Idra also went on to win the whole thing (beating Sjow/White-Ra/Select) while Ret went home with no prize money, if I recall correctly. I don't disagree with the idea as a whole (Idra is currently playing better than ret), but please don't fucking do this. Starcraft is too complex a game to try and prove "X is better than Y" by saying "X beat Z, Z beat Y, therefore X is better than Y". It's a terrible argument that ignores how players match up with one another, how they were playing that day, the maps in question, and a whole host of other things that all can play into a series. A players skill isn't a number that they put up against eachother to see who wins. | ||

Idra greater then ret period. More accomplishments, more wins against more notable players. | ||

Idra has by far better results than ret in general, i can kinda get idra, huk and hero being about equal, i'd probably put the edge with idra seeing his recent form. Puma just destroys protoss in general, i dont think he's ever lost to hero. I dont want to take any sides here, but I dont get this opinion. Main tournament results for Idra were winning IEM China and recently winning this one Invitational in Finland. While Ret won Assembly Winter and Blizzard Invitatonal EU. Objectively one would have to say that Rets 2 wins were bigger and more importantly that the competition there was bigger. Maybe one could argue that the overall results are about equal, but claiming that Idra has far better results than Ret is a real stretch. | ||

And then you have to look at tournaments where neither of them won...which in most most of them (90%) Idra placed considerably higher. Rets wins are also from quite a while back. You could toss in IdrA's GSL Results or IPL1 if your going to account Assembly. | ||

Since this is a grudge/ego high running match tho, anything can happen. If ret pulls the upset and liquid gets lucky with a 2-2 they lose though. People keep saying HuK will be EG ace, when it wont be. Puma will be, and he will crush any player they use (more than likely will be hero, and puma will smash him i expect). I am not a puma fan, im a hero fan through and through, but im just being honest. I am sorry, but I don't know why so many people think demuslim is better than ret... Just sayin | ||

Also IPL1 was played like 3 months before it was shown. But I don't know why people feel the need to compare players based on achievements | ||

Yeah sorry, I don't have all of Idra and Ret's individual tournament placements memorized to a point, nor am I that good with math where I could give you a specific number on the spot. As it stands, in the past MLG's, IEMs, GSLs, etc, Idra almost always places higher than Ret. The only one I can think of Recently where he didn't was IPL3, where I think they tied? Or ret came in a couple places ahead. Obviously they are both terrific players, but I find it odd that someone actually thinks that Ret is more sucessful than Idra. (At least recently, I.E. past 6 months) this isn't fanboyism either, my favorite foreigner zerg is Sen anyways -.- | ||

Ret- Assembly Winter 2011 = zero Koreans Blizzcon EU invitational = zero Koreans - although Ret did get the easily the hardest bracket possible, rolling through Strelok, Thorzain, and Naniwa twice. however considering since Naniwa went to Korea, he has basically fallen off the map and hasnt produced any notable results whatsoever. noone has really said it, but i would consider him slumping after since at least Homestory cup three. and that's is literally it for big name tournies ever since the game released (dont even kid yourselves, small online cups dont count) he hasnt even gotten any top 4 positions in big tournys like MLG/IEM/Dreamhack/etc, just 2 golds in "non-competitive"(no koreans) tourneys. IdrA and thats not even counting tournys they have both been in, and guess who usually always placed higher? i think it's safe to say that this argument has been settled | ||

Objectively speaking, Idra has won more than double the prize money that Ret has, and has more than double Ret's 1st place finishes in major tournaments (more than triple if you count Beta as well). He's also placed higher in every tournament that they've both participated in, except NASL1. To even pretend that there results are remotely close is laughable. | ||
