Yah this is a soO situation where both community and the player himself seem to feel that these "tier 2's" don't fully count | ||

Whereas Trap has won 6 titles in a little over 6 months plus MLG Anaheim all these years ago, which means he now has more golds than silvers. | ||

Great perseverance by Trap though ! Both of them deserve a congratulation. I don't really care of what liquipedia says, considering the circumstances, I think it is fair to consider this tourney as a Premier one, the field and the prestige were here. | ||

I had forgotten until just now that ESL did not use the Katowice money to increase the prize pools of the season finals. Was looking forward to some more big prize pool international events. So dumb. | ||

Imagine Dark actually played today while having to play in the GSL tomorrow and act like that is NOT a handicap is just plain ignorant. First of all, expressing a doubt is different from being convinced of a certain, not proved, thing and whining accordingly. The "late hour disadvantage" has been widely discussed in the last year and half; I want to remind you that korean players themselves, when asked, didn't openly complain about tournaments running late. If I remember correctly some pro also added that 4/5 AM aren't that big of a deal(maybe Inno?). Adjusting the sleep schedule is a very possible thing unlike many here seem to think and even if korean players weren't already accustomed enough with playing at EU/NA timezones in the last decade, they could have had enough opportunities in recent times. Thus said, some tournaments ended in the early morning in Korea which is indeed annoying and should be avoided(as it has been afterwards) but the results of the said tournaments don't seem to indicate this issue majorly affected the outcomes. | ||

With those last two titles, Trap has already approached the vast group of the best Protoss of Sc2; however, the prestige of a Code S or of a World Championship is needed to truly be one of the greats and Trap himself is convinced of that(which, I'd say, it's even more important). If he keeps the current shape for another month the Code S title should not elude his grasp. | ||

Trap is now BY FAR the best protoss in SC2 history. Zest looked great too though, in my eyes the best he has ever been. But literally the way that Trap turned those games around... always finding a way and doing damage and sometimes yoloing it. Just great. Almost felt like the Maru of protoss | ||

Almost felt like the Maru of protoss Most dominant run a Protoss ever had for sure. Every single other great streak was done by Zerg or Terran(2011 Mvp,2012 Life, 2014 Life, 2017 Rogue, 2018 Maru and Serral). | ||

I'd love to have a pro breaking it up to me | ||

Especially since he's literally the only Protoss to win a premier tournament in 2020 or 2021 (except Dreamhack NA, which, let's be real, is not a premier tournament). | ||

So making sweeping statements about "only X can take down Y" isn't justified at all. | ||
