"Hey guys sorry for being quiet lately I can finally say I’m going to Korea today , I’ll be staying there for a couple of months let’s see how it goes." Will he play GSL? For me it is a very exciting news. (I couldn't find anything about it here, I hope it is not posted already). LINK on his profile.

Will he play GSL? He will! He just tweeted a screenshot with the confirmation from AfreecaTV for the GSL qualifier application  | ||

It s the first time in several year, that I ll actually follow a gsl season a little bit closer I gues. Some much needed fresh air for the competition. He will have the worst seed in every single round, so it s going to be super tough and his group will always be the group of death, pretty exciting to see how far he can get | ||

Well, he already reached the Code S RO16 back in 2018, a few months before he was old enough to play in WCS officially. He's had an okay career since then, so I think he'll do fine  | ||

If Reynor wins a GSL I think he will have a higher chance the first time he plays it then consecutive attempts, and I hope someone tells him not to play Protoss. ( I don't think you can race swap in GSL actually, I think you have to choose a race when you sign up and then you must play that race. | ||

I think he has a real shot at doing very well indeed, but it will at least be fun. And hopefully he has a good time in Korea hanging out with Tasteless and the boys. | ||

. He is probably the favorite to win it all alongside Rogue, herO, Dark and Maru, anything other than ro6+ would be a disappointment | ||

Shots fired at Serral there, but I do have to agree. He doesn't seem to have the will to do what Neeb, Scarlet, Astrea, Special in the past and now Reynor will do and compete at Code S with the intent of going as far as possible if not outright winning it. But hey, it's an easier road for titles and prize money for him to beat up non-koreans than to face actual Koreans in a domestic tourney over several weeks. Reynor is a true competitor and even goes out of his comfort zone by joining a Chinese Team just to compete at WTL, even offraces as Toss on open cups and major/premiere tourneys and now is going to Korea for Code S. | ||

It seems to me Reynor may be a bit bored and is looking to shake things up for himself. Joining a Chinese team, off racing in tournaments, now going to Korea and playing GSL... | ||

Nonsense, ask the Koreans if they think Serral is a legit player or not… It’s cool to see Reynor give it a shot, it’d be cool to see others give it a shot too but why turn something cool into a barb to bash other players? | ||

Of course Korea is still one of the strongest regions, and if it's not the absolute top GSL is still one of the 2-3 most prestigious tournaments in the scene, and would be even more prestigious for a foreigner who managed to overcome the logistical and cultural hurdles. If Reynor actually wins a GSL in Korea it would be a huge boost to his status as a player. I imagine that's why he's doing it, other than the chance to improve and his general drive to compete and try things and keep himself interested. | ||

Have you ever heard of optics? Things are way different from back then when Huk or MC or Idra would shit talk other players. Things are way too PC for any player to admit that they think Serral is a bad player. They say they respect him, but only for image sake. I'd love to hear what's in their actual mind. Anyway, I was congratulating Reynor but some how people here is making this article about Serral. On August 03 2022 23:56 Captain Peabody wrote: Yeah, I don't think this is a knock against Serral in itself. Korea is no longer assumed 100% better than the rest of the world, and GSL is no longer the most prestigious tournament. Plus things have merged a lot back since the days of total region lock, so Serral plays the top Koreans pretty regularly at this point anyway. And from interviews they very much respect & fear him, seemingly more than any other foreigner.

Serral 7-3 Maru Serral 2-0 Dark Serral 7-2 Rogue Serral 0-1 herO Total 16-6 If Koreans didn't fear Serral, then they'd be very foolish. Reynor 4-7 Maru Reynor 3-2 Dark Reynor 1-0 Rogue Reynor 3-2 herO Total 11-11 They should definitely fear Reynor too, though. Looking forward to seeing what he brings to the table  | ||

Looking forward to seeing what he brings to the table No you see, some of those matches were in totally unimportant tournaments like IEM Katowice so Serral isn't a legit player. As for Reynor's chances I'm sort of pessimistic just because GSL is such a different format from what Reynor's used to. He's even said in interviews that he doesn't do much prep for opponents, which may be fine in weekenders (even there I think it hurts him some), but that definitely won't fly in GSL. His baseline skill might be good enough for a deep run, but without some adjustments I doubt he can win. | ||

It’s probably the group phases that might prove tricky in that regard, and where Reynor may hope to get through mostly on his general level. But yeah I largely agree, I think it’s partly why he’s doing this, to push himself out of his comfort zone a bit and develop that planning aspect as a player. | ||

I think someone mentioned it before, but what also working against Reynor is the seeding. He might be in the same group with one of the 3 Dark-Maru-herO, Rogue is probably a seed in Ro20 as well. Throw in another player like Cure/Solar/Ragnarok in that group and its quite tricky for Reynor to get out of the group. | ||

I believe he arrived to Korea like a week or more before GSL vs the world - which is not GSL Code S BTW - which is plenty of time to rest and recover. Koreans when going to Europe arrive within a few days - usually 2 or 3 - before the tournament. These EU tournaments are also weekend events, so its grueling on the body as well. I'm guessing you've never flown anywhere long. Europe to Europe travel is extremely easy and not very taxing on the body. | ||
