but a player priding himself on consistency over long stretches of time and impeccable safe play in all situations to crash like that is both disappointing and worrying. I'm not trying to sound like a douchebag, but Rain isn't "priding himself on" all that. He's renown for it, maybe. But that sentence makes it sound like Rain was an overly confident douche and didn't back up in the end, whereas you probably meant that he didn't live up to the high public expectations. | ||

Yeah, I thought it was basically for those who did something notable while not making it in the regular top10, not especially foreigners... (although foreigners are notable for... well, not being korean) | ||

People need to read Zests entry. Results matter when you're talking about which players are better. This is coming from someone who thinks bomber plays shitty. But even I can't argue against his placements. Well, i think its funny how terrans are now crawling out of their holes everywhere, but when T was by far the worst race, Taeja dominated everyone(except pigbaby  ) and if i remember correctly, still wasnt 1st... no, Maru was still regarded as best terran, even tho he is nowhere near taeja in skill(at least before taeja went into hibernation)!Also, if you go far in gsl, suddenly you are regarded as god... but when those that went far in gsl get demolished by foreigners (true, stork, solar, zest, innovation, life in shenzen)... suddenly they are not the "best", but crappy players who got lucky... and foreigners (being taeja mostly) get underrated for being lucky or beating "bad" koreans! i even read the comment saying how bad shenzen was because there were no top koreans in it... even tho stork, innovation, life were in ro16, solar and zest in ro8 and true in semis in that GSL! who the hell are top koreans then? those that cant go far in gsl? but foreigner is bad because he never competed in gsl, and gsl is the top... but top gsl players are not actually the best when they lose to foreigners... Flash beats hush, terminator, guilty, symbol and that somehow turns into "best stretch by any player ever", just because he did it in korea and losing to MC, being outplayed by snute (until he chocked and tried to cheese quick 3rd win every game, guess he got overwhelmed with possibility he may beat "god" flash) are just disregarded, but hey... taeja just beat everyone whole damn summer except pigbaby... ha, bad taeja, in fact maru best terran in the world even after being mediocre at best for 2 months!!! is korean scene stronger than foreign? yes, but not as much as before... are all koreans better than foreigners? no, does beating 3rd grade korean players count for more than beating top foreigners + top koreans? no... does winning gsl count for more than winning everything else? absolutely not... and funny enough, kespa fanboys agree... but only when gsl guys get beaten by foreigners... otherwise, gsl is the only thing that matters... for them at least still think taeja is by far the best player in the world, when in good form and without problems... judging by his play alone (shenzen being the best argument for that... while terran was at the bottom, he played crazy games and did incredible things, even when on 3 bases against 5 base zerg, where he won every fight and ended the games with killing 100% more resources worth of troops than what he lost... and all that before buffs, not cheesing a single game) | ||

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... and couldnt handle himself if things dont go perfectly for him | ||

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