And his run in IEM/GSL Super Tournament, it can't get any better ! He's right though, Rogue is at a point where multiple other players have been before (Byun for example). He was succesfull in the last couple of months but will he remain one of the greatest? Like soO and Innovation , or will he fall in the next months just like Byun did after winning Blizzcon? | ||

ByuN was a product of a broken unit and a map pool which supported his play style. He was always going to take a step back in performance after the reaper nerf and a change in map pools. Rogue won using the breadth of his race's tools and is not likely to be devastated by any single change. If Rogue continues to bring the same level of preparation that he did in 2017 to 2018, he's unlikely to take a major step back relative to other Zerg players. | ||

I have to admit that the final against Innovation in the GSL Super Tournament was the highest level of progaming for a long long time and Rogue was in the center of that. Much respect. I am telling this because Blizzcon is not an ultimate scale rather still remains the most epic and commersial tournament for the year. Let's not forget that TY lost /again/ from himself just like always does. So what I am trying to say is that Rogue's hall of fame is about to begin and Code S as an ultimate challenge is waiting for him. This is good for sport because there are not so many top zergs for the last few years. It is good for the balance. For this reason I am not that hyped for Rogue yet, but only curious. After observing eSports SC for a decade I have seen many stars who came on top and easily were forgotten later. You can play like the best player today, but tomorrow you can't regocnize yourself because you haven't trained enough. | ||

He got to the final by stomping (7-1 in games) 3 foreigners and beating Gumiho... you can't do that in GSL ST, nor in GSL or SSL. He stomped foreigners that got there by beating other Koreans. Everytime before the match people were talking about how the foreigner can win, how Neeb is favoured after beating Rogue, etc. But after soO crushed them suddenly they were just bad foreigners that got there through Blizzard rigging. He also got a good bracket by coming out first out of the strongest RO16 group with both finalists and the strongest foreigner btw. | ||

Its absolutely not his fault that TY lost vs. Special, that Dark lost vs. Elazer and Rogue lost vs. Neeb and Stats lost to Special and got eliminated. | ||
