Byun looked less convincing than TY and INno I'd say. And aLive played pretty fantastic throughout. But yeah I agree with your point, he's not leading the field like Mvp could do back in the day.

Yeah ByuN is still really good but look at him vs Stats compared to these finals. No comparison.

It's less about the number of tournaments or prize money than how dominant a player is. There was a point in time where MVP had no equal. Picking between Byun, Innovation, and TY seems a toss up based on the tournament.

That's because the lvl of competition back then was questionable at best compared to later Let's not pretend this is like Flash dominating 2010

Was TY that unconvincing though?

He should have been out after the series vs GuMiho.

Oh for sure this tournament Byun was worse. But it's only been a few months since Byun took all comers. I'm not counting him out yet.

It amuses me greatly that INno is proving me right about how he's a choker, despite so many people telling me otherwise last year.

oh yeah then I agree. Based on this tournament he didn't look as good but I'm pretty sure he's still a force to be reckoned with.

Gyeonggi was excusable, GSL because of nerves, but now Katowice too?
Three strikes and you're out.

ByuN is still really, really good don't get me wrong, but he doesn't have TY's TvP or Inno's TvZ and his TvT is awful.
TY has best TvP.
Inno has best TvZ.
Everyone's (TY, Inno, aLive, Gumiho even) TvT is pretty close.

Almost all of blizzcon was one sided series. The ro8 onwards here has been incredible with the exception of Dark-Serral

INno can only win vs people who choke worse than he does

I'd have been curious to see how far Serral could have gone had he avoided Z altogether, his vP seemed incredible and we didn't see his vT.

Because of this Terran dominance we didn't get to see much of their non TvT matchups. TY is obviously very good at TvP and TvT but innovation looked very good in TvZ.

?? TvT is super coinflippy. Just look at TY, winning two series 3-2. aLive won 3-2 and lost 2-3. Inno losing 2-3 after stomping Ryung 3-0 in no way proves he is a choker.

hard counter ? That's going a bit far I'd say. You don't have to expand and if you don't you can pull out enough units to deal with the push. Or at least I think so...
