I know that since Artosis loves Sage everybody thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced breat but Jjakji is NSHS's best player in my mind. | ||

Ah well, at least Maka and a new zerg made it through. BboongBboong and Creator should both have beaten their opponents in their last games imo. BB was in a very comfortable position in his game after holding a bunker rush at the last possible moment...but then he just engaged horribly repeatedly and lost >< Creator held 2rax pressure off a fast Nexus and then inexcplicably attempted to counter attack a little while later up a ramp into a bunker and siege tanks which rather helped even things back up a bit >< Very annoying they both conspired to lose >< --- I probably agree with the guys saying Jjakji is NsHS's best player; he's a straight up beast, certainly at least as good as any Terran in Code B, and comparable to several in S imo. | ||

There's no doubt that he's generally good at it though. He 1-base all-ins a lot. Yes, but not as much as implied as of late, there was a marked change in his play style starting from the Super Tournament when he started playing more and more macro games. Ever since seeing him succeed surprisingly in the ICCUP Korean weekly, I started to rewatch his games and he's not as 1 base all-inny as they say. In the super tournament, his first games against ZenexJjun were friggin awesome and well played with no all-ins, just a straight up macro game with Jjun trying to rush him game 2. His Ro32 games were against Trickster and he did a 1 base all-in the first game, but he then proceeded to play 2 macro games against Trickster and won the last game 2-1. In his Ro16 games against Min is where I think he got the idea of someone who can only all-in, but basically he was baneling busted the first game after a quick econ opener and then he 1 base all-inned the next two games. Finally his infamous banshee control games against MKP in the Ro8, no all-ins at all through those 3 games. At any rate, that's 3 all-ins for 11 games throughout the super tournament. Besides, this criticism of him doing the 1-1-1 all-in against protoss is uncalled for considering the fact that every terran does it these days for an almost free win... | ||

Players that get known for 1base all-ins and start playing macro styles are really terrifying, because you never know when they're gonna slam an all-in down your throat in a BOX series. I think TheBest will grow pretty nicely as a player. | ||

You can't just pick the top player for zerg and protoss and then list a bunch of high level terrans to push your argument. Either list all the high level players of each race, or be realistic and list only the very top tier players from each race. In the latter's case it'd be Protoss: MC Zerg: Nestea Terran: MVP Bomber is a much better terran player than MVP. | ||

Boxer made it into code A by virtue of his 3rd place finish at MLG Anaheim, just like MMA made code S by finishing second. I believe Ganzi made Code A as well, but I'm not sure. Edit: nevermind i was wrong, naniwa gets one of the code a invites instead becauser he's not korean. | ||
