MisO kinda threw his lead away trying to bang down the natural. Maybe he felt he had to end the game because of the early CC. | ||

 Snow using the Coliseum structure to keep himself safe with highground cannons, so (much later) Shine gets his revenge by just parking his army on the highground and never lets Snow get a third until the game's already over. | ||

It was a sort of half-base-trade, but Snow just seems way up. | ||

if he just had better map awareness, he might have won today. But all the time, scourges were rdy but he reacted not fast enough or not at all. | ||

Shine had nice ideas but outclassed Tasteless was in a hyper goofy and unfocused mood the second set, pretty annoying tbh but ultimately harmless | ||

. Ample seems pretty solid, glad we'll have at least 1 T in the Ro8 now. Snow vs shine: shine just isn't looking as hot in zvp as he was 2 years ago. Snow played a lot better than he did vs miso, but shine's micro and multi-tasking seemed pretty off. Every single time snow harassed him he would get too distracted and lose a ton of hydras in his main army to storms. It seemed like a couple months ago that there were a ton of really good zerg players, but now it seems like soulkey is the only real killer zerg right now (especially with effort gone). But honestly I have no idea how his zvz is, seems like currently that MU is just as much of a toss-up as it's ever been. Hopefully he'll advance past action next week. Next week should have some really good MUs though, can't wait. | ||

Not that it matters though, I think both lack that spark you see in players that make deep runs in tournaments. | ||

I find it hilarious if Tastosis says everyone is so much better at everything right now than back in the Kespa days, barring a few exceptions. I think their view is very skewed and the most best for them is always the present. | ||

I think their view is very skewed and the most best for them is always the present. I feel like you guys keep misinterpreting me. Modesty was fielded as a player during the kespa era for more then one game. He became a regular B tier player enough times that I remember his name. Someone like backho or rock is a good example of a B tier player we all know who was pretty average too. Modesty also did have a great streak in the sonic era and it wasn't just versus Terran. He actually played well versus all races in 2014 and almost looked versatile. Then he left the scene until now were it looks like he has hit a reset. I'm not saying cause he was a kespa player he is a God, just that I think he has reached a greater level then miso in his career. | ||

Like, just leave out direct comparisons if it isn't true and everything is fine. | ||

He didn't beat anyone tho except a ... ZvZ vs Hydra If you're saying modesty was better than rock or backho... sure. Damning w/ faint praise. Was he ever elo'd t30 back in the day? And 2014 was a BW nadir. | ||

The difference one should expect from a player of modestys caliber and background simply is more than someone like Miso. https://tl.net/tlpd/korean/leagues/735_2010_Bacchus_OSL/games He didn't beat anyone tho except a ...

Skyhigh a vT sniper, Pure career sub-40% winrate vs Zerg. Give a mediocre player enough opportunities over acareer and they'll have one or two shining moments, sure. But look at the bracket. He won a bo1 over Fantasy and beat a couple of his mediocre B-listers. Variance. When was he top 30? Kespa was pretty stacked. Modesty got regularly deployed in proleague on one of the worst teams, sure. Almost never made any noise, and it was never sustainable. A list type players back then: Bogus, stats, roro, hydra, zero, best, stork, bisu, flash, mind, sea, leta, jaedong, effort, calm... I'm getting lazy but I could name another 15 players. even dudes like yellow/july/fbh were more reliable up until the very end. For the record I consider roro the gatekeeper of what was A lister. He was the definition of a super solid, super boring standard macro Zerg who rarely lost to people below him and rarely beat t8 talent. God I just spent way too much time thinking about modesty Id be surprised if modesty had a > winrate than miso, either over the past two years or over the next two | ||

Skyhigh was actually a solid terran player at the time, his decline came later and was sharp. No ones trying to debate that modesty was this great player, but he was a solid kespa player who got fairly regular play in proleague, he did, in fact, make it fairly deep in a league. You can make excuses for any run, the fact is he did it, he beat legitimate players on stage in macro games.He did beat Fantasy in a bo1. Pure and skyhigh were bo3s, sure. But they weren't good players. Kal used to be great, but iirc after his semis or finals run he was never the sams and his career fell apart quickly. Dont remember what ahape he was in when modesty beat him. If he was in t10 shape, fine, sure, even a bo1 over two t10-type players is impressive.

Sorry this is turning into a Kal nostalgia post but damn I love that guy, he had the most fun shuttle play to watch in the entire world. He pretty much always came up short when the pressure was on against true S-class players, but he was consistent as hell for years. Apparently according to liquipedia he won the Protoss player of the year award in 2010?! Kal rules, too bad he didn't come back to BW (apparently he had a botched chin surgery?) | ||
