Is this really that impressive? Anyone who uses their standard solid build that is this "pro" level should dominate ladder. Wasn't select at the top of all ladders for a very long time? I hope he has results at IPL too cuz then it will make more sense of this team drama for him.

That's the whole thing, he doesn't win with "standard solid build", he win with superior mecanics.

Yesterday, he decided to only make tier 1 units in all match up, and won like 10 games in a row.

It could give an advantage to his oponents in tourneys against players who prepare specific strategies, but it also shows very high potential.

BRAT_OK > like 95% of North American players. Its just people dont know how crazy/good he is

Because he's never made a splash in the international scene.

The people that matter know who bratok is and what he has done, thats all that needs to be said.

Point still stands.

You got no point, just because you pretty clueless about Brat_OK doesn't mean he isn't well known. Brat_OK has participated in every lan in Europe since BW and done very well.

Btw there is other countries in the world beside US that do alot of stuff in Esport you do realise that?

his point was that bratok is not well known on an international level. im sure if you asked any koreans about him as well as americans there would be just as much ignorance. the fact is he hasnt really won anything, and that's what it takes to get international acclaim. nobody is saying he is a bad player.

So his point was that Brat_OK is overrated because he's not well known on an international level? That makes absolutely no sense since we're talking about skill level, not e-fame. Every European pro, or anyone who follows the EU scene for that matter, recognize Brat_OK as a very skilled and scary terran. And now he's overrated because some people who knows shit about the scene don't know who he is? What?

And would say calling someone who gets very little recognition to begin with overrated equals calling him bad.

I think his point is Brat_OK would have been more well-known if he made splashes in various International events (it's called International for a reason)
And I don't think anyone think Brat_OK is overrated (since there's almost nothing to rate yet)

No I do think Brat_OK is overrated. That's my opinion and I'm entitled to it, my reasons for thinking that is because he's made little to no splash in the INTERNATIONAL scene. Idc what he does in European only tournaments or American only tournaments. Only care about tournaments that have people from around the world competing against each other because thats the only place that I think that people can rightfully prove themselves.

you cant prove that kind of stuff if youre not allowed to leave your country. I have no doubt in my mind that he wouldve done some serious damage at lots of MLGs if he just had had the chance to do so.

And I'll patiently wait till he sorts his constant VISA problems out and gets some international recognition. Not gonna persuade me otherwise.

been watching him play today for the first time, and can't say that I'm too impressed...

I mean yeah, he's obviously very good, but some people hyped here hyped him up to be godlike, and he's not

I have watched for weeks and this is literally the first times (2 in a row) that I have seen him lose. So maybe an off day. He is also facing only protoss and I find his ZvT to be his most impressive matchup

Yeah i went in expecting to see some amazing zerg based on all the hype.
Turns out yes he is a very good player, possibly top 3 EU zerg but to compare him to top koreans is just overhype.
