If he's not at the top of his game then he is pretty damn close. The idea I was trying to get across was he is still playing at a damn high level and retiring unlike say NaDa who is moving to sc2 and hasn't hit a starleague final since 2006 shinhan 3. oh wait shinhan 3 ended in early 2007 | ||

He isn't Flash or Jaedong, but Effort was still doing pretty damn good and though it is debatable I think he could be considered at the top of his game which is what the original poster to this quote train said. I definitely don't think he's on top of his game and I think he knows it - he's playing nowhere near the level he was in 08-09 Proleague where he just destroyed everyone. Beating Flash is a huge thing but let's be honest here everything besides his record against Flash is just good and not fantastic. For most of the year he's been slumping or just playing in such a uninspiring way, in fact the only time he's played extremely impressively is against Flash and no one else. I seriously think its a dead end for him and he's very unlikely to reach a finals series again. Flash is pretty smart and he learns from his mistakes extremely quickly, he can't really compete against Jaedong in ZvZ, and he even drops games against decent PvZ players and struggles greatly against good TvZ players (his ZvT was beastly a year ago if you can't remember). If what he says is true (salary problems), then its fairly clear why he left Brood War as he hasn't really got a future in it and he's still young enough to pursue something more useful like school. We can agree to disagree then I guess. | ||

Do any of you noobs read? you're not the first to try and point it out... look what happened to the last guy who did. This thread went up before the translation was ready, as is evident from the comments the first 2 pages. | ||
