It's no surprise that Maru can win under the GSL planning format but can't win weekenders that test your underlying ability to endure a gauntlet of many different players with different styles. To me Stats has shown he can do both on his own. | ||

And yet, ever since Maru upset innovation in OSL 2013, I've wanted to see Maru win, even when they play. how he nonchalantly shakes his wrists after a win. how we watched a shy kid grow up. innovations peaks are prolly higher. but innovation and getting knocked out by an inferior protoss, name a more iconic duo. Maru is prolly the most feared player in any GSL. how many times has he made someone look like they didn't even belong in pro play? that's the basis of his 4-0 sweeps in under an hour of play. Maru is the best player, with inno a close second. | ||

In my view you simply can't ignore that fact. It's not a level playing field when he can draw on so many other full time resources for map planning, scouting and replicating opponents' builds, and working out patterns in their play.

To me Stats has shown he can do both on his own. Well, he was also destroying everyone in Proleague in an era when everyone good was in a teamhouse, while also winning OSL, SSL, achieving multiple GSL top4 and getting second in IEM Taipei only because he didnt close his depos against Life in 2 or 3 games (he should have won Taipei was the superior player there by far). So Maru would definitely be in the top 10 regardless of the 4 GSL wins in a row. That just puts him to the top, alongside Innovation. | ||

(But seriously tho I don't list every win cause there's just a lot for some, so I tend to focus on what I think were the most impressive, in which kind WCG as a kind of Blizzcon could have been it I guess, but for exemple Mvp also has an IEM and Zest as a Master Coliseum) | ||

Your effort is, in any of case, greatly appreciated. | ||

2.- Innovation. 3.- MVP 4.-Taeja. 5.-Zest After Life retired lvl went down a lot, now even foreigners defeat regularly koreans. Even Maru who was a second tier won 3 gsl. SC2 decadent begun that year =( | ||

This reasoning doesn't make sense. If the top 3 GOATs are Terrans then so be it. Personally, I think the top 3 GOATs are 2 terrans and a zerg (who shall not be named), but lacking that certain zerg, it's 3 terrans. I don't really see how you can make a case for Zest being greater than Mvp unless you put a huuuuuge value on longevity (even if it's longevity without top results). | ||
