Stephano came real close.

He plays like he deserves to be in Code S, imo.

If we're talking about your posts then I agree. If you're talking about me that is. You can go see the proof yourself.

If you actually watched the games with innovation you would have saw that it wasn't close at all.

I disagree. Idra, Jinro, and Huk (besides a bo1 against Fantasy) didn't have to play against a Kespa player. Stephano and Naniwa did and they were both eliminated by them as well.

Flash wants a word with you

I don't believe Flash needs a word with me to analyze why he is still Code A, while Bogus is going deep into Code S for the second time now. I'm pretty sure he can figure it out himself.

lol I can't believe people really think that a certain "code" is indicative of their skill level, WRONG!

So, I guess Flash 3-1 DongRaeGu in a GSL style format means that Flash is still Code A? Yet Bogus who's Code S couldn't beat him? In this tournament both players clearly knew who they were playing ahead of time and even better they had no crowd to give them nerves. So what excuses are you share with us that will defend your illogical claim?

That's exactly my point. I tried to cover it with: "If this kind of army movement just hasn't caught on yet in Starcraft (since WoL is still somewhat young) I wouldn't care[...]" It was poorly put, I apologize.
What I meant, was the following: I know and of acknowledge that surrounding and flanking in Starcraft is difficult, because, like you said, it requires additional effort to execute. If it was the execution that was admired, I would be fine with it, but that is often not the case.

Today's matches were probably not a good example, they just reminded me of this. But I recall a lot of games where a player (usually Stephano) won a battle decisively because of a flank or surround and the reaction of the casters was always the same: "Omg! How did he do that? How did he not die? How did he beat this many units with his army? ... and so forth. And this "how did he do that" never sounded like "how was he able to execute this move so quickly and flawlessly?", it always sounded like "how the hell did that work just now? really, I have no clue what just happened..." And THIS bothers me. I don't know if some of them just play dumb, to make the players look good, or if they really don't have the slightest clue if it comes to tactics.

You're using an online tournament as proof? From when DRG was in a slump?

A slump? From what I remember he was the runner up at the OSL prior to that game. There's always some excuse from you guys! It's freaking irritating to read. So, it being an online tournament disqualifies flash for beating him? lol that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Also, do you know the prestige that Koreans get from beating Flash? I doubt DRG went "lightly" or was even in a "slump". Always excuses from you people.

And you're making excuses about Flash not being in Code S If he was so good he'd be able to get out of Code A especially since you get so many chances whether by winning your bracket or through the up and downs.

Excuses? lol what excuse did I make? Please quote it. I "clearly" said that being a certain "code" isn't indicative of skill because somebody who isn't even a "code" can beat somebody who's in "code S" in a "GSL style format" in which I provided proof that Flash did. You can quote that buddy! Now you're trying to throw extra things in there that I didn't say to further the argument and hoping that you can escape the hole you dropped into. "DRG was in a slump" lol from what I remember he was at the top of his game at the time. Now where's your excuse?

Jinro got Ro4 when the competition is not as fierce. A Ro16 now for a foreiner is pronably more impressive. This has nothing to do with Kespa though.

Ah let me clarify, when you said this "There's always some excuse from you guys! It's freaking irritating to read."
I was responding as kespa fans making excuses in general.

About Flash not being in Code S yet beating DRG in the MLG online match. You say that Flash is top tier because he beat DRG in that match, yet you say what Code he is in does not matter. But him being in a certain Code is a direct result of him winning/losing matches. Why should the MLG online match have more weight than the GSL matches where Flash lost?

Also yea DRG was in a slump at that time.

I quote from here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=396378

"Many will be familiar with DongRaeGu's 'slump' that started after he won MLG Spring Championship last year. While he never fell out of Code S or could ever be called even an average player, he definitely dropped out of the top tier. Some will point out his OSL 2nd place run as a sign that he was still playing well, but there's another way to look at it. OSL was actually rock bottom for DRG, lower than his losses in the GSTL and GSL that prevented him from playing in his hometown of Busan. Rock bottom was going through a deceptively easy OSL bracket and making it to the final, only to be brutally destroyed by Rain in a series that vividly demonstrated he was no longer the player he was before."
