He doesn't below here, but Skyhigh is awesome. S-Class TvT (Flash level), and sucky everything else (minus that reverse AK vs Hwaesung).

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.

It's hard to tell between Midas and Iris really. As i saw the thread, i first thought about Iris, because he came really close. Like really really close. He also did a final in Gom TV. Midas on the other side never played a single final.

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

You realise Flash was given builds too right? 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.

Not only that. His dependence of Ovv was overblown out of proportions. Ovv actually invented so-called fantasy build mainly to help Fantasy to play against Zergs. Also bunker rush build used aganst JD was invented by Boxer, not Oov. Fantasy himself experimented with various valkonic builds and is one of the crucial innovators in late TvZ mech switch. Not only that, he started to use SV in TvT before anyone else.

So much about "being predictable"

Just no. 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.

Imo Fantasy was not excellent in sc2 because his strongest trait from BW(harassment) doesn't count for much in sc2, where its super easy for other races to deflect drops (muh queen, muh transfuse, muh mamaship, muh nexus cannon etc.) as long as they are have a hint its coming.

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)

But the guy himself still thinks otherwise (based on what he said on his stream). He needs to wake up and return his true roots

did Daezang invent Forge FE, or Forge FE -> sair/dt? (I can never tell what anyone means by the "Bisu Build" after all that Combat-Ex nonsense )

Forge FE is old old old, I think Nal-Ra was the first one to really develop and use it but that was before I started watching BW, but as kona's link shows Daezang was the first one to use FFE-> sair/DT in a professional game.

The Forge FE was used on Guillotine by Ra, way back.

I hope you start with the protosses GTR, I'm very interested in your list. Zergs, we know who will be 1st and who will be 2nd pretty much.

By that logic Garimto was S class in 2007, even though he couldnt win a game to save his life. Because five years before that he was S class.
