Maru vs ByuN led to very close games recently, I can see ByuN taking it if Maru isn't at 100% of is form which is usually the case overseas. Maybe some P players can also break him in bo3 but bo5 not so sure.
The tournament style should also be taken into consideration as some players thrive through intensive days, we could have some underdogs stories.

hilarious player categories :D :D

"People will get mad if I don't mention them" may be the GOAT category name

Feels like zoun, soo and ryung should also get mentions, they've had deep runs in tournaments people weren't expecting them to do well in before, I think they stand some long shot chance of getting deep.

Where is Neeb and Astrea, they will have home-field for the entire event, and should be solid in top 10. But great write up as always, Wax.


As if that matters. Since when have American players performed particularly well at American events? I mean, other than Polt that is.


Neeb at WCS Austin. It was a hugely impressive result at the time, even though he had won Kespa cup several months before. I mean, it was difficult to predict that he would go on to win Jonkoping and Montreal in the same year


Ok so we have exactly one event that someone can name.

Any others? Because far as I can tell over 10 years, there's no such thing as "home field" when it comes to American events. There is such a thing as home field for Korean and European events, but not for American events.

SoO maybe, but I don't see Zoun or Ryung making it into top 24 playoffs.

Cheering for Astrea, Showtime, Scarlett and Solar!

What I see Maru and herO do to win just looks insanely impressive , in terms of the control and multitasking and decision making in high pace situations.

I can't put Serral next to them in skill when it comes to the abilities I mentioned above, however he is still an extremely mechanically gifted player and is a methodical genius in how he approaches the game.
And this is the reason he is not the GOAT for me, I feel like zerg has had it and still has it a bit to comfortable and is a bit to forgiving compared to Terran and Protoss.

Remember the days when other writers were included in the power ranking? I remember, because I ran the PRs back then.

Another trophy to add to Goat Serral’s collection

He should easily clean this field, since his nemesis reynor isn’t attending

I actually feel like zoun has the best chance of the 3 to get to the knockout stages, but we'll see!

I'm cheering for protoss generally, but especially creator, showtime, astrea and hero

It's ok, WaxAngel mentioned Scarlett in passing in the 3rd paragraph. Plus WaxAngel is the author of "Trivial Rank: Top 5 Scarlett Hairstyles" https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/520247-the-top-5-scarlett-hairstyles so he gets a pass

He just got second in GSL and he's already finished higher in this event than Byun and Gumiho even if he loses now...

Well Maru lost 2-3 so the order remains right between the zerg and terran at least
