And you are making a really small variable Yea I never said he was the best player in the world, just countering you saying that Solar and Hydra would beat every WCS EU and WCS AM player. No one is arguing with you, yes GSL players are the best, that's why I wake up at 4am to watch GSL. | ||

Although First lately isn't as good as he was when he was in Code S. Pigbaby is a "runner" too, but he made it to Code S. San, Hyun, Polt (maybe not recently), and probably ForGG would all at least make Code A I think. edit: also Trap may have lost in the ro32 but plenty of top players have done that once in a while, Trap also once made top 8 in Code S losing to his teammate and the champion Dear. And that was immediately after he lost in MLG to Polt and Naniwa I think. | ||

And the problem with the WCS system, in the main tournaments, is that it favors multi-day planning for Matches, within a specific Meta during the year. A player simply gets on a hot streak for a month and he's suddenly "best in the world!", yet he struggles the next time out. Yet, as we see time & again in weekend tournaments, those players that can prepare for 1 opponent best aren't necessarily as good as ones that just handle a huge set of matches better. Which is a different skill set, and both are different from the ProLeague skill set. The WCS's points for outside tournaments, however, does force players that want to a run at Blizzcon to attend those tournaments. Which is, frankly, the point of the system. If it's a sport, the entire point is to put on a show. We want the better players attending tournaments. It makes things a whole lot better. And we need more ShoutCrafts with the currently peaking Proleague players. DAMN was that a good tournament. | ||

(In korea, players who run to wcs am or eu is called 'runner') mc is wcs rainking 1?? Hydra who beat mc 2-0 is even code a. They should really make runners back to korea. Thats every koreans idea. It is moronic to not take advantage of the WCS system as it stands, rather than trying to slave away attempting to get noticed in a tournament that has far too few spots for the number of talented players in Korea. "Hey yeah you should come back to Korea and play in Code A where you earn less money". Why? That is the attitude of an amateur. A professional gamer will maximize his chances of making prizemoney during his career, if he is able to. | ||

I think of all the zergs left, Hydra probably has the weakest ZvT? I kind of agree actually, even thought Hydra is still scary good. I would have picked Impact, but after seeing his domination of Polt yesterday, it's a really hard choice. I think he will pick DRG though. | ||

I was thinking along much the same lines, Impact would've been my target as Terran until he rekted Polt....now....I'm not sure I like any choice....I mean I could target Polt again but that just makes me the target the rest of the day if I get through that match....I still think MMA will pick Impact though, he has been in the Axiom house with the guy before, with one life I thinks he sticks with what he knows. | ||

first of all i looked up his match history and there are no games from yesterday for some reason. but he played against jjakji like 25 weeks ago and this season he only has 8 games. it might be him because i got rekt pretty hard and i am masters normally only fooling around in diamond on na maybe i got trolled but i don't think so he was pretty serious that he is hydra, but who knows lots of trolls out there | ||
