I agree. ZerO came and sat with Free as the Ace, finally eclipsing him. And Soulkey did the same with ZerO. ZerO was always an amazing A-class player though.
It's interesting, this is actually one big broodwar name retiring that got placed in sc2, almost without comment.

;/ Yep. It pays to follow the scene all the way through. At the end of the day ZerO's prowess was in BW. That's not to say he didn't do well in PL when it turned to SC2 like the rest of the Stars, but his record could have been a lot better too if he didn't make so many ridiculous decisions. He had good advantages in several games and he threw it away. >_<
