Uhh, not sure if you were in coma or just blind. Maru in 2015 won S2SL over Dream, finished in top4 in GSL S3, and was second in IEM Teipei. For example he advanced from group over Dark, sure his TvZ was a wreck. so, Maru has won 2 Premier Tournaments and was twice top 4 in GSL right? Tajea has won 11 Premier Tournaments and was twice top 4 in GSL. Where is the argument that Marus record is better? :\ | ||

Although a bunch of his games are in all-kill format where of course, these rules don't apply. If Maru had meh TvZ early-mid 2015, literally every terran had meh TvZ. Yes, this applies to Dream. No, his sets against Life don't automatically make him a TvZ god, just like Maru's sets against Life don't automatically make him a TvZ near-god. | ||

Anyway, if you just put raw numbers and do the math for HotS leagues only it's easy to see what the actual ranking is. God knows which criterias has he used. In my opinions it goes something like 1.) INnoVation 2.) Maru 3.) Zest 4.) soO 5.) sOs etc | ||

Leaving Life out of the top 3 is stupid enough but the top 5? LOL | ||

Where is the argument that Marus record is better? :\ Maru won two korean starleagues and finished a total of 8 times at least in the ro8. That alone is imo way more impressive than Taeja's 8 (in hots) 'premier' (lol at three hsc) title wins. It's actually a lot more impressive. Then add the proleague record for Maru and the high finishes in weekend tournaments and he is imo clearly above Taeja in Hots. I actually think Maru might be a contender for first place when i look at his results tbh. | ||

This is a bad TvZ Proleague record. It was his worst matchup in 2015. His biggest weakness in Proleague. And he didn't look inspiring playing it either, so I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here. Literally the only thing Maru was more meh at than handling TvZ was handling good mech Terrans. | ||

As far as Life goes hes been non-existant in 2013, he made ro4 in 14 S1 mostly due his zvz. Then he bum out in ro16 and didn't even make Code S in S3. He was doing great near the end of 14 (won GF and GSL) was probably #1 player during that time of 3-4 months and disappeared again. Thats more than half of HotS lifetime hes been doing horrible. | ||

What? He has a link to the criteria he based the list on in the foreword of all 3 parts of this list, so I'm not sure this is a case of him not being able to write over you not being able to read. | ||

I actually have, right after blizzcon + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8JWqw6E.png) I personally wasn't impressed by Life enough to put him top 5, but I wouldn't mind him being #3 just based on numbers. | ||

Possibly regular IEMs with particularly strong lineups. To add a bit more definition to the list. | ||

That aswell. Forgot to mention that xD Although for Proleague it's a bit harder than for individuals. I guess points for being top 1/top 5/top 10 player rankings? | ||

Don't forget Homestory cup! The only tournament, where the players have to show their strength in the most difficult conditions, face to face to the demon of alcohol! | ||

The most stacked HSC was the one PartinG won against Flash but even that one might not be good enough. Of course, if we only take tournament wins/top 4s of really high end events, PartinG will never reach a top 15 list in HotS which is unfortunate considering this. | ||
