BUT Maru and sOs being better than all of KT is just a raw fact based on recent performances. I think it's obvious that JinAir has the stronger roster. I'm just saying that you shouldn't overrate Maru and sOs based on recent performances, given that they spent a lot of time flying around the world having their play styles exposed instead of practicing, while players like Flash and TY didn't have a chance to showcase their skills. Maru does well for three months after three years of middling performances and people think he's better than Flash? | ||

Are you sure about First still on IM and just moving to WCS EU? I'm under the impression that he left because he wasn't salaried and the team wasn't willing to pay for his expenses to WCS EU. Hirai wouldn't entirely leave a player out of a roster just because the player has to miss a few matches. I could be wrong though, but that's what he was telling other teams when he was shopping around. | ||

Well there's nothing confirmed but there are reports for first and yoda being spotted on the European ladder and since they're not in the roster it suggests that they're going to EU. For the sake of clarity here's the post that I heard it from http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1tipmo/spl_round_1_rosters/ce8dz0f | ||

I just can't (don't want to) believe that Yoda and First would both leave IM, as good as they are, with no other team interested in picking them up, to play WCS EU. It's all guesses to some extent at this point. | ||

His middling performances came with WOL. He is a top HoTS terran and Flash is still trying to be single player on Brutal. | ||

That doesn't necessarily make him a better player though, or he would have been the best player in the world after the last season of Proleague. As evidence by his post-PL results, that really was not the casew. Flash isn't bad, but nothing I've seen from him suggests that he'd even been capable of winning OSL or reaching multiple semi-finals against the kind of opposition Maru faced. Edit: Oh and he's been doing really well for 5-6 months, not 3. On December 24 2013 05:10 esdf wrote: I guess I'm just not too familiar with players in that case.

The few times I've seen Flash play in recent times he did not look good at all... Maru on the other hand has been one of the best (if not the best) terrans for pretty much all of HotS. | ||
