GGs! Classic is 27 years old.. how old was the oldest finalist/winner of GSL (Code S)? Is Classic the oldest one?

And how old was the younger finalist/winner? Anyone knows?


Not sure about the oldest, might have been NesTea. Youngest was definitely Life who won his first GSL at age 15.

I am quite sure it was indeed NesTea being almost 29 years old.

Well played Classic! Such an entertaining Protoss player!

Did he really bring seven different stratergies to the series whou? The proxy Twillight glaive build was used twice? Or was it a variation of the build the second time?

The second time it was without glaive and much faster I believe.

he did have glaives. adept allin without glaives doesn't exist because it's horribly weak. but he also proxied a robo and boosted out immortals to sustain the attack. up to interpretation whether that's a "different strategy"

Don't think he made one the first time either.

He did.


Second time he didnt make a starport.

Happy for Classic, really hoping he wins a Code S in his last year!

Also Dark's streak of lost semis is insane at this point

Yep, he was the oldest one.

29 when he won his last GSL, just checked it. Very impressive indeed.

Indeed. For someone who once accused Maru of having a ro4 curse, he's currently 0/3
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Maru was 0/4 in GSL Ro4 and we know what happened once he broke the curse.

On one hand, no more PvZ for Classic is good, because he might have showed all his cards in that MU.

On the other hand, maybe he has to play Maru :[

He's won an SSL, OSL, and WESG too. Plus numerous second places and top 4s in all sorts of events and being the best proleague player in SC2. I think 1 more GSL gives him a very real claim to GOAT. If he wins anything else this year it becomes hard to argue.

I would definitely question "best proleague player." At the very least he has stiff competition, if not clear superiors.

Please check at least what Life, Innovation and Mvp won(in no clear order), in a shorter or much shorter career, then reconsider your statements. Maru is very far from being GOAT, a fourth Code S won't definitely close the gap.

He'd easily be the GOAT. Bogus is the only one with a shot at overtaking him.

Mvp is not even top 3 anymore. His period of longevity was way too brief. Life accomplished a lot, but surprisingly had a spotty record when it came to starleagues.

Maru has been a top-tier player since 2013, if he wins this he'll have won 6 Korean starleagues and has already won every type. Not many foreign tournament wins, but then again, Maru didn't venture out of Korea back when there were a lot more opportunities. He was busy with SPL
