zero or soulkey over effort over any period of time is insanity though. | ||

He certainly has the potential to be one of the best again, but let's not crown him too early, okay? Whether or not he turns out to be S-class again, he undoubtedly reached that in BW, unlike just about every current player other than Bisu. I think that's all Mirabel_ is saying. That said, Jangbi was also an S-class player in BW. Zero and Sea are the closest out of the other players, but never fully reached that S-class level. To me, S-class required having both a stretch of game-to-game dominance, along with a stretch of high individual league results. For example, Jangbi was S-class before his OSLs (in fact, the OSLs alone might not have been enough, especially with the scene fading with the dual proleague and all by the second OSL), due to him being a game-to-game beast during a stretch in 2008 / 2009 (also being outright unbelievable at PvT), plus making back to back MSL finals and the GSL final. | ||
