Stats the half-Kong, who defeats the Kongs but loses to all the non-Kongs in the finals. | ||

Wouldn't the King of Kongs be the guy that loses to all the other Kongs? | ||

I am fine with that Well, I called Stats a half-Kong to prevent exactly that. He defeats full Kongs but loses to non-Kongs, so those who defeat him aren't dragged into a chain of recursion. One degree removed from Kong = half-Kong. Two degrees is out of Kong territory entirely. | ||

Wasn't one of Rain's claims to fame "solving" PvP? I didn't understand PvP at the time but people kept talking about that. Definitely think they're very different playstyles as discussed, was a huge Rain fan and do not at all get the same vibe from Stats. Stats and Zest seem to have more similar approaches to the game, while Rain's has not resurfaced since his retirement | ||

Through these lens even innovation could be a half kong | ||

And Inno definitely isnt a half-Kong under either definition of Kong, seeing as he defeated Solar and sOs (both non-Kongs) in starleagues. He also hasn't lost to anyone in the finals for years. The whole point of half-Kong is losing to non-Kongs while defeating only Kongs, and Inno doesn't fit either category. | ||

sOs could be one, losing two gsl finals and only winning "special events" Though the kongness in sc2 shouldn't stop at starleagues, our "special events" are a huge part of the tournament scene while that wasn't really the case in bw (where the initial definition comes from) Thankfully, this way we can still call dark a kong  | ||

Just like bonjwa. | ||

Stats the Kong hunter. I like that one, it sounds better than half-Kong. | ||

Stats and Zest seem to have more similar approaches to the game, while Rain's has not resurfaced since his retirement Yeah, Rain basically solved PvP in WoL by essentially figuring out the perfect composition (or at least the perfect balance between Colossi/Immortal numbers, and often his zealot count was exact as well which is crazy). I loved his WoL PvP, even in the early game, he was very, very smart. I don't remember much of Rain's PvP in HotS anymore, other than the time he got super outplayed by Zest when Zest was at his decision-making peak. But I don't recall it being particularly bad. | ||
