Going back to BW's OSL and MSL, Jaedong now has 7 straight silvers after his last gold.

Painful to watch a BW god lose 0-4 a man i respect so much for his hard work and utter focus, to not just gaming but to be the best at it. May your anger for this silly kong line fuel you, for you are a champion and the the tyrant cometh. Mark these words.

the way he systematically obliterated his JvP weakness makes me hopeful for a vT solution for the Dong, but at the same time he certainly isn't he only one having a hard time in the ZvT matchup. something tells me we're either going to need blizzard intervention or a true revolutionist to come along to turn the matchup on its head.

Damn I completely agree. Many other games come close, but what I remember about these games are

1. Battlecruisers in Archon Toilet
2. Medivac picking/dropping bio vs. mech, just the nonstop action
3. Broodlords pushed MMA back into his main on Shakuras, but his eventually held with his micro

I'm not surprised in the slightest; I was here when beat Mvp to win Code A, and I'm a Bomber fan. I still don't think his triple crown is legitimate.

I don't think that winning WCG in 2011 was easier than Code A and yet it counts as Korean title (probably...). It also means that Mvp his korean premier titles for like three more Triple Crowns.

Honestly it's very sad that Code A never had the prestige or prize pool that its skill level deserved, considering it was the 2nd hardest tournament in the world. It might be hard for some of the newer fans to understand, especially since nowadays Code S is absolutely stacked with talent, but back then it had some very weak players that only stuck around because of a defective system, whereas Code A was arguably much more cut-throat.

So if skill is all we're considering, it's pretty dubious to call the MLGs and DreamHacks of 2011 "premier tournaments" but not Code A. (with the exception of MLG Providence I guess) I mean don't get me wrong, they were great events, but let's be honest here, Code A was pretty fucking stacked. Let's not forget how our foreigner heroes fared in Code A in 2011. Hell, let's not forget that some of the biggest SC2 legends faltered repeatedly in Code A only to win their Code S spots by stomping through MLG and then go on to achieve massive success.

As for WCG Korea, I'd say it was probably between Code A and Code S at the time, since it had some fairly weak players but also Mvp, MarineKing, GanZi.
