Which explains why he won in Columbus, came in second in Anaheim, won Kiev, and owns the Team League. Thank you.

DRG probably played a part in that as well. His ZvT is ok too

It does? Can you explain why he was so poor at IPL getting 3-0ed by Lucky? He was in a spot of bother at Columbus a few times, but won despite killing his own orbital against Idra. Most of the competitors there were not Code S material, and he faced really only then top player in Losira. Who was the competition at Kiev? A bunch of players that might be Code B? He mentioned in an interview that he had a list of build orders for each map given to him by his Coach that he had practiced. He's such a preparation heavy player.

As a general rule he's a very good player, but he's a generally a great player when he prepares. Just take a look at how he beat MVP in GSL October. Most of those were planned builds and styles for each map to counter what Mvp would most likely be doing. Its his preparation that makes him so good at GSL and the like.

And honestly, GSTL? He's great in it, but in Bo1s? He cheesed Oz with a bunker against a nexus first last week. He's good at sniping, and generally a good player, but give him a sudden BoX vs. a truly top player, and his play level is markedly different in comparison to a prepared match. As much as I like him (and he's my favorite player), his results in GSTL are hardly the yardstick I use to measure his play.

And Fionn, do you not like MMA?

bleh, I guess you probably dislike him anyway. MMA must be the best Terran in the world at the moment, he has no opponent in TvZ and TvT, and today he will prove that his TvP will be one of the best as well.
