The funniest part was Stats laughing at Classic for giving him 7/10 points for knowledge on his opponent's race.

Stats is the most solid and well rounded protoss of all time IMO.

Great army positioning and micro int hese battles. The two losses seemed mostly build order related.

And Classic 10/10 knowledge because he is a Protoss, proven by his chin.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I don't think that's really it. Stats had superior Tactics and upgrade advantages.

He already has more finals (6) than MVP (5) or Inno (4)


Mvp was in six, won 4 of them. He lost to MMA and Life in GSL finals.


Weekender/korea vs the world style events don't count. They aren't nearly as fair or competitive as a Code S. People only think they are because it has GSL in the name.

Code S is what people refer to when they say "X won GSL".


So, if we only count Code S; what about the open seasons? Do we take them them away as well? What about the Super Tournament, that Polt won? Is that gone as well? This tournament happened in a time, when GSL was still young and we didn't know, that a clear Code-S/Code-A-structure would continue to exist for 7 years.

GSL vs World is considered a "real" GSL, because it was seen as such, when it happened. It was considered as important as a Code-S-win, when it happened. Describing it as something minor is just wrong, if you consider the historical context.

After all, isn't elevating something because it has "Code S" in the name the same thing as elevating something because it has "GSL" in the name?

You're missing the point. It's nothing to do with the name. Being called Code S is no different to being called WCS korea, or GSL open season or whatever. The point is, when you say someone "won GSL" it means they won a particular season. That's what matters.

When Innovation plays in GSL he's labelled with three gold medals, not four. When Zest plays he's labelled with two etc. Afreeca don't include GSLvsTW and GSL world championship events for a reason.

Random weekend tournaments shouldn't be included. Gom/Afreeca have run plenty of those over the years (GSL blizzard cup, Hot6 cup, GSL vs the world events, Super tournament, GSL world cup etc). Just because some of them have GSL in the name doesn't mean they carry the same prestige as Code S (or similar).
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs
