While I love July, he hasn't been impressive at all, and San is solid but not spectacularly good. Ryung's TvT and TvP are both extremely solid, and Min is just a macro monster with a good head for strategy. Both just qualified for Code A, btw. I don't think half of the guys on this list could do that (although, a good amount of luck is involved due to the inherent volatility of the game). :D Please elaborate. Over the past month July has taken down MVP, Clide, Nada, Anypro, Whitera, Huk, Jinro, and Moonglade. Pretty impressive kill list if you ask me. | ||

Obviously korea has the biggest scene right now, and US has the second biggest by quite a bit. If you wanna argue what country has the better players at least set some kind of definition. You mean a best top4? top8? top1? :s No. Just take the winner from each big international tournament, and voila, a definition. | ||

His PvZ is absolutely BEAST: he's beaten NesTea and Sen without making a single colossus in either game, or winning with early pressure attacks. Reflect on the PvX matchup for a moment and take in how impressive that actually is. There are a lot of protoss players not making colossus at the moment just watch some of the recent TSL games. | ||

Nope...stop looking at results and look at his playstyle. It's not sustainable, and unless he evolves, who knows? You honestly think I'm trolling when I just typed two paragraphs on WHY a couple of other Koreans have impressed me further? How about looking past one sentence? Edit: this is not an appeal to authority, but many other progamers have criticized July as well. They must all be jealous and/or trolling? | ||

You mean a best top4? top8? top1? :s Actually US scene (players) aren't second in terms of skill. Canada, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Ukraine are all sky high in skill. US got NASL, right but US players aren't dominating anything yet. | ||

Yes, but how many of them are beating NesTea and Sen? My point was moreso that he's doing it, effectively, against the best zergs the game has to offer. + Show Spoiler + carriers v Sen and archon toilet v Nestea? he wins for baller points alone | ||

Ace doesn't impress me all that much TBH. I'd throw Bomber or Ryung in Ace's place. Unless Bomber was suffering from a serious case of nerves when Ryung played him, Bomber looked COMPLETELY outclassed by Ryung. | ||

July just got second in GSL beating a ton of top players and he was the by far best korean today. None of the guys he mentioned made anything that would earn you a spot like that. | ||

I dont know how you can say that July isnt evolving. Look at the build he used vs Huk, thats part of his new play style - and it was fucking insane. Could possibly alter the way Zergs play now | ||

I saw it and I thought it was a pretty good game yes, but compared to all the Protoss out there these days Tester is easily second/third tier. Same with Genius, who I've always been a fan of since he made macro Protoss work so well he has just not kept up with the newer players. Keep in mind Tester has been on the cutting edge of PvX builds for a while. The now nerfed pylon/cannon block was his (thanks a lot, lol), and he was using colossi/phoenix PvT long before it was popular in the metagame (think back to some all-star tournament *name eludes me* where he won a great game vs Nada on LT) Yeah he has done a lot for the race and is very inventive.. he's not always the best at performing them though. I loved him a lot in beta and he used to be very good but like I said above he just hasn't kept up with the newer players who are improving rapidly. | ||

Tbh I don't even care how the result ended up. I just love the fact that it was such a great series and nobody can say that foreigners are a walkover. | ||

Min hasn't earned a single won from individual play, so there is no point lumping him with the best until he does so. A player like HongUn qualifying for all five GSLs is much more impressive, especially when you consider the first three were opens and he had to go through qualifiers each time. Then he made at least Ro16 in the 2011 GSLs, avoiding the up-and-downs. That's about as consistent as you can get. | ||
