Nah but I mean, can you name without bias another Zerg who changed the meta all by himself in two MUs? Who found the way to be successful mostly via strats and not via stellar macro like soO or micro like Life in a time where Zergs were weak? well, you have to remember though how stellar Stephano's micro was Stephano was one of the best at setting up engagements to go along with your point That's why Polt vs Stephano matches were so good. That game on Metalopolis. I want Polt vs Stephano back TT best rivalry in 2012 MKP vs DRG was just as good. Polt vs Stephano was over a longer time span though. MKP vs DRG was sick though. MKP vs DRG had the added bonus of being the two best players in the world at the time going at it back and forth in consecutive tournaments Polt vs Stephano had the Foreigner vs Korean edge as well and was incredibly close. We can agree both were good though
maybe I'm biased but it always seemed to me like Polt crushed him or self destructed lmao. ASUS ROG was a stomp

That was more 2011 rivalry though. I agree that it was better overall though.

I want Polt vs Stephano back TT best rivalry in 2012 MKP vs DRG was just as good. it was so short though since MKP fell off a cliff around April with the queen patch + never adapting his playstyle so everyone just roach baned him for free wins He still did well in MLG summer being knocked out by a protoss so no queen patch excuse
I meant mostly for his tvz but yeah he didnt stay at the top but his TvZ went from top 3 to bottom 3 very quickly because zergs could either survive the greedy openings or just free win mkp with roach bane. People caught up to him in other matchups

GumBa specified 2012 so that's why I didn't bring that one up

They are quite close in scores and produced some pretty epic games imo. But maybe I have a different perspective cause I loved it when those two met.

He also gets way more fan hype based on his legacy for lesser results than most players in sc2. It goes both ways. That particular fact is why I usually cheer against him It kind of weirds me out that your feelings for a player are affected by his fans haha I am extremely indiffrent towards Jaedong btw he is before my time. He wins a game: "THE TYRANT IS BACK FGHSUAJKLJ" He loses a game: "I hope his condition is okay the tyrant shall return he must be tired etc" It goes on and on and gets annoying. Leenock for example has done way more in sc2 but gets not nearly the credit Still not JD's fault though mhmm...which is why I don't hate him as a person, I just want him to lose so I don't have to read the overhyped tyrant is back messages with dancing sheep How do you feel about Flash? Flash has waaay more anti fans. Yeah I agree. It never really felt like Flash had that many fans beside the very beginning when he first switched just because of the hype. There are plenty of other players with bigger and louder fan bases these days but Flash still gets a lot of hate Hate out of ignorance, that is what it is. People just don't want to know anything about the history of the game. For me, as a bw fan, it is always sad, if they only knew they would understand. If they knew he was really good in another game they'd cheer for him now? Success breeds fans, but it also breeds resentment if you dominate for so long and that resentment comes out as anti fans when you aren't nearly as good in the future, as he is now in sc2.
Flash has been declared to be the symbol of BW elitist since the elephant article unloaded that crap upon us. As one who didn't hate SC2 back then it is really hard to not feel at least some justice when Flash loses, even if you don't dislike him.

The Lone Star Clash 1 final was a beauty.

I liked DRG vs MKP as a mechanical battle but Polt vs Stephano was a battle of creativity and who could out-think the other.

I liked it when Polt won haha idk I'm probably just having a super biased/jaded view of the past. Their record was certainly close
