I really don't think someone like Minigun deserves any credit whatsoever. He has shown nothing, ever. Minigun standing in one area while Idra attacks doesn't mean Minigun played well. | ||

If you actually look at the TLPD past the shiny medals... 4 showmatches-winning a showmatch isn't impressive. For his 3 actual achievements: 3rd place in an 8person SCreddit invitational. That looks nice, but in reality, it means that he lost in the 2nd round...not very impressive. 2nd place in the Root Challenge invitational: First, when you participate in a tournament hosted by your own team, your win is less impressive than otherwise, considering many of the people invited are your teammates. The player list was quite mediocre in addition with only a few high caliber players. To get 2nd place, he mostly won against people who have accomplished nothing in sc2 other than winning a 100 dollar weekly tournament once. The only exception for this is beating qxc, who many considered overrated after seeing him go 0-6 in NASL, 0-10 at IEM and losing in many other tournaments. First place in the Root Invitational. This is his only slightly impressive result. But if you actually look at the matches he played, the only people he played were people on ROOT at the time, or previously part of ROOT excluding stalife. So essentially, he can beat his teammates, who he plays with often and knows their strategies. I don't think that's a good indicator of skill because games against people you don't practice with are very different from games with your teammates. For example, Haypro winning the only-teamliquid tournament isn't very impressive as it only contains other liquid players. Admittedly, you could say that the reason he only fought ROOT players was because root players were the best in the tournament, but I don't really know if that's accurate considering the lack of major results from any players other than kiwikaki | ||
