Polt is right below that, staying in the company of MMA, theSTC, Supernova, MVP, Jjakji, etc. Getting picked by TL doesn't bring you to this kind of status, even when you want to believe that. :< Nothing to do with being picked up by TL. Taeja is there because he's very solid in all three match-ups, which is the same for MKP. He's Rank 1 in ELO because he's beaten a shit load of top players.
TaeJa is rank1 ELO because he stomped Korean Weekly, which are played by mostly Code B players. ( which are good, but code B for a reason )

I would rate him before Polt. Alive is better than Jjakji imo. They are like.. totaly different kind of terrans aLive is a mech TvT monster while Jjakji always carry himself with TvZ and TvP.
Yeah, I just think it's funny how people always overlook Alive. It's like he's the new Polt.

Man Thorzain vs Genius finals would be so great. Thorzain got the sickest TvP. sickest TvP for a foreigner terran is not enough to take down top 2 best protoss in the world at the current metagame. Genius is prity damn good, but i would not say he's second best after watching him this season. Strange how fast things change. If MC would not be such a loser at pvp getting 3-0ed by Genius last GSL I think MC would have won the whole tournament. Instead we had that bad final. Genius is not king of protoss material.
Agree, he got such hype from Artossis and he played fantastic but that was 1 GSL, in ages i expected more from him this season in GSL. So it's hard to place him on a ranking, then again so is any Protoss part from maybe MC and a lesser way Parting maybe ?

That's true, but I also feel like Jjakji did better before he won the GSL because he was less well known then. Alive seems to be doing well regardless.

Well, not only Nerchio, he must also defeft Socke, which is also very hard at offline events.
And yes, i hope that Socke will take the hole thing!

TL users overhyping TL players isnt anything new :p. But ye Taeja is good, but unless he wins a tournament like GSL there's no way you can call him the best

Polt is right below that, staying in the company of MMA, theSTC, Supernova, MVP, Jjakji, etc. ok I'm sure I follow SC2 well enough to know that this is not true unless I missed something huge(and no TL signing teaja does not give him such a rank).
sadly thats how it goes on TL
btw anyone watching World Snooker Championship right now :p

I feel so sorry for Ret. He is so many times in the top 8 of a tournament but he ends up in a final so rarely. And he barely gets stream time.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree with it. Jjakji is super inconsistent whereas polt continually places well in tournaments. Both jjakji and polt have GSL titles as well, but that's pretty much the only thing jjakji has while polt has first at assembly and second at lone star clash as well as being vital for his team in team leagues where jjakji often drops the ball.
Personally, I might consider alive to be better than jjakji, after reaching the semifinals last GSL and winning ipl4 which was the most stacked foriegn tournament we've seen. But again, that's just my opinion.

but to me the best terran I have seen in SC2 is in fact TheSTC, he just haven't proved to the public yet about how solid he really is.

Uh, no. His recent matches in the GSL:
3-2 Jjakji
2-0 DRG
2-0 Squirtle
2-0 Lucky
He's never shown the match up weakness that MMA vs. Protoss and MVP vs. Protoss are, and IIRC people in Korea are saying that his TvZ is unbeatable at the moment. That leaves TvT, and he stomped Jjakji in TvT in two separate tournaments, so where does that leave him?

As a HuK fan I am okay with this as Socke and the extended series rule handed HuK a crucial win after socke's UNBELIEVABLE run at the MLG winter championship. He's certainly earned it
