winning GSL doesnt automatically mean u are the best player in the world anyway. Being consistent in small tournaments is better than winning one big tournament

It's not weird, just wrong, after all the 2 actual best SC2 players haven't won a GSL either yet, only OSL.

I feel like Taeja can beat any of those players, maybe I'm wrong. I'm not claiming to be right about all this, it's just a feeling I have deep down in my Starcraft soul

Yes it's weird. I don't like him much, but I'll admit Taeja's a great player.

Greatest, though? No, because you wouldn't call Michael Jordan the greatest of all time without winning an NBA championship.

At the end of the day, if you do not win the championship of the most prestigious league, you don't have a claim to being the greatest.

He can beat anyone, but to consider a player the best of all without even winning WCS once is hard for me. Winning a lot o minor tourneys is not enough for me
