I would not count Cole out so easily vs Goldscv. Hes proven to be on the same skill level, if not greater than, as J.H or Goldscv. Although, without a doubt, Goldscv and J.H have definitely improved the past season or two having more experience with adapting to our strategies. In terms of raw macro and micro, both J.H and Goldscv are extremely powerful at a level not even seen during prime vgt days. But that isn't everything. Cole is a very talented gamer in terms of wits and understanding the game play. Hes beaten many skilled gamers without using his level of micro or macro but with just pure strategy, understanding his opponents gameplay, and timing. Between J.H, Goldscv, and cole, I think it will come down to the deficiencies in fastest map, adaptation of game play, and luck. Example: mid z vs t or p.

New to site. old vgt player.  I just watched about 10 replays each from the top 3 players and that statement about these players being better than prime vgt players is horribly  inaccurate.  These top 3 players wouldve been chewed up by top vgt players in its prime. I dont see the balance between tech, micro and macro that the top vgt players had.  Most of what i see from these players is a tech race to counter the other player and whoever gets there first seems to win the game.  Havent seen the strategical approach that prime vgt players executed.
