Making this thing made me realize most people use TL very differently than I do, the tournament and general section is always the first thing I look at, and I almost never look at the featured or community news, but vote amount triple when I made a new thread that was feature on community news. Anyhow if someone want to put this on reddit they would be an angel I know someone did it last week, never bad to bring more trafic to tl | ||

Subscribe to the thread and you will always have it handy. I don't even often look at the sidebar. I navigate straight to my subscribed threads. The sidebar (and other sections of TL) is only for finding new threads to subscribe to. | ||

Whenever this kind of discussion has happened in the past, it's been very close, so will be interesting to see the final order. soO GOAT, of course  | ||

Yes... lol. There's a button at the bottom to subscribe/unsubscribe. Then the button next to your inbox (the little folder icon) takes you to all your subscribed threads (you can also navigate to show your quoted posts from that same button). You also subscribe automatically to all your own threads and any thread you post in. Best part is that it tracks the last post you saw, and it tells you how many are new, and gives you a button to skip straight to the first unseen post. | ||

I voted for soO, but only for the meme value that could have been generated if he lost this in the finals and placed second. | ||

Stats has never been the best player in the world, or had a similar streak of dominance. I guess his streak from late 2016-2017 was great, but he was consistently #2 or #3. I don't think anyone's gonna say that Zest didn't have the highest peak of any protoss. He owned PvP and PvZ in HotS, as well as PvT in early LotV. Plus he's is the absolute GOAT in PvP and I don't think there's any argument against that. It's pretty rare for one player to be undisputed as the best in a particular matchup. Stats has been more consistant (always a contender from 2015-2019), but I do think recency bias is a factor here. | ||

He was the best player of 2014 (winning three korean cups puts him tied with Mvp, INno, and Maru for most in one year). He was also the best player for a portion of 2016, having the most dominant GSL run since NesTea. And he won over two different expansions (Stats was underrated in 2015 but didn't exactly win GSLs).

Stats may not have been the best player in the world at any point in his career but he has been the best player of his race for like 80% of the current expansion, including some of the darkest hours of Protoss when the likes of Zest, Classic or sOs completely dissapeared. Consistency, even at the highest level is an often overlooked virtue, so I'm gonna give Stats the edge here. | ||

If Stats had won either of the IEM finals maybe. | ||

He really wasn't - he was eliminated in the ro8 of both Katowice and GSL. 2nd - 2nd - 1st is a better record then 1st - ro8 - ro8 no matter how you look at it. But yeah Zest > Stats but they are very close. | ||

But yeah Zest > Stats but they are very close. INno won SSL right after as well, and generally looked like the best player in most events around that time. Plus he personally 4-0'd Stats in the IEM final, that's pretty big if you ask me. | ||
