SKYHIGH

jk

he looks so much like FBH though, do you think after each successive loss to FBH, Savior goes back to the CJ house and punches Skyhigh in the face?

He probably just saves it for the big losses, because if he punched him in the face for every loss he wouldn't look like FBH anymore :p

Mind and Flash are already established in my opinion.

I think the major 3 outside of that are Best haran and 815

Best needs to solidify his late game

haran has generally looked impressive as has 815

Guemchi briefly looked impressive but has been looking lackluster since

Kal has show a lot of promise, I'm surprised he isnt on the list.

Because Kal is not a rookie, he has been doing all right for STX in proleague for a couple years now. He has been steadily improving his results.

where did guemchi come from? especially by that margin.
his only impressive win was over sea and that was on katrina.. the rest have been vs heavy slumps or just plain bad players and he has an overall losing record anyway.

His first TV game was this proleague, cut him some slack. The Hanbit coach has no one else to send, so he's putting pressure on Guemchi, sending him out almost every match.

They are probably judging their career potential hence why Baby and Guemchi got so many votes. They are younger, more time to improve.

Dude, the reason why their percentage is so low is most people think they're very impressive established players already. This poll is for rookies only. Most people do not think that Flash and Best are rookies, do you?

Dude, the reason why their percentage is so low is most people think they're very impressive established players already. This poll is for rookies only. Most people do not think that Flash and Best are rookies, do you?


Read the OP date.

Hope? For protoss? They have all the hope they can get with bisu and stork. The zerg seriously need a savior,a hope damn it.

Well, Jaedong looks like he's coming back into form. I'm confident he'll make it to at least RO4 in one of the starleagues. So I can ridicule this post a year from now here are the zerg who I think will make it big. I believe at least half these guys will be A-level within a year: Effort, Zero, Hoejja, maGma.

even granting you the fact that you didn't look at the post date, that's silly logic. if that were the common view then they wouldn't even be options in the poll

And Flash 10% along with Best 3%. Oh do the times change.

I kind of called that Mind would suck. After he beat Bisu in the MSL it's like...you're never going to achieve anything else in your life ever again.

I can't even remember who by.Sun is. I had to TLPD it before I realized that it was baby, who hasn't done much of anything but lose.

Mind is still quite strong and a threat to most players . If they tweak the maps a little in favour of terran and with a little bit of luck Mind could end up in a semi finals and from there on i think he could take it .

When mind was at his peak he was fucking imba
Destroying zergs on Blue Storm 1.0 and taking protosses on Loki? IMO thats the same level of Flash being the only terran with actual wins on Katrina.

Wish he came back though, I fucking loved him

Mind use to be insanely good, in his MSL run he took down oov, savior and denied bisu' third straight MSL Final wins. But maybe it is a fluke considering oov was way pass his prime, savior was not the same player he once was and Bisu's PvT is pretty inconsistent.

I reasd the thread a bit. The reason why Flash scored only 10% was that people back then already saw him as an established player. Comparable to how Leta wouldn't score very high in a 2010 Rookie poll.

Flash was a really cheesy terran before he became the monster/ultimate weapon that he is now. Not all that surprising. Mind was also very cheesy, but he became the youngest MSL champion and a champion before Flash so the hype was there.

I actually think that in winter of '07 (before flash won his OSL) mind was probably seen as the better player (since he had already won an MSL over bisu.)

Dude who else remembers when Guemchi got all those all kills!!!! i do. Those were the days. that was in like, 2009 - 2010 though.

Also, the people in this thread who said Effort in late 2008 were the most right.

Did flash really only start being good after/ during 2008?

At the beginning of 2008, it made sense to pick Mind as the best new player since he had just won an MSL and the best Flash had done was 4th in an OSL.

This poll was retarded even back then. No one voted for Flash because he wasn't really a rookie. Neither was Mind...nor a bunch of players on the list. No one really thought Mind was more promising- yeah they thought he was going to be a lot better than he turned out, but if you asked in a straight up poll who would have a better career, I'm guessing 90% would have said Flash.

My favorite part of that is the guy saying "I think TL is biased against him". I'm waiting for someone to use this as an argument in the PR.

Closely followed by Cpt.Obvious just going off on how Flash needs to die because SC doesn't need anymore faggot cheesy terrans. Of course this is only interesting because he has the "Happy Birthday" icon.

This poll was retarded even back then. No one voted for Flash because he wasn't really a rookie. Neither was Mind...nor a bunch of players on the list. No one really thought Mind was more promising- yeah they thought he was going to be a lot better than he turned out, but if you asked in a straight up poll who would have a better career, I'm guessing 90% would have said Flash.


You know Mind was terran god at his peak?

When he owned Beesuit in the MSL, but he never really stood out as a S class. Just close.

All this talk of S-class is meaningless. Mind was one of the best TvT, had the best timing TvP ever and had incredible TvZ.

Most good Terrans were in agreement that Mind was a level above all but maybe Flash for quite a while

This.

I'd say until forgg came out of nowhere to win Arena, Mind was the clear number 2 Terran.

He started in KOR, transferred to Pantech, then to KTF. He wasn't in Pantech for that long, so I don't think crediting them with 'generating' him is really fair. Dumb move on their part though.

Not really. He was really good, but he was never great. Compare Flash to Mind at Mind's "peak" and it will probably favor Flash. In fact, just counting 2007 their records are nearly identical, slight advantage going to Flash, only real difference is Flash got dismantled by Stork in the Daum OSL, and Bisu crumbled to Mind in the MSL. Mind had a lot of talent, and people expected him to be great, but Flash was still way more promising.

Ya definitely. After his MSL win, everyone was expecting great things out of him. We had just come off sAviOr era and Bisu was really taking shape so the terran presence in starleagues wasn't too good. Mind had some really interesting TvP but I remember his TvZ was kind of sloppy (sAviOr still lost to it). He was good but no one near god and he fell out pretty quickly.

The fact is, Mind's GomTV run was extremely impressive. It doesn't matter if Flash's overall win rate was the similar during the period when Mind defeated the 3rd bonjwa Iloveoov, 4th bonjwa Savior and 5th bonjwa candidate Bisu in one run at the age of 17, the youngest title holder in history at that time.

He nailed in Savior's last gasp at revival and destroyed Bisu's chance at bonjwahood.

It's because he was just so stale. Nothing entertaining, and nothing innovative. I mean yea Flash was boring for about a year or 2 with his mega turtle TvP but he added a whole new mentality to the matchup. There was really nothing to remember from mind other than he was a great player at one point.

People give nicknames to players easily. When you think of Forgg, people call him the Time Attacker but reality was that he, while fairly good at timing attacks, was just exploiting a play style that people found difficult to deal with at the time.

Mind was a part of the era of the timing attack terran and they went out of fashion fairly quickly. At the time Mind definitely had more potential than Flash because he was actually good and putting out actual results (while fanboys were crying/laughing at Flash cheesing Bisu/himself out of the OSL) but after Flash's dual series with Stork there was no guessing who would become the better terran.

apparently he was 100% against bisu *last night* (referring back to realpenguin's article), then he went back to being mediocre. Well possibly after the allkill, kind of like Neo G Soulkey.
