Replace Casy with Xellos circa 2003 and I think the picture becomes clearer. He won a very memorable OSL by beating an in-shape Yellow in a Game 5 clifffhanger. He was already dubbed Perfect for having no weak matchups and was a killer of big names like Boxer and Oov. He won, and then dropped off with many group exits or semi final appearances for the rest of his career in both MSL and OSL. However, he DID win that one championship. Would you trade that for consistently placing 2nd?

I think Xellos is actually an example of a player who isn't particularly well-looked-upon these days despite having won an OSL (at least in the non-Korean progaming fan scene).

A single isolated win with no other success isn't necessarily better than non-winning consistency - Sync isn't more popular or famous than Yellow.


Xellos won another tourney beofre then too, maybe it was a KPGA, he beat intotherain I think on NFZ to win it. Maybe it was one of the TV leagues that went bankrupt or something, I think grrr or elky were doing well in it at the time (probably elky)

I think the only reason people know about Yellow is because he was an original progamer and has been around for so long, not because of his consistency. People who know Yellow don't necessarily know Goodfriend. I'd personally take one major glory win over consistency. And Sync's win is only overlooked IMO because of the unfortunate timing.


Yellow played at a much higher level than GF for a lot longer (relatively higher level of course)

GF cannot compare to yellow, merely qualifying for tourneys means next to nothing. MuMyung qualified for tournaments, so did Crystal[Inca].

This is so wrong. Do you hav any idea how much fans Yellow have compared to Sync?


Sync hasnt been on the scene in a while, but back when he was playing his best he was a beast, he and themarine were my favorite terrans, But to say sync has more fans (at least in the non korean community nowadays) than yellow is retarded. Most of the newer players nowadays know nothing about 3 years ago and thats too bad. Sync was a fucking monster, his tvt was godly and he was beating Boxer when boxer was at his best.
