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.

What you need to realize is that far from everyone think that the list of greatest players of all time is just a list of the players with most GSL wins from most least.
A great player is much more than that, which for example this article also explains quite well. Read it, it doesn't say MC is one of the best players ever because he wins GSL. Thats not the reason, seriously if you don't get it re-read the article.
I don't understand people that think players that play in foreign countries can't be as great as players that play in korea, simply because they don't play in korea. It doesn't matter how often that they demolish koreans from korea or GSL champions. Because they don't play in GSL they obviously can't be as good. You are the one with absurd logic, where you play or that happen to not participate in a certain tournament doesn't make you worse than players that play there. Especially not if the player in question demolish them at blizzcon.
