That's actually mindblowing and makes him by far the best player to never have done so. herO is a 6-time premier tournament winner, Solar is a 5-time premier tournament winner, Rogue is a 2-time world champion, 2 time Blizzcon round of 4, and 2 additional premier tournament champion, and none of them have made a GSL finals. Dark is not leagues above any of them in terms of overall performance if you put value in being the best player in the world at a specific time over consistently being good. | ||

Taeja - 11 weekenders, 2 GSL ro4s Solar - SSL 1st, SSL 2nd, SSL 3rd, 4 weekenders Bomber - 4 weekenders Polt - 7 weekenders, 1 GSL ro4 Rogue - 2x world champ, 2 weekenders Serral - 1 world champ, 1 weekender Dream - 2x SSL 2nd herO - 5 weekenders, 1 SSL, 1 GSL ro4 I'd definitely put Dark ahead of any of those, with his 21 ro4+ finishes in what are almost all extremely stacked events. Including 4 GSL ro4s, 3 SSL finals (inc one win), and a blizzcon finals. Not to mention being almost always the best or second best zerg for like four years now. | ||

Exactly. The correct answer is Serral. | ||

No, it really isn't. Serral has won only 3 tournaments with major Korean representation. (Blizzcon, GSL vs. The World, and HomeStory Cup). That's a great argument for best non-Korean of all time but it is well below what a bunch of Koreans have accomplished. | ||

Polt won a GSL Super Tournament  2011 GSL Super Tournament/Final8I think it's definitely between Taeja or Dark | ||

If that's the metric you're using, Dark's a chump because he has only won a single tournament with major Korean representation (2016 SSL Season 1). | ||

Dark has done well in countless other tournaments with Koreans. Serral has not. Dark's offline record vs. South Korean players: 178-98 Serral's offline record vs. South Korean players: 36-36 | ||

One win and what feels like a billion ro4/finals appearances in stacked events vastly outweighs two wins in my opinion. | ||
