Indeed, his combined head-to-record against the Group B players in 2023 sits at an unimpressive 12-18 (7-8 vs Classic, 1-0 against Bunny, 4-10 against Dark), and rates him as an underdog against all three of them (42% chance vs Classic, 48% vs Bunny, 27% vs Dark).īut, what do these numbers mean for Creator? The man has seen the bottom of the Korean StarCraft II scene-there's no way these kinds of odds daunt him. Against fellow Koreans/GSL players, his record in 2023 is a dismal 64-89 in matches.įrom that point of view, it seems like Creator is lucky to even be in the RO8, and it would be quite the shock to see him make it one step further. Across the first eight Liquipedia-premier events of 2023, he failed to make the RO8 in a single one. But he has regressed toward another shady place: mediocrity.
No, Creator hasn't regressed back to being a player who frequently failed to qualify for Code S and was the butt of jokes for the Korean community. But, form is a fickle thing, and much of the hope and optimism of that miracle run has faded. It's been about 18 months since Creator reset his career in Code S Season 1 of 2022, where he reached the grand finals after spending nearly a decade as a fringe GSL player.
