Snow is better than tempest, but he is not all around solid. I believe he's, say, a better specialty player than a loadbearing player who can be played more flexibly like Stats or Leta. The problem is is that Hite Entus has an abundance of snipers and that takes away from Snow's PvT specialization. He is absolutely capable of beating a zerg sometimes. But he's not proven to be even mildly consistent or good at it. I mean, no more than anyone else who beats soo and s2. edit: also you derided ForGG. I don't get that. ForGG is well proven in his TvZ and TvT. His TvP is shaky but I wouldn't even begin to call it as shaky as Snow's PvZ. Snow will most likely develop into a better player given time, but for this season it's silly to say he's more of an asset than ForGG to a team. Also, no one is saying Snow is worse than Hoejja or tempest. I wrote a whole lot of words and I didn't go into a diatribe on your favorite players individually because I was doing my best to be nominally unbiased. Snow is a greater player than KT's bottom 2. He's probably the #2 all around player on his team, but that is honestly not saying much because Hitentus is basically what CJ was if you replace Effort with Leta and add MOAR SNIPAHS. KT is deep in the sense that, if you ranked their players 1 2 3 4 5 6 with every other team's 1 2 3 4 5 6 they'd probably come out on top or fairly even to everyone but STX, and maybe Woongjin and SKT. Dude what are you talking about. Snow's PvZ is at least two classes better than forgg's TvP. Snow rarely looked bad in his losses, forgg looks horrible in the majority of his TvP. You must have missed Snow being the only solid player apart from Effort in CJ. Without Snow we wouldnt even have been in post-season. So yes, Snow is contributing more than forgg. Just cause he can sometimes play decent vs Kal doesnt mean he is any good in this matchup. Snow is at least as good as Violet and only worse than Flash and Stats. forgg's time is long over. And of course KT fares better than all other teams since their 1>>>>>> all others. | ||

I am in no way slighting Snow's PvZ, but you're considering too small a sample size even if you can quantify how much Snow is better than ForGG comparing the different matchups. In other news, ForGG is extremely reliable in TvT and TvZ, the latter matchup in which he can be considered to be S class.

So what's your point? | ||

ForGG is just as capable if not moreso in TvP than Snow is in PvZ. Period. I'm not saying ForGG is a necessarily better player than Snow, but he is the same kind of player. Snow can snipe Flash? ForGG can snipe Jaedong. Snow's got okay PvP but gets manhandled by Bisu? Well ForGG has alright TvT but got manhandled by Flash. Snow kind of sucks at PvZ but can scrape wins against shit players and sometimes beat alright ZvPers like Kwanro and Hero? Well ForGG kind of sucks against protoss but can sometimes beat amazing players like Free and Kal. ForGG has a slight edge and I think that's more due to experience than skill. Maybe stealing flash's build orders, too. Actually I'd rate Snow's PvZ higher than his PvP. Especially based on the quality of his games. Kinda shows that you didnt watch Snow's games. | ||

I watched the games live and I still remember the comment I made. Snow seems mechanically sound, his macro is good and his unit composition is fine, but the kid has absolutely horrible decision making in PvZ and that makes him unbelievably vulnerable to anything that isn't precisely within his game image. | ||

Soo played a pretty mediocre game against Snow, but I'd honestly say Snow is better simply because he's a dream league bonjwa and Tempest has yet to prove himself against zergs of a decent level. Although Snow hasn't shown himself to be any good at PvP yet. | ||

He also harassed in the game against the SKTzergs but I mean, that was my point, it was the exact same quality of gameplay that tempest showed. Snow's PvZ is sixth player level when he's his team's #2. :> Snow's PvZ is sixth player level? lol Watch all of Snow's games and come back here and say his PvP (which is not sixth player level) is better than his PvZ. | ||
