think about this now. mango has beaten m2k, pc, shiz, chu, cort, etc. pretty much all of their amazing players.
(i know shiz isn't EC but i don't care)
i think he's the best, right now.
the problem is, mango is one person.
zhu, jeff, lucky, lunin and paul are arguably the next tier below mango for california.
zhu didn't beat any of their greats.
paul hasn't done too much at all out of state.
lucky lost to macd in tournament (EL OH EL)
jeff randomly loses to tang, lunin, and germ. (not that those people aren't good)
while consistently loses to paul and zhu.
and lunin is ridiculously inconsistent and loses to people worse than him a little too often, imo.
i know everyone i spoke of can and would 3 and/or 4 stock me in tournament.
i'm speaking as a spectator.
all i'm saying is that WC has proven to have one great, they have like 8. haha
