EPTToday I have a piece I was super excited to make, an interview with Reynor. We got to discuss the GOAT debate, his start in StarCraft, his desire to return to compete in Korea, and much more!
Hope you all enjoyed this one =D

But let's not get ahead of ourselves shall we, I think having a goal of "advancing out of my first group" should be step 1 right? | ||

His best bet is to wait a few years until the group stage has been cut entirely. | ||

If we were talking about temp0 and one suggested that changing the first place prize of gsl to a bucket of fried chicken and a side of watermelon would be the catalyst we need to see our first african american champion do you think this would be in good taste? | ||

I wouldnt mind if he made the joke he suggested, but then I can understand if the poster is intent on making a joke or playing on something else. Im not an american either so maybe im not inclined to read in racial bias or what you would say in everything. | ||

I'm definitely no reynor fan boy. Serral has been the best player in the world for a very long time now. And maru is maru. And it's gsl. The koreans just have tons of experience (and skill; let's not forget that). But reynor on fire, reynor on point is the scariest thing in sc2 i've witnessed so far. | ||

But reynor on fire, reynor on point is the scariest thing in sc2 i've witnessed so far. I think Reynor can carve his name in stone by being the first foreigner to win a GSL. I am sad that Serral doesn't really care to win one. GSL is by far the hardest "regional" tournament. | ||

Definitely, also I’ve been around long enough for people to know that I’m just having fun. It doesn’t hurt that I’m Italian either and have heard this same joke my whole life. | ||

At some point it’s gonna be easier and easier I said this when he decided to give it a shot that it was the easiest the tournament has ever been. We saw how that turned out. Easy for the GSL is still not easy. | ||
