Pre-kespa switch it was much easier to dominate, easier yet if you played Terran during the gomTvT era. | ||

The greatness from Mvp doesn't just come from his dominance during the early era, but from his perseverance during the following. The guy couldn't feel his wrists and still could have (and should have) beaten life using the same strat seven times. Came back against Innovation and made life generally very difficult against anyone. Life is amazing, which is why he is second in all time greatness, but you couldn't write 8900 words on him. | ||

The only kind of unfairness is that there was 9 GSL seasons in 2011. NINE. Now there are 3. If you had a dominanting period you had way more chances of getting some valueable championships. But nothing we can do about it so it's whatever. Life will surpass Mvp in like a few months anyway | ||

Life will surpass Mvp in like a few months anyway More tournaments also means more chances to break your streak of dominance. There are pros and cons to both. What ifs are bad arguments. I could similarly say that Life's on and off form through his career suggests he would not have won more titles in a more frequent tournament circuit. Or he could have in equal measur. Again, a bad argument to make. | ||

Again, a bad argument to make. It'd be a bad argument if bad performances counted against you, Stuchiu is mostly just listing achivements, so its fine. Right now in korea we have a lot of tournaments so we'll get to see what happens with Life's consistency, he's also a bit older right, he was in middle school when he won GSL(LOL), again the field is much denser than when Mvp won anything. | ||

He has not significantly defined the Terran meta (since his style is his own). He can still become the greatest, being the youngest player on this list, but putting him ahead of any of the top 10 wouldn't be adequate. | ||
