A lot of things would probably be quite a bit different without all that hassle. Consistency was awarded here and Jim had more places to show it. Unfortunately there are no sympathy-points awarded in Starcraft2 in general. | ||

So that last should be Zest 0-1 to Rain, right? I think I saw the mistake, its a double 0-1 0-1 in PL. I must have glanced over it. Updated those stats. | ||

Reddit says the same thing and I don't get it. Taeja has always been controversial when it comes to rating him. For some gsl = everything. Snute and Bunny though? Those two seemed pretty clear cut to me. I was under the impression that Snute was widely considered the best foreigner and Bunny the best foreign Terran. HerO vs Polt was also an incredible final. | ||

Much of Taeja's success is against inferior competition. Innovation won a gsl. (That in itself is far more difficult than winning the tournaments that taeja won) MMA 2nd at blizzcon Bomber won the RBBG in very impressive fashion, defeating several solid Kespa players, including cure. Who at the time was in the semi-finals of the GSL who went on to lost to Innovation 4-3. Taeja's run at Blizzcon was far harder than MMA's. He also came much closer to beating Life. If MMA was in the lower bracket I doubt he would even reach ro4. | ||

I also think that leaving Flash off the runner-ups is likely due to his 2015 performance. In 2014 he had a better proleague record than Zest, won a very stacked tournament and got 2nd in another, and went 6-1 against the "top terran". He deserves to be mentioned alongside Innovation and Bomber. | ||

if consistency was the reason like for soo, surely innovation would be a better candidate than taeja, he may have stomped tournaments outside of korea, but you can hardly compare that to consistant performance in korea. | ||
