Stuchiu's work usually is great, but thats by far his worst ive seen from him. Hopefully hes gonna improve in the next one | ||

His consistency in HotS was rather absurd. sOs had month long stretches in HotS with no top 8 performances. Maru just didn't. If he wasn't the most clutch player in SC2 history, the guy who wins when it matters, there'd be no reason for sOs to even be on the list. Maru has been the definition of inconsistency and if you think Maru is clutch you're the thing worth laughing about. | ||

Yes, clearly, "if Maru wasn't clutch, there'd be no reason for sOs to be on the list" is a sensible statement and you didn't fail at reading that at all. Also as much as I dislike Maru, calling him the definition of inconsistency is bullshit. He had a 1-year stretch in HotS where his lowest tournament finish was top 12. He finished top 4 in more Korean leagues than soO (and even won 2 of them). | ||

Hopefully hes gonna improve in the next one It's mostly you complaining tbh ^^ Not sure how i feel about the list, will be all about Taeja's placing in the end  Nah srsly, in my opinion stuchiu (and most people in general) overvalue the foreign tournaments a bit, i have explained multiple times why that is (tldr: the competition is significantly worse than in korea) but that's just how priorities work i guess. I also think that proleague should be a factor though. Other than that, excited for the last part to see how this plays out in the most important ranks :D | ||

He's a great writer w/ an incredible knowledge base from mounds of research. And these lists are very thought provoking at a minimum. Clearly, I have serious disagreements with much of this ranking and parts of the logic behind, as explained in more depth on the previous thread, but I highly doubt anyone here (possibly anywhere) has put in the amount of time researching each player over their entirety like Stuchiu has. Actually surprised Polt was only #10 here. Figured he might be on the top five borderline for this PR. | ||

Actually surprised Polt was only #10 here. Figured he might be on the top five borderline for this PR. Polt did some amazing things, but outside of WCS America, he just didn't win that many tournaments. But we'll forever have Captain America and finding a way to win in TvP during the Blink Era. As for sOs being #7, it's really a matter of the comparison to the players above him. Maru was always the Ace of Jin Air, even if sOs was their 2nd. And that's the proper relation between the two of them. $o$ showed up when it really counted, but if he hadn't figured out something special about current map pool, he was just a top 10 Protoss. When he'd figured something out, he could get to that "next level". He did some special stuff. | ||
