If he made a lot of researchs, he would not have written such a garbage top 15. When you make a top list that thousands will see, you got to be professional and unbias. He didnt cared at all about PL, probaly the most important league/tournament for koreans (with GSL), otherwise Life would not be #1. Ask the majority of people if they would put sOs in their top 5, the vast majority would say yes, probaly in their top 3, probably #1 even. Ask most people if they would put Taeja (even though I love him) above Inno, above sOs, above Zest even, most people would say no. The fact that a writer like stuchiu made a list that would be read by thousands and didnt even care to do it well and without bias is what makes me disappointed. If he had put Life #1, inno #2, sOs#3, i woudl have disagree, but it would make at least mroee sense. Now thats just bullshit I really shouldn't feed the troll, but here we go: You say Life shouldn't be number one because of his PL results (which you say is about the same lvl of importance as gsl). If that's your argument, why should sOs be number one (no most people would definitely not say that sOs should be number one) when he pretty much did the same in GSL? Where is your "consistency" here? It's also arguable that proleague results should have the same meaning as starleague results, but sure i simply took that as a given here (i agree that PL is important though) Stuchiu isn't biased, he simply chose priorities and made a list based on that. You can disagree with his method (i do so too to some extent) but all you really do is flame him for no apparent reason. If anything you are pretty "biased". | ||

For Taeja nothing is more important than whatever weekend tournaments he happens to be playing in at any given point in time. You CANNOT compare that to a KeSPA player who has fifty other priorities and isn't used to the stresses of flying around the world right before a big game or playing in front of a foreign audience. Note if you will how well Polt and MC - globe trotters themselves - match up against him, while players like Maru and Zest get blown right out. Extremely disappointing to see Korean starleagues held in such low regard. | ||

It actually isn't that close, herO did objectively better overall. Rain was worse than both herO and Zest, not accomplishing much other than a GSL Win, Hot6 win and a 2nd place OSL (which is obviously very impressive but it doesn’t compare to the results of hero and Zest posted above). soO never won a Korean individual league so he is below herO, Zest and Rain. Getting 4 2nd places in GSL is obviously very good, but the top players win tournaments. soO only won Kespa cup and did poorly in 2015 outside of Kespa Cup. I have Byul ranked 12, which isn’t particularly high and is certainly justified by his 3 2nd place finishes in GSL and SSL after Zerg was nerfed. Byul also peaked at the end of Heart of the Swarm which should be taken into account – the best players get better as the game goes on. Polt and Taeja are both at the bottom and really don’t even deserve to be mentioned next to the other players on the list. Polt gets the edge because he actually accomplished something in 2015 whereas Taeja faded into oblivion, but honestly they’re not good enough to argue about who’s better. | ||

HSC is not way equivalent to a Blizzcon. The winner of Blizzcon is the champion of the year - based on that sOs should at least be top 5 | ||

It doesn't really matter. You saying "... winning the most difficult tournament" when sOs did in fact not win a korean starleague and then place him at number one simply made me laugh. No, Blizzcon is not the hardest tournament to win. I would have to think a lot about my actual list though, maybe i do that in the next few days. | ||

Come back when you actually have an argument as to who deserves #1 | ||

On top of that, his win vs herO in IEM 100 000$ is really similar to a blizzcon, teh caliber there was really high and a winner takes all has soo much pressure. Because of that, hes ahead of Life. But the top 3 between Inno, life and sOs is debatable, the fact that sOs is not even in top 5 is unacceptable. And the fact that he didnt cared about PL is even more pathetic from a TL writer. But hey, call me troll if you want, just try to have better arguments at least  | ||

My top 5 is pretty similar. Mine is Life, Inno, Zest, soO, sOs and Taeja at 6 or 7 probably. | ||

Come back when you actually have an argument as to who deserves #1 I have an argument why sOs doesn't deserve number one, especially considering your reasoning. Life should be a good number one though, won starleagues, won weekend tournaments. Sure he did only okayish in PL but sOs did only ok (at best) in korean starleagues, which is arguably more important than PL. I don't see why me making a list is mandatory for arguing about yours. It simply isn't. On March 18 2016 12:43 Ensiferum8 wrote: because if we follow that logic, then sOs was stronger in blizzcon than Life (not by a lot granted, but 2 wins>1 win.

But hey, call me troll if you want, just try to have better arguments at least Blizzcon simply isn't that impressive to begin with, sure Blizzcon is Blizzard's way of building hype even for the casual fan, but objectively it isn't nearly as competetive as any korean starleague. HerO, Polt, Bomber and JD to win Blizzcon 2013? That's comparable to making the ro8 in GSL tbh. Sure, for the casual viewer it looks massive because all the attention is there, for the competition itself it's not that special. sOs doesn't belong in the top 3. (i agree that PL should count for something, that doesn't help sOs in this context though) On March 18 2016 12:45 Ensiferum8 wrote: actually, you are the one who sounds like a troll. Contesting every one that doesnt like stuchiu's feet and bringing aboslutely 0 argument...... I am "contesting" two, two guys who made sure to shit on stuchiu in every single thread of this article series. Zero argument? ok. At this point i wouldn't be surprised if you actually are the same person, a mod should maybe check this. | ||

But hey, call me troll if you want, just try to have better arguments at least I like that you rate sOs IEM win so high but at the same time TaeJas IEMs and DHs so low. Because the prize money at sOs IEM was higher? sOs opponents were probably easier then TaeJas opponents at IEM Shenzhen, DH winter or DH bucharest. | ||
