Another rivalry I'd like to see in a post like this. Bomber & Scarlette. Every time those 2 play. The games are always butt-clenchers. I guess its not an official rivalry but every time i see those 2 in the same tournament I hope to see them end up in the same brackette. | ||

I feel this is being written ahead of the Power Ranks for HotS because Taeja is going to be placed "high" and TL is going to get a lot of backlash for it (because for some reason every time TL does it, everyone scream "TL bias") I love Taeja and Life and I think they both very much deserve to be ranked highly as part of the greatest players of all time. | ||

its implications for the legacy and the history of the scene was just as large. just doesn't feel right. I don't see Taeja as the third greatest player in sc2, which makes the rivalry a lot less about the big picture. I still like the article quite a bit because it still is a great sc2 history piece, i am probably one of the few readers who won't agree with your big statement though. | ||

The guy isn't even top 10 :/ Was a beast though on his prime thats for sure. he literally wasn't beaten by anyone except the hottest of the hottest current gsl pros when he was at his peaks. ffs he has an even-ish record against life post life becoming the monster he is known as today. he has positive winrecords vs probably more than 80% of the players that people would commonly place high in these rankings. | ||

Stuchiu probably means Revival vs ByuL in WCS AM, but that wasn't really a throw. ByuL committed to mass muta and Revival eventually got to a hydra/roach/infestor army (even though he had no income compared to ByuL) and forced ByuL to suicide on 9 spore crawlers | ||

Byul was so far ahead he could have just transitioned to roach hydra himself and stomp revival. but he just kept making mutas and suicided them. | ||
