This.
Flash is obvious. Sea is obvious. Really has been vouched for by Artosis and others who are actually involved in the Korean scene. Leta? Come on. This guy has only ever played one televised Bo5, which he lost to a supposedly worse player at the time. I thought people valued set performance, and not just flashy Bo1 games?

While I don't think Leta should be on the list, your argument is ridiculously terrible.
You mention "set performance" and then defend Sea (who has never even made an RO8, and thus has never even played in a meaningful BO5) and Really (who has NEVER EVEN MADE A LEAGUE)??

Fakesteve, I want you to write an awesome rant about each one of those, except Sea because we've got plenty of those already because Sea is awesome etc etc.

1) Er...the fact that Sea has played more televised sets means that, regardless of whether he won them or lost them, he's more likely to have the know-how to handle one. Leta's played one ever, and he demonstrated his completely ignorance of the dynamics of it during that Bo5.
2) As I said, the saving grace for Really is that he's vouched for by those who are far more in touch with the Korean scene than I am, while I have heard no such appraisal of Leta.

Taking the bo5 to a fifth game against a strong BoX player and the eventual MSL champion is a bad performance?
Besides which, he took a bo3 off of Flash in that tournament, with his cheese in the third set catching Flash totally off-guard. If that doesn't show and understanding of how to play a BoX, I give up.
