InCa is 0-3 international PvP, 81% Korean scene PvP, they probably only look at international when they say he's best PvP.

Actually I just noticed (P)HerO has 74% PvP win rate, so he's a little higher than Elfi, but w/e Elfi is one of the best.

I just watched the Vods from semifinals and forward. My god there are some awesome games that took place at Asus Rog.

Well written recap and a very humble interview by Elfi (almost too humble)

I just wanted to emphasize that IdrA started 2 series down 0-1, and came back to win them. Because, old IdrA would have run himself into the ground after starting a series that way. Glad to see he can overcome that negative mindset.
Abstracts, the too long didn't read of the educated world.

He did qualify it by saying "of any player with a substantial sample size." I am assuming he did not consider HerO's sample size high enough. But yeah, either way elfi has a great winrate.

I totally read "gracked" and thought it was awesome, but then it was just an illusion in my nerd brain.

Nice interview with elfi. I sort of think he is a bit overrated. He won most of his pvp's with 4gate ... and pvp is his (self - acknowledge) only good matchup? Then what is he good at?

Either way, though, congrats to him and major props to idra for not tilting after game 1 in the finals haha

Man, I love the modesty to admit that his pvp wouldn't be as good in GSL--then, in the same post, he shoutouts Maru, the best cat in the world. You've got yourself a new fan, Elfi

I just spent 30mins watching the Maru video channel. Great article btw but if the result is saved at the end of the paragraph, it would be a better read (imo).
