EPTCan you link me to some clanwars where ROOT beat Sen Lucifron Fenix and 'insert 4th player here'? I could have been mistaken so if you can show me those cw's I'd gladly support ROOT as being #1.

I could have been mistaken so if you can show me those cw's I'd gladly support ROOT as being #1. it hasn't happened, and im not saying we would win or lose, I mean I like my chances much like im sure Fnatic would like theirs... Drewbie QXC KiWiKaKi SLush CauthonLuck SUGGY Sheth and Myself I think if we go deep into the rosters should be the best team unarguably. ofc in a clanwar with only 4 1v1's or 'korean style' anything can happen... but it hasn't happened yet.... we haven't lost a single clanwar to any of the top teams in NA yet, that's all im saying. If we were to lose one soon, it would probably be to Fnatic, they have an amazing roster. Either way, Sen and Lucifron arent really NA server players, so if we are to bring them into the discussion perhaps we should discuss where Team Liquid, Mouz, mTw, oGs and Prime stand in the mix too, no? anyways, pointless discussion of what if's, and if you think fnatic or EG is a better team than ROOT, I won't dispute nor argue with that because its pointless, its all subjective and they're both great teams. cyu! | ||

Sports teams in other arenas have been carried by 1 or 2 stars, don't see why starcraft is any different. If you want to rank purely on accomplishments, Root is far and away #1. I don't really care to do that as EG hasn't played with its full roster really.. ever. When looking at the strength of each team IdrA is clearly the best of the bunch. With IdrA leading and EG's other players supporting I find it hard to believe they wouldn't win the majority of these scrims, i'm not sure how anyone could deny that. This reminds of an MMA argument that was had 6-7 months ago back when everyone was crying over the LW rankings of BJ Penn and Shinya Aoki. Some people argue only accomplishments matter and Aoki should be #1 as in the past year he'd fought and defeated better fighters. While some argued BJ should still be ranked ahead because in a match up BJ would be a heavy favorite to win. I tend to agree with the BJ ranking. Whocares if you're #1 on paper if everyone thinks you would lose if you fought someone else. for the tl:dr i find it hard to believe with EG's full roster (IdrA) EG would lose the majority of clanwars against any NA team ie. 100 scrims vs root, 100 scrims vs fnatic, eg loses more than 50 vs each team. Therefore I believe EG Is the best team. i'm confused, are you saying that idra would carry EG in a 4 1v1 and 1 2v2 CW or in a korean style cw? idra is good but he is not invincible and theres no way in hell he can allkill root, sorry pal. also idra has no clue how to 2v2 so maybe in a standard cw he would be a 75% chance to win 1 match....... how does this make EG the best team? also there is no way in hell that idra will ever all kill fenix/lucifron/sen/tt1 whoever else fnatic throws at him. he is good but you are seriously over rating him. | ||

I have to agree. I wouldn't even really call it a team if they had to rely on Idra in winners league to win clan wars against top clans such as root/fnatic. Would be like Jaedong and oz  .but I can't wait to watch the root vs fnatic hopefully Sen plays :D | ||

With the addition of Sen/Fenix Fnatic is a clear favorite in any format vs EG (including IdrA) or Root. | ||

I can see fenix being considered maybe because he is from south america but... he plays on the NA server. Sen should not be in the discussion | ||

Can fnatic even be considered a NA team if their HQ is in Europe (iirc from cs 1.6 days.) Should NA teams have to be based in NA, or is it simply rostered player locations? Can IdrA be considered part of EG's NA team when he lives in Korea and has for a few years now? Can Sen be considered part of Fnatic NA when he lives/plays in asia? Should team liquid be included in this since they have NA players in Huk and tyler? Does it matter where you're living location is if youre actively competing in major NA events, MLG, IEM, Blizzcon etc? To me I'd have to look at the entire teams roster. To my knowledge Fnatic doesnt have fnatic.NA, fnatic.Asia, fnatic.EU so I tend to look at the team as a whole, so I would include Sen, Fenix and lucifron etc. if I'm going to try and rank teams as a whole. The tricky thing with rankings is everyone has to be using the same critieria or you're really arguing fruitlessly. This happens ad naseum on MMA forums. And for the record I have nothing against root, they actually are home to some of my favorite zerg heros. <3. I'm just a nerd who loves to debate/reason/argue about superfluous things like subjective rankings lols, hence all the MMA references. SC and MMA are the only 'sports' I follow and I discuss them to a fault. | ||

We're talking a team full of people equipped in 2-2 gear, or Shako MF sorcs. IdrA resembles 10-10 + fully legendary zealer :D | ||

I also wouldn't be surprised if Idra in the current patch could all-kill Root. Catz in ZvZ or Qxc might be threatening. I simply haven't seen enough of Idras ZvZ to judge. But certainly it seems possible he could all-kill them. | ||

I must say though, it's not only arguable whether IdrA is or is not the best non-Korean sc2 player, but it's also VERY unlikely. Imo he most definately is not the best non-Korean player in the world. He perhaps may be in the top 5 though. That's arguable ^_^ | ||

If Idra is the only one carrying EG (hypothetically), then root wins as soon as Idra loses to a unique strat from someone like Kiwikaki. Once that happens, then it all comes down to the posturing of the lineups. If Idra goes 3-0 before losing, then whoever beats Idra will have to be prepared for a lot of different strats and root's chances are low. If he loses before 3-0, then root has a much higher chance. | ||
