The evidence which can support this statement is that he never amounted to anything in sc2, cuz he had no OOV to handfeed him builds and he got no handicaps via lack of good players or players with injuries in his matches HAHAHAHA! The best compilation of butthurt and poor excuses I've ever read. | ||

But it's true that Midas was probably the best player of his time, along with Savior, for a moment. I don't think one can say that about Iris. They're pretty much tied for 1st place to me. I think TheMarine could get the 5th spot instead of Sea, as much as i like Sea, just like Leta he couldn't transfer his PL powers to individual league. TheMarine was the serious deal back then. Also, he was good at tvp. People underlook Light too much. He was a great player, actually capable of fighting with the best of the pack on regular basis. It's funny that invisible terran was actually considered good at tvp at first... I remember liquibetting on him against Bisu when the met during the infamous Gom MSL. I thought it was his time to shine, he had a good opportunity, going against a young teammate not so good at pvt... haha, i'm not so good at predicting BW  | ||

That's why the position of coach on the team exists. Every team has/had them and all of them feed builds down to their players. Very few people could take oovs builds and make them work like Fantasy did. The SKT terrans all used them but Fantasy was the one who made them shine. | ||

Fantasy overtook Flash during the last 4 months or so of BW but Flash was still the undisputed second best player unless you include Bisu's 'success' in Hybrid proleague (probably should've focused a bit harder on the sc2). Flash was 73% for 2012 (legit pro BW ended with the SKT vs KT final). A Bo1 loss to Bisu on a broken map doesn't change anything. | ||

And even if its successful its easier to recover from it(larva mechanic) or one lost too many units during the drop and hence outright die to a quick counter a-move deathball. without being able to bank on his best strength to make up for his lack of macro, fantasy is about as good as a typical Korean terran in sc2. (Hence I predict fantasy won't amount to anything in sc2, pls start streaming BW on afreeca kthxbai) | ||
