Luxury at one point actually had arguably the best ZvP of anyone. That didn't last long. Even though ZvZ has historically been his specialty, he's never been the top ZvZer. Granted, that's tough to do with Jaedong around town.

Wasn't he 2nd best ZvZ back when people were calling Jaedong's ZvZ "JvZ"? 2nd best ZvZ might as well be considered the best ZvZ, since JvZ was considered a different matchup

That would not have been necessary; Luxury was "the best ZvP player on earth."

I always wondered whether or not that was a joke, considering he based all of that on a single series.

It's easy to tell them apart, when they play they have totally different facial expression, one is more serious the other is just normal.

Um, no. Jaedong earned "JvZ" by being better. I see no reason to discount the greatness of the top players. The fact is that Luxury's ZvZ was never good enough to make Jaedong's ZvZ look beatable, something that other players (notably Calm) later managed. However, Lux DID briefly appear to have a sharper ZvP than Jaedong, who has pretty much held the #1 ZvPer title since.

Har thats an interesting way to look at it.
But yeah I think its pretty safe to say he was 2nd best ZvZer but I have absolutely no idea where this "Best ZvP" comes from...especially since Jangbi's PvZ kinda sucked. FakeSteve must've been smoking some serious shit.

how can they ask for a "third twin"?

Their mother also just happens to be a hardcore genetic scientists with a sub-specialty in speeding up human growth, kind of like Boba Fett in StarWars.

from the power rank that someone posted where lux was #2,

signs of the scandal even back then!

"His series against Leta seemed to be a Zerg trying as hard as he can to lose, but then staging a disgusting comeback out of NOWHERE in the three games he wo..."

Especially when you watch his most recent games after that MSL final after he beat Jangbi.

http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/games/28933_Luxury_vs_Stork

And before the MSL finals, you had silly games like him hydra busting Best on Medusa while Best decides that scouting with probes isn't necessary or needed at all.

Or his loss to NBS. -_- He is zerg and gets ....flanked by protoss? Clear sign of best zvp.
