Leenock lost almost no games against the best players n the world, Naniwa lost none against some of the best foriengers. If Naniwa had been a Korean that would be a fair point. He's not. He had the same training conditions as anyone else at Dallas and completely dominated them. | ||

And I guess we shouldn't talk about your own results, also not making it to the semis of open bracket. The only EG players (other than puma/huk/idra) that have any results to speak of are machine losing to nestea and maybe strifecro for making it pretty far in the loser's bracket. ofc there are a bunch of random circumstances that happen in brackets, resulting in misleading placements, but 5 TL vs 3 EG in top 32 speaks for itself. seriously, if you're going to make a point, at least back it up with facts instead of throwing out barely concealed ad-hominems at the writers and a supposed "rival team." hmm... maybe in MLG there were 5 TL vs 3 EG in top 32, but in NASL 2 the top 16 has 4 EG's vs 2 Liquids  (yupe, EG's Strongest roster: idrA, Huk, Puma, Demuslim Vs Sheth, Hero) also idrA might have been seeded 1#, but had to fight MC, Puma and Leenock (who eventually won MLG...), so finishing 8# against such strong opponents is no upset :/ | ||

When someone thought "hey my normal strategy won't work because he isn't using a normal strategy let me do something else" it was over and both times he was stopped and hard. So, he made it to two Ro4's because Blizzard made T OP and some people in Code S have no brains. Exaggerated, but true. Lol somebody is rewriting history. | ||

The opponents were MUCH weaker as MLG SCII was just getting off the ground, 4gates were still very powerful, and there were little to no koreans. Naniwa pretty much won for having the best 4 gate that weekend. This is completely different compared to Leenock's impressive domination of the best players in the world. Who WASN'T there? Clide maybe? Polt? I don't remember. The series against DRG alone was out of this world. The series that Leenock lost? I think you bring up fairly good points, but that doesn't really affect the definition of "dominance." Naniwa was absolutely dominant/untouchable in Dallas. Leenock was NOT untouchable in Providence. Obviously, Leenock proved himself to be the better player (and I believe I mentioned this in the post). He had the more impressive run, but not the more dominant one. What I think is a better argument is this: okay, so Naniwa was more dominant, but who cares? Leenock was better/more impressive. I think if I could go back and rewrite my section, I'd probably change the award to "Most Impressive Run," because I still think Naniwa's was more dominant, and yet in retrospect, that dominance means little compared to what happened during the rest of the pro circuit. Would that this desk were a time desk. | ||
