There's a terran that just got the best record in proleague, the toughest teamleague in the world that has a large number of games. And there's a terran has just won a weekend tourney, dreamhack, which only had about 10 good players only. I hate calling certain player best after a little weekend tourney in which most of the world's best players weren't present, but which of the 3 deserves more of the title? Not saying these are the only 3 that should be on the list. I hate circle jerking, or in this case 'self jerking'. That's a pretty poor summation of what those players have done. TaeJa has done way more than just win Dreamhack recently. | ||

Not to mention that Taeja used to be the best terran in the world, except for a decline due to wrist issues, so he is given the benefit of the doubt. I think it's obvious that if Taeja can practice properly he will be at the top. | ||

What's more than the best record in the toughest teamleague, Proleague? What's Taeja's record in Proleague, 50%? What's better than a recent Code S champ plus currently ro8? What's better than the highest WCS points without opportunity to earn extra points in foreign tournies? | ||

Last terran to win Code S was Mvp in 2012. :p I'm not even sure who you're referring to in the last paragraph, Bomber? Anyways, it's silly to view individual tournaments in this way. You're the one putting a lot of weight on specific tournaments, such as this Dreamhack, or the OSL, the rest of us are viewing results as a gestalt, looking not only at multiple tournaments, but also consistency, relative level of play, and so forth. You're right about one thing though: There's no clear best in the world. This interview is very tongue in cheek. | ||

Now look at which teams have the biggest fan-bases. You have your answer now. Everyone in the community is biased to some degree. | ||

Everyone in the community is biased to some degree. I don't think it takes much bias at all to view Taeja is the best Terran in the world, the complaining about him seems much more related to people wanting to be contrarian than anything substantive. He's put up excellent results at every recent tournament he's been at, which is something none of the other top Terrans can claim. The reason people are talking about him as #1 is because he was very close to being #1 prior to Dreamhack and also because Bomber crashed and burned in the Code S Ro32. | ||

Come on, bring Flash's so called GODLY proleague stats and lets see if it counts towards Blizzcon  Your post reads like a poorly thought out bait, I don't see how Flash even comes into it. It's more about Taeja disrespecting zerg/protoss pros by saying his race is 'so bad' after winning DH. As to your random jibe. Flash was the proleague MVP ahead of an in-form Innovation, which sadly doesnt count for Blizzcon, but at least Flash didn't run to NA for easy points. | ||
