On a side note, kudos to Maynarde 💪🏻 for standing up to the occasion despite technical difficulties and losing his co caster on the final game of the final series, not an easy or comfortable situation to be in
Yeah, I was gonna post this if nobody else did. Dude turned into a literal machine for 5 mins straight when he had to solo. Thought his head might explode.
@@danieloyarzun000 Every race has its strengths and weaknesses. But here, it was just a case of strategy. Zest kept hesitating to attack, and Reynor read that like a book, allowing him to strategize how he would approach the fight. Also, Zest made several crucial errors like investing too much into Gateway units and not building Immortals quick enough. Finally, non-Korean players are like the antithesis of the meta. Seriously, name one other person that can use Contaminate and Transfusion to win a big tournament like IEM. Name one other person who can push Queen/Lurker and win. Reynor outsmarted Zest the whole way through, and that's why he won, not because Zerg is IMBA.
Amazing tournament and performance by Reynor. Shame about pigs technical difficulties. Hope he doesn’t beat himself up too much. I would freak out when my connection sucked for remote learning let alone a grand final.
agreed. sometimes you can say "well they had an easy bracket" or some garbage like that during tournaments, but he beat all the big names (except Serral, I would love to have seen him battle Serral...)
@@666pitmaster We've seen plenty of Serral vs Reynor before, and while it can go either way, I don't think anyone can seriously say that Reynor isn't good enough to beat Serral.
if anything, this video shows how important the commentators are in this E-Sports events... me personally would be reallly clue-less about the thought process and decition-making in this matches. You both did a great job.
Love it, a player who gears up and backs his army in a punch for punch fight and takes out games quick, love that style especially with Zerg which I normally despise.
Just watched Reynor's push through the ro12, quarters, semis, and grand final again... absolutely inspiring and amazing. Reynor absolutely SLAYED this tournament.
Pig is soo cool and I realy enjoy to listen to him, I can understand very well what he says and that's realy cool for a non first or second language learning for english
Pig and Maynarde were great here. Probably one of Raynor's best tournaments, I honestly thought the Maru game would have drained him but he has energy for days.
The third game clearly shows why you should do a regular insight into the enemy base and that buildings alone will not provide you with defense against the enemy army. You create buildings, army, upgrades and security at the same time, or you die trying to leave any of these things for later.
@@crossbowcarrol4408 haha tbh I dont know, I wonder if it would be beneficial or if it would hinder you. If it is an advantage its most likely against the rules. Also youve already trained your muscle memory to use a single monitor by switching between control groups so if you were in a situation where you normally used two and you had to play with one like in a tournament, then you would be super at a disadvantage. So i dont think its a thing.
I remember the very first time i played starcraft, it starts with the Terran campaign. the very first time i saw a zerg creep, i was like "WTF IS THAT??!" exactly the same sentiment as Raynor and his marines at that campaign.

Dude is a beast
And he took it away while maintaining the flow of the cast, that is world class.
A top bloke and supreme observer and commentator 👌🏻🙌🏻
korean player was outplayed huh
Seeing how happy the champ gets at the end, and him being at home able to really show emotions was actually really satisfying
Great comment keeping spoilers in mind, good job
@@robbevanooteghem7429 The problem is that only one of the players tends to show emotions. From this comment, I can tell who won lol
All we miss is the trophy celebration
anyone will be happy wining with that imba race, not gonna say wich one is to not spoil, but you know what is the most broken race in SC2

If aliens attack Earth, I'm throwing my support to drafting Reynor to be a real life Ender Wiggin.
I’m thinking it’s a group selection, Stats to build the wall, Reynor to run the army and Inno to head the production lines.
If the Zerg attack Earth, only the Protoss would save us, with the Golden Armada that is.. and probably the Spear of Adun too
Enders game is a corny shit ass movie
Hahahhahab just the problem the world army is not like the space marines
YES THIS
Amazing tournament and performance by Reynor. Shame about pigs technical difficulties. Hope he doesn’t beat himself up too much. I would freak out when my connection sucked for remote learning let alone a grand final.
So unbelievably happy for Reynor
PiG and Maynard are such an amazing casters duo. Great games by Zest and Reynor! Congrats Reynor on that big tournament win! :)
yes, I like them too, especially Pigs, who is not using actually, really and so on often.
SPOILER ALERT!

