LOL BLACKMAN OVER MIDIAN!? stop trolling please. F91 is a solid addition to the discussion but im not fond of his style

Yes, I also find getting third place at WCG behind boxer and yellow, and KOing oddysay in the process, to be laughable. You aren't interested in a real discussion, so we'll leave it there.

Midian ranks 2nd all time among foreigner Zergs in my eyes right behind mondi(and not by much)

What do you base that on? I have nothing against the guy but you are overrating him highly. There at least 10 people who would go above him on any fair non-Korean zerg ranking.



He smoked progamers like Jangbi and Dove in straight up macro games while practicing like 1/4th as much as they did. Definitely one of the best, if not the best, western zergs. His play was just super solid and mechanical, kind of a Savior jr. He was also a super cool dude and was a regular poster on the strategy forum for a while. But alas, poker, WoW, and some chubby Korean lady stole him away from teamliquid.

I'm not sure why you threw in all the stuff about him as a person, but none of it has any bearing on the topic at hand.

There is no objective way to do a ranking like this, but as someone who has seen every good non-Korean zerg play since about 2001, I definitely wouldn't put him second or anywhere in the top 5. In my opinion, achievements must be factored in, and other than WCG UK I can't remember him winning anything worth mentioning. Aside from mondi, ret and sen, guys like testie (all his races rank in the top 10 among non-Koreans), blackman, tomson and f91 should be considered. Everyone can agree that midian was an extremely good player, but second greatest non-Korean zerg ever is a little much.


I agree. Everyone just romanticizes oldschool players. With Swedish bias, I would put HayprO above MidiaN as well. I never remembered MidiaN winning anything either. He was insanely good, but second best non-Korean zerg is just really weird when SEn, Testie, Pj and F91 were arguably the best non-Korean player at one point in time regardless of race. I don't think anyone ever argued that was the case for MidiaN.

Well... F91 was almost definitely better, but the others I'd have to disagree, just judging from the way he played in games vs Yubi, Jangbi, and In_Dove.

Susie doesn't date.

She allows men to spend time with her and bask in her light. Once upon a time I spent time with Susie in person.

I haven't been able to appreciate anything since then.

It's funny because I felt the same way about Jamie the first time I saw a simple picture of his boyish face.
