Island map this season? wow

Not sure how I feel about making the gas inaccessible to terran and protoss though. I understand something is necessary but that feels kind of lame, like changing unit properties or something

Jaedong is playing on group F :O I thought he retired last season

Cool games thus far, new maps always bring out creative cheese until defenses against every attack vector are chunked together in a working adaptive strategy for each race.

Random question for people who kept up with SC more over the years than I did: tasteless and artosis often talk about the 4 best players ever and name Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, and Stork. Why stork? Not just why is he listed alongside the other 3 players who were clearly at the top, but also why is he listed above the other candidates like savior, iloveoov, fantasy, jangbi, or guys like nada who were dominant for long periods of time? An analogy I would use is tennis: instead of saying Roger, Novak, Rafa are the three best ever, someone says the four best ever are Roger, Novak, Rafa, and Murray, and simultaneously places Murray alongside three players he shouldn't be named with and above players like Sampras, Borg, Lendl, and McEnroe which is unclear.

I was curious about that myself. I would have thought Nada would have been the logical 4th choice.
I'm pretty certain savior would be have been solidly there except he is unmentionable after being so instrumental in the match-fixing scandal.

EchoOfThunder & HungarianGOD

Liquipedia's take on TaekBangLeeSsang which seems accurate to me. Maybe they refer to them more often because of the absolute level of skill they reached.

I can tell you why they do that with tennis, and it's probably equivalent here in BW, they say Murray is in the big four cause he smashed the other 3 in 1-2 seasons. People ignore previous legends cause tennis is virtually a different game compared to when Sampras played. Skillwise its very likely that Murray is indeed top4 most skilled ones ever, achievements-wise that's a whole different topic.

Generally, though people just prefer to focus on the present and project that into different aspects. It's the same with every sport, its the current players that are "the best ever" etc...

I don't know why they rank stork so highly either and I think the tennis analogy is a good one.


Daut    United States. Mar 24 2018 01:23. Posts 8955

It makes sense from the perspective that he had a long period where he was mostly among the top 5 (notably while the other 3 best ever were dominant) and briefly reached #1 a few times. But if you go by the extended dominance metric then savior, iloveoov, and nada are all better all time greats. And if you go by peak skill level metric, then I think Fantasy is better as he had a higher peak ELO (so did savior, but during an easier time period) and reached #1 at a later point in history while games were still very difficult and was higher ranked from 2010-2012. Fantasy was also 9-13 vs flash and had a winning record vs jangbi.

I'm ok deferring to people who watched actively while it was happening and have thought about this more and giving stork the tiebreaker as he was amongst the top 5 during the hardest era of starcraft for 4-5 years.
