I think Serral and Reynor were both a bit bewildered by Byun's micro ability - fights that they would normally win were one-sided because Byun's micro is on a different level to every other Terran.
Oh god we're really back in the era where ByuN doing literally anything gets him praised as showing the best micro of all time in any game ever.

Serral and Reynor will adapt and Byun's weaknesses will be exploited but wow it was fun to watch Byun take them down.
People will look solely at results when deciding the GOAT but one guy with passion lasting over 10 years that just sits in his room and plays his fucking heart out for 12 hours a day till his wrists bleed. He took on Kespa teams in 2016 and European zergs (who are as organized as a Kespa team) in 2020 with predictable and suboptimal openers but made it work through sheer talent and force of will.
For this reason Byun will always be GOAT for me. His style is just remarkable - it's so damn exciting and watchable.
that was beautiful to read. well said. life will always be the goat, but byun surely is close second for me.

Life is like Maradona. I was thinking a crazy idea the other day with my colleagues at work. If kespa is dead than life ban should be dismissed. I was actually thinking why not make a crowd funding. I can easily rise 50k and make a tournament league to bring life back to pro, but as a foreigner outside kespa. It would be the kind of think sc2 needs to resurrect.

I simply cannot understand people like you. I hope the starcraft-community boycotts any tournement which includes cheaters/matchfixers. People like them should never again be able to play professionaly at all, at any point in their lives. Same for doping-cheater in other sports btw. In my opinion its the only chance to keep sports somewhat fair and clean.
While it's cool to circlejerk old pros, let's be real.
Life is not the GOAT when you see the competition that Serral faces nowadays and still comes out on top (most of the time). You also have Reynor who is on the rise and contesting hard the #1 spot.

Serral winning 2 tournaments this year sure sounds like he wins most of the time. Reynor as well with his one tournament win. They are undisputed GOATs for sure !

Maru won KoB, Inno won nothing this year. What's your point?

Maru won the first Super Tournament and KoB. I dare to say ST is bigger than KoB

and TY? Rogue?
Don't know. I thought we just throw random stuff around.
Finally managed to catch up with all the VODs and wow what a treat this tournament was!! My thoughts:
- So happy to see BuyN come back and do THIS. Top performance and a very deserved trophy - I am (still) a fan!
- The Serral vs BuyN series was absolutely awesome and game 5 must have been one of the best this year! A real display of why Sc2 can be one of the best spectator E-sports!
- Lambos casting added a lot to the insights and viewer experience - really enjoyed that. Danke schön Lambo!
- Protoss still a DED race Final two eliminated in RO8 without a single map win. Will catch up on the super tournament the next few days (I'm way behind at the moment) and hoping for a Toss Christmas miracle there (yeah right)...
