Actually, there's no indication that Leta has better TvP than FBH right now. FBH beats mediocre tosses, and get owned by top tosses. Leta beats mediocre tosses, and get owned by top tosses. FBH only looks worse because there was a time when he couldn't beat a toss at all.
Both Best and Jangbi absolutely schooled Leta.

THANK YOU.
Seriously, TheMarine used to do dual port wraiths on LT every single game.

Leta is good, theres no doubt about it but hes not number one. Sure hes got some monster wins in proleauge and hes qualified for both leauges, but so has Flash/Mind so untill he takes out some more s class progamers then he's still no.2 btw Flash vs Leta rep, who will win? if i had to rank terran players it'd go 1. Flash 2. Mind/ Leta 4. firebathero 5. Sea 6. fOrGG

Do not even compare Leta to Mind. Mind is S-class baller.

Kind of ironic, since I wouldn't have commented if I hadn't caught both the Jangbi and the Best game.
I did not watch the Best game where Leta won, but I checked and it was last proleague season, back when Best's PvT was not even close to being the juggernaut it is now. As for Kal, well, FBH also beat Kal, and a lot more recently too. So I don't see the point in mentioning him in the first place. Or do you want to bring in FBH's old TvP into discussion, in which case I would agree to be absolutely horrendous.

Did you not watch their most recent game? Best destroyed Leta.

Edit: What newb honestly thinks FORGG's tvt is not good? LOL? Aside from Flash 5 months ago, I did not see anything spectacular. ForGG is a TvZ beast, and his TvT/TvP is above average. + Show Spoiler [edit] + Theres a difference between tvt being "not good" and being "above average". Above average is most certainly good, or everyone's tvt must be disgustingly poor. Lol newb above average isnt certainly good hey don't pull out of the discussion yet, we wanna hear about how awesome ForGG's tvt is

Leta vs hero made me think exactly the same thing. He is at a severe disadvantage, but good timing, macro, and a bit of pure balls quickly puts him at an advantage that he almost always drives home.

Yeah, but overall stats are misleading, his game against Jangbi pretty much was a clinic.

jangbi's pvt is pretty much top level as well

When Flash was starting to become the absolute baller he is today, he was consistently taking down S-Class toss players (well, pretty much all players) (coughstorkcough) CONSISTENTLY, which Leta just hasn't done yet. I think it's really too early to tell what direction leta is going to take (as a terran player, I hope he does start dominating [everyone but flash], but we'll see). Once he starts taking down s-class players consistently, we'll start debating about who the best terran player is now.

the point that the post I quoted was trying to make, is that Leta's tvp is not top level and cant compete with top level pvt's. Which is wrong. Leta already has, and Leta has already won. He's also lost in close fashion, one sided fashion, etc. Like most really good players, he can beat the majority of the best, but he can also lose to them. Leta is not a god, he is fantastic in all match ups, but hes not a god. He can get his ass handed to him some days, just like everyone save #1 on the PR can. And has, recently.

well first time i saw flash fail so badly
god it just made me want to roll up into a fetus
(it was the daum 3rd/4th game on python)

I'm still not sure how much I trust his tvp
and with all the strong 'dragons' right now, that might hinder him
