Sorry, but you're going to roundly mocked for that list for a long, long time. I didn't realize Blizzcon 2014 wasn't universally regarded as a competitive tournament. | ||

But that's not what you said. He beat Innovation and soO - the two most recent GSL finalists at the time, at Blizzcon. That means he beat the best players (or some of them) at the most highly regarded tournament of them all. Your argument falls there. If you only count when you win, I don't see the case you're making for MC being ahead of Taeja | ||

Liquid bias 100% you are clearly trying to subliminally grow support of the team and spite people with different opinions that are actually more objectively correct! | ||

Nice writeup, though. i think it reflects the general mood about where MC is at with his career. he made a few waves in korea, but struggled to really get anything done against current top koreans in 2015, and it doesn't seem likely imo that he's going to try to go back to EU or anything like that. compared to when taeja "started retiring" and he was still in good enough shape to destroy almost any player it just feels kinda different | ||

If you only count when you win, I don't see the case you're making for MC being ahead of Taeja That is not my argument. I worded my post poorly. But your interpretation (and perhaps stuchiu's) of it is literally absurd. Which should've led you to be more generous in your reading. Did you honestly think I was stating that a SC2 player can be counted among the greatest if they beat SOME of the best players in the world at ONE competitive tournament? Without winning said tournament? Even doing this multiple times doesn't even get you in the ball park. Look at the unofficial champion post. If that was what I meant, dozens of player could call themselves all time greats. Give me some credit. Putting Taeja near the top of any all time list is silly because he's never WON the type of tournament I described above. MC has. | ||
