Korea's a hard place to compete - people prepare properly for a competition and every game is cutthroat Also he beat Polt 3-2 a month back. Saying Kas isn't code A level seems very off to me.  | ||

Korea's a hard place to compete - people prepare properly for a competition and every game is cutthroat Just because somebody isn't in Code A doesn't mean that they're not Code A level. You can only say that if someone fails to qualify for Code A for over a year of actively trying. Based on the level of gameplay shown, there is little difference in skill between top foreign players and less accomplished Code A players. There is a lot more that goes into it, of course, but flying in a few days before a Code A match and lack of proper preparation certainly doesn't help. But to claim that they can not play on that level is simply false, because it is very much obvious that they can. | ||

Kas is good, top foreign Terran perhaps, but he not Code S level, probably not even Code A level. u realize this was probably the stupidest comment ever written? you trying to rub in that kas lost to mvp? what are you trying to imply with this?  you want a list about the people who lost to mvp? that's basically everyone he ever played against (few exceptions).bitter EG fanboys are priceless. your team got its ass kicked, deal with it. trying to belittle kas' skill is pathetic. | ||

GSL is so much more skilled now than it was 1 year ago. | ||

GSL is so much more skilled now than it was 1 year ago. So Kas has beaten MKP and Zenio at offline tournaments and has never lost to a korean, who is not MVP. But he still isn´t What does he have to do, to make you believe, he is? His games vs Zenio (Code-S) looked as one-sided as the games from MC against Ciara at TSL3. Naniwa also has beaten guys like Nestea, MVp, DRG, MC. He should be CodeS or atleast Code-A-level as well, it just seems, that he has a mental blockade at GSL. | ||

Kas absolutely destroyed zenio at kiev maybe he wouldnt do so in the GSL studio, but still he is at least on zenios level if not above and as far as my information goes zenio is code S level | ||

Context, my friend, context. If I had just dropped this statement out of nowhere, it would have been a stupid immature thing to say. But I made this comment in response to someone saying that kas can beat anybody in the world. I just decided to give a counter example to that claim, which I felt was false. Don't get me wrong, I believe that kas is a top foreign Terran, but not a MVP MMA level terran (yet). I also felt that empire's win was well won. This has nothing to do with supporting eg or empire, it is about responding to someone overhyping kas. | ||

It's the sweeping generalizations and arrogance that make statements like these so ridiculous. Is Kas really good? Yes. Is he one of the best Terran foreigners? Absolutely. Is he hands down, 100%, without a doubt, can be proven, the absolute best Terran foreigner and anyone who thinks otherwise is batshit crazy? Well, Thorzain and Jinro and DeMuslim and qxc and Fenix and a whole shitload of other Terran players are pretty damn good too. And we could argue back and forth over who's currently the best, who has more achievements (and which ones are more noteworthy), who has been doing better for longer, and plenty of other things. But it's just plain ignorant to claim that a single Terran foreigner stands out far-and-away from the rest of the pack (to the point of ridicule), in the same way we can point to MVP's achievements and say that he's clearly the #1 player in SC2 history at the moment. | ||
