I strongly predict that we will see a period of time when light makes it to the top 8 or possibly even the top 4 once again, although of course that's much less likely (yay math). This starleague is not for him. The map seems to be designed to eliminate terran. Something only Flash and Mind have resisted with frankly very impressive play. Not many mistakes at all. I think the map pool is somewhat difficult for terran this league by choice and that next season the map pool will be more straight foward or more open ended on who is favored. I think zerg having 3 early gas is a wet dream for top level zergs and I think the results show that. I think sparkle is a really tough fight for terrans this season but good for zerg and as always islands are nice for protoss. Especially if the islands are smaller. Just storm the whole landing area repeatedly -- > repeat  | ||

It's fucking impressive. You know why? Cuz light gives very in-depth commentary throughout every single game. If you can understand Korean, his vods are a goldmine of information. He has a ton of builds and shows you exactly how you should react and respond to every situation. Yeah he is a top pro, but he really doesn't play that all seriously and goes out of his way to inform. Light is a beast but I don't know why he is not in ASL. Are other terrans just that much better? Flash is leagues ahead for sure, but what about Mind and Sea? Does Light compare to them? How about Last? | ||

Because I saw sea, sharp, mong, and rush in the ASL but not light yet. does light have a chance to come back and be a regular asler? | ||

However, to be fair, the pairing for foreigners is heavily versus others foreigners in the new ladder system (since patch 1.21.4, I think? -- But that's just a different topic). Dandy could be using a VPN right now, I don't know, but if he is, then SUPER impressive to maintain 3000 over that many games. I'd have to assume that he is -- he'd be waiting 10,000 seconds at that MMR if not lol. I know when Bonyth was laddering, foreigners were still getting paired vs Koreans in one of the older patches, so Bonyth's is also very impressive (he's inactive right now). The koreans are predominantly only playing other koreans in today's patch. For pros, it doesn't matter if they're playing koreans or not, they're still going to win. Most of these pros (tier 2 and higher) could go similar record, maybe even 100%, if they actually tried. As koget said, most of them leave mid way thru for sponsored matches, etc. For instance, Shineeee, the terran Progamer, dominates ladders consistently since Fish days. But he's not a tier 1 progamer. Even Scan, what is he, just amateur level (?) -- he is in the top ranks too. For Light to go 56-2 is not impressive, it's just expected lol | ||

For Light to go 56-2 is not impressive, it's just expected lol Being in a top rank does mean something, however the record and rank do not determine how good you are and be successful in the tournament. I've reached 2900mmr with only 5 losses before when I was active in SC:R. Account named SouL)T(eSaGiTo. I stopped playing because it is so hard to get a match with someone who's at the similar mmr, and i don't want to waste a lot of time waiting to catch 1 game. I know some people think stomping lower mmr is a bad idea, but when you are on practice mode such as testing/practicing optimization of few strategies, it's a good way to do so. For an example that I could think of would be working out at the gym. You want to build/fill up your muscles so you are doing a bar curl that has about decent amount of weight. Slowly doing the curl and checking out your arms through the mirror front of you. | ||

Rank isn’t everything. Ladder isn’t always indicative of people’s skill (people could be testing builds, etc). Ladder should never be held in absolute terms. Some people just aren’t good ladder players. Eonzerg could be an example of this (not really, because he's still like 2600 ... ). My point is, Eonzerg still performs very well in tournaments and such, but isn't as good in ladder as someone like Bonyth. But that’s not the point I’m addressing. My Point is if people like Bonyth and Dandy can get these stats, pros can easily do it and with close to 100% or at 100% if they want. Nothing about tournament success etc. Which is why I say Light’s stats are simply expected. | ||
