Can't believe this article placed LosirA third best zerg behind DRG and NesTea.
He's easily the second. Don't know why there's so much more hype about DRG than about LosirA.


The ZvT of DRG was justifiably considered better than Losira's before this. The Game Festival tournament finals that DRG played was inspired ZvT. That was against sCfOu, the guy that took NesTea to a game 5 in GSL May, knocked Losira out of GSL May pretty convincingly, and pretty much embarrassed Losira in their GSTL match.

This in addition to being a Team League hero.

Now, I do think that Losira's vP has an edge on DRG's, and I think this match made some headway convincing me that Losira's vT is comparable to DRG's. It wasn't as impressive a 3-0 as I would have liked, but he beat the guy put in front of him, so no complaints.


I actually thought LosirA was better than DRG long before that match. The last time he had a poor showing in ZvT was weeks ago. And the ZvP of LosirA, I always thought, is god-like. Taking out MC at MLG with splendid games.

Obviously there were mistakes made, and sometimes questionnable decisions, but I haven't seen a better ZvP than LosirA'. NesTea's including.

And that's fine to think Losira's better. I'm very much on the fence, leaning toward DRG, but this is meant with no disrespect to Losira. Yet to say that he is easily better than DRG requires an amount of information that isn't available to the foreign community. There are too few games available to the foreign community of DRG that we can analyze to say 'yes, he is significantly worse.' And the ones he has shown us are really quite good.

An argument that one is better than the other is fine. An argument pretending that the conclusion is clear is slightly more iffy.

Seems like July GSL sucks big time if none of the semifinals matches received more then 3.5/5 :|

Yes, you're right. That was my bias talking.
It's the same thing when saying that DRG is better than LosirA (both in that article, and on most threads).
We just haven't seen anything other than BO1s for DRG, yet on most threads people seem to idealize him, which is getting on my nerve. Don't get my wrong, i like the guy. I just feel a bit weird when I see all that love for him when LosirA is getting almost none, and feels (as far as i'm concerned) the better player (LosirA).
When you play the game of drones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground. Huge IMLosirA fan.
