INno wasn't able to perform in the toughest tournaments when TY was ( and same thing happened last week ). So yes INno won one more tournament than TY and against TY but he performed much less in the meaningful tournaments. wesg was a TY vs maru showmatch, what are you talking about? | ||

I thought this was a setup for the Dark vs soO GSL final that would decide the kong. | ||

Dark is a player with no weakness in his playstyle but has obvious flaws when approaching a series. He is willing to mix in aggressive timing in a long series, but it often appears random, which is good since it keeps opponent guessing but the effectiveness is often 50/50. With a bit more planning, an agressive build which partially resembles a previous build in the same series would be way more lethal. Dark's games also scream cockiness. It often baffles me how greedy his opening is when it is predictable that the opponent is going to try something non-standard. This is not only apparent in WESG finals, but was also why he got defeated so many times in GSL group stages before. However these flaws seem to be coachable. If Dark can fix them, he might rival the level of dominance that Rogue had (it's hard to imagine that anyone can surpass Rogue's peak but i would be pleasantly surprised if Dark did). Oh and by the way, Stats is obviously more consistent than Dark, if by being consistent you don't mean being consistent at losing in big tournaments. It sometimes takes understanding of the game i.e., paying attention to everything else other than micro and engagement to appreciate his brilliance. 50% of his games are boring, true, and so is almost any top tier player. But when he's facing another top player, his game often shows why he's called the professor, each time in a different way. As Zest said in an interview, Stats appears very weak in practice, probably because his control is nothing special, but rises to the occasion when the stake is high. In a way he's sOs with better mechanics (yeah I'm sure sOs would not play as crazily as he does if he had better mechanics) -- he's not scary until he takes you seriously. | ||

Even in terms of results. The only thing Dark's missing are more trophies. He's made top-4 in 10 premier tournaments in LoTV, Rogue has only made 4. Dark's also suceeded in the harder tournaments (3 starleague finals and 2 GSL ro4s). In terms of their actual skillset, Rogue is better from a strategic perspective, but not from a macro one. Rogue's ZvP is probably better, but Dark's ZvT is waay ahead. | ||

Being consistantly either the #1 or #2 zerg for the entirely of LoTV's existance is better than being #1 for a few months and barely worth talking about for the rest. Especially considering that Dark was still succeeding when zerg was (by far) the weakest race. Rogue only dominated when zerg became heavily favoured over the other races. Even in terms of results.

IEM World had 2 zerg in ro4, Serral and Rogue. This isn't just about rogue, zerg were doing good during nearly all Rogue's victory. | ||
