How are you even alive :D
Have you already prepared enough sedatives?

It doesnt matter if I live or die due to to much hype. As long as Lee Shin Hyung lifts the trophy at the end


Imagine yourself dying few moments after seeing this.

If you survived then, you will survive even after Eo Yun Soo hoists the trophey.
Lee Shin Hyung will wait until Proleague 2015 finals.

And what part of that streak came before terran got from worst race to best race? and then go look taeja score while terran was the worst race...and still he wasnt considered the best... and was in fact considered overrated even tho every tournament was either taeja or protoss winning, and if taeja wasnt there, it was 2-3 protoss in top 4... all those incredible the bestests couldnt get even close to anything... losing to weaker players while playing just flat out bad (and still considered best)

and have no idea how can anyone claim maru to be better than taeja, he is not even close in skill... im quite sure that maru would lose to both zest and solar in those games at shenzen... watched plenty of his games, and he is just not that good...


I am actually getting dumber reading what you write. Maru not even close in skill to Taeja lolololol


Good luck with that... not one guy said anything that makes sense and makes it invalid... other than "derp derp, its kespa"

How about Maru not only being the most consistent but also best terran performer in PL and GSL this year?


So how about taeja not only being the most consistent terran in the whole world but also the best terran who won the most games and tournaments in the whole world... playing against same players that are in the final stages of gsl and among the best in PL every time... and he also did it while terran was severely underpowered! But because he didnt compete in gsl and pl, its all worthless... who cares that he won tournament(s) maru couldnt even qualify for... its more telling that he didnt qualify for 1 tournament he didnt even try to enter...

If i see maru play like taeja (you know, actual skill in game, not getting wins in "certain environment" that you value more than all other environments, no matter the actual skill), then ill gladly agree... so far what games ive seen from maru were mostly mediocre at best, with some good micro only

edit: and im more of a JD fan, and i dont think taeja is god or anything, he is just most skilled player in the world... as in pure skill! playing a lot of games in a day and adapting and outplaying all sorts of players and races without preparation! not the best in preparation type tournaments tho... and somewhat predictable, as he never cheeses and plays majority of his games same "straight up play" way... so he has some nemesis who beat him because of it, but i think its more proof of his skill, that he wins so much anyway (like beating zest in straight up play and even when he didnt even scout his allins, and still just outplayed him, causing zest to fall out of his comfort zone and start making mistakes, while taeja performed perfectly even in those situations)


It was discussed thousands of times after those years.
TaeJa has impeccable mechanics but lacks in preparation skill, because of it he shines in those weekend tournaments, regularly being top-4 or higher.

But calling him way better than Maru, meh. Maru has sick mechanics and incredible preparations + he had best Proleague coach last year.
And people need to finally realise that cheese is a part of game and if someone can't cheese well or react to it it's his problem.


Yea, but preparation is not exactly "being better"... its like saying classic is better than zest, rain, sOs and the rest because he did nothing but prepare for GSL and won it once! Yet noone considered him best protoss even at that time...
For me, the better player is the one that actually plays better, reacts better, is no flustered when things dont go their way... something most playing in korea lack... as zest showed... when taeja defended something that he shouldnt be able to defend, he started tilting and falling apart... making mistake after mistake... and that happened in all 3 games... as they play like robots... prepared stuff and while its going according to the plan, all is well, they are flawless, as they practiced it 10000 times... but if someone changes the "rules" with crazy good plays and stuff... they cant adapt! they rely too much on preparation! something you practice so much it becomes automatic... and then someone forces you to change the way you do it... it becomes awkward and hard, you barely can do it anymore
Or when maru encountered guy that was better prepared, and still tried same build in each game and lost each game he did it(think it was against classic too)... he played just flat out bad... classic was well prepared for that style and maru had absolutely nothing else to pull out of his hat and just lost...fancy micro, but did nothing... he had that prepared and he tried going head first through the wall without adapting... think it was 3 rax build every game... even casters were like "he is sticking with it even tho its not working... wish he mixed it up a bit"

