His Liquidpedia quote made me giggle. "My favorite match up is Protoss vs Zerg. I don't mean that I win PvZ all the time, but I mean that I like to play it. What I like to do against a 3 hatch hydra user is a simple zealot rush with fast gas, then stop making zealots after 5, tech quickly to Templars and possibly expand even before my templar archives is done. Then I get psi storm/archons and zealot speed. I really like to get fast templar and fast expansion, and it's the best way. It works best at 12:00 on lost temple." :-D | ||

There was a time of about a year, a bit more, where every time you heard of a cash prize tournament and Grrr entered, you would bet even money that he'd win it. There isn't a player right now who dominates the way Grrr did in his prime, and hasn't been for some time. Of course, there was less competition then, no pro-gaming scene to speak of like we have now. You could say that Grrr dominating Broodwar in those days is the same as someone dominating some other game like DoW today. This about sums it up. He was THE guy back then, more dominant than any player is now. There just wasn't enough for him to win to leave an easy trophy trail for us to use to compare him with it. In terms of absolute skill, I have no idea where say year 2000 Grrr would stand on ICCUP if teleported to our time now. I'd guess B-. | ||

 Testie among top foreigners of all-time.For Grrrr...'s era, the only players who were even close to him during his prime in the entire world were anywhere close to his level were H.O.T.-Forever, GARIMTO and  BoxeR.He was the player to beat for about a year, so compare him to modern players such as Flash,  Jaedong, Bisu, sAviOr, and iloveoov when these players were winning everything. | ||
