Funny, when you think that still in this day and age it's pretty rare to see mainstream companies not affiliated with media and electronics to get into e-sports. Choo choo! gg no re | ||

When there is a Code S season every month to two months the 10th time qualifying tends to come a lot faster, and if you're at the top of the game in that period it's only natural you will keep qualifying. Parting has been a Code S contender since 2012, and as the competition has gotten insanely harder (as well as fewer Code S tournaments every year), he has managed to stay on top. Not shitting on what Nestea has done, the man won a Code S championship without dropping a map and made it into 10 in a row, but almost objectively speaking, Partings Nestea award was harder fought than his. He had to go through the KeSPA transition, and the HoTS transition, and all that with fewer tournaments. tl;dr: Parting is a fucking God of SC2. | ||

That makes a lot of sense, but it's not really a secret  and a reason why sometimes "wellness" "greatness" and other such nouns should mainly be taked aout in the context of times, cause without that, the newer great player is always beter that the older one even due to games and strategy's natural evoltion.Tl;dr You are 100% right, just my two cents  | ||

Parting performs well executed timing attacks as well as strong macro oriented builds from what I've seen of him, which is a lot. BECAUSE he has better micro, he needs less forcefields/units etc. which allows him to hit earlier and still win. But because of this, he has to micro his ass off. So he's seen as a gimmicky player. But as appearing in 10 consecutive GSLs obviously shows, he's also quite consistent(ly amazing). | ||
