Updated post

What do you guys think now? I think oov is the best, then Nada, then nal_ra. The criteria is, who would you pick to play a best of 5 series against a random top pro on balanced maps? new posts start on page 7

[image loading]

Poll: Who's the best CURRENT player?
(Vote): Xellos
(Vote): Yellow
(Vote): nal_ra
(Vote): Nada
(Vote): Boxer
(Vote): iloveoov
(Vote): Other



Original post written March 14

There is a very, very good case that oov is the best player in the world right now. if he beats nada in the MBCgame finals, i think the title is his.

Overall
nada: 344 - 161 -> 68.1%
oov: 77 - 26 -> 74.8 %

TvZ
nada: 153 - 70 -> 68.6%
oov: 24 - 5 -> 82.8%

TvP
nada: 103 - 53 -> 66.0%
oov: 21 - 6 -> 77.8%

TvT
nada: 86 - 36 -> 70.5%
oov: 32 - 15 -> 68.1%

conclusion: oov is a fucking machine, and just needs 1 more major trophy to secure his spot as the best player. i think oov had easier competition (slightly), but he also dominated pretty much everything that he's been in. MSL twice, and both team leagues for a while

goodfriend is also coming up strong too. once he is established, the top 5 players may all be terran

Personally, to conclude someone as #1, i want more than just 2 trophies. Even though i realize its quite the feat, it seems too soon to call.

you've got some really strong evidence to back it up, but the truth is that oov isn't as consistently good as nada; also he may look good on paper.

i saw his vod vs yellow, that was some impressive stuff in u-boat. probably the best vod ive ever seen, with 20 minutes of hunting down buildings while yellow kept making more
people are similar in nature. its the experience of life that makes them so different.

Wow that's interesting. TvZ was long considered to be his worst matchup, and apparently statistically it's his best.

He looks like the new nada... dominating MBCGame then finally moving to OGN after getting a few MBC titles.

His weakest MU, stats wise, is TvT tho... a disturbingly common MU these days.

i think he needs more time. people might just have trouble with his style, or hes just goin along on momentum. just let him continue his streak a LIL longer.

besides, who said beating nada made him best in the world? i honestly think ra is better overall. much more inventive and intelligent player.

guys lets be realistic here, its not like he's gonna MAJORLY drop off ;he just might lose some more games than he has on this torrent he's been on lately, he'll probably drop off a few percentage points and level off at about what nadas at. i'd say they're fairly equal ,just gotta give him that additional year nada has had~~

and as hovz said, give him way more games
although judging by how he's been playing nothing short of a breakdown would have any impact record wise
