Best is terrible my ass. He is not in his top form right now,that's true,but look at his PL stats,he is very solid,he won crucial ace matches,and beaten top players. Yes,he should be below JD,Flash,Kal and Jangbi,but he is still a top player. He didn't qualify for the MSL. So fucking what? He is a seed in OSL,and the majority of players concentrate only on one league. And let's not even talk about Lucifer again,he had good results,but he never was a powerful player. He lost to the first good player he faced and then started choking really hard.

Best simply sucks, only the myth is about him. "The god of pvp" lost to (P)Stork and was outplayed by (P)Tempest and Ynyeon (or whatever his name is) who are not top players. Next PR Best should be way under (P)Kal, or (P)free, or JD or (T)Flash.

Also, i disagree with FS: PR is not about being spectacular but having good results and being spectacular same time. It is enough to remember the dispute about Best vs (P)LuCifer or (P)LuCifer vs (P)Pure last season when (P)LuCifer had similar streaks with those two, and was pure fun to watch (mass templar drops etc) and he never was in PR.


GOD, how can someone write so many nonsenses in a single comment? That's an innate talent, isnt it?


EDIT: i just posted a link, previous page, where you can see Best is laughing his ass off, he didnt give a shit about MSL prelim.

+ Show Spoiler [GOM season 2 spoiler] +
Jaedong just payed TERRIBLY against Tempest and lost 1-2. With that, there is no justification for Jaedong being above either Jangbi or free. Neither of these two protoss have played anywhere near as bad in recent weeks as Jaedong played against Tempest. Hell, there's a strong case for Kal as well.

Shameful, Jaedong. Shaaaaaaaameful.

I think it is not just Jaedong, he is still the best Z. It's just all the zergs are having extremely hard time as of late.

This MSL is going to be interesting. Perhaps one of the young zergs, Calm, Saint, Great, Effort, etc. can step up and fill the void. I mean, protoss is my favorite race and all, but please, NO MORE PvPs!!

Okay,so there is no forgiveness to Jaedong anymore. I bothered explaining all his losses,but I just can't do it anymore. He clearly sucks now. I hope he comes back sometimes. Losing to Tempest? Holy shit! Free and Jangbi should clearly be above him. Kal too. And I can even see valid arguments about putting Best above him.

JD beat both (T)Flash and Best recently.
(T)Flash has recovered, but Best still lose to noname players, just like JD.

On the other hand, look at the maps: the zergs have no chance. Someone said before that all zergs have tough times these days, what the map records say, FS?
How do you explain alot of protoss players invaded the PR? How do you explain noname tosses rip apart top zergs? (P)Stork, (P)Bisu, free, (P)JangBi, (P)Kal, (P)Pusan are good but how about (P)Tempest, (P)SangHo, all beat top or good zergs?

Now take a look at (Z)EffOrt or (Z)ZerO. They are on a good results, but none played with a toss for months. (Z)Saint won with (P)HerO and (P)BackHo but lost to slumping (P)Much. (Z)RorO is one of the best players on WeMade FOX and lost to tosses. (Z)Calm, one of top form zergs still dropped 3 games vs p and won only 2. (Z)hyvaa is 1-2 vs p this month. Lux in 0-2, losing to fucking (P)Spear. (P)Jaehoon's only victory in last 5 games is vs zerg.

JD, Lux, Yarnc, (Z)Kwanro all lost 60-70% of their matchups played recently with tosses. God dammit, even (P)TT almost beat (Z)sAviOr and had 4 times more army than (Z)sAviOr when (Z)sAviOr distroyed his pylon...

(Z)OversKy lonely is on 5-2 vs p last 2 months.
And here comes Best: losses to (T)Hwasin who cant do tvp lol
About Best above JD in PR the figures say it all: JD- 8- 4 (including GSL)and Best is 4-4 november (including MSL Survivor). Both losing to (P)Tempest, who now is on better shape than Best with 5-3.

Am i right or am i right?

On one hand we have alot of tosses doing good and alot of zergs doing bad. And from all the tosses in the world, 2 are doing bad: Best and (P)Much. Capisci?

About (P)LuCifer, you didnt get my message. You said PR is about playing well. (P)LuCifer is a bad player. But at that time he was on a good streak just as Best and (P)Pure. Best was on OSL and with good results on PL. (P)Pure was only on PL. (P)LuCifer was on one classic league, GSL and playing good on PL. He was spectacular and he had good results. And still he wasnt on PR which contradicts with your idea of "playing well".

If you think by playing well means only long macro game its your problem. Starcraft is not just about macro (with Best having only mechanics and not having mind- games with (Z)July and (P)Stork explain all of this) its also about being innovative, knowing when and how to cheese, the "smartiness" we all love from (T)BoxeR and (P)Nal_rA.

I have the ultimate answer, i seek the ultimate question

Best still is a good player, His PvT is good, just Hwasin figured out his bo, on a t friendly map ( You have to change sometimes Best! archives into arbiter is cool, but after the first 10 matches becomes predictable). That's his greatest weakness, he's sticking with his builds. That's why he lost to Stork in OSL too. His stellar stat in PL cannot be denied.

And i think you're right about the maps. The only maps where the zergs are beating toss are the old maps. Destination, Medusa (altough i dont find it imbalanced, Meduse is a great map), Chupung all have negative record for zergs against toss. Not talking about MSL maps which are terrible, as always (Byzantium? anyone?). However it's undeniable that the tosses are more in form, and the zergs are lacking dominant players. (Jaedong falling, the "rising stars" didnt rise just yet, Savior didnt come back yet).

Almost the same goes for the Terrans, Fantasy didn't become the new terran emperor, Flash was pushed off from his road to Bonjwa quite long ago and didnt get back on it yet, the older terrans decided to not be in form for couple months (Nada, Iris, Midas, Hwasin). The lower level good terrans are pushed away by the medocre protosses (Really < Sangho etc)

The fact that zergs dominated the MSL preliminaries pokes a hole in the map imbalance theory causing the rise of protosses. People need to realize that the zergs are losing at the highest level because the best zergs aren't that good these days.

It's because the Forge FE build eliminates the slight imbalance for zergs in ZvP and ZvT has always been slightly favored toward terran.
However, the only way to tell if a player is good because he's good or because it's Maps/Builds is when that person wins against imbalanced maps and MUs. and builds.

yes, the zergs dominated the prelims. Why? why... Because EVERY SINGLE TERRAN THAT COUNTS ALREADY QULIFIED! And the important part of the protoss race too.

Terran:
(T)Canata, (T)Dongrae, Fantasy, (T)firebathero*, (T)Flash,
(T)fOrGG, (T)FrOzean, (T)go.go, (T)Hwasin, (T)Iris,
(T)Leta, (T)Lomo, (T)Memory, (T)NaDa*, (T)RuBy,
(T)Sea, (T)UpMagiC


Protoss:
(P)BackHo, (P)Bisu*, (P)Bul_T, free*, (P)HerO,
(P)JangBi*, (P)Kal*, (P)Much, (P)Stork*, (P)Tempest


Pls tell me who do you miss? Got someone? Go and chek out, they surely quilfied, like Midas, tester, Light, Baby. Ok, Best and Pusan are exceptions, it happens...

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.
