If he falls off now, people will say he has been broken, make Kong jokes and so on. But anything other than winning a GSL (or something comparable) in the near future will be regarded as falling off. He should retire while being in the spotlight. | ||

Both years he made 6 semi-finals before Blizzcon. This year he won 2, and got stuck at semi's 4 times. Last year he got second 5 times, which is about equal. The competition wasn't very different, either (besides his first miracle run in WCS Season 2). He had a 54.3% win-rate against offline Korean competition and everyone was excited to see him. This year he's at 52.7% and suddenly he doesn't deserve to be there, while making the finals with his 54.3% last time. If he makes it this year, I won't be surprised if he makes it to Ro8/Ro4 again. I know Snute is a foreigner and I'd absolutely love to see him there too, but he got the points the same way Jaedong did. Same for Naniwa last year, or even Taeja this year. Fact is, Taeja was better than Jaedong at many of those tournaments, but Jaedong was better than many other people. I love Mvp, but I feel Jaedong has more right to a spot than Mvp had last year, as Mvp basically dropped off completely after an amazing first season. But that's how a yearly point system works. Don't hate the player, hate the game. But on-topic: The final game was really well played from both sides, which I'm glad I got to watch. Congrats Innovation for winning, and for having an amazing shot at reaching Blizzcon now. Poor soO, he really deserves a win by now. He's kind of like Taeja in GSL, who during his prime had his absolute solidness carry him very far, but then never being able to bring that little extra in the final stages. I hope for his sake he ends up anywhere but second at Blizzcon, that would just be crushing. naniwa totally deserved his blizzcon spot last year... he performed very well at the season 2 finals and got top2/top4 in several tournaments | ||

Can't really argue with his GSL runs though, hopefully he can regroup mentally for Blizzcon. Speaking of said event, despite feeling horrible for soO I do think a Blizzcon without a resurgent Inno would have been lacking something | ||

All we can say is that the current line of T korean champions is pretty crazy : Mvp, Maru, INno. and hopefully Flash is the next  | ||

Overall stats, achievements/titles, years of relevence... 7 and 6 titles for MMA and Polt respectively along with their longevity puts them over those guys in ranking the greatest. I don't feel like there is a debate here. And it's no shade on Inno or especially Maru who is super young. They are the better players now but they haven't done enough to be put over MMA and Polt on a greatest list. Inno winning this GSL doesn't suddenly throw him above these guys to me. | ||

Cue "Who's Line is it Anyway" where the points don't matter. | ||
