In any case, it seems that everyone's forgotten how good leta actualy is. He might not be doing as well as he has been doing lately, but there was a time when Leta was dominating everyone. Remember when he saved Terran in the race wars? Remember when his 2port wraith dominated every zerg not named Jaedong? Remember how he made it to #1 on the power rank? He's the one who made 2port wraith look easy AND kept up in his other matchups. | ||

2) Macro vs micro ... which is the best? ... I personally don't care, pick your preference. 3) Ultimately it's the results that matter (imo and I'm sure coaches ultimately care about the results the most). If you are good but constantly lose in close games to good players ... well the result is still the same, you LOST. 4) Being a solid macro player (Really) may give you the better results on average but I think being a less solid macro player who cheeses (Leta) will probably give you a greater variation in the quality of opponent you can beat (and lose to) but worse results on average. | ||

Does it also have something to do with the whole cheating thing too? and, if i'm following what you're saying correctly, wouldn't Really benefit from practicing against someone like Leta because he would learn to defend against all kind of weird builds? | ||

 Really, and they are using their personal experience to support their claim that if Leta goes up against Really, the later is surely going to win more games over a spend of 20 games let's say. However the rest of us does not see that evidence, we have no personal experience to watch him first hand. The closest we can come to what idra and artosis experienced is to watch Really's live matches on youtube, then again we still can not make an informed assessment on his play because we just do not process the knowledge to distinguish the difference in mechanics between Leta and Really. Therefore, the only logical argument the rest of us can make without the experience of idra and artosis is from their record on TLPD. Which suggest to us Leta is the better player. Like testie said, Leta's records are better, and against better competition, that is fact. What do we do when we have credible evidence on both sides of an argument? We find a way to come up with a theory that incorporates both side of the argument and create a scenario that the evidences are no longer opposing each other  (Famous example is quantum mechanic and Eistine's relativity) That being said, i like to go along with testie's theory in which leta is better in the past, but really has improved to a point where everybody thinks he's the next big thing, but still hasn't achieve his rightful places on the OSL and MSL. Which satisfies both evidences of being top 5 terran right now, and yet inferior to leta on the TLPD. | ||

I don't see the argument. PuMa should've gone to Woongjin though. He'd play immediately. | ||

at least we get to see terran other than leta and go.go play on hite now, i hated go.go so much. Leta plays smart, but without solid mechanical skills, he's still never gonna be up there with other s-class players... so when do we get to see puma play for the first time in proleague? is he in the official A-Team roster yet? | ||

data is nice and all, if they record meaningful data. but they don't. a W and a L don't tell the true story, and high APM, flashy though it may be to think about, isn't a dead giveaway for a win (flash v hero anyone?). seeing the 1st person view tells more about a player than his overall stats. during the recent msl prelim, I watched stats beat nada 2-1 and if.classic 2-0, but his games vs classic were way longer and tougher, and he said so in the interviews. so looking at pure data clearly tells you nothing except who advanced, and although a 1-2 loss looks better than the 0-2 loss, it turns out to be a lie in this case. | ||
