I didn't like Leta for a while when he was surfacing as a force in OGN. The first time I saw him in his match vs Stork, he was amazing to watch, but I got pissed at how hard he abused Blue Storm vs Kal in the playoffs. Now I <3 him because I chose him for my fantasy proleague  . I really don't think he will become dominant but there is an extremely high possibility of him becoming a starleague regular. When I saw his proleague tear, he reminded me alot of Free. He has explosive play at times yet can't pull out the extra strength required to win a starleague. I think at the least he will make it into a starleague quarter within the next 2 seasons. | ||

I posted VODs and linked his TLPD AND posted the important stats from his TLPD AND analyzed his play style. Besides, TLFE is more about hype and fluff then being a data dump. Sick first post, btw. | ||

I think he deserves more attention then he's getting, and slowly people are swinging towards his favor, but right now Leta is like a terran Best... dominant, talented players that haven't won anything. imo, he's proven that he can easily beat S-Class players (BeSt, Luxury, FlaSh, Stork, Sea) He just needs to perform very well in the individual leagues. I think he will, as long as he gets over his nerves. We'll see, the OSL/MSL awaits! | ||

There are those who think Leta will fail in the leagues, and others who think he'll perform pretty well. I'm of the opinion he'll be at least a quarter/semi-finalist this season, if not next season. | ||

and i'm not sure what you mean about nerves... do you have a source for this? I mean, yeah, sea's nerves are well documented and stuff, but Leta has a nerves problem as well? | ||

I think he will, as long as he gets over his nerves. We'll see, the OSL/MSL awaits! His most recent game against BeSt was a loss, Luxury has been slumping hard, he hasn't played Stork since 2007, and Sea...is Sea. For that matter, when did he even face Flash? I'm not saying he's not shown himself to be a top player, he definitely has, however I think you're painting him as more successful than he has been. Nice article though, very well written. My Flash fanboyism just makes it hard for me to ignore that comment. | ||

I mean, yeah, sea's nerves are well documented and stuff, but Leta has a nerves problem as well? Well, when a players wins in proleague don't translate over to the starleague, it's usually a nerves problem. Most Proleague superstars who don't do well in leagues have a problem with nerves and just choke a lot. Otherwise they usually end up performing in the StarLeague within 1-2 seasons. It's a matter of what you expect Leta will do. I think he is more than just a rising star. Dominating an entire league and carrying your entire team is star material, imo. Will he be a StarLeague champion? We've yet to see. | ||

Nice article though, very well written. My Flash fanboyism just makes it hard for me to ignore that comment. He recently beat: Mind, fOrGG, firebathero, UpMagiC, Luxury, Tempest, and GGPlay. He beat BeSt on 08-07-25. Those players aren't any joke. firebathero is absolutely top tier TvT, that victory gives Leta a lot of cred. So does his ridiculous Proleague tear last season with victories against KaL, Bisu, HiyA, fOrGG, BaBy, and BeSt. It was my mistake saying he faced FlaSh. I confused FlaSh and fOrGG. My bad. | ||
