It's as if there is a pretty big difference between 9th and anyone beyond that ( except Ryung ). It seems that the top 9 players are the only ones doing well in the tournaments latelly. ( of course not counting the players that aren't here). Anyway, since terrans haven't had a new promise in a while I'm going to root for sea, I jope he can be what dream and maru were supposed to be. Edit: oh there is bogus too, completely forgot about him. | ||

Yes Nerchio outplaced him but Nerchio got 3-0'd the next round and he also got 2-0'd by the person that barely knocked Naniwa out of the tournament. At MLG he out placed a gigantic amount of this list including MC, TheSTC, Scarlett, San, Hero, and Crank. The only tournament he disappointed at was LSC. Hell even at LSC he tied with Polt and still placed better than TheSTC. Out of the top 30 STC is probably the one that deserves it the least tbh. First of all, I didn't say TheSTC deserved to be in the top 30; I agree that he doesn't deserve the spot- but neither does Naniwa. Who did he beat at DH Winter? ForGG, Ret, and Feast, the last two by a single game. Who did Nerchio beat? 2-1 TLO, 2-0 Targa, 2-0 Dimaga, 2-0 Bischu, 3-1 fraer, 3-0 Mana. And the assumption you're making is the head-to-head fallacy that OP smartly avoided; monchi beat Nerchio and barely beat Naniwa, but his PvZ and PvP aren't equal; results vs a single opponent tell you nothing. At MLG he only won 2 series, against Ret and BabyKnight (the third vs. Flash was ultimately lost via extended series); many of the players you mentioned didn't have the luxury of being seeded in pool play or having a road that involved no Koreans until Flash in the 3rd round. Polt was a huge disappointment at LSC, and even then his results are comparable to Naniwa's; Naniwa only beat Hawk and qxc, neither of whom holds a candle to top-level Korean players.He lost to Crank and got swept by Bomber. And the last, most obvious disappointment was dropping straight from Code S Ro8 two seasons ago into Ro32, then Code A, and finally Code B to Mini. | ||
