More WCS results (in the harder region) with fairly similar premier and major results. Maybe you can say some of Vortix's results were during BL/Infestor but that's all I can think of. | ||

“I had a dream.” - Stephano on why he used roach/hydra to defeat Polt It was against GanZi at Lone Star Clash 2, where Stephano and Polt didn't face each other (unfortunately I must say, I still remember the fantastic preview written by Fionn about their rivalry). By the way, the top 15 foreigners won a grand total of zero EPS Championship, that's a disgrace. No but seriously, everyone can argue about the places, etc but all of that was very well written, thanks again stuchiu. And of course seeing Stephano #1 pleases me, it's pretty hard to remember now because a lot of time passed and his last performances were pretty awful but he was completely insane in the first half of 2012. He started the year destroying Europe (SHOUTcraft, SCAN Invitational) and then consistently placed well in NA tournaments when there were a lot of them and when they were stacked (IPL, MLG) and ended with Alicia's slaughter at NASL 3. This exact period was for me Stephano's highest peak. | ||

But.... Justifying putting Scarlett above Sen by saying she's a championsship level player is just a fat lie. Ohyea she won that one NA only tournament... meanwhile Sen has actually always been able to contest Korean players, played in the GSL, had a bunch of top 3's, top 4's of the actual hardest tournaments at the time. That's what makes him championsship level, he can actually play a series. Scarlett is just a ladder hero that did well with massing Mutalisks... So I wouldn't call this list liquid bias at all, rather NA bias with Idra and Scarlett way too high.. saying that well they were the best of NA and then discarding the same arguments when it comes to Chinese and Taiwanese players just doesn't do it for me. And instead of feeling like a professional analysis of the situation, it instead feels like a public voting.. | ||

Okay, I understand thinking Sen > Scarlett, but saying it's because Sen could compete vs Koreans is the worst justification for it. Scarlett was/is kind of known for playing better vs Koreans than she usually did against foreigners. That's one thing you CANT use against Scarlett. | ||

 2. Snute's 2011 quote: LOL 3. sOs being top mental players. What is especially amazing is that he wasn't always this way (see WCS S1 Finals KR 2013 Finals v Innovation) | ||

I'm probably not very clear, but what I meant was that Sen has always been this way, for way longer and his massive experience allows him to play the mind games as well. He can play preparation style and the long lans. His high tournament finishes were bigger stake tournaments. When it counts, Sen is your guy. | ||
