Let's get a Clem or herO in there. Or if we can't get an underdog, let Serral complete his trophy case. Or if none of that, give it to EonBlu. "0 personality" ah the old racist trope of koreans having no face. Have you seen Serral speak? He's not the most colorful personality, so where's his 0 personality attachment? | ||

Aided by the memes and impersonations, but still very funny and personable in a dry kind of way. Maru gives nothing in interviews and Rogue comes off flat a lot of the time (and cheeses out our favorite players so he's an easy villain), and don't show much elsewhere, so that's what I have to go by. Not insulting them as people, they're just not some of the more charismatic Koreans such as Stats, Byun, etc. I guess hang me up by my feet and beat me like a piñata for holding that opinion. Also, my main point was wanting to see someone else win who's really good but hasn't had much success recently. And the joke was if I couldn't have that, let Serral take it--because admittedly, I'm a Serral fanboy. Incidentally, not because he's white. It's honestly kind of sad how awful the internet has become. I'm racist for thinking 2 Koreans are boring. Back in the day, people would just call each other anything and you'd just have to take it. Now, you don't even say anything and people dogpile you. Disgusting. Oh well, that's what I get for posting on a forum in 2022! | ||

Saying someone has no personality is basically a direct attack on their personhood. It's a lot more offensive than calling someone boring. I think Serral is a lot more boring than Rogue personally. I think it's quite hilarious you are calling people responding to your post disgusting when they are just doing what you were doing--sharing their opinion. I think it's hilarious when Rogue cheeses out Serral too. What a statement! His personality is even reflected in his gameplay. | ||

Yeah, your opinion that Serral shows more personality than Rogue and Maru is at best heavily biased in favor of Serral and against Rogue and Maru, because objectively seen he doesn't show much more personality. Don't need to play the victim when people call out your bullshit Also back in the day, people would call each other much worse things than just "racist" | ||

Either way, Serral, Rogue, Dark, Reynor are the favourites. As they always are with world championships. Zest or Maru winning would be fantastic however so I'm cheering for them. | ||

It baffles me how you can honestly believe saying that the favourite players of a lot of people on this forum have no personality would not get you backlash. It's one thing for you to not be particularly interested in them but in stating they had 0 personality you were not indifferent but actively negative. Shockingly enough that rubbed people the wrong way. Who'd have thought Also you definitely insulted them as people. "Stumble through the land of 0 personality"? Wth? It felt like a troll post had you not kept on defending your position Also, my main point was wanting to see someone else win who's really good but hasn't had much success recently. And the joke was if I couldn't have that, let Serral take it--because admittedly, I'm a Serral fanboy. Incidentally, not because he's white. You could have said that without, you know, dissing Rogue and Maru It's honestly kind of sad how awful the internet has become. I'm racist for thinking 2 Koreans are boring. Back in the day, people would just call each other anything and you'd just have to take it. Now, you don't even say anything and people dogpile you. Disgusting. Oh well, that's what I get for posting on a forum in 2022! Cut the "back in my day" crap. If you had posted something of a similar sentiment 15 years ago you would have gotten the exact same reaction. You are the one not being able to handle criticism here, people telling you you overstepped but you won't hear it and instead will blame today's culture. That's just a cheap excuse I'm sorry I kept derailing the thread, but this post is so delusional I couldn't help it. To come back on-topic, I feel one of Maru, Rogue or Dark will take it. I think Zest's in good shape but I doubt he can brawl his way through the whole bracket. Maru I feel like is in excellent form, and Rogue and Dark I have the mental fortitude to win the whole thing, something I have seen Serral lack sometimes, at least after his 2018 stint. Oh who am I kidding, Scarlett's gonna win the whole thing it's not even gonna be close Also, very nice production on the video! | ||

Also: Feel free to use parts of the video for your own use / react to it. Greets MorVDeeP That invite to criticism is something I'd like to use. A general rule for good feedback is to mention 2 good things for every 1 bad thing you mention, called "2 stars and a wish" in the discourse terminology. Stars: 1. Good pacing. The interviewed weren't talking for too long, which often is allowed to happen by amateurs. They were talking, some relevant footage was cut in and the video moved on. Very good for this short of a video. 2. Good usage of other footage. The footage felt both relevant and it wasn't used too much. The cuts between person and other footage felt very natural. You often showed the person more than one time. I liked that. Wish: The sound of the other footage was too loud compared to the people talking. The swap between was jarring to my ears. Adjust the sound levels between different footage used. I would have preferred if the actual interview was the louder of the two, but only slighlty louder (barefly noticable difference). Now it was the opposite. Stars: 1. Well picked music track. The music wasn't dominating while also giving a bit of tension to the ambience. 2. The text added to clarify stuff (MaxPax isn't participating) was a good thing to include. Having a small correcrion or reminder when it is relevant is good. It should be there long enough to be read by everyone without needing to pause or rewind to read it. Wish: Lower the music slightly. A few of the interviewed was a bit hard to listen to for me. I have a hard time differentiating sounds, and I know that I am not the only one. Reynor could be heard just fine, but the next 2 were hard to hear. So the music volume was only a tad to high. Then the main question of who I think will be the champion. Rogue is my strongest guess even if he hasn't shown many strong games the last couple of months. Serral could take it on raw baseline performance being high. Maru looks to be the strongest player at the moment, but he often has weird losses in big tournaments so he is my #3. I hope that Clem shows great games and I anticipate herO making a big splash. My heart says Zest is Best and that he will make the unoffical champion of the world obsolete by just not playing after becoming the World Champion. | ||

thank you very much for taking the time! really really apprectiated. I will defintily be looking into how I can improve my audio for the next videos, I am very grateful for the feedback. I find it interesting, that 3-4 people already mentioned herO (here and in other threads). He did not strike me as someone who is capable of winning the big tournaments (as of now). I think it might be a mix of good online results and being a fan favorite?! I will definitly watch hime closely in Katowice. | ||
