I see that after last night someone went back to that Stuciu article about Rogue beeing a Patchzerg and all the shit it got and thought to himself:

"Let me top that"

Edit: God damit I just read the piece, it's actually well thought out and methodical, still don't think it's gonna stop it from derailling.

Didn't know it was a stuchiu article)

Goes to show, all TL writers are the same


miz hates rogue, stuchiu loves taeja

I can forgive you for missing it, but a month ago I actually proved conclusively that Fruitdealer was the best player in StarCraft 2 using nothing but hard facts and enviable reason:

On August 20 2019 06:55 Fanatic-Templar wrote:
If you made a tournament today for modern players using the map pool of Steppes of War, Kulas Ravine, Desert Oasis, Blistering Sands, etc. no Zerg player could win it. Very likely no Zerg player could even win a single series. But Fruitdealer won one. And other Zerg players managed to take series. This objectively demonstrates that Zerg players in 2010 were capable of performing feats the much weaker Zerg players of today couldn't even hope to emulate.

Now you may be saying "that logic may be completely irrefutable, but it only proves that modern Zergs suck compared to their 2010 counterparts!" And that's correct, but consider this: modern Terrans and Protosses are so bad that they regularly lose to modern Zergs! This very tournament, which had many modern Terrans and Protosses in it, was capped by a mirror match-up between two modern Zergs! So we must rationally conclude that modern Terrans and Protosses suck too.

Quod erat demonstrandum!


EDIT: Didn't want to admit it, but I can't really find fault with this argument by Durnuu though:

Except for his opinion on Terran, obviously.

Statistics don't lie, they are just mislabeled. If you want to prove something with statistics then you need to include the correct information.

Also this article is weird.

If you listen to the community, the subjective greatest SC2 player of all time is INnoVation.

If you prefer cold, hard facts, Rogue is our current Unofficial World Champion based on objective results, beating the guy who beat the guy who beat the guy... who beat our first champion, Fruitdealer.

I don't really know what people are on about with these Maru and Serral guys.

I mean you say Unofficial world champion, I was always under the impression that was a totally official and recognised title, feel you’re underselling the prestige man

Not only that, but there's also a pretty decent gap between him and the 2nd best. He's like the Magnus Carlsen of SC2.

Apologies. Rogue is our Official Unofficial World Champion.

I thought we settled this debate long ago and went with the most EPS titles to determine the best player. Shocked that Miz didn't mention this. By this reputable criteria, Big Gabe is the best player of all time, with Socke a close second.

Stuchio would have reminded people that Mvp conquered the world while being literally dead.

Or that Taeja didn't actually play sc2 and still won tournaments.

That's why those players are the best not the ones who actually better than them
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

The best player in the world is the one that I think is! No other way around it.
