Wasn't soulkey even better than jaedong? This is good news! Though he hasn't played in such a long time, I wouldn't be surprised if he's around trutac's level now I'm the biggest SK fanboy out there, but to say he was better than JD would be a stretch. His ZvMech near the end was arguably as good as anyone, but to say overall he was as good as JD would be an overstatement. Arguably the second best zerg for that last year of BW, excluding the hyrid PL stuff. I remember he had a higher score/rank than jaedong in the end, though I don't remember the specifics. Did there ever exist a stretch where he was maybe playing better than Jaedong? Sure, but that's actually true for a lot of Zergs. There were Terrans who were better than Flash at times too. Even the greatest pros weren't in peak form 100% of the time. That's usually not what people mean by "better than X" though. Using any reasonable time frame, there's no comparison between Soulkey and Jaedong though. That's not a knock against Soulkey, who was a top 5 Zerg for the last year or two of BW, but he's still a guy who never made a BW final. Jaedong is by any measure the greatest Zerg ever, had the highest peak skill, and highest peak performance of any Zerg player.
I think the point is that SoulKey was on the upswing, and was widely regarded as the next big zerg superstar. Him, BoGus, and By.Sun were all highly hyped, and while they had yet to make much of their promising talent, who knows what kind of legacy they would have created had the professional Brood War scene not been truncated.
Nobody is trying to put down Jaedong here. His place in history is safe. However, SoulKey had a better grasp of how to play versus late mechanic than Jaedong did during the final moments of professional Brood War in my opinion, and it is an opinion that is quite common.

We used to have snipealot restrooms of afreeca. What ever happened to those? Afreeca has never worked for me in the past.

I thought Soulkey was growing as a player and would've definitely had a top spot in the next generation of Zerg players once Jaedong had peaked and declined. I felt that players like Soulkey, P7GAB, and By.Sun had potential to take over given more time.
Couldn't agree more here.

soulkey vs rush bo3, 1 game was pretty good,very nice defiler control
|
Soulkey's very lategame ZvT is a thing of beauty.
|
Wow, that 50 min ZvT vs mech.
|
that game vs sharp on CB... looked good until the 40 minute zerg frustration kicked in. ZvT is nowadays a mental struggle
|

Is he coming back to bw or is he playing for fun? why not both? The question is will he play professional matches or not, the answer cannot be that he both will and won't =P Only Soulkey can answer that. Honestly I'm more curious if Nal_rA will start competing again.
really unlikely, nal_ra's level of play is really low compared to new schoolers

effort jaedong soulkey shine zero hero... the list goes on
zerglovers eat your heart out
soulkey is so much potential i expect big things from this guy
|
GARIMTO was playing a game ( funny apm ) he was guest to Nal_rA . they had a very nice time .
|
Soulkey was very strong in his race but Flash who was against him. How to play of soulkey was cruel Zerg race.
anyway I thank a lot of Soulkey come back to StarCraft BW.

Wasn't it because of the EURO season? Some progamers streamed it for their fans and as a result EURO was on twitch thus twitch closed it?

Soulkey with his 230 APM doesn't need 400+ Effort APM to crush TvZ monster Light. After watching couple games it looks like he doesn't give a fuck, he just sauroning his way into enemy's base.
|
Wouldn't call Light a TvZ monster. He was getting crushed lately by Larva (0:3), Zero and Hero
