MC and DRG have won a lot of others things and don't need this achievement to have a great career, I'm not against keeping the standards for this achievement high. | ||

 DRG and MC are Triple Kongs (2nd in a premier tournament in KR/NA/EU). MC is one 2nd place in Korea away from being a double triple Kong.  | ||

Which is the criteria that the OP was originally using. Therefore he doesn't qualify. Sad to see no Protoss up there. But hardly a surprise since Protoss has never had a period of domination (see also: number of GSL titles). | ||

Edit: By that standard Life would be the only triple crown winner because all of his wins happened in 2012. I ask because in other sports (tennis, baseball, horse racing) I think it's a yearly and not career accomplishment and therefore triple crowns are more rare. It highlights a player who's absolutely dominant over a short time-span. SC2 is only a few years old, and in a few years time you would never see 4 triple crown winners in the other sports I mentioned. Maybe it can just be broken up into "Triple Crown" and "Career Triple Crown" | ||

Definitely no big deal to win a tournament with that soft of a player pool. + Show Spoiler + troll face Edit: On February 15 2013 01:38 Vul wrote: Shouldn't winning a triple crown mean doing this all in one year?
