jesus guys, give him more time. He gets far in one major tournament and you guys want him in Korea already? Not to mention he played Idra, the worst progamer in Korea. We know his ZvT is at least that good but let him work on his other matchup first. Don't forget he's also 14. If he goes now and fail in Korea, his future won't be too bright.

yeh he is good but i dont know if hes good in all 3 matchups. he won vs idra and many good z but lost against mana and draco. I dont say that mana and draco are bad players but u can see that his main problem is his zvp.
got me? guess not

Kolll defeated the greatest foreign player the world has ever witnessed in his best matchup at the pinnacle of E-Sports competition, 2-0.

He got OWNED by a kid...cmon. This kid has not received one second of Korean training and he beat him. Major props to him. I'm now a fan.

time for Flash Bogus and Baby to shit their pants Kolll will eat worlds if he goes to korea


I don't want to imagine what Bogus and Flash would do to kolll.. Seriously Flash is fucking insane. He is demolishing Korean progamers left and right (not right now, but not too far in the past, he's still amazing though). What do you think he'd do to kolll? Not to mention he already won a starleague etc..

Kolll has great potential. I referred to Flash Bogus and baby cause they are considered the wunderkinds of starcraft. Kolll has no chance at this point but who know if this kid gets a proper korean training...


I really said it lots of times now, but too make sure no one misunderstands: I do like kolll, he has shown great and impressive things YET
It has nothing to do with talent. Back in the days, you started on battle.net with less good practice partners. Today you can start on iccup and bam, you will only face better players when you start and your skill will boost insanely fast.

He played at least 8000 Games in his 2 years, if not more and started at a high level of gaming (compared to battle.net). Thats why he's already that good. Ofcourse you still need a bit of talent, but if you think his potential is so great, it makes no sense that he's still stuck with A-/ low A maybe. I know that the skill difference is insane from holding an A- rank and holding an A rank, but still, that would define the word talent for me.



This is like the worst argument in the world. If things are so damn easy now, why aren't there more players like kolll. Oh wait, because hes a prodigy.


Or...because like it was mentioned he has played a SHIT TON of games in a short time frame, whereas other players don't put in half as much effort.


8000 games in 2 years is nothing; I've played well over 3000 since I started in June. 4 hours a day is also only slightly more than what I put in during the summer. I'm D- right now, he bested Idra. Clearly there's some talent going on


that means you have played 20+ games every single day without any breaks in the day since June. Are you sure you're not just throwing out a random number? 171 days and you said you have played "well over 3000". So being humble lets put it at 3500. That would be 21 games per day without any days off.

with games averaging 15minutes (closer to 18) thats 4 per hour, which would make an average of 5 hours per day, even though you say you don't even play 4hours.

Lastly I looked up the Id "wok" on iccup, and if thats you, it only has 282 games since september 1st. That was 79 days ago, which averages out to only 3 games a day, far off from the 20+ required to have over 3000 since June. Things just don't add up.

Stork is obviously not better than Jaedong in any way. He's a great great player by all means. But seriously, Jaedong is the best player of all time. He is the one who has achieved the highest skill and has been able to maintain it.

Exaggerate much? Idra the greatest foreigner? Nope. WCG 2009 the pinnacle of E-sports competition? Nope.

Idra is the best foreigner right now and Kolll deserves credit but come on.
It felt like gravity.

Geez, so much envy and discrediting going on for Koll... He's 14yrs old and beat the best foreigner in his best mu. When I was 14 (I'm a korean living in korea) I could barely beat comps. Also, it's amazing that he became what he is in a matter of 2 years. I've started playing SC seriously 8 months ago, and still cannot get above c-... I've played at least 1000 games in 8 months (yes, less than Koll annual 4000 games, but still). This kid's got talent, and even korean netizens at Fomos.kr praised him, saying some team should bring him and "raise" him to be the next big foreigner SC player... (something rare for foreigners, since Fomos loves to trash IdrA...as for ret, I have yet to see an article on him)

I don't remember enough to recall the use of pure dragoons, but the scouts were all Bisu.
