Pretty much everything is comparable given the right set of variables and adjustments to account for time differences. But that's exactly the problem - you don't know the "right" way to account for the differences. You can talk about it sure. "JD would crush Grrr, but Grrr seems to have come up with all kinds of original play before anyone else without reps etc.." - this can be fun, but I don't see a way to draw any valid conclusions from that type of comparison. | ||

Testie may very well be the most well-rounded foreigner of all time. If you had to pick one foreigner who was great at everything---1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, ffa, bgh, fastest, ums etc etc I don't see how you could pick anyone else. He hacked against me in cloud ladder though so if you disagree that's fine. | ||

The talent pool was growing but still somewhat small. Now take all of the programmers or aspiring programmers. It's ridiculously huge. An average korean amateur could give Idra a run for his money. Star has evolved so much that it is almost an entirely different game from the one that Giyom played. uh? i don't understand your argument. what about the handicap that giyom has to idra who has the advantages that the new era in sc has brought with it? each era has its own set of standards, and you're not understanding that. it's like saying a random physics professor today who since understanding the theory of newton and being equipped with the advantages of the time should be judged at a lower standard simply because science has advanced so much, therefore he is greater because he is disadvantaged by the fact that there's so much more to science now then before. that's not how it works | ||
