Cross Finals
Which is why I said "Not in the literal sense". It's a trophy. Just not from a big tournament

He will never be a Protoss Titan like Rain, Parting, sOs, Classic, herO and Zest. This is a sad fact but it's inescapable due to his age. | ||

If he wins 2-3 tournaments this year he can very well be on the level of Classic or PartinG | ||

Sure M2K recently beat him at Smash Conference/UGC (he played fucking nuuutttttss at UGC) and outplaced him at Genesis but tbh Smash conference and Genesis were more about the fact that Hbox had a fractured finger and literally had to change the way he played the game for a few months to compensate. Plus Hbox beat him in their last match at Tampa Never Sleeps. Also Hbox won like 16 billion tournaments in 2016 and M2k won like... 2. And neither of M2k's wins featured more than 2 gods iirc whereas Hbox won EVO and BOTFG | ||

Cuz I remember only few players accomplished that. I guess he can win this coming GSL if he wants to prove himself and we can start from there to dream more. | ||

So he has 8 chances to show he can still lift a "real" trophy. 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7 If you were counting GSL vs the World, that would be 8. If you were counting the current GSL (which Stats is still in) that would also be 8. Counting both makes 9. Those are all the events in 2017 WCS that Stats could win. | ||

I think the tournament number is 8 or 9 should not a big deal here, the question is he can win 2-3 of them or not. Most likely 1, 2-3 would be pretty surprising and would make him the best player around. | ||

We'll see, the best part is Koreans have more tournaments they can play than last year, but this also means players like Stats better prove themselves right now before it become more embarrassing. | ||

2 SSL 2 Afreeca Super cup 1 Korea vs the World 1 Blizzcon with the way stats has played he has to win at least 1-2 of those if he doesn't slump. | ||

So there are 10 tournaments in total which is more than sufficient to let any player improving his championship number. | ||

Who do people think will get through? Stats TY and Inno should have it. There's still Dark, soO, classic, sOs, aLive, byuN, ryung, maru, Zest etc and only a couple can get it. Gonna be so stacked by the end of the year. | ||
