cause no way i'm calling parting best in the world for getting his ass kicked by polt/sniper a few days ago, then beat up some foreigners before pvp'ing the final for $100,000.
Eventhough this is the world championship but the person who win it doesn't have to be the best player overall.
Clearly the best player overall is Flash.
In this gsme ofc. Otherwise the best player overall would be Kasparov.
Honestly I would love to see what a very high ranking chess player (not necessarily top 20 in the world) can do in Brood War provided that he trains 8 hrs a day and gets his mechanics really strong.
Too bad that is infinitely less feasible now with the Korean Pro scene dying. ;_;
They could not do anything because they are too old for that. Hands too slow.
Three of the top 10 rated players in the world are 22 or younger.
you know who would be better at SC2 than a top 10 chess player? a top 10 SC2 player

It's local production guys in China doing it, not Blizzard. Not that it makes it any better.
Artosis is trying to tell me Parting or Creator will be the greatest player in history for winning this one tournament instead of four time GSL champion two time GSL runner up, blizzcon, MLG, IEM and WCG champion IMMvp.
