He lost 1-3 to Ryung and did not look impressive at all. well in fact he played vs Ryung from Tunisia when he was in vacation (so no time to really train I think) with more than 1000ms lag. (he said he had 1,5 sec lag on the chat of the metapolis map). edit: same as when he defeats MKP from Tunisia | ||

Haha so if he beats a korean that's likely lagging in the finals of a qualifier that doesn't actually matter that's cool but when he loses cause of it we should disregard the games right? It's almost like online doesn't matter... | ||

I knew one of the swedes managed to take a game in Code A, but forgot which one. Replace him with Thorzain I guess... | ||

Yes, he has no major lan victory yet but well... Namaa got one and is not considered an absolute top foreigner, Idra got good results and is no longer an absolute top foreigner (at least it does not seem like it). Thorzaine hasn't won a single offline event expect the TSL Finals wich were one match against Naniwa and is considered a top foreigner by about everyone. Sorry.. Results matter but they just aren't everything. Btw: He has won some lans in France, he was 3d at Assembly.. Thats hardly "0" Lan results... Just because you have not visited a totally overrated MLG and have not won one of the 2 Dreamhacks EVER FUCKING HELD and were not invited to one of the tons of invitationals, does not mean that you aren't a top player  .I would rather search the blame on the tons of invitationals that are just that, invitationals. | ||

I'm not sure if you are serious. Results don't matter. Really? And looking at his TLPD page, he has pretty good stats, but is obviously not unbeatable. Losing tournament sets to elfi, Beastyqt, Dimaga, Nerchio, and so forth. Yeah, MLG is overrated, regardless of all the top GSL players (MVP, Bomber, CoCa, ...) that are invited as well as the many other solid non-Korean players there (Slush, Naniwa, Huk, ....). | ||

Do you think a weak player could really dominate the ladder in such a way and defeat top koreans online? | ||
