Good thing Clide beat Ryung 2-1. He was so happy. He was like in tears. That was touching

Yeah, that was a really great moment.

lol you put dongraegu top 3, yet you don't put mkp in the top 10 because he doesn't have gsl achievements. what has drg done in the gsl? (i think drg should be top 3-5, but you can't have it both ways).

Although your standard gsl tournament should count more, you should also take in who player's beat in other tournaments. If mkp beats qxc and sase to win a tournament, then it's not impressive, which is why i don't see his cpl tournament win as impressive. However, if you dominate losira, mma and dongraegu in a tournament, it should most definitely count a lot.

what's more impressive, losing no games to players who have a combined 0 championships to to win gsl, or losing 2 games to players who have a combined 6 championships.

context matters.

So much to read, but this quote made my morning: "Daddy, how did the Protossaurs go extinct?" "A giant EMP hit the earth"

Hahaha, such a good joke. Can't wait to finish the write up.

This was an interesting read. I don't follow the GSL or GSTL very closely, so it's nice to be somewhat informed about what's going on over seas from my foreign land. Otherwise, good writing mixing humor with some statistics. I have to say, however, that the picture for this article on the front page of TL has the saddest zealot picture I have ever seen. Heart wrenching really.

Because someone who just got into code S recently is better than 2 3 time champs.

Naturally. Just like how any Protoss that wins a game is officially the next Protoss champion.

SC2 Power Rank - good idea. After a year it's quite legitimate but I can't help but notice that GSL (and GSTL) offer to small diversity to make it as interesting as BW Power Rank. Yeah - MLG and other stuff matters but not that much, really. GSL Code A is probably a bit harder than MLG or Dreamhack...
