My very first article that I wrote for TL was about JangBi - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/news-archive/271943-osl-jin-air-osl-mandate-of-heaven#three | ||

I also find hard to think that theres someone else than Bisu sitting in No1 Protoss throne but peak form Jangbi was definitely something else.... It's an interesting topic. I think usually when we talk about overall greatness, results and context matter, not just raw skill. But when talking about a specific matchup, it's more ok to just refer to raw skill. So, it's less controversial to say "peak Jangbi was best PvT" because it means "peak Jangbi had highest PvT skill of any player". But when we say "best Protoss player" we usually mean "very high peak skill + body of work results-wise". This framing also allows us to put older players like Nada or Oov into the "best players" discussion. After all, peak skill-wise out of Zergs, it's probably Jaedong and Effort, but you can't put Effort ahead of guys like July or Yellow (or Savior...) in the "greatest Zergs" discussion. There is also a tendency to romanticize players whose peak skill was much higher than their average / most "common" skill. Jangbi definitely fell into this category. I think when Bisu is practicing hard and 100% on his game, his peak skill is as high as Jangbi's. For sure peak Bisu PvZ is far better than any other player's. Peak Jangbi's PvT is better. Since Bisu had bigger stretches of PvP dominance than Jangbi, I think he also had the highest peak PvP skill, though PvP is a weird matchup that's probably less dependent on the usual skill factors of BW than any other matchup, i.e. PvP is the only matchup in the game where both micro AND macro aren't *that* hard by BW standards. I suppose TvT might also fall into this category, but TvT has a unique long term strategic component. PvP is more rock papers scissor-y, but ZvZ is as well so that's not a unique feature of PvP. But yes, I think Bisu and Jangbi are the two highest peak skill Protoss players of all time, and you wouldn't get laughed out of the room by knowledgeable fans if you said Jangbi was #1. No one else is that close. Stork is amazing in his own way because I don't think his peak skill was nearly as high as either Bisu or Jangbi, yet results-wise he's barely behind Bisu. Imagine if Stork won that MSL final against Bisu where he forgot Dragoon range in a 40 minute game 5 ... then it'd be Stork with 1 OSL 1 MSL and Bisu with 2 MSL. Wonder what we'd be saying in that universe. And no, sorry, but I don't give Jangbi's 2 OSLs the same weight because of when they happened. I "count" it as like, 1.25 OSL. | ||

I think there is little doubt that jangbi was in the top 3 of best protoss of all time ever since he managed to get out of Stork's shadow but I would put Best ahead of him personally. | ||

Peak form Jangbi was winning OSLs which was a great achievement, but no one was calling Bisu peak form even though while Jangbi was winning OSLs, Bisu set the record for most wins in a proleague season. Jangbi in the 2010-2011 proleague season was 13 wins - 18 losses (41.94%), Bisu was 36 wins - 5 losses (87.80%). I think we can all agree Jangbi excelled at the end of his career in individual leagues, but he was terrible in proleague at the same time. This is why his peak isn't actually that great, but his achievements certainly are. | ||
