This article is spot on. I think that the struggle most people would have naming the world's "best player" right now is a good metric for the fact that it is almost impossible to have a "best in the world" under most circumstances. Maybe at the height of Mvp's power, we could've said so.

there is no flash yet in sc2 .. and the real flash is still not doing well after the proleague and wcs season 2 .. and im still hoping for him to achieve better T_T

and i would say Dear would be the strongest player in the world .. even if jaedong took him out .. but come on ? it was no shame it was jaedong .. the kids too good in all games .. and he is working so hard to achieve that form .. and the dong also needs to win against Dear so that he could complete the kong cycle in wcs grand finals :p

It was impressive that duckdeok beat Innovation and went 2-3 against Maru but I wouldn't consider him overall good enough to put on the list just yet

I blame KadaverBB for that silver of Jaedong, he didn't let us post rainbow sheeps to give more power to The Tyrant.

How can you not mention Naniwa?! Didn't you see how he crushed Revival, easy 3-0. Very impressive series imo.

I like these periods of unpredictability and chaos, as long as they aren't the norm. Chaos is fun, shakes things up, but only in small doses.

People say sOs fell off in WCS Korea S2, but WCS Korea is INSANE. sOs was knocked out in the RO32 for losing a BO1 to Maru, the eventual champion, and a BO1 to soO, S3 runner-up. If you put sOs in America he probably would have won every season.

Very good read, JD has been playing really well lately, he just can't seem to close out the tournament.

I would argue that WCS Korea is the tournament that determines the best of the best, but even then, that tournament has a lot of quirky inconsistencies because it is more preparation based. Usually, the favorites such as SoulKey begin to fall shortly because of the VODS that display his style. I think SC2 needs more time to develop, so Blizzard can figure out if this chaotic scene is fitting or not.

BlizzCon should be viewed more as a World Cup that gathers players from all over the world. As for soccer these days, the best region is considered to be Europe, which acts like WCS Korea in some ways.
