That said, Parting has proven he's a great player, so while he may not be the "best" at this very moment I have no problems accepting that he won a world championship. I think he was the best in the tournament on the day, so he deserves the win. | ||

We're saying he's not "THE BEST IN TEH WORLD" So what do you get for proving with your extensive amounts of "evidence and facts" that Parting isn't the best in the world, and that he does not deserve to win the WCS? And why should I give a @#$% if you are right or not? If Flash was bonjwa in BW, why couldn't even he get more than 3 OSLs? To me, Parting today is the "best player in the world". That title may or may not disappear down the line quickly, and life just goes on. That's just how things work out. | ||

That's not what the tournament was though. It was the finals of a massive, continental spanning tournament where every top player in each country got an invite. Each region was represented approximately equally (which led to ridiculously hard qualifiers), and those representatives then duked it out to determine who the best in the world (right then) was. It's literally how every 'world championship' style tournament functions. If you want to watch the best players in Korea play games with weeks of preparation, you watch the GSL. If you want to watch a world championship, you watch WCS. In simple probability stakes, your odds of winning a GSL are a hell of a lot higher. General strength, endurance and consistency are rewarded 10x more than preparation, and single elim to the finish means if you fuck up once, you're done. I don't really see how you can say one day of Code S is more conclusive than what was basically four tournaments (qualifiers, WCS Korea, WCS Asia, WCS finals). The fu? | ||

Wait no Yonghwa world champion because koreans are the best and he won WCG korea. Wait no Nestea never fell out of the gsl ever so Zergbong world champion? Team IM declared world champion until this can be sorted out. ^-^ | ||

This isn't limited to e-sports, it happens pretty often in other sports too where the team/player that wins the world championships may not be the undisputed "best in the world".
