Good stuff. Squirtle vs Soulkey is a forgotten classic from a great season that gets too much hate.

i remember that squirtle game where he held on far longer than he should have been able to against soulkey. godlike micro allowed him to fight to the bitter end. beautiful. watched the live stream, glad other people remember that shit. godlike even in defeat

my definition of kong might be a little different but i dont like calling anyone who has a few 2nd places a "kong". i feel like you have to be one of the best for a relevant amount of time and be considered one of the greatest while also placing many 2nd places. someone like soo getting 4 consecutive gsl finals (who eventually won a prem. tourney and is no longer a kong).

mkp was one of sc2s original kongs. i think squirtle peaked in skill similar to someone like MVPGenius
terrible, terrible, damage

This was a great read and a good content. Sadly, the number of comments gives a hint how much the TL community think about this point of view and even some administrators make fun of this topic (wave @ lichter, great job dude).

You can be a GSL champ and be a choker imo, just look at innovation. Who actually threw super hard in the ro8 SSL you're mentionning vs Byul. Not upgrading at all in game 5.

And the only moment when Inno didn't disappointed without playing a Kong in a final was the 1st WCS 2013. When a broken man outplayed him XXL in TvT.
Zest fanboy.
