- Ranked #8 among terran players of all time. - Ranked #15 vZ player of all time. Over is the likes of Garimto, HOT, Nada and Yellow. - Ranked #18 TvP of all time - Ranked #8 TvT of all time. - Ranked #10 TvZ of all time. Now, these are in no way accurate uip-to-date statistics as pgr21.com record every tv broadcasted game. But it is still impressive as hell. (btw, boxer has an all-time tvz win % of 70%. How scary is that) | ||

He also had some wins from the duel and challenge league I think. Even more impressive was Boxer himself in the same tourney, going 10-0 and finally beating TheBoy's old record of 8 straight. Raped ElkY 3-0 in the semi's as well. | ||

If you think Koreans have some special genes that help in gaming you are complete dorks. Just look at wcg it was in their fucking home and still half of them didn't make it through the groups the first time around, and we all know it didn't run smooth at all the second time around. All of a sudden they looked like casual gamers when they faced foreigners, but you guys only needed to see them in their stupid space suits next week to restart praising the godly skills of each single one of them. There are probably 30-50 non-korean players in the course of bw history that would do as good or better than Elky in Korea if they had the opportunity to go there and wanted to remain there ;(. | ||

Well guess what they can play 24 hours a day 5 years straight and still only the talented ones will be better than talented players of other countries. Only if two almost equally gifted players have different ammount of practice this would make a difference If you think Koreans have some special genes that help in gaming you are complete dorks.

Comparatively, he hasn't been increasing in skill at the speed that other progamers are but he hasn't gotten worse. ;( Yea yea yea, cut the bullshit. There is no way pro-gamers from Ktec can get that much better than much faster than Elky. Also, if Grrr.. can get worse, anyone can get worse. | ||

Every time when foreigners meet the 'top 4' Koreans at WCG the Koreans suffer losses and yet everyone thinks they're godly or something. Why? (though there's not 30-50 people who could do as good as Elky) | ||

(though there's not 30-50 people who could do as good as Elky) Still the Koreans usually go 5-2 or 6-1, which is a VERY good winning percentage against some top players from around the world. Expecting all 4 koreans to go 7-0 and win the top 4 spots is unreasonable. Plus, the competition for this year's WCG will probably be a lot tougher than previous years | ||

Altho I would think NaDa is less scary than boxer (for non-koreans) because of his style of play.. | ||

have a look at the last 14 ppl veg played. They ALL have WORSE then a 2-1 win ratio. Else just look at madcows account and you will understand that stats mean very little | ||
