IMO, the progamer with the most amount of success for such little talent and inspiration.
What exactly do you know?
I find it AMAZING that people still think that Kwanro is some skillless scrub even after making it to an MSL FInal and then the Semi's a season later.
Kwanro is actually damn good all around but he just rushes often. Kwanro does not have a weak lategame...
uh kwanro isn't very good, there are zergs with far better early-game execution, and zergs with far better lategame management. Jaedong, Effort, Calm, yarnc & luxury when they play well, by.hero, and zero are all better players overall than Kwanro.
When yarnc/luxury/by.hero are playing poorly, which is a large percentage of the time, it could be said that Kwanro is a "top 5 zerg", but the claim is wholly meaningless. the guy is really nothing special, and has benefitted from comparatively easy draws in both the last MSL and this one
Stork/Zero/Flash/Iris was a pretty good silver run and Bogus/Light/Flash isn't that bad. Particularly beating Flash and Light in series games.
I mean I guess you can rationalize it as Flash was in one of "those" phases and Light decided to channel a bit of Sea and choke his ass off vs Zergs in a tournaments but, all said and done, Kwanro beats good players when it matters pretty often -- more often than any zerg not named Jaedong, Calm, and maaaaaybe Zero.
the names aren't important. kwanro was basically handed most of those games.

That's like saying Flash didn't deserve his OSL Title because Stork just kind of handed those 3 games over in the finals.
I WILL MAKE EVERYTHING A FLASH COMPARISON EVERYTIME

Nah it was just because he was kinda being an idiot. It happens to everyone.

I suspect there is a strong positive correlation between twitching and stupid mistake

Kwanro you are bad. It's like you put yourself in good sitautions until mid-game, where you transform into some b-team zerg.
It was really just the wrong choice of builds. Personally, I hate seeing zergs go for guardians because It seems like 90% of the games they just die without doing any damage. All Flash had to do was make some wraith and Kwanro got squashed.
