Because he excels at the planed series and not the weekender type things. I don't think any other foreigner has the skillset, or at least to the extent major does. Don't get me wrong, I doubt he'll ever win one, but if some time traveling person came from the future and told me a foreigner won the GSL and would kill me unless I guessed which one, my guess would be Major. | ||

Neeb advancing to the round of 16 makes it the first time since 2011 that TWO foreigners have made it to the Ro16 together. If Special can win his matches tomorrow, it would be the first time a Code Ro16 had 3 foreigners. Special just has to beat the best (arguably) Zerg in the world to make foreigner history. | ||

He did it twice too, which means he must have a reason for it. Must work sometimes. | ||

Fair point. The big advantage I see for Neeb and Serral over Major is that both have had higher peaks, and are 5 years younger than Major, which is huge in progaming Major at age 25 isn't young - you could argue he's in the final stage of his career | ||

The other thing that can't be overstated when you talk about the GSL is you have to want to live in Korea for months if not years, and that's another thing Special is willing to do above most others. | ||

After all, Flash is still doing amazing in BW despite that being even more mechanically demanding than SC2 | ||
