I guess you're also only counting players where that win was their first win? Because Mvp finished second in a GSL (to MMA) and later won (against Squirtle) but he'd already won before he finished second. Edit: Also while we're on the subject of history, soO now has the record for most second-place finishes in GSL tournaments (previously he was tied with MarineKing who finished second in GSL Open Season 2, GSL Code S 2011 January and GSL World Championship 2011). | ||

What happens if SoO gets second at Blizzcon? | ||

This is not true. soO went for a 1-1 roach build. Lair (to get out a fast roach speed) into double ranged upgrades and a roach warren. Additionally he cut zergling speed completely in the early game. There were no banelings or speedlings involved. This would have been a mass roach build, no zerglings or banelings involved. Indeed. The lair first (before warren !) is a... hint. | ||

 Jokes aside, I really wanted Soo to win, I like that guy so much and 4 consecutive GSL finals and all 4 being 2nd places... I wouldn't be able to live with it if I were him. Hope he doesn't give up nor go into a slump. Gogogo the Silver Surfer! | ||

JD also had multiple 2nd places and even finished Blizzcon in 2nd :/ I hope soO gets 1st if Jaedong gets knocked out of Blizzcon by Scarlett/Pigbaby/HerO (due to winning WCS AM). If JD stays in, I'm going to smash my Keyboard just to support him to get 1st! What you're saying is right but the big difference between JD and soO was 4 consecutive runner ups (6 if you count dreamhack and proleague) in the year. JD was second place across several tournaments in a span of about 5 months. | ||

Making it to the finals of assorted foreign tournaments multiple times is impressive, making it to four Code S finals four times in a row is insane. Jaedong was a huge fan favorite but no one thought he was the best Zerg in the world in 2013. soO almost certainly IS the best Zerg in the world in 2014, which makes his streak all the more amazing. | ||

Talk about revisionist history, plenty of people thought he was the best zerg, and coming second in that wcs finals thing they did after every tournament is arguably more impressive then coming second in gsl. | ||
