No matter what we say, the koreans and most of the progamers value the OSL more highly than the MSL.

Exactly this (to all the people who have commented saying that I'm belittling Bisu)

I honestly rate Storks achievements higher than bisu's because the osl is more important

You rate 1 OSL higher than 3 MSL? Are you nuts?

Edit : Also Ver`s post are pretty much the same as my feelings on the subject.
So say Savior had never won his OSL, would you have considered GGplay to be the more achieved player?

Well, Stork also has roughly 10 silvers, which need to be weighed in as well.

Actually he only have 3 silvers from things that counts (Starleagues) his 3 other silvers are from WCG and special events. 4 Starleague finals and 1 gold 3 silvers vs 4 golds (3 if you don`t consider GOM a real starleague) and 1 silver (2 if you consider the special match vs Jaedong). You tell me whats the best achievement...

Bisu's recent performance makes his more successful than Stork, but koreans will consider Stork being more successful in the Starleagues seeing how calling the MSL a starleague is a misnomer.

I dont really agree with Stork's accomplishments being more impressive than Bisu's (though I definitely think Storks are under-rated), but there is no doubt in what Plexa said about OSL vs MSL (in that OSL is more prestigous, however with the difficulty of winning a league in general being what it is, I have to disagree that an OSL is worth more than 2 MSL, simply that 1 OSL is a bigger acheivement than 1 MSL)

and JD's golds vs Bisu.

2 OSL, 1 MSL, 1 GOM, 1 WCG Korea, 1 GOM Special Match (against Bisu himself!)
vs
3 MSL, 1 GOM

is not a contest, especially when you consider JD has had much harder finals opponents (Flash, Fantasy, etc.) and rarely even got to use his best matchup (ZvZ) in an individual league, while Bisu's best MU, PvP, accounts for 3 out of 4 of his golds.

Meh, obviously JD has bigger achievements than Bisu, I wont even start arguing about that. With that being said a title is a title,no matter how it was won, and saying that KTY won 3/4 because of his PvP is wrong. Not to mention that statistically he was in big disadvantage against Stork in the GOM MSL S2, in the post match interview he said that even the coaches thought he had no chance to win the final... In the recent OSL, Jaedong literally ZvZed his way to the final with some ZvP exceptions on ToTM, so really, its pointless to compare one title run with another.

I dont know about the community but I will never think of JD as the best zerg ever. I felt offended in some way actually, when his fanbase started to build up. Most of his fans have not really followed his progress ever since he become a progamer and just joined the bandwagon when it became obvious that he is actually very good (that point of time was his royal road in the OSL). The hole process and this "OMG JD!" thing actually stole the spotlight from the real king of all zerg, the one and only maestro. I believe that many zerg fans were just disappointed with savior's slump and quickly recognized Jaedong as their new hope. And that makes me sad. For me JD is just another step in the evolution of the zerg players, he is just a bit better in every component of the game than the previous great champions of the swarm. But even so in my eyes he lacks the personality of the Maestro and especially of our beloved Tushin. All in all I respect deeply JD as a player and I dont think someone could take away from him all his great achievements. But savior and july are much more iconic for me...

With all this being said, I think the majority of the OZ supporters are just Jaedong fans which will eventually follow him if he gets traded. Which is sad as well

I am still an Oz fan without JD.

Btw, that also applies to Bisu and SKT fans.

I dont think so, SKT had the largest fanbase even before Bisu joined the squad, you cant really compare the heritage of both teams, but you are right, many fans followed bisu to t1, but even without him SKT will remain the most famous pro team in the scene
