EPTbut remember one thing guys: not every playstyle which is strong on the ladder is strong in tournament play. with a onebasing style it is quite easy to surprise and overwhelm ppl on the ladder, but it wont get u far in tournaments if u are worse in longer macro games...

he abused the MMR and bonus pool to get to that rank. he started low with a very high bonus pool, and earned points faster than his MMR could catch up with him. he got to that rating by beating players of a lower skill level. only recently has his MMR caught up with his actual skill level, which i don't believe to be too high (compared to what his rating should suggest) I saw him play TLO yesterday on jungle basin. hate to say it, but that game, TLO was playing like someone straight outta platinum league. he was doing some no-econ one base roach slow expand into losing the expansion almost immediately and then transitioning into banelings, and it took meatyowllegs/naniwa an embarrassingly long time to beat it. i play against protoss players on ladder who could have crushed TLO faster and more decisively than meatyowllegs did that game. it doesn't really matter, though. his rating will fall as his MMR gets higher and he loses more games. and the ladder resets any day now. | ||

Since points across divisions aren't the same the "masters" is the true reflection of how many points he has. He's good, he's number 1 but he's not at 4k points. Yeah, sorry perhaps I was a little bit harsh. But it really bothers me that someone can get away with this and make it seem as if he earned 4000 points already. | ||

Get away with what? You make it sound like he's committed something bad, when all we actually know is he has 4000 points with an account. You are hating on the guy for no reason... | ||
