    I love the post tournament voice overs. Getting your thoughts and insights for both the games and just in general is a lot of fun. The fact that you're out there retired and meming and can still show up and make pro players sweat is amazing.

    Amazing video Marc, I really enjoyed it. Top 16 is a really good placing and I think your final defeat was mostly just a problem with learning a new map. The kind of stuff that comes easier to someone on that competitive grind, which you're not doing.

      And now we have a new map pool.
      This stuff adds up - the longer you can train less than you normally would do (especially if there are some changes to maps / balance) the more noticable it will be.
      Has Serral chances to win? Of course! He probably is still the favorite.
      But without his military service, his chances would be even better.

    1:17:15 Extremely premature quit. Being behind before 4 minutes is absolutely something that can be turned around. Just as one can make a mistake, so can the opponent later on.
    Besides, the most challenging and exciting games are the rare ones where the player surpasses his own expectations. But a player who gives up easily will hardly ever give himself the opportunities to surpass and play the most exciting matches one can play.

    No, not literally. This is not the biggest tournament man, inflation matters a lot, especially recently. Im really surprised that people are still fooling themselves at nominal values. It's maybe third or fourth biggest tournament, not biggest. If we had tournament 100 000 $ and then we had inflation 500% 1 year then we need 600 001 $ tournament to tell "this is the biggest tournament". Guys, please.
    But yeah, it's pretty big anyways. But don't confuse yourself and others. In reality inflation was much higher than official data, there is a new methodology. In reality after 10 years 1 dollar then is like 2,5-3 dollar now. Just look at the prices then and now. So it's far from biggest prize, just remember about it. You can forgot about inflation during low inflation years, but not when inflation was high.
