Is this the most dominant GSL run since Neatea's perfect tournament? | ||

Stuchiu probably would know this without checking, lol I would guess that's the case though and in a way more competitive era that is! | ||

His games are amazing to watch, i bet pretty much any protoss would have lost the first game today after going for that proxy. Zest still won. I am a little bit sorry for "being an annoying Zest fanboy" but sorry not sorry  On April 22 2016 23:03 IntoTheheart wrote: Silvana's banners are always really good. Totally agreed! Now i have high expectations for the finals banner :D | ||

Relative to their eras I'd put this above Nestea's run, below Mvp's August run and Inno's 2013 GSL S1 run (Yes i know he got 2nd, he also beat players #7-#3 on the way to the finals hard). If you want to include online there is also Taeja's IPL TAC 3. If you want to include over an extended period of time for over a 4 month period of time this isn't anything compared to Life (both 2012 and 2014/2015), Inno 2013, Zest 2014, Mvp 2011, Nestea 2011, Taeja 2013 or 2014. There are plenty of other players I can include in this category as well, those are just the first ones to pop up in my head. It's just not possible with the current system to have as strong a run unless you win both Starleagues. | ||

Taeja Ro8, Dear PvP Ro4 and now a teammate in finals. Only his win vs soO is noteworthy | ||

I don't mean the skill level btw, that would be extremely trivial, i am talking about professionalism and how hard it is to get to the top.

You always ignore proleague (while valuing Taeja's IPL TAC 3). Lvl of competetiveness isn't really valued either. But yeah sure Zest cannot go and win some weekend tournaments with lesser competition. He could win the cross finals though. He could do well in the next SSL/GSL and in proleague. | ||

It's not like this era is he most competitive era of SC2 ever. A lot of great/good players have fallen off or retired. | ||

Noone knows who really innovated, we simply see a player using it effectively in live games. For all we know Catz invented all the buildorders in sc2 and gave them to koreans over skype. | ||

I find competition fiercer back in the days than nowadays lol. Almost nobody is playing the game anymore in Korea. Maybe when every BW team switched to I think HotS? it was the hardest level of competition but LotV is not. | ||

In a starleague there are the best players in the world, every single season. The lvl of the player field is simply way, way higher than that of any Dreamhack or IEM. That's a factor as well, not only the road a player had to go in any given tournament. Your way of saying "he beat top 10 Z here and top 5 T there" misses that in GSL when an upset happens and a "worse player" beats "a better one" that usually means that the "worse player" simply prepared extremely well and played out of his mind. Starleagues are that competitive these days, almost anyone playing there actually has a chance of winning it. (there are still favorites ofc) You also don't answer my statement. Why do you ignore proleague for the most part but value Taeja's TAC3 run? It makes little sense to me. It may very well be that i undervalue it a bit, it still was in a less competitive time and a good part was online iirc.

Sure after Kespa switched and players had enough time to actually play the game it probably was more competitve. But i would argue that the difference to that isn't nearly as big as the difference from now to Wol. | ||

The only time I ever talk about Taeja's IPL TAC run is when the topic of best run ever done is brought up. Same players play in weekenders as they play in GSL. Not all of them, but a lot of them did in the past. But if you want to somehow say a 6-2 round in PL and a cross finals is somehow better than Blizcon, SSL Top 4, DH WInter 2nd, IEM 1st and Life's 5-4 in PL go ahead. | ||
