will become Serral 2.0 is a bold statement but he is not playing full time at the moment, we can't really say he won't.

Isn't Reynor in Korea right now?
I'm assuming he is no longer in school?

it's also totally fine to be a TY or Trap 2.0 where you debut very early but only realize your full potential years later

Yeah, he's in Korea now, but he still going to an online school, so as not to have any issues with absences due to tournaments and stuff.
Edit: grammar.

I agree with you.
However, Reynor to me is already closer to his full potential than TY or Trap were back in the days; obviously, the perspective is different since he is not korean.

I actually think that Serral is Stephano 2.0. I remember back in the day when Stephano was slaying Koreans. And he didn't even have to practice, which was the crazy thing.

Stephano practiced. He just said he didn't. It was part of his character to downplay his own practice. I don't know if he strait up lied to mind game his opponents, or if he thought that the other players practiced with higher quality or just more time.
