I Hope he decides to take on GSL, as I think he would be able to surprise himself with how well he would do in his current form and continue to increase his momentum.

Not quite top 5 Zergs in the world. Top 5 foreigner though

he's in WCS EU so he can't really play in GSL, at least not in 2013. i don't know about top 5 zergs in the world either (Soulkey, Life, Leenock, Roro, Symbol, Losira... i don't know how you can say he's better than any of those), but he sure has been looking very good lately

well, he beat Life, so I can see how one could say he is better than one of those But top5 world is simply overrated when you look to Korea and see how many strong zergs there are in the GSL. Top5 foreigner sounds about right. I actually wonder, how many losses he has against foreigners these days. All I remember is him beating every foreigner and only getting stopped by Taeja/Mvp in the last bigger tournaments.
Gratz TL on top 3, and some more love for TLO. I dunno where to say that, but what with the TL rainbow logo right now? Something to do with what we heard at HSC? Whatever the reason, good initiative

He was making a somewhat sardonic joke, man. Protoss has typically under-performed when you're talking Bo5 or Bo7 - check out Liquid's wiki for GSL, for example. That is just the way it seems to be. I do not think you could even prove at this point whether that means anything as far as "balance". The tournament was awesome, and I think the best players won. Incontrol is a funny guy, just chuckle and move on.

if you hover your mouse over the logo it says "TL loves ESPORTS, equally". I don't know what they said at HSC but it seems like they are referring to the LGBT rainbow flag(s).

Well top 2/3 Zerg pretty much equals being a top5 foreigner
He won the last two meaningful matches vs Lucifron, won against Naniwa in WCS and Stephano. I don`t see five foreigners ranking above him, especially since many of the players that do dominate the EU ladder have demonstrated huge weaknesses in offline series.
