I think if Maru had made finals, he wins the whole tournament. sOs said his strongest matchup was PvZ, so it wasn't that surprising to me Jaedong won. I'm also a bit upset people don't recognize that Jaedong is getting second place at increasingly more and more difficult tournaments . That's something to celebrate, not be sad about. | ||

Then its a good thing JD didn't win because he gimmicked his way to the finals by Roach Baneling all inning Maru all 3 games he won. | ||

I'm sitting in a bar with a few hardcore fans, and a bunch of new fans, everyone with busted brackets (except one guy that's never watched SC2 before - he randomly picked sOs, and wins $150). I'm not personally a fan of Jaedong. But look at what he represents for the community! A massive foreign fan favorite that's a Korean BW pro! He's awesome! He even has a really neat story arc! He gets foreigners (that aren't 8 year seasoned BW snobs) to root for Koreans! And coming in second just strengthens that story arc. I think you're just pissy cause you lost money to the newbie. | ||

I always try and remind myself of this. It's also 'but what if-' but seriously. Five finals in GREAT tournaments, and solid placements elsewhere. Can we at least call him most consistent player ever and give him an award for that? Cuz it's pretty cool. | ||

Imagine a world where every single tournament and game was won by the player favored to win, with no possibility of comeback or upsets. Now, how is that anything but predictable and boring. And if you guys constantly expect charismatic and fun players over "faceless" and supposedly dull players, SC2 just becomes WWE and the people who poured their hearts and souls into practice and studying the game are overshadowed by people who can speak English better or have funnier costumes. Just no. SC2 should be a celebration of skill and talent just as much as it is a scene of entertainment and fun, and if you feel a "faceless" player doesn't deserve a championship, you can just turn off the stream and not bleed your negativity into the LR thread. They think guys like Flash, Jaedong, certain foreigners should be winning the tournaments when most of the time. These guys are going in unmarked territory. Jaedong will win in time. When you have to play against two of the scariest protoss players out there today in two days time. That's a pretty big fucking problem to overcome. That's why I was saying even though he managed to beat Dear. I'm sure he doesn't want sHy. Why go from one big problem right to the next one? More power to ya if you can pull it off, but God Damn. I don't think anyone would want to run into these two guys back-to-back. It's like climbing K2 only to find out you only got half way there and you have to go back down again. Especially when the conditions can change on a dime. It's a Fool's Errand. | ||

He was going to throw the kitchen sink, but he had no creative plays for himself IMO that would be respected by the community By "community" you mean disgruntled Jaedong fans right? | ||

Dear is better than sOs skill-wise. But Dear decided to confront Jaedong with his skills, and barely lost. sOs is smarter, decided to take risk advantages like cannon rush and hidden base. Luckily for him, it paid and he's now the "best protoss" in the world. | ||

Does this mean ... there will be a new Power Rank that answers this question once and for all? | ||