reynor defeating stats, dark, maru AND zest in one fucking tournament is incredible

Bro your forgot he beat TRAP too, absolutely insane

@Dole Pole huh. Zest threw all the cheese at reynor, but stylistically, zerg should win a lot if both play perfectly
Thats just shows how Broken ZERG still is... what a joke

What an amazing mach. Very intense plays on both sides. God tier players for sure, so much respect! Very good casting too, Thank you ESL
i feel bad for pig but they were both very professional about it.
very entertaining duo indeed!
Yeah they handled it perfectly.
Awesome tourney, thx everyone who was playing. :)
I hate it when you can tell who wins based on how much time is left in the video
congrats reynor too bad he couldn't hoist a trophy
me too, that is something ESL can do better.
@Håvard Rekdal you can upload every game as one video for example.
Just watch life.
I'd prefer extra dead time at the end of videos, not I know that messes with the algo.
PiG: on fire. The internet: Nope.
*Pigshit
"Raynor is picking up what Zest is putting down." Nice one Maynard!
great casters. so professional
Love watching these guys. The first game was beautiful. Zest played a nearly perfect game until he showed his warp in. That was intense.
That’s the good stuff. Was actually routing for Maru but Reynor is on fire. Good show, GG, congrats to him!
Love it, a player who gears up and backs his army in a punch for punch fight and takes out games quick, love that style especially with Zerg which I normally despise.
I love Pigs commentary, sucks he missed part of it.
How does he do.it without cursing?
Just watched Reynor's push through the ro12, quarters, semis, and grand final again... absolutely inspiring and amazing. Reynor absolutely SLAYED this tournament.
I think the announcers pushed through this great! Well done guys as usual. Very fun finals but really its the announcers that hype it.
holy sheat Reynor like a boss! Congrats world champ!
First comment and it spils the whole series for me. Im so dumb
Never over estimate yourself!
Reynor had such a sick run this ESL
Man hes such a great kid, I couldn't of been happier for anyone other then serral. Such personality and spirit.
He's an arrogant little twat. Have you not heard him?
@@Aiphiae It's not arrogance if you can deliver, envious little communist.
Great games. Even better casters! Blizzard do not deserve your professionalism!
This commentary is a lot better then the one in later clips i seen recently
Reynor anche se non avessi vinto saresti rimasto comunque una gioia per tutti noi, sono fiero di te
That was a great tournament. Congrats to Reynor.
Maynarde carrying this cast
@45:36 Best commentary line of the final: "Not enough room in the Prism for everybody!" Lol
too much light
That game 5 is one of the few protoss wins I've seen with Carriers
CAMPIONI DEL MONDO!
Non sento questa sensazione di essere campione dle mondo dal 2006
Porcoddiooo

