5. Serral ain't even in it: lol can you imagine watching Starcraft 2 without the god king Serral? What's next, BW without Flash!?


This is not a response that will make me popular. This is not a post that will start negative but end with eloquent, poignant hope. But we have been skirting around this topic ever since 2018 now, so I’ll just f**king say it:

The competition in Korea at this point is a farce.


This but semi-seriously, farce really is hyperbolic ofc, but GSL is both lacking in potential champions as well as two of the outright best players in the world

That said GSL has reasonably regular Terran/Protoss presence in the finals, and the former have even won a few, so transplanting Serral and Reynor over will make GSL reflect what we’ve seen in the World Championships for a while

Well, GSL is a lot weaker than it was before, but I would still consider it the most prestigious tournament after IEM Katowice. This is especially true in the COVID era because GSL remained offline, and I think we should take online results with a grain of salt. It's understandable why we took them more seriously during the COVID era because we had almost nothing else, but hopefully once lans become more regular we'll be skeptical of them again.

Once we have more regular lans with Serral, Reynor, Clem, and 5-6 of the top Koreans it will be debatable whether GSL is still the second most prestigious tournament though. Because I think the format of GSL tests for skill better than weekenders I'll still consider it the second most prestigious tournament, but that's a very subjective judgement on my part.


Finding 6 koreans still playing SC2 competitevely, that is a pretty optimistic outlook on future lans..

Actually Reason #1 to Boycott GSL:

Finals are on a Thursday. I mean... what? What respectable tournament of any sort has finals on a Thursday?

Already boycotting, but not for the reasons written
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

There is a reason it is called "Greatest of all time", not "best of all time". Sure, it mostly is about skill and accomplishements, but if you can't even hold up the lowest of standards, your name really does not belong in the GOAT-discussion.

This surely is a troll post.
He wants Serral, but doesn't want soO? soO won a trophy! Other players from the army are also showing great performances, like DRG and Dream. Wtf you missed Neeb's Ro4, talking about great foreign players? And who denies Serral to participate in GSL?
Wrist issues because of the player's height? Really? Maru somehow won 4 trophies consequetively
I enjoy dubstep and speed metal over K-POP, but there are plenty of K-POP in Korea, go check it out!
Time-consuming activity? So set aside GSL, other time of your ordinary day are all helpful?
Tasteless lost his passion? When and where?

That's just a post of Byun fanboy (patch terran reaper guy) and Rogue (not a patch zerg, as it turned out) hater.
Dude if you have a problem with GSL you can skip it

Anal? I think you meant Annal.. and the use of the word “slimy” doesn’t produce a pleasant image when you follow up with that particular misspelled word..lol
