I traveled around the globe (form Europe to North America, Southeast Asia and Australia) for sport competitions in the past and never realy felt any impact on my performance because of jetlag. 3 nights at a hotel costs more than a $100. Plus flights costs are different everyday at different times. And just because you felt a certain way doesn't mean everyone is like you. There really is a good chance that jetlag affects Maru worse than others. | ||

The book 'Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes' written by someone who's consulted NBA players costs £12.85. Too expensive maybe ? I'll commit to personally gift it to verified pros who DM me. | ||

And it always was 3-2 as far as I remember, with him leading 2-1 or even 2-0 at one point of every series. A bit more luck/concentration and he probably could be 3x world champ - but history doesn't know if`s and but`s. It is what it is. | ||

He might be more sensitive to international travel but that’s not the main issue that plagued his runs It's a big nothingburger. Surely after 10yrs in the game, if I'd dramatically underperformed my teammate (cough Rogue cough) in the world championship department, I'd maybe amortize half the time difference by shifting my sleep schedule weeks before. That makes it a remaining... wow... 4 hours change ! | ||

The NBA only plays in NA, he never had to deal with jetlag. (e: this actually isn't true, you can still be jetlagged going coast to coast, albeit not as severe as NA to EU or Asia) Players typically arrive a few days early or for bigger tournaments, a week+ early, just to get used to the time difference which will have a drastic effect on performance. In some esports, they will bootcamp in the region of the tournament to fully adapt their circadian rhythm as to not have jetlag as an excuse. I imagine they adequately prepared for this, but who knows. Either way, jetlag is a very real, very challenging detriment. | ||

I do not see Serral #1 and Reynor #2. If they play the finals (very possible) then Reynor would win. | ||

If anyone has actually traveled long distance, they would know that jetlag is no joke at all. I'm willing to bet that Maru is very prone to the negative side effects of jetlag and thats why he is the way he is in non-Asian tournaments. On Korean soil, Maru dominates every single non-Korean You seem to forgot Serral destroyed Maru and the whole Korean crew on Korean soil while playing jet lag Ms won 2 GSL Conquer and left | ||

Just the usual Korean fanboys excuses when losing to foreigners since the beginning of SC Jet lag, didn’t try, hiding and saving builds for GSL, etc if anything it makes them sound quite pathetic constantly using those excuses Funny when the Korean pro players has acknowledged Serral as the best player since 2018. Dunno why the fans has yet to accept that | ||

Not an excuse. I fully acknowledge that Serral has been the best player for a while now. While I don't believe he's been the continuous best since 2018 I do think that from 2018 forward he's spent the most time as the best player. Skill is completely independent from achievement though. Additionally the game didn't start in 2018. Serral may have the highest skill level but his lifetime SC2 accomplishment is really not that close to players like Rogue, Maru, and even Innovation. | ||

Regardless if GSL vs world is “lower tier” than code S, serral dominated all the best code S players in those tournaments. What’s the difference where he beat them? NO EXCUSES! | ||
