(Maru is the only one non-Kespa that won after the full switch). All those players did not do that well in Korea and this is why they travel outside where they don't even need to qualify. They are just invited. Look at Taeja, he tried to qualified for IEM Toronto and Kespa Cup and he failed in the first rounds. It's not easy to qualify in Korea. Life also end up in Code B in 2014.. It was much easier for MVP to be dominant, when the game was fresh and the most experienced RTS players were still playing BW. Since Zest and SoO didn't qualify for SSL does that mean that they are bad players? Tons of great players didn't qualify for KeSPA cup. Also Taeja didn't even attempt to qualify for IEM Toronto since he was already invited. | ||

MC got no chance to take the throne. He's not only the weakest link of these 4, he's also the weakest player to be considered a top Korean. Zest or soO will probably win hella lot of stuff in 2015, depending on who balance favors. Taeja will perform regardless of balance. | ||

I think herO will replace Zest as the best protoss now that the game is less protoss-dominated, a large part of Zest's success was his ability to almost always win PvP, while herO is great in other matchups and just ok at PvP. Players who are weakest at their mirror (like Taeja) always do best when their race is at its worst. | ||
