And Carlsen is the new top-rated, young player (though he hasn't won too many huge tournaments yet... so not really like Flash  maybe like Flash was in '08) | ||

Jaedong won just too easily against him. | ||

Fantasy is 10-4 SWL (and 2-0 vs a mediocre mst group). 3 kill against mbc, hite and oz (non-jd). Stats is 12-3 SWL, AK fantasy and his posse (including Bisu), AK woongjin, 3 kill khan (non-stork). fantasy for #4 next PR. | ||

According to this list Flash was still 300 points ahead of Fantasy at the beginning of March. I'm no expert, but usually "regular" PL/WL games don't give so many points I think. Edit: Here's a little more official link to the latest KeSPA rankings. | ||

According to what Coach Oov told Fantasy, if he won 2-0 in MST and made a 3-kill against Hite he would overtake Flash as #1. Remember that you lose points as old results get older so Flash will probably drop in points while Fantasy will rise a bit. | ||

According to the list that was mentioned Fantasy still has to overtake Jaedong as well... Flash has dropped in points but not that much. Fantasy is still quite a way behind... And Flash also won his MST group 2-0 remember? that also will push him up... but maybe April's rankings change everything... we'll see. I just thought its interesting that Bisu seems to have dropped a place every month... Fantasy is an amazing Terran, but Flash is what makes people say Terran is imba... Flash should still be no.1 | ||

(I vote kasparov myself) One of the reasons is many of the possible candidates for G.O.A.T. had their primes set in different time periods. We have no way to know what will happen if Kasparov played in the prime of say Capablanca. It is impossible to determine if say Flash > Oov if flash played in his prime during that time. Its pretty much all speculation when someone says something like this. | ||

It's KeSPA rating... and he won an OSL whereas Flash / JD didn't even make a final, he's BOUND to be higher. Please dont judge with KeSPA, do Elo, please. Please! Also Putting Fantasy above Stats because of KeSPA is plain dumb, he beat Fantasy and made 2 all kills, played like a fucking monster truck PvP and played one of the best noone bisu PvZ vs Zero. How can Fantasy be above because of KeSPA rating (the dumbest system ever where only 2 persons can be above 1k or so, its retarded how on can be at 2k, another at 3k and then maybe 1-2 at 1000-2000 and then rest is below 1000. | ||
