The Top 4 is already clear that it's going to include Taeja/MC/Life/Mvp I don't think any of TaeJa's championships counts as "Tier 1" by Stuchiu's standards - so it's possible that TaeJa won't be in top 5. | ||

Sure they do based on what he's counted so far from other players. both ro4 code S appearances 2013 WCS Season 2 finals 3-4th 2013 DH Bucharest 1st 2013 DH Winter 1st 2014 Blizzcon 3-4th 2014 IEM Shenzhen 1st 2014 IEM World Championship 3-4th 2014 DH Winter 3rd should all be tier-1. Especially since Rain's ro8-only, 4-day Hotsix cup is somehow a tier-1 event. | ||

Either this is a list made on peak performance or overall results. So far it has been the latter. Peak performances can't be as easily analyzed because patch player have really high peaks such as Puma before 1 1 1 patch. Polt's wiki page is ridiculous, the only one bigger is Taeja's, but it contains even less Korean tournaments. | ||

Nearing the age of 30, Nestea was already 5 years past the usual time when Korean BW players had given up the mouse. Players who had done more, who had shown more potential than him, had long given up. They told him he was too old, too slow, and his time was up. The smart choice would have been to move on, to let go. No one would have blamed him; in fact no one would have noticed. The only one who would have blamed Nestea was Nestea. And that was all it took and Nestea, completely incapable of giving up his dream, would take on the challenge one last time and the world would be his witness."

Plus Gainward could have been considered a high tier event. It was almost all played offline (top 32+ was offline) and for the time it was played it had pretty much all the good players. Only big omission was MC. Though Nestea's bracket in it was pretty easy. | ||

This ranking becomes more and more random(not in a negative way!) and I am looking forward to stuchiu's initial ranking (prior his research!)! | ||

Of course he put tons of research in it and I value his work of this rankings greatly. Random may be the wrong word and as I said I really don't mean it negatively! I don't know what word I need to describe it so I just put random in there. Please don't see it in a negative light, I've loved his readings so far. | ||

Like that ranking that showed HongUn in the Top 15 earlier - he's a footnote at most in SC2 history. | ||
