Basically, Flash only won because of Mvp. for the curious: this was MVP's best phase in Broodwar, he retired not so long afterwards and then came back for Wol. | ||

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. If you are the BEST player in the world for 3 months, and unbeatable during them, in toll you win 3 GSL's, in 2014-2015 you win 1. That's why more GSL's benefit you bud, not a bad argument. | ||

Winning one tournament has a higher probability than winning three. Lose one tournament and your time at the top gets cut short. With fewer tournaments, the length of time at the top stretches longer between seasons. With more tournaments, your number of potential wins increases. Like I said, pros and cons. | ||

Yeah I think its safe to say that MVP was easily the best BW player in the SC2 scene for almost 2years (before kespa switched to SC2). Sure there were players who were much more successful in their time that already switched (nada, boxer, july) but they played when BW was not as developed so if MVP had a time machine he would have rekt all of them in their prime. | ||

Boxer in his prime would have beaten MVP 99-0 in a best of 7 in Broodwar. Boxer took the current Broodwar meta and innovated with amazing control and harass that was unbelievable. Of course Boxer in his prime vs Boxer that played SC2 would have beaten the SC2 version just as bad at BW. Boxer still had some of the game sense, but wasn't near the player that he was in BW much like Nada...neither had near the ability left at their age once SC2 came around and neither focused like they did during BW. | ||

It is about the greatest player of all time which has to do with more than just results. So regardless if they played 9 GSLs back then and 3 now, the criteria is based on a lot more than just wins. | ||

Also the major thing I disagree with in the criteria is that it only considers the opponents the player has beaten during their runs and not the overall difficulty of the tournament. For example in the WCS 2012 world finals there played many strong players like herO, HerO, Rain, Curious, Roro, stephano but they all got eliminated before they could face parting. Is it partings fault that the "good" players got eliminated by other players? It's like saying germany can't be considered to be the best football team in the world because they didn't face spain at the world cup and so they had an easy path. | ||

Without the power of replays perhaps those innovative players would have lasted a little bit longer. | ||