Alla fine ce l'ha fatta
andiamo a Berliiiinnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
PiG's thoughts on what was happening was so incredible even the audio processor couldn't make it legible
Grande Reynor! sei tutti noi! :D
Awesome set castes by awesome commentators!
Congrats to the winner!
It must of felt so good to have Maynard say that you need a pay raise casting the FINALS game.
must of....lol
it all went wrong from there.
damm... the kid did it. congrats buddy. You deserve it if you can run over maru in the semi finals
Bravissimo Reynor!!!! :-) Il terzo game fantastico!
Wow, is that really? Thank you!!!
Pig is soo cool and I realy enjoy to listen to him, I can understand very well what he says and that's realy cool for a non first or second language learning for english
Extraordinary tournament and matches by Reynor, what a player
Congratulations!
Grande Reynorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Sei veramente in migliore!!! 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
wow that was so wonderful..congrats to the young kid reynor..
What a road for Reynor, love that kid, love his playstyle [lurkers seem a little too strong right now but w/e], extremely well deserved.
Great series.
I love watching this.
Hat's off! That was big.
WOOOW Reynor !!! congratilations!!! Zerg!!! is done.
*congradulashions
Pig and Maynarde were great here.
Probably one of Raynor's best tournaments, I honestly thought the Maru game would have drained him but he has energy for days.
Great games and great casting. Shame pigs internet crapped out but they both Maynard was a champ
This is why you don’t pause in the middle of 1st BIG fight in 1st Game of Finals. Tilted, God Mode on. Game over. 😎
amazing game thanks
always a sad sight to see a protoss lose, amazing showdown though.
Grande ragazzo!!!
The Feed Raynor Foundation gets a good donation from Zest.... 😂🤣
Not certain if results of an online tournament are indicative of who is DA BOSS. But loved the games.
there are pheonixes in this game
Wow the casting was so good, sucks the technical issues happened
good to see a finals thats not a zvz
ORGOGLIO ITALIANO! VAI COSì BELLO MIO
great solo casting. as impressive as the players themselves.
I mean, Blizzard barely deserves being represented by their logo by now....
Yeah, I mean the entire game they're playing isn't even made by Blizzard.
@@Ole_Rasmussen but by who
MihaiH the people who’ve made SC2 have all left Blizzard and the company has given up on the game
@@azsolus7845 Blizzard is Activision now truly
@@azsolus7845 that is really sad

Great match and great casting, just a shame the overall production values aren't quite what they used to be in this tournament as a whole.
well earned Mr Reynor. Epic games
Reynor in every clutch! gj kiddo!
beep boob - best commentary duo, wp Reynor, GG 👌😎
Well deserved Reynor!! Congrats!!
I just can't figure out how they win it looks like the Victory screen just pops up
where's the portable burrowed sensor tower skill on the raven?..111
Zerg always won first position.... I hope this race is really OP....
Noo, zerg weakest
OUR PROUD 🇮🇹
Grande Reynor un bacione
Commentator coming back half naked after the 4th match!
ive been just randomly clicking these for a week now ....is there any non zerg matches lol
Seems like zerg always win. Its annoyimg they need to get nerfed.
Reynor, the Italian stallion, man Stallone is spinning in his grave.
Nj solo casting there at the end.
Maynard and Pig commentating like bosses

two monitors, one micro, other macro

how do they micro at 200ms latency?
i guess they're just so good they can predict what's gonna happen and react in advance
I think Reynor deserved that after what happened with Dark in 2019
What happened
@@azsolus7845 Reynor beat Serral to get to the Blizzcon Finals, only to get smashed by Dark.
Rip InControl. Your jokes are missed
In the first game, just would've used the voids to clear the overload farm a bit. can't make lings xD
I remember the very first time i played starcraft, it starts with the Terran campaign. the very first time i saw a zerg creep, i was like "WTF IS THAT??!" exactly the same sentiment as Raynor and his marines at that campaign.
I remember the first time I saw a tumor making another one I thought I was playing against a cheat. I thought only queens could drop them!
Im still new to competitive starcraft, how does one wins a match?
Destroy all structures I think
I called him becoming World Champion when I first saw him at Nation Wars 5. Super exited to see I had my Smarty Pants on that day : )
Omg what a match
very good games and casting, thankyou IEM.
Is this the biggest event of the year?
campeonato para Europa, sí señor!!!
Rip PiG
great
The kid is the main export product of Italia now. Beating Ferrari and Lamborgini. GZ!
I don't know what happened to Zest in game 3. He has money and can probe up the 3rd for so long. When dt's fail there was no real transition.
Zerg can smell Protoss' fear .
where tf were Tasteless and Artosis? Kept waiting for them to show up towards the end of the tournament
ESL dont ask them to cast the DH events, so they only do GSL.
Why dont protoss use photon cannons anymore?
