Exactly what i was thinking watching the series, it was about how perfect Jangbi was playing back in pro days defeating greatest Nada, Flash and Fantasy and now i see players without much practice struggling to perform well, otherwise good ideas for their games. Skill is definitely lower and its obvious. What i see is just not that well calculated, practiced and performed compared to kespa bw. Because of that, games takes much more unexpected turns, which can lead to more confusion to players and strange games like action vs sharp for example.

Agreed. There is simply no comparison.
Many people praised Rain like the one with the chance to win vs flash i rememer there was a big discusion about same thing with Larva. I never understand that, first Larva never proven himself to be strong player in any ASL or KSL and Rain never did anything spectacular in PvT either.
Wanting, pure and simple. We all want someone to give Flash a run for his money. And Rain was admittedly having a dominant season against everyone who wasn't Flash.
Disappointed no one wishes to bet on Snow v Flash. Oh well. It's likely to be a roflstomp by Flash, and if it is, it will be immensely disappointing, confirming what we already knew.
But if it isn't?
Won't you want to say you saw it live?
The difference b/w Jangbi at the time and Snow is, well, quite a bit:
- Jangbi had a long history of hypermegaelite play v Terran, and still holds the ELO peak in PvT
- Yes, Jangbi was in a multi-year slump for a while, but he was peaking at the right time
- Jangbi was extremely hungry to accomplish something that, in his long career, he never really accomplished. Is Snow really that hungry? Or is he just happy to be here?
