Horses for courses and all that You also have to be massively talented to pull it off, I feel. It really does play into the "what if?" narrative that was going around when SC2 ended his BW career just as his star was rising. Great choice of material jinjin, thanks as always! | ||

It would have been interesting if he stuck around to see how he did in the big big money tournaments like WESG If you exclude the jail boi Zerg, I'd think so. Rain at the top of the world when he retired. I for one was very surprised when he retired. | ||

But the fallen one, was even better. | ||
