Now he can start experimenting, talk to coaches and devise his own little twists on things. Greg is still very young and has lots of room to improve - we will have to wait and see how much. Either way, congrats to him for a great year. | ||

Maybe his play is not as 'flashy' as other progamers (or even foreigners if that). But I believe all these years he's been learning to master the Korean standard play, which is pretty much the foundation of everything else. You need a solid ground to experiment new strategies. I think that's the right way of doing it. One who has sexy marine or muta micro but fails at everything else doesn't go as far as competitive Starcraft is concerned. | ||

Either way, congrats to him for a great year. Here's the thing though. He's on the B team of a proteam. B teams do not do innovative things, they do not practice funny strategies, he has to play the same build, day after day, to get it down pat. It's not that he's not innovative, it's that CJ prevents him from even practicing these things. | ||

Actually, if there's one person I could think of that will always play standard in the foreign scene, it's Idra. He's good at it and pretty much makes fun of anyone who doesn't do the same on a given map. EDIT: Mind you, maybe it's all part of his plan to triple bunker rush ret in the TSL finals. | ||

Ret is awsome but I think he's too new to be put as the greatest of all time. Idra may be good gamewise but he will never be great player in my eyes. "Best of all time" might be someone else though..  | ||

idra is definitely not more accomplished. and it is this way with all sports, atheletes get stronger, more fit with time because of nutrition, workout techniques, equipments, etc. | ||
