This is always how things go. Whoever wins recently = THE BEST EVER. Same with every player really. The hype train just cannot be stopped. Stephano doing well on ladder? OMG STEPHANO IS THE BEST FOREIGNER OF ALL TIME. Hero wins his first tournament ever? OMG HE IS THE BEST PROTOSS IN THE WORLD. Naniwa won like 5 matches at Providence? BEST TOSS IN THE WORLD HANDS DOWN.

It's really silly. There's no denying all those players are really good, but just because someone does really well at something recently certainly does not make them the best.

haven't read too far back in this thread, but what do people think about MVP accidentally lowering all his depot's at the end of that last game? i think if it werent for that he would have possibly been able to stay in the game long enough to stabilize... especially when looking back at game 2 in that same sense.

Jjakji vs Leenock 0-2 so far in the gsl. Anyone know Jjakji' TvZ skill atm?

I think MMA's TvZ is quite close if not better than MVP when he's on top form, but MVP is definately one of the best so Leenock has this I think.

Yeah, MMA's TvZ has got to be better, because he's got amazing Zerg practice partners like Min while MVP has to practice with Nestea and Losira.

(Although I think you're right, MMA's TvZ is pretty amazing.)

While that is true this is quite different tough.
We are not talking about silly ladder rankings or a winning streak.
Leenock always looked great ever since GSL open season 2,remember him and clide on skakuras back then? It was awesome.
For some reason he had terrible luck with the players he went up against.
Now we seen him doing 34 - 5 sets at the most stacked MLG there is and taking down MVP, the claimed best player in the world.

While saying he is the best is still early its not the same in competition/consistency in examples.

This is exactly why people can't claim leenock is the best. He's had 2 good showings. The consistency isn't there. You can call it bad luck, I call it not being able to handle the top players (until recently). Leenock is definitely on a hot streak right now, but to call him the best in the world over someone with what..9 championships in 2011? Silly.
