Nvm, this is too repetitive. For Atrioc:

It's not hard, each page is 40 games, so it's to half of the eighth page, hold on let me check.
This is in order by the poll options.

At 300 games:
Boxer 175-125 58.33%
Yellow 180-120 60.00%
Nada 193-107 64.33% *It should be mentioned that he had a nice streak after this.
Iloveoov 192-108 64.00%
Jaedong 206-94 68.66%
Bisu 190-110 63.33%

some interesting things can be taken from this list

JD, bisu and flash have had around the same amount of games as the rest but in a much shorter time, for instance jaedong has had over 300 games in about 3 years whereas NaDa has had the same amount in over 7 years... more games are being played by the newer players in less time, and most of those games aren't against other people on the list, but against wearker opponents, whereas nada, oov and savior dominated when most of the other people on the list were still considered top players

the fact that the skill level and game knowledge has raised is irrelevant as it has raised for everyone and not just the people at the very top, so one could argue that the older players on the list had way more challenging opponents given the information in the previous paragraph, and still maintained a similar win ratio to the newer top players... in my opinion this makes them better if not far better as players, and although this doesn't speak of their current ability to be at the top, one can only assume that guys like nada, oov and savior have all pretty much burned out by now, as they have many titles under they belt and there just isn't much left to accomplish that could drive them to play 50 games a day with intense passion like JD currently does
