When your race winrates are on the rise but you are still losing left and right :D

When you try really hard but Nerchio is still the foreign hope.

How's your ZvP coming along?

It's terrible since 2010

Alright sounds great, first place confirmed.

Not that the skill level hasn't kept improving over time, but that was definitely the greatest quantity of talent.

Meaning the best players would have to be Life and INnoVation.



Ugh don't mention his name. Favorite player and had chance to be GOAT and then threw it all away for money.

Breaks my heart honestly, I can't even watch old games of his anymore.

But back to your point, definitely could make that argument.


Not really an argument to be fair, life is the greatest bar none.
Sure he lost some games on purpose, doesn't change the fact than when he won it was fair and square.

Life is also a bit overhyped tbh. He had a lot of mediocre results in korea, never did well in proleague. It's probably fair to distribute that to him not beign motivated but still.
But yeah that's me valuing weekend tournaments A LOT LESS than korean tournaments.


He won 3 Korean premiers, two of them being code S and 10 premiers total (2 MLG among the most stack of all time, 1 blizzcon, 1 blizzcup, 2 Code S, 2 IEM, 1 DH and IS2 reversing all kill DRG in the finals)

The only player with more tournament win is Taeja but 3 of them are Homestory cup and none a Korean premier

The only player with a comparative set of wins is mvp with 3 code S (2 of them beating MarineKong in finals) and one bullshit pin with less value than life blizzcon
His "blizzcon" win is him 4-3 Nestea
He didn't even have to beat a single Korean to win WCG
He won one IEM beting all the european patch zergs
His MLG win is the only tournament appart from code S that had value
Two Code S finals also

So yeah I don't see how someone can argue that life isn't #1 mvp is #2 for sure

Not every tournament is worth the same. Sometimes a ro4 finish in GSL is worth more than a tournament win for a weekend tournament. Sometimes a great proleague record could be worth the same/worth more. That's the point i am trying to make.


Sure but life has 4 top 4 in code S and that was during the most stacked period, when there were 3 Code S a year not the 8 code S mvp had in 2011 or the five he had in 2012 (Life first code S apparence was the GSL4 2012)
Few players come close

At the end of the year Zest/Inno/Byun/Maru might have a shot at being the best but I don't think they will TBF

Life cheesed his way into a GSL win and a Blizzcon final. Not like INnoVation, the best macro player of all time.

So yeah I don't see how someone can argue that life isn't #1 mvp is #2 for sure

Not every tournament is worth the same. Sometimes a ro4 finish in GSL is worth more than a tournament win for a weekend tournament. Sometimes a great proleague record could be worth the same/worth more. That's the point i am trying to make.


Sure but life has 4 top 4 in code S and that was during the most stacked period, when there were 3 Code S a year not the 8 code S mvp had in 2011 or the five he had in 2012 (Life first code S apparence was the GSL4 2012)
Few players come close

At the end of the year Zest/Inno/Byun/Maru might have a shot at being the best but I don't think they will TBF

Life cheesed his way into a GSL win and a Blizzcon final. Not like INnoVation, the best macro player of all time.


Inno is #1 in my heart, and that is the only place that matters

soulkey won the gsl and that's all that matters


Inno lost the gsl all by himself, soulkey just picked up the trophy
INnoVation is the absolute best | I wept for i knew his words to be true

Nah definitely most competitive level was 2013 when we had the Kespa invasion, and still all the pro players from esf and foreigners still around .


Not that the skill level hasn't kept improving over time, but that was definitely the greatest quantity of talent.

Meaning the best players would have to be Life and INnoVation.



Ugh don't mention his name. Favorite player and had chance to be GOAT and then threw it all away for money.

Breaks my heart honestly, I can't even watch old games of his anymore.

But back to your point, definitely could make that argument.


Not really an argument to be fair, life is the greatest bar none.
Sure he lost some games on purpose, doesn't change the fact than when he won it was fair and square.

Life is also a bit overhyped tbh. He had a lot of mediocre results in korea, never did well in proleague. It's probably fair to distribute that to him not beign motivated but still.
But yeah that's me valuing weekend tournaments A LOT LESS than korean tournaments.


He won 3 Korean premiers, two of them being code S and 10 premiers total (2 MLG among the most stack of all time, 1 blizzcon, 1 blizzcup, 2 Code S, 2 IEM, 1 DH and IS2 reversing all kill DRG in the finals)

The only player with more tournament win is Taeja but 3 of them are Homestory cup and none a Korean premier

The only player with a comparative set of wins is mvp with 3 code S (2 of them beating MarineKong in finals) and one bullshit pin with less value than life blizzcon
His "blizzcon" win is him 4-3 Nestea
He didn't even have to beat a single Korean to win WCG
He won one IEM beting all the european patch zergs
His MLG win is the only tournament appart from code S that had value
Two Code S finals also

So yeah I don't see how someone can argue that life isn't #1 mvp is #2 for sure

As i said i am not trying to state that there are players who absolutely are above him. I think the gap isn't as big (maybe even tiny) as people think it is though. There are some players who had similar results over the span of their careers imo.

Don't think even the Inno haters can argue that his mechanics aren't the best anyone has ever had. But whether he's the overall best is arguable.

He's been having a bad day since he won Kespa cup to be honest
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs
