6-4 last 10, 3 of which were losses to Bisu. That is NOT "sucks balls". | ||

These days, being "good" just doesn't cut it. If you want to be the best, you have to be able to perform under pressure, and Leta hasn't shown that. Top Terran I'd say is still Flash followed closely by FBH. | ||

My pick for now is Leta, since he has been SUCH a Fantasy beast. We will have to wait until tonight to see if he is actually worth the hype (Sea will be very tough to beat). | ||

You can't really claim that because Terran's have struggled to make the BoX stages during these times. Also, what defines pressure? I find Ace matches one of the most high intense pressure matches to play behind Set 5's and PL Finals. Leta has pretty much won every Ace match this season bar one, check out who he beat too. PuMa - meh player Luxury - good player Really - good player If he keeps performing the way he is, he is going to have a breakout season similar to what Flash did last year (GOMTV S2/Daum period). | ||

I think you just pretty much made the case why Flash is the best terran. He's put on a pedestal that even losing to Stork is someone a minus. OTOH, Leta hasn't beaten a top player since the beginning of the PL season against FBH. I was wondering why someone would bother to mention Leta of all people for best terran. Now I get it. Fantasy points(arbitrary statistic made for fun) is now a method of judging players I guess. | ||

There's your answer. I liked Leta's consistency since last season, but he has yet to beat the S-class progamers. Right now he is doing his job well: beating everyone that I consider decent, but not the elite-tiered players I don't see Flash beating JangBI and Stork , maybe Best . But he sure as hell got a better chance then Leta does thought  . | ||

And if you say that we have to wait for the next Starleague season before we can say that, I'd like to say the same thing about Leta. If you just watch this Starleague season, the answer will become clear. By the way, why does everyone hate Really? I think he's pretty good... No not correct, offlines have alredy started and flash is still in both leauges Flash as of late has been tearing through all the leauges so id have to give him that no.1 spot but its followed close by alot of other terrans 1. Flash 2. Mind 3. Sea 4. FBH 5. Leta 6. Forgg | ||

Not only that, but how good his TvZ is is still unclear(he beat Lux with 2port wraiths, and used 3port wraiths to give himself a large advantage against GGplay). For TvP, although he beat Kal twice, Best, and Bisu last season, all he's done this season is lose to Best, get proxy-gated by Backho, and bash some mediocre protosses. With FBH suddenly improving his TvP and Mind playing better, I think that number 2 terran is a close competition between FBH, Mind, and Leta. Number one, though? Maybe in a month or two. Right now? no way, sadly. | ||

His TvP is stylish and sometimes godlike, but he sometimes makes mistakes he shouldn't. Like his game versus stats. Sure he won, but it was not a clean victory against such a (currently) low tier protoss. His biggest problem is his TvZ. But I think that as long as he can prepare some cute strategys ahead of time (like Leta vs GGplay) or surprise his opponent (luxury vs leta) I think he could beat most zergs in boX on a good day. He's not the best overall, but who is? I could not possibly say, since FBH's TvP isn't near champion level, and Flash is deep in a rut in TvZ as well as TvP (sure he plays nice games, but he's still doing his outdated double armory strat). Mind is looking better again, but not good enough (yet at least), fantasy is kind of meh as a lot of his PL games has proven, really has loads of potential, and skyhigh looks like he might be able to do what iris could not. All the terrans are good at different things, and it's all about who (or what race) you're playing against. A lot is happening in the terran camp, and a new top dog is probably going to be crowned pretty soon, it's imposible to say who though, but Leta is my pick. + Show Spoiler + but that could just be fanboyism : ) | ||
