Oz, Killer, and Genius have all competed in foreign tournaments. None of them have replicated or bested Hero's overseas feats.

heros international games played: 241, 2 gold 1 silver
genius: 38- blizzcon gold
oz: 36 1 silver
sangho: 22
yeah, it's a fair comparison. hero is much more succesful in proportion (this was sarcasm if you didn't get it)
to make a fair comparison:
hero: 241, 2 gold 1 silver
mc: 262, 3 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze
you see now how astounding hero's overseas feats are

Plus 1 of hero's golds isn't even a major lan so it doesn't count really.

lol, hero is definitely better than creator/tassadar and JYP (at PvT for sure). You cant make assumptions about play in foreigner events. Hero can hold his own vs Puma, and puma iirc was top 3 on the korean ladder for awhile with a really high win%. No use in making blind assumptions that "oh if this person went to mlg, theyd make it far easily".

Meh, results aside Hero is still the most impressive Protoss in the world to watch. His micro/multi-task are phenominal and his strategies are completely innovative, it's just gonna take him more time to refine and perfect his play over other Protoss who have a one dimensional style. I'm always looking forward to seeing him play again, and I don't even like Protoss.

Not that i dont love MC, but his achievements are REALLY outdated and he won the majority of these tournaments when his gate timings were actually working. Hero is relatively new, and the metagame has changed since then + the foreigner events such as MLG have many more koreans that attend now (such as mma, bomber, july, and mvp and nestea at providence), so its much harder to take a gold or silver. Genius's blizzcon win was seriously right when sc2 came out, and PvZ standard was still 4gate. This statistic doesnt prove shit, its better to look at the quality of the games and the competition at the event. Learn to make a good argument.

Well, I like Hero a lot, but to be fair, people have been saying this for a LOONG ass time, he needs to start reaping some results or it's gonna be really hard on him, particularly considering his apparent personality.

Hero lost to Mvp in the Blizz Cup. His vT is decent but not astounding.

Even his more recent achievements are better than Hero's. Making it back to Code S, 2nd at an MLG, and getting to the semifinals of Blizzard cup is more impressive than 2nd at NASL and 1st at Dreamhack, especially when he beat all foreigners except PuMa, and now yet again failed to make Code S.

to be fair MC recently beat MVP, Leenock, MKP, STC, Puma, Bomber with those timings. one of hero's golds doesn't matter either following this logic cuz it was so long ago. plus he'd still stomp all the foreigners that are not p, in the foreign scene only his pvp has became mortal. in hero's single recent gold and silver tournys the only opponent that MC wouldn't have been massively favored against was Puma, and MC beat him last time they met, when pvt was still shitty. it became much better for the protoss since then.
learn to be less biased. Hero's good but not as special as u trying to make it

clide and sangho will definitely cease to be names by the second code A round.
and Creator prime is THE single best protoss in creating strategies. he is the CREATOR of modern PvT, PvZ, and was one of the three that began the changes in PvP as well.

I'm not sure you can say losing to MVP is a huge blow to his reputation.
I mean, MVP is MVP.
