Just ignore the GSL last week vs Maru, the IEM Gyeonggi final vs Innovation and the IEM Katowice finals vs TY

All of which he lost. Funny.

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

If you are a kong because you only win vs kongs we might get a situation where everyone is a kong at the end. 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.

They are similar in that they aren't aggressive protosses. But I think Rain's defense was a lot stronger, while Stats has better counter harass. Rain was really dominant in PVZ and PVT but sucked at PVP. Stats is more balanced across matchups but not as dominant in any of them. Not to mention stats is clutch as hell when playing offline elimination playoff games. It always seemed to me that Rain never loses late game. Stats loses quite a few of them but he mixes in more aggressive builds than Rain did.

Rain wasn't bad in PvP at all


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

I mean true kongship is all about the starleagues anyway, kongs win special events like the super tournament or kespa cup.
Through these lens even innovation could be a half kong

Then is Dark a true Kong? He's lost two starleagues and won one. Winning SSL removes him from the list, no?

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.

I guess he wouldn't be one.
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

The definition of Kong has degenerated since BW, now it's just a term we use to describe a guy who gets a lot of silvers.

Just like bonjwa.

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.
Ganzi beat me without stim. Ostojiy beat me with a nydus. Siphonn beat me with probes. Revival beat my sentry-immortal all-in.

The problem is that there's so many kongs they end up facing eachother in finals.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs
