And many people will look at that and conclude that he's trash, which couldn't be further from the truth. 2 Code A Ro32 appearances means that he's successfully qualified for Code A twice, which is extremely impressive and means that he must be a really solid all around player. If I recall correctly, you have to win something like 6 consecutive series in the qualifier in order to reach Code A.

True, he hadn't been terribly impressive when he got to Code A, but that's a really small sample size and you can probably chalk a lot of that up to nerves and inexperience in televised matches.

Remember that a guy who's probably a top 10 player in the world, Startale Bomber, didn't manage to even qualify for Code A until March.

DRG was completely unknown before GSTL, where he proceeded to tear up everyone other than MMA. San was supposed to be the worst player by far in Code S before he suddenly was "probably the best macro protoss in the world" (roughly quoting Artosis).

Point is, you can't really tell based off of a small number of showings exactly how good most of these players are. The 4 players with easily the most success (NesTea, MVP, MC, & MKP) have each been dropped to the up/down matches in at least one of the past two GSL's.

Line is not, and never was, as bad as people here were saying. Likewise, Jinro is MUCH better than his recent televised matches would indicate. His mechanics and micro are Code S level. He probably needs a new TvZ style, but he'll be fine in the long term.

I'm hoping if this gets to infestors/hive that he just throws down tech labs and pumps ghosts.
