so funny how people make absolutes based on a couple bo3s or even one.

Jinro didn't qualify season 1 or 2. Season 3, where he made his first top 4, he was dwarfed by a previous top 2 and then top 8 mkp. GSL january, where jinro made his 2nd top 4, he was dwarfed by mkp in ro4 and overshadowed by eventual winner mvp. Idk how you can say jinro was ever the top terran in the world. From gsl open season 2 to gsl jan, mkp was the best terran in the world. From gsl jan to april-may, mvp was the undisputed best terran in the world. Mvp's reign is a little shaky as of now but we'll see how that turns out.

You can argue that jinro was the best foreigner after 2 top 4s and an mlg win and easily the top foreign terran, but even now thorzain is the better pick for that spot.

IdrA has some foreign tournaments, so what. And no that would not make MMA the best Terran in the world, that would make him one of the best. Guess what? They're both in Code B. And DRG won the LG 3d Special League. That's a result. And in regards to MKP, he's not consistent at all. He's been knocked out in the Ro32 in every single Code S regular season save for January. NaDa, is consistent.

People need to stop bringing foreign tournaments into these as well. They don't matter to the Korean scene, that's why we have separate TLPD databases.

FD would have lost to oGsTOP on kulas, knocking him out in the Ro8 if they played after the ultra was fixed Go youtube it if you like, and play the scenario in a unit tester.

Unless you think better upgraded thors lose to ultras nowadays ;p

The thing is Jinro didn't beat anyone impressive, when it comes to top tier players he lost. Marineking, and MC. (MarineKing in Group stages and in Semis) I really hope MVP and MarineKing stop slumping.

I said at that time, who cars if he didn't qualify for 1 and 2 or how bad he's been doing lately. He won an MLG and made to top 4's in the toughest tournament in the world in two months.

Consistency. MVP went out in Ro16 in GSL3 and MKP went out in Ro8 in GSL Jan., two tourneys Jinro got top 4 in.

And? The bottom line is this: TOP shouldn't have gone Thors. He deserved to lose that game because he basically gave the game to FD the instant he made the decision to mass Thors. Dude had the game in the bag, but then he dropped the ball. All FD did was respond; he thought he was dead, saw the Thors, realized that he wasn't out of the game yet, then decided to exploit a bug that everyone was already aware of, including TOP. TOP basically snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with that one decision, and that's all there is to it.


I don't know about MVP (I haven't gotten the chance to watch his games yet), but I don't think MKP is slumping? His play is still top-notch. I mean, if you want to say he's slumping, he's "slumping" in the same way that MC "slumps" at times.

It still makes TOP a better player than Fruit. Already pretty much proved by recent results.

I honestly think Destiny has a really good shot at becoming top zerg... His play with infestors, its so revolutionary, when he beat bomber 2-1 in (some tournament, theres like 231023101231 now) it was like "omg jizz" and day9 had a great time casting. First match of bo3 was like 1hr long.

There are some players making the cut because of some Tastosis hype (read: Alicia) - overall a very interesting read. I really want CoCa to hit his stride and become what we all think he can.

P.S. your TLPD is messed on Losira - hard to be Nestea's apprentice with
(On the edit change the TLPD code that says P to a T
and you can even change the database with a #sc2-Korean )

Man, I still remember when MVP was just another good Korean terran, then suddenly OMG HE'S THE BEST EVAR for 2 months, and now with all the many, many top terrans in Korea his hype train has kinda run out of steam.

Basically I never really got over my first impression, never believed his reign would last, and am not sad that it hasn't. Was never really a fan tbh.
