Very reasonable. Can you honestly look at Leenock (other than 1 series), Kyrix, Zenio and Idra and see something in their play that would be worthy of a RO4 GSL? If you can, I'm going to have to call you biased. Sure they didn't have a fluke result like some players or an undeserved fluke result like... well, just Rain. But even if everything was right and perfect in the world of SC2, those players are not a RO4 material, much less a consistent top player material. Losira may not have a great BW past, but my point about him was that he's showing some great play NOW and having higher quality showings than other Zerg players NOW. While most of the others aren't really playing that well now, NOR do they have the history or background that would indicate they have some skill that they're unable to show because of, I'm assuming, imbalance. If we're talking about foreigner scene, best foreign Zergs compete in Korea (or at least did until very recently) where the skill bar is higher and they can't get to the top of it. Ret has won the first big European tournament he attended. Idra won an MLG. Moonglade won regional IEM. Dimaga doesn't even play in big live events. So it's pretty much ONLY Morrow left without a big tournament title as Zerg (and he's had reasonable success otherwise). What more success do you want, and who do you think deserves it exactly (except Morrow)? On April 02 2011 21:21 Primadog wrote: Despite blatant trolling, I'll play along.

There's almost two dozen players in the whole world with similar stats to IdrA! Obviously, then, IdrA is not a world-class, top player. To be bestowed the title of "Top Player" by Talim, IdrA has gotta get better stats than that! It's not like IdrA is the only one ever to improved his standing in every GSL, oGsMC did also, and that's two too many players! So there's like 20 players in a Starcraft 2 scene in its infancy with similar "success" after only 5 GSL tournaments. What's your point, that everyone on that list is a world class player? Don't be silly. Some of the other names on your lists include: choya, Polt, TheWind, Check and Maka. If you're calling them world class players, I don't think it's my standards that are questionable here, or my understanding of the term "world class". If TL had a Power Rank for SC2, it would be hard to fill it up with 10 people each month (which I'm assuming is one of the reasons why it doesn't exist yet). There's like 5 world class players in SC2, a couple of up-and-coming top players that are here to stay and not on a fluke run, and it ends there. | ||

Thats a lot of games to play over the entire weekend including the 4 they played on friday. I would mad impressed if someone does that at one of these MLG events and wins it all. | ||

They may like they have in the past have the Open bracket final matches streamed and commentated but I'm not too sure. If that is the case then play resumes in an Hour and 45 minutes ish I believe. | ||
