That post was before his recent win and unfortunately I can't predict the future. I said more or less. I don't think saying that he beat JD in a straight up micro battle is very accurate. He beat him in a straight-up ZvZ, but it was more tactics rather than micro that won him the game, which is actually more impressive. | ||

Leta's eventual failure in league play was visible months beforehand because he did not have the tools to take down good players nor did he have the variance. Effort so far has not shown that limitation so far at all, having instead shown a much better fundamental understanding and having beaten every single top notch opponent except for Fantasy and Bisu, maybe Violet too if you want to stretch things a bit. Although his ZvP is questionable his ZvT is near Savior level (i,e better than Jaedong) and his ZvZ is looking pretty immaculate as well. Yes Effort's streak will obviously subside once he advances in leagues because he will be playing good players more than a quarter of the time. But so long as he doesn't run into Bisu early on he has a very good chance of deep starleague runs. | ||

Can you elaborate a bit on what you mean by Leta not having the tools necessary to take down good players? Do you mean strategy, mechanics, mindset? Or something different? | ||

OTOH that only works once his ELO has been established over a large sample, which it has not. | ||

It would be so weird for a new player to be #1, and this is coming from a huge EffOrt fan. JangBi never had #1 because his rise coincided with bisu's and then he lost to Bisu before he could over take flash. He was number 2 for a bit I think. | ||

His ELO is higher than basically anyone has been except for Bisu/Flash/Jaedong.' edit: Savior/Jangbi/Iloveoov have had higher ELOs. His current ELO of 2285 is tied with Nada's max. | ||
