No one said Hero was the best protoss in the world at the moment, but it's quite ridiculous to say that he's not in the top 8 in the world. Only a biased person would say something like Top 15 or Top 20. And yes, being top 8 means "one of the top protoss". It bothers me this double standard for koreans. If they are not in the top 4 of their respective race they suck. But foreginers being no 1 on their ladder or beating one korean gives them so much credit, even though there must be literally 100 other players above them from that point (except no1 on Kr ladder.) Hero is a top player no matter what people say. And because of the lack of successful protoss players He is top 10 easy. | ||

Hero just hasn't really proven himself against the best that the GSL has to offer so far other than a win against Jakjti when he played some really odd games in IPL Fight club I think. Btw, who's been performing better? JYP or Hero? GSL spoilers + Show Spoiler + Hero just beat JYP in code A to make it to ro24 | ||

I know he hates TvP though, to the extent that occasionally he swaps sides and streams as Toss heh (he's not bad at all, beats KR GM players with it sometimes) ye, which terran doesn't hate TvP atm though? well to that extent maybe not many ;p | ||

Code S is just a title. There are alot of players that were once in Code S but are not as good as HerO is right now. Do you count those? Or do you count only the ones that are currently in Code S? So if HerO gets to Code S this season, he magically becomes superior? Does getting into Code S grant you experience points or something that you can use to upgrade your skills? Code S is a good indictation of a player's skills but it's not the determining factor. | ||

That's what they said about Puma, Huk, Jinro, Idra and et all. Who's on top is cyclical. Hope to see the names above shine once again, but they're all definitely not top-class currently. | ||

I guess hero has nervous issues but what makes you think other players dosen't have nerve issues? Heck, even MVP says he gets nervous in matches some times. I really think we should take a step back and stop using nerve issues to find an "excuse" when our favourite players lose. | ||

To be fair, MVP hasn't dropped out of code S until the season is over. Yeah, hes playing in code A but thats the format. Only when he starts in code A next season could we say hes a code A player. | ||

Yeah but taeja has been stomping so much in so many competitions, if anything, elfi should be the nervous one since hes facing a more "famous" player. | ||

Storm, colossi AND double forge on 2 bases make no sense because you just end up with no actual units, and this game is good proof of it. | ||
