In August Mvp 2-0'd the group of death (beating Polt and MC), then beat NesTea, HuK, July and TOP. Aside from HuK I don't see a player who was particularly weak at that point in time.

Take that, Prime. Haha, I just remembered that ST now has 2 GSL badges. was about to say that NSH has a gsl trophy and ST didn't, like pre-Life era. BTW: Polt won one as polt prime, it counts.
Prime doesn't have it anymore though ^_^ Polt took it with him when he left forever ago. I was saying NSH currently has a GSL trophy sitting in their practice house.

He definitely deserves credit for beating CoCa and LosirA, but you conveniently skipped over the fact that he got a def-win in what was otherwise the weakest Code S group anyway..

Did you watch them play? That season was probably the best they'd played (and have played, to this date) in their entire SC2 career.

Basically, you're saying he has to beat every good player in the tournament without playing a worse player to be the best?

Still... Give the guy some credit. 250k winnings, the most impressive zerg the first year (AT THE LEAST) of SC2 and relevancy for over 3 years in a game when he is around 30 IS INSANE. His prowess has been proven too many times. I have a comparison but i don't really want to get warned.

No, but he has to play actual top players to be the best.
And I was only refuting your previous point that "he beat everyone, including the other best players, therefore he's the best" which was very obviously inaccurate.
It's a very, very naive thing to believe that the champion of a tournament is always the best player in that tournament, even for that little period of time.

I am.
The only thing I was arguing to begin with, is that past the halfway point of 2011, he was no longer the best Zerg, or best player for that matter. I'd say he was easily 2nd, and top 5 respectively though.

You're assuming insane amounts of luck for him to win three different GSL tournaments and never once be the best player.
And your original point was that you wouldn't argue with someone who thought Nestea was good, which is ludicrous.

I think he was. I didn't think INnoVation was the best player before he won the season finals. It's a matter of how you think about those plateaus and who belongs at them..

And your original point was that you wouldn't argue with someone who thought Nestea was good, which is ludicrous.
Oh. He was the best player, at least in the 2nd Open Season, probably in May as well. In fact, like I said, I was only arguing that he stopped being the best player, and even best Zerg player, come mid-2011, and yes I include the July season into that which was extremely lucky for him in terms of opponents faced.
And yea that was poorly worded, but at the same time you should understand that NesTea is by far the single most overhyped player in SC2, even moreso than Liquid'HerO and that's saying a lot.
