But Neeb has by far the biggest result any foreigner has ever done with his KesPa Cup win. That alone puts him at rank 5 over Scarlett imo because that win was just so massive. And 2016 was definitely not the least competitive year, 2010-2012 were way less competitive because KesPa players didn't switch over yet. | ||

I don't give a fuck how big the prize pool is. | ||

You can read the criteria here: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/482944-the-process-of-creating-the-top-15-greatest-list I don't give a fuck how big the prize pool is. No it's is not what? I said mounting, not has reserved his right and that does not take anything away from neeb's ever growing achievements. I don't know how you can just discard it so casually. He's still achieving at the highest level. Unless of course, your idea of context virtually makes it impossible for anyone post 2015 era to make you lists. Then i unhappily stand corrected. | ||

I say there's an ever growing case here, you say with absolution it isn't. Don't think think we'll get anywhere with it. | ||

And no going through an easy bracket in Kespa cup is not as big of an accomplishment as you make it out to be. | ||

But those guys have a list of notable results, Neeb probably deserves a top 15 spot, but top 5 is way too much. At least he is amongst the few active players, and in good form, so his rank can go up while we still have top koreans to make those tournaments GOAT worthy. | ||
