If you don't build the Nexus but do some kind of delayed 4/5gate push (possibly with +1 as the forge is already there) he would just die to it instantly. | ||

I don't get why we should care about this run any top 30 korean would probably have a similar run considering how dominant they are showing in recent tourneys at EU like Assembly and IEM Stephano is just as good as the koreans. He got to the finals in Assembly to face polt, gsl world champion, only to get beat but showed he can fight and face the koreans. Its a impressive ladder run no matter how you look at it | ||

You can have 2 players with similar play styles and be completely different in skill. In what world does remind mean exact same? | ||

To be fair it was dumb of mana to leave his base open with no walls. | ||

He might be the best foreigner but he isn't in the top 25 players in the world IMO. That might even be generous of me. Plus his Assembly run wasn't exactly impressive.. Polt had by far the harder opposition. | ||

Probably because the first quoted post referenced both Flash and Jaedong. To say that those two players are similar because of their playstyles would just be incorrect. Plus the second sentence clearly states the opinion that he's the "best player at the moment". Which is arguable even without considering the Korean players. | ||

Don't even have to think about it too long. | ||

I would probably give him the benefit of the doubt, but he would have to compete and do well in GSL to prove it. And it's EU server...definitely a level above others, but not as competitive as the Korean server. Seriously, even Happy and Nerchio have around 85% win rates, and they get rolled by Koreans. | ||
