I think it’s a reasonable assumption given how thorough your entries have been in this series, and you publicising that you’re going to do some kind of blog post covering near-misses and rationales that said posts can assumed to be somewhat in-depth.
Maybe my vibe detection is off today, that felt a bit snippy a response to what I read as ‘don’t give Miz shit, he’s got some supplementary stuff coming’

I think there's a two sentence answer that will appease most people.

Believe it or not, but the first question I was asked during my interview way back in 2016 was "is mvp the goat?".

Interview for the writing gig I’m presuming?
Whatever your answer was I’m glad you answered correctly, joshing aside this is a fantastic series and it’s not your sole fine work either

It's been a journey. That's for sure.

I think everyone is assuming that it's going to be Maru at #2 and Serral at #1. It's not obvious to me that the positions won't be reversed based on 1) the criteria selected; and 2) Miz's willingness to take controversial positions that he believes are correct irrespective of community backlash. Not saying it's going to happen, just saying it's an interesting and real possibility.
One thing I didn't see in the criteria that is highly relevant in GOAT convos in other sports and games is the power of narratives and movements and stories, which have a very stubborn quality to them in the way they can overpower numbers and statistics. In the case of Maru, MVP, and Serral, they all have amazing narrative arcs: the child prodigy, the rags-to-riches story, and the foreigner who made the unthinkable feel inevitable. Rogue also has a zero to hero quality to him given the original run that propelled him to sustained greatness, but some of the ways in which he would win were so unappealing that in the end he feels like at best an anti-hero. Maru has the "choking" thing and MVP has the "injury-during-his-prime" thing that disrupt their narratives, whereas Serral's storyline is only really disrupted by never having won a GSL, which seems increasingly not very relevant.
Magnus Carlsen--arguably the Chess GOAT--abdicated the throne for a variety of reasons, but in particular he felt the classical chess format and the championship tournament structure doesn't do a very good job of determining the greatest player. I feel that way about SC2 for a lot of the same reasons. If Chess can evolve in how it's played after centuries, maybe SC2 can do so after a decade

Narratives > Facts lost out on this one I suppose.

I wonder when will we get #2. It is over two weeks. Mvp and Rogue were separate by 8 days.

Which would make total sense for a simultaneous release.

If the interest is focused on order more than actual writing.

Well 8+8=16.

Rogue was published 16 days ago. So any moment now?

More than one moment, but less than a few thousand moments.

Makes sense to me that the two greatest players would take more time to describe than others, but perhaps I should be more French and complain anyway

Let's break this up:
Few thousand is less than five thousand, otherwise it would be many thousand (obviously).
So somewhere between 1000 - 5000. Lets take the middle
A moment can be mere seconds or a small amount of minutes. Lets take a minute as a an average.
3000 minutes. An hour has passed already. A day has 1440 minutes.
So has to be somewhere between now and 2940 minutes or about two days

It's more than 16 days cus we gotta get that simultaneous Dark blog release !
Also calling it again: Maru is going to be #1
