S Class is typically standard for the rank above A. It's sort of the "hyper elite". Generally the ranking would go from S, A, B, C, D, E. S Class isn't a simple rank either, "A"'s are supposed to be a HUGE step above B's. S Class is supposed to be even stronger than A's.
He knows what it means, he was asking what the "S" itself is supposed to stand for I think. ^_^
Edit - Best I could find online was an entry for a Mercedes-Benz line:
" The name "S-Class" derives from the german word "Sonderklasse" for which "S-class" is just an abbreviation. "Sonderklasse" means "special class", meaning a specially outfitted car."

You know, I feel I want to make a comment about this.
It's good to "use numbers and statistics." They are very meaningful....provided you use the correctly. Tfeign is the kind of person who makes people distrust the entire subject of statistics. It's not that the statistics are wrong -- it's that he uses them wrongly and intereprets them wrongly.
Tfeign will use any stastic that supports his theory and ignore any statistic that discredits his theory. If Tfeign were convinced that Pepsi tastest better than Coke and he serveyed 100 people per day and on average they thought Coke was better, then if on one particular day 70 people said Pepsi was better Tfeign would use that as evidence that 70% of people prefer Pepsi, ignoring all the rest of the data staring him in the face.
i'm not saying theres anything wrong with using statistics, i think its fine, but i'm saying tfeign can't see the game beyond the numbers. he looks at kespa as the absolute truth in ranking players, but skill is not such a quantitative thing.

Isn't it from card games? Like collecting playing cards etc denoting rarity/power or something? Guessing here, but I've seen it mentioned in these terms also.

He only cares about the KeSPA ranking because it says CHojja is #1. You watch. As soon as Savior surpasses Tfeign, we will see "Yeah, but you said yourself the KeSPA rankings aren't infallible."

I know THAT. I mean, what does the "S" stand for. A, B, C, D makes sense, but why is S above A and why just S? Obviously the "S" must stand for something. I refuse to believe a system could be so arbitrary as to put S above A just because someone likes the letter S better than the letter A.

i dont know, they could've worked. savior controls games with pure mutas, and valks are tough to fight with muta. but saviors muta/scourge control was too good.

Seemed like a pretty standard arkanoid opening to me, you do know its kind of an island map right? It was the fact that he basically lost them all without doing anything with them that sucked.

For reasons I can't understand in Asia "S" rank is above "A" rank.
It's totally arbitrary but very cool.

Hi, I'm an Official Asian(TM) and I will provide you with insights about Official Asian Logic (TM)
S = Super
Super -> A, B, C, or D (especially D)

Er, I guess it could mean "special" too

All I know is that when you say something is A rank I immediately think of school.
When you say something is S rank, I feel like that someone could hand me my ass just by being in my presence because it's so awesome.

in all 3 games boxer couldnt effectively stop savior's mutas harass, and it put him on his heels. imho back in 2001-2002 boxer forced everyone to evolve and change thier style of play, especially the zerg players because his sk terran is and was so strong; for a long time no one evolved far enough to be able to dominate him, no one except savior. it is a shame that boxer must go into the air force because he is the kind of player who will evolve also and take the game even further, finding a way to again dominate. but then again maybe there is another player out there who can find a way to stop the zerg swarm from over-running bw.

Erm, Boxer doesn't go sk terran too often.

To me this whole series seemed uncharacteristic of Boxer. In most of the games i've watched boxer uses alot more cheese. It's his style. He not only finds holes in his opponents strats, but he creates them with his unique styles. But too me he seemed to be playing in a much more serious mind set. He was not showing off or taking his usual calculated risks at all. imo he played more standard tactics than usual.
