You act as if he's hit his skill ceiling, or that he's been able to put in the time like these other guys. He's the most sought out caster for large tournaments in the world, and is a lot better at articulating his thoughts than most people are. He also spends an unparalleled (excluding Artosis) amount of time compared to others at analyzing high level play. Seems like a fairly useless/inane statement considering all these things. | ||

He's a masters level player, same league as JP. He doesn't have any mind blowing ideas. I don't know why people put him up to this god status when he was no better than incontrol, tyler, sen, mondragon, ret or Idra at brood war and is far, far worse than all of them at Sc2. I think before you start bashing someone you read up fully on what you're talking about. First he is growing esports and to do that you help out the majority of the population which is gold and lower. Second of all he does in depth casts often enough. All those people you mentioned from BW he was equal ground with them and those were the best foreigners we had. We put him up to his god status because of everything he does for his community. You may not like him and that's ok but don't spread lies about him especially on this forum its bound to get ugly. | ||

you guys have no idea how much knowledge the korean bw commentators have about the game . being very good at the game should obviously mean that the person also has a lot of knowledge about the game but the rule need not apply for vice versa | ||

Knowledge of the game is definitely correlated, but your right in that it isn't the only thing. Also IdrA and others have much better mechanics and game sense. EDIT: Sounds rude but I'm just saying knowledge is the most important. | ||

He really is a great guy and personality.
The same ideas seem to be getting stale.
