I'm pretty sure Artosis is blatantly lying when says he's been thinking for years Dark is the best or 2nd best Zerg in the world consistently. | ||

Post JD 2013 he was though I think. Wow, Dark has high ambitions, that's great. But I don't think anybody will ever be more famous than Boxer by playing StarCraft. Even Flash or JD level seems unreachable at this point. | ||

I don't think you can argue Dark as top 2 for 2014. 2015 I'd say he was top 2 for some time but not super long. And then 2016 top 2 pretty much the entire year. | ||

Maybe top 5 in 2014, but there was no clear ranking in Korea tbh, apart from soO being number 1.. | ||

Only 9 games in Proleague, qualified for GSL every season but only got 1 RO16. He got top 8 in the WECG qualifier I think, I remember an epic series against TY. I think you can find 5 or more Zerg players you could put ahead of Dark for 2014. Even though in the end soO was the only one who really mattered | ||

I guess that's understandable considering they recorded it a while earlier and not all ranks were secured back then. Still, would be nice to get something for other players too. | ||

Not that much, no. Qualified for IEM Katowice (was winner takes all tho so no money from it) and got 3rd at MSI. I'd confidently put Solar and Soulkey on a 2014 list way ahead of Rogue. ByuL also didn't do much in 2014. But really, every Zerg in Korea in 2014 just completely paled in comparison to soO (I swear he was the only Zerg who looked relevant) until Life won Blizzcon. | ||

Byul carried IM in Proleague though so I'd still put him ahead of Dark. Also Life and TRUE got to GSL semifinals while Soulkey was 20-14 in Proleague and only disappointed in GSL because he repeatedly faced Zest so I don't agree that Zerg was that irrelevant. | ||
