I can say that it's hyperbole when I'm talking about this "GSL = 100x harder than dreamhack"-part in which he bases his poor attempt at math on. Could just be me, but I somehow doubt that Monster spent his time between the matches calculating the exact difficulty difference between GSL & DreamHack and calculating it to be an exact 100. Not 99,999999 times more difficult or 100,1 but exactly 100. | ||

He has been playing very well this season but last year he was 0-10 and couldn't even keep a Code A spot. "Numbers are about the past, not the present" -MouzThorZaiN Last year Parting,Maru,Squirtle were in Code B for the most time, while Ensnare was in Code S . Last year TOP was one of the strongest terrans in korea. Early last year Stephano wasn´t a top-10 foreigner. I don´t think last year is that important. | ||

Playing a game against an opponent that knows your own style better then you do can be very unnerving, and it requires a very disciplined mind to not let that affect you. Also, while the live audience is smaller, GSL is still seen as the most prestigious tournament and people will base your overall skill as a player according to how highly you've placed in one. | ||

1) x100 in korean is understood as "tons harder". Same saying. 2) He's the professional, and if I were him, I wouldn't care what TL thought. He's the professional, and it's his opinion, even if he genuinely meant 100 times harder. I've seen other pros, and don't seem to disagree that it is x100 harder. 3) So many retarded maths posts here... just don't. I for one hope Monster goes onto win something - he is obviously good enough for MVP to send him out - and I'm positive they must know a thing or two about sc2. | ||

This quote should be pasted on top of every LR thread. It just might reduce the number of statistics experts arguing about player skill. -_- | ||
