I think you're underestimating how incredibly strong Nestea was. Sure, the meta favored him, sure, people were worse back then, but he completely dominated the scene for almost a year. He went undefeated through an entire GSL.

During the year Nestea dominated, the meta did not favor Zerg.

I very much disagree with sOs above PartinG, but you are entitled to your opinion. Also, it's amazing to be able to read all of these descriptions and get nostalgia of the last 4-5 years of watching sc2

You should state Partings 14 or 15th GSL Code S. No one has ever stay so consistent for so long. Parting invented the 1 gate into 3 bases 8 gate PvT build in WOL which crushes most Terrans. FInally Parting was robbed of his win against MKP in the Startale v Prime GSTL finals.


Because consistent 'above average' performances aren't enough to raise someone to GOAT level. How many times did he make it to the round of 4, let alone the finals? IMO, purely being in Code S consistently isn't enough to displace people with less consistency but much higher peaks

The scary rounds with Mvp were always the ro32's.

Her0 Just won ssL last night, and you still want to send him away.. geez

It was KeSPA Cup, not SSL, and his first Korean premier win.


Alongside, to be fair, 3 IEM championships, an IEM WC 2nd place, a GSL semifinals and a 2nd place in the previous KeSPA Cup.

You are all right, I meant if both heros are on the 20 spot, jd should not be considered at all, I wrote way behind instead of way ahead

An easy guide to Protoss all-ins in the vein of Parting:

1. Pick 2 units.
2. Exhaustively test variants of 1-gate FE until you find one that gets an approximate fuck-ton of both said units.
3. Collect money directly from the tears of your vanquished opponents.

Okay, Stuchiu, you were feeling too guilty about parting after all? very cool read as always (only read 25% yet though) just something to fix in the Parting article in the end : texts are upon each other making the last 3 lines unreadable.

Just a technical question though (that might explain the parting issue) : why is WCS world 2012 a tier 2 event when WCS 2012 KR was tier 1, WCS world were kind of the equivalent of Blizzcon and even if foreigners where just there to be stomped by the KR protosses, it was still one the biggest event of 2012, wasn't it?


Because it followed the same format as WCG. WCG KR in terms of competition is much harder than WCG World. WCS 2012 (the finals) also had massive problems with sound, production, and had a lower tier of competition to even WCS Asia. For me prestige is the amount of recognition and respect that is given to a tournament based on multiple factors: (Production value, hype leading into the event, player competition, player conditions, etc.) WCS World Finals did worse on all fronts compared to WCS KR (and WCS EU).

I couldn't in good consciousness bump it up when I had already graded WCG Finals the same way.

While I don't fully agree with 19-16, I do appreciate the write up!

Jw: since this was written probably before and during KeSPA cup, would your view on herO's place change? I'm not saying that you're wrong and I'm right. Just asking where you would rank herO, now. Or would it be the same?


herO went up, but not unequivocally over players like Jaedong, Hyun and HerO who have a massive amount of runs over the years (or in Jaedong's case multiple 2nd places in important tier 1 events).



Okay I see (because of time zones I couldn't watch WCS world live so I wasn't aware of the sound issues)

Still it feels strange that the qualifier of a qualifier of an event is rated higher than the event itself (iirc the wcs kr were not that stacked with a lot of good zerg missing?)

and technical issues... wouldn't it make Blizzcon 2014 a tier 3 event?

Anyway, thx for your answer, actually I don't care taht much about the ranks, the quality of the articles is the real thing in your work - and this quality is top tier

How outdated is this list? Since Parting is described as clear top protoss in 2015? ^^

"Even just in terms of units, the only player that can claim to have better unit micro on any one unit is Trap for Oracles."
Also i disagree with this. herO has as good blinker micro as Parting. He defeated all his opponents in IEM with blink micro alone. Everyone knew it was coming and yet herO just outblinked them

"(Incidentally, the mantle has yet to be passed on as Life and soO have yet to meet since Life’s return to #1)"

A coincidence that they would meet right after posting this article.
