That's what happens when all you run the same opening blindly every game ^_^



Seems like he has almost no transition into mid to late game, and relies heavily on just out macroing/microing his opponents into the ground on ladder. His GSL games though look very different, with him having very distinct timings and transitions out of those timings.



Yeah I honestly think he's just practicing mechanics at this point and trying to trick people into thinking he only has one build.


If you were a progamer, would you be tricked that he only had one build? lmao

Who said he's the best player in the world? And besides, why would losing a single game decide that he's not the best player (assuming that he was, which he's not)? MVP and Nestea never lost a game?

Didn't take long for the herp brigade to come along and start acting like one match is proof of anything.

This isn't the Stephano thread before the rename. This thread doesn't claim that he's the best, it claims that he's one of the best. And from his cookie cutter builds on ladder alone, you can definitely see that.

I'm sorry but MVP, NesTea or MC would never lose to someone like Youngwha.

They've lost to worse toss players. Like Tails for example.

Since your referring to Bo1s

MVP would never lose to someone like Tails.
Nestea would never lose to someone like Tails Huk or Sc or Bbong Bbong.
MC will never lose to someone like noblesse or fenix.

Except they all did.
You look at winning percentages, quality of play, not take 1 random result and extrapolate it.

It's going to happen though, every time he wins people will be like OMFG BW players so gosu next bonjwa "BW is Coming", then whenever he loses a game, people that get pissed off by all the constant hyping will be quick to dismiss him in threads such as this

lol what? Yonghwa is one of the best protosses stuck in Code B unfortunately. He is fully capable of taking games out of all three you mentioned, he is even above MC in korean TLPD...

Well, according to korean TLPD Squirtle is higher than Oz, MC, Puzzle, Taeja, sC, GanZi, aLive, Polt and the subject of this thread, fOrGG.

Looking at TLPD only gives you a vague idea of who the best is, tbh.

And ZvZ is by far Nestea's best matchup.

forgg in a prepared match is much stronger than he is in random pickup games.
