Well, to me it doesn't matter too much if Flash decides to hold on GGing for 20 seconds longer or not. Doesn't really change anything for me. Also, JD was winning in proleague before he forgot consume(same trend that was in game 2 in finals), so that's actually a pretty amazing thing(stupid mistakes easy to fix are a lot better way to lose games than just being outclassed normally because the mistakes can be polished off with a little bit of time and after that JD will just defeat Flash every game). You can choose to not believe players far better than you if you're blinded by your fanboyness, not my problem really.

Or you can choose to get off your damn high horse and realize that it's not a clear cut month, no matter what side of the argument you're on.

He spent the entire post pointing out how right it is to think Jaedong should be #1, and how much of a better player Jaedong is, so any middle ground he proposed is a bit of a sham. And did so on top of being a dick about it ("you can choose to not believe players far better than you about it" and the blind fanboy garbage, despite the fact he can't apparently admit Flash, too, happens to be good at Starcraft).

Leta all-kill, fuck yeah! I hope he can keep it up so he remains high on the PR next month as well.

Jaedong = Flash skillwise atm. Flash>Jaedong in terms of accomplishments this season, hence Flash at #1.

It also helps that Jaedong's vP is far superior to that of Flash.

While it is certainly possible that this is true, I don't think that quoting a Terran on TvZ map imba is really valid. I'm sorry but I've followed what pros have said about maps and they always skew the imba so that it's against whatever race they play (not surprising). Find me a quote from any Zerg pro that any of the maps favour Zerg and it would have much more meaning.


Well, the same argument applies to Zerg players as well when they say T>Z on a particular map.

YES REALLY FINALLY GETS RECOGNIZED !!!!!! LETA/REALLY FIGHTING!!!!

Oh and Upmagic had a winning record a few months back, so he has had a career positive winrate in the past (and is right about at .500 right now).

Oh I even missed this, but I believe that his statement can be translated to T > Z on MP T > Z on FS, T >>> Z on OE and T >>> Z on Ulti.

Fighting spirit is the most even imo, match point still seems to definitely favor terran if not for the harrassins possibilities which still aren't too amazing, and those 2 others are just ZvT graveyards.

? Look, I could put together a similiar post about Flash as I did about Jaedong. It doesn't have to be my opinion, but those are just reasons for why people who like that specific player might believe that JD deserves to be #1. What's hard to get? Have you never tought objectively without regarding your opinion on the matter?

And yes, I believe the players I was referring to are better than you, better than me as well.

what?

how can Z>T on matchpoint and fighting spirit be translated to T>Z on both.
im confused.

Miracle is right. Thats what i've been trying to say before romads post.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

Sorry for writing four posts I was being very stupid. However, my point remains. If we are to look at this month's games, Jaedong should be above flash. The author himself says that one of the reasons flash is over jaedong is because he feels that in another best of five Flash would win.

This completely misses the point. IN THE FUTURE, flash may win, but for now, Jaedong won. And instead of revealing his Flash fanboyism why not put Jaedong over Flash because right now, Jaedong deserves it.

Oh and which is more reliable? Map statistics, or two terrans regarding a map imbalance?

IMHO, let Shikyo and jakel do next months power rank!! Flash who? I think we will see Jaedong from spots 1-10! TBH he sure deserves it, I mean come on he totally outplayed all his opponents in all matches but falling on his own mistakes in the few matches he lost =(
slash (/ <---(slash)) Sarcasm

I must admit though that it's pretty amusing to read all the arguments for or against Jaedong/Flash as #1. The arguers are trying so desperately to display their point of views in a way to show that it's the only right view on the matter. At the same time they are trying to make their whole argue look so unbiased as possible. 15 pages argumentation, in only three days!?

What? And why would you be stupid enough to randomly insult one of, if not the, greatest SC player of all time?
At least thats what I gather by your post.
