Yellow did win tournaments. But no starleagues. A Kong is usually defined as someone that can win special tournaments but not starleagues, where they'll take 2nd place (suits soO just fine as he did win KeSPA Cup). | ||

Congratz to Kim, Browder, Pardo and the Blizzard Team for having the balls to evolve the game over 7 years into the masterpiece that it is right now. congratz to Gumiho. | ||

I felt tonight, Gumiho's biggest edge was stylistic. They were both so sharp in that first game, soO's build was blatantly anti-mech with no gas (would have struggled against a 3 rax reaper for example) and was a perfect read of his opponent. Generally in games where soO goes for a macro style, he does better against Terran's that aggressivly attack in on him, which most Korean terrans usually do. When Gumiho didn't do any early damage with harass, he just gradually consolidated his forces, expanded, kept his composition balanced and poked slightly where he could. When broods came out, he kept his ravens and vikings behind his turrets and never over extended or flew into a concave of corruptors, vipers, or those couple of infestors, slowly whittling his opponent down. Those 3-4 battlecruisers for base denial were brilliant, showing Gumiho's mastery and insight of mech vZ. Also, the extra armour on the Thors definitely helped them fare better against the broods than I expected they would. If he had made vikings at that moment instead he might have lost. So weird to see soO be more successful in the aggressive games ZvT games than the reactive macro zerg but I guess it was soO in. GSL final afterall. Gumiho's positioning, choice of engagements and his control have become on par or supassed his hoursemen colleagues this season and really compliment his traditional strengths with multi-tasking, build and stragegy selection. 5th hourseman official? | ||

Or maybe he will wait a few more years and repeat the Kong cycle until SC2 is dead and gone? Would be some irony if the pro scene gave up before soO did. | ||

I would have a natural tendency to be skeptical about such a sweeping claim, but then I realize that you have probably actually seen all the games. | ||

To be fair, GuMiHo didn't have any real success for 7 years and kept going. Making it to the GSL finals 6 times is still success. | ||
