In 2009 he still was considered one of the best protoss players, unfortunately overshadowed by Stork and Bisu. 2010 foolled me pretty much into bielieving that he's no longer a great player anymore, becouse Fantasy, Stork and Bisu, who also had a moment slump in 2010, shown some flashbacks of brilliance even in their darkest hours, unlike Jangbi. Still with his final showdown I think he can be considered a "pantheon-level player" | ||

Except ZerO played more games against Terran in Proleague than Soulkey did. Most of Soulkey's advantage in ZvT comes from the small-time events. Soulkey 23-23 ZvT in Proleague proper (excludes event team leagues and JV leagues) Zero 38-35 ZvT in Proleague proper (excludes event team leagues and JV leagues) Soulkey 5-4 ZvT in OSL/MSL main tournaments Zero 14-11 ZvT in OSL/MSL main tournaments Soulkey 1-6 vs Flash Zero 4-7 vs Flash Soulkey 7-1 vs Fantasy Zero 5-9 vs Fantasy Basically, the difference in their ZvT comes down to their individual differences against a single player: Fantasy. Zero also had the "misfortune" of advancing far in individual leagues, which led him to face more top Terrans in high-stakes series. There's no strong evidence to suggest that Soulkey was significantly better than ZerO at ZvT. People can also certainly believe that Soulkey was a better player overall than Zero if they want. However, it would certainly have to be based on how good he was against Fantasy. Well, I suppose it's all a matter of personal opinion and some version of the eye test. Soulkey certainly had an identifiable style that certain kinds of people really like. However, in terms of individual league achievements they're not even comparable. Soulkey 11-12 in OSL/MSL main tournaments Zero 64-47 in OSL/MSL main tournaments (54%/67%/54% v T/P/Z) Quite striking if you consider the fact that advancing likely means facing stronger players. | ||

That's why I said last few months though. ZerO had been struggling for a long time, so his WR has been pretty low. Only time will tell though if SSL was a glitch or if these last few months were just a bit of a hot streak. | ||

Ehm.... SK's matchlist vs T from pro BW is absurd. It's like 75% of the top tier guys: Flash, Light, Fantasy, Bogus, hiyA, leta, etc. Winning 53% of that is damn good. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that ZerO was a better individual league player than SK, but a strong argument can be made for SK having ZvT just as good as ZerO in regular games, not at least a portion of is the fact that SK was THE large pioneer in developing ZvLategame mech, and was almost universally agreed to be the strongest zerg against the lategame mech transition. | ||
