Drop them back into KeSPA days via time machine and give them some time to adapt to the meta and they will crush everybody. Winning a tournament is still an big achievement today because you still have to go through all these monsters. On the other hand Dark for example is definitely playing more sloppy and makes more mistakes than his 2019 version, but he's still probably a top 5 player. Maru and Serral may indeed have reached a skill level no one before has, but the rest of the player field is weaker imo, both in absolute and relative skill. | ||

Jesus Christ. The current era has players with APMs and eAPMs that the pre-2016 boys could only dream of. Back then when good splits happened, they were repeatedly highlighted as epic micro. Today, those splits are standard. Clem is splitting/microing his marines while macroing, even, which is stupidly hard and insane to even try to pull off. Levels of creep spread are miles apart, and it's harder to spread creep today than back then. Players have invented, and perfected so many strategies and builds. I don't think you've been going back to watch the old games, dude. Those guys were so much slower in comparison. Today's top players are doing multitasking that observers sometimes have a hard time keeping up with. That didn't use to happen. If anyone thinks Jinro, early Scarlett, and Stephano had anything on today's top 4 Europeans, minus Serral, they are pretty ignorant...and Jinro and Scarlett both had deep runs in GSL. | ||