Guess that and this season that ive watched him has etched into my memory... as those plays were just avg terran with 1 build and some micro! even think only game he won was cheese if i remember correctly (or was it against jaedong on blizzcon... no idea anymore)

And all that while taeja was pulling crazy impossible holds, cloak ghosts, sniping every observer on the map, totally demolishing zest! and week later i see flash playing, and he plays with ghosts and no cloak for 10 minutes losing every damn ghost he has to feedbacks and losing the game... hell, noone in korea used widow mines before buff... yet taeja used them every game against zergs and using them great

Its those little things... that make me say that taeja is by far the best... whole kespa scene played one way, didnt do too good, and terrans were considered worst race while taeja played his own way destroying everyone!

How does "best of rest" work if we have a foreigner that is truly one of the 10 best players?


The player would be on both. I'll admit to thinking that's never realistically going to happen, however.


That doesn't make sense tho. How can he be part of "the rest" when he's already part of the power rank ?


It's a nicer way to say "Foreigner ranking"


Not very important, but I think most people initially think of "best of the rest" as the global top (incl. Koreans) outside of 10.


Not at all, I assumed it was a foreigner ranking the moment I read the title.

I am a self admitted Huk hater, but he earned his spot IMO.

It could be said that his power rank position displays the utter weakness of the foreign scene at the moment, but I am not ready to admit that.

Huk simply has proven results lately, granted in large part through bracket luck but his position in the power rank has a lot of justification behind it.


Ehm Bracket luck ? Where would you say he got lucky with the brackets ? You could maybe argue that RedBull atlanta was not too hard of a tourney over all and that his WCS Ro16 group wasnt the hardest and his IEM Toronto Group stage was weaker overall than the other one, but still both his Ro16 group as Toronto bracket were incredibly stacked, ann even on the other had he got very unlucky for example at DH groupstage 3. A group with SoO,Classic and Leenock ? Looks much more like a GSL Ro16 group to me ( except HuK but thats the point ). Bottom line he was not particularly lucky i think. ( not so unlucky either ofc)


I was specifically referring to his Ro8 placing in WCS AM Season 3. Which is a much bigger accomplishment than any of his other tournament finishes this year, and most likely what put him on this Power Rank.

Group C was by far the weakest in terms of a second place finish. After Bomber, the rest of the members IMO wouldn't have advanced out of any of the other groups.

I am a self admitted Huk hater, but he earned his spot IMO.

It could be said that his power rank position displays the utter weakness of the foreign scene at the moment, but I am not ready to admit that.

Huk simply has proven results lately, granted in large part through bracket luck but his position in the power rank has a lot of justification behind it.


Ehm Bracket luck ? Where would you say he got lucky with the brackets ? You could maybe argue that RedBull atlanta was not too hard of a tourney over all and that his WCS Ro16 group wasnt the hardest and his IEM Toronto Group stage was weaker overall than the other one, but still both his Ro16 group as Toronto bracket were incredibly stacked, ann even on the other had he got very unlucky for example at DH groupstage 3. A group with SoO,Classic and Leenock ? Looks much more like a GSL Ro16 group to me ( except HuK but thats the point ). Bottom line he was not particularly lucky i think. ( not so unlucky either ofc)


I was specifically referring to his Ro8 placing in WCS AM Season 3. Which is a much bigger accomplishment than any of his other tournament finishes this year.

Group C was by far the weakest in terms of a second place finish. After Bomber, the rest of the members IMO wouldn't have advanced out of any of the other groups.


Totally unrelated to the discussion but... what's up with all your ktvindicare stuff and you got a Prime flair???


KT refers to my home World of Warcraft realm, Kel'Thuzad which I've been on since 2004. It doesn't refer to KT Rolster.

I never followed the Korean scene closely in Starcraft until I came to Starcraft 2 (Ironic since now that's mostly what I care about), which was after I began using KT in my screen names.

I've never had KT flair on TL.

I've alternated between IM flair and Prime flair since we've been able to use team flairs on TL.

My favorite KESPA team is actually Jin Air.

I'm pretty sure it was you and now you're just trolling me.
