Sbenu is pretty much considered as an ACE equivalent but they're demonstrating to be up to fill the gap samsung khan was occupying on SPL. They're awesome.
It's different players too, Changers been clutch in some games, Shinee probably still their ace picking up wins, SJ has come out of no where and is storming through much more established players, Olympus did well in the individual league and this Zerg Spire is looking good today.
STX got slap/backslap combo and put out of the way, hell yeah Sbenu! Too bad changers seems to be on MBC now, or at least he played for them once, however Sbenu is so stronk. Imagine if practice houses were still going on how good they could become.
If I'm understanding the phone interview correctly (the sound quality is so bad they're barely understanding each other), Kim Carrier was saying that By.Spire kept offering battles to Hero and that he seemed very confident, and asked him how he got that confidence. By.Spire said that he was Hero's practice partner at some point during the SSL, and that he got some confidence then. Sonic and Gorush then asked what his win rate was at that time, and he said it was around 50%.
