Coca just qualified for OSL so he must be getting pretty good again

No one really knows where coca is at atm, but if he is as good as before he got removed from GSL, then yeah he has a good chance of winning

No he's just gonna win because *insert balance whine here*

I don't really think he ever stopped being pretty good, to be honest.

Same problem Terran used to have with Colossi and Protoss.

what? im pretty sure coca was the one about to throw the game away by being so passive, but his spine crawler trick was enough to overrun mkp when hunterseeker wasnt ready
I really wish they'd change the range of seeker missile or the amount of energy needed to cast it. It's range + need to upgrade + amount of energy is really prohibitive.
I don't mean this to be balance whine or even to say MKP would've won that with a seeker missile buff. I just think it'd be more fun to watch TvZs/ZvTs like that if that spell was more viable.

He was one of the top players before he forfeit code S because of the throwing game to buyn in a tournament thing

Zergs throw away TvZ's by being passive? good one.
CoCa is better then MKP, regardless of the balance patch. Disregarding the fact that he lost in the only GSL qualifier he's been able to participate in since he was Temp Banned from GSL, his preformance and gameplay has been super strong, in Korean Weeklys (getting 2nd to Life) and Qualifying for OSL, and doing well in GSTL, and getting awesome results in TSL.

He did really really well until him and Byun (GhostKing) got suspended for a few months because of a "Match fixing" thing that happened. Before he got suspended, he had a really impressive run in MLG Anaheim 2011, and he was always looked at as someone who had a ton of potential.
Guess him and Byun spent a lot of their off time practicing rather than participating in tournaments.

In one of the CSN videos he's shown being ranked at #1GM... recently qualified for the OSL... was is code S before sacrificing his seed. I think he's definitely a threat even if he's not as highly considered as MKP.

He looked a little shaky in his first few appearances after he came back but it could have been nerves from being out of the spotlight for a few months
i vote: -remove atlantis spaceship -remove whirlwind -remove metropolis -remove cloud kingdom -add steppes of war

i doubt many consider coca better in absolute skill. it's hard to say where he is.
