Um... you do realize Ding Ning isn't any other player. She's (arguably) the best female player right now. That's why I used this example, the best male player (arguably) vs. the best female player. Not sure how that weakens my argument. I thought it's more effective to compare male player and female player with similar respective rankings. Also, this is just an example, I know Ma Long isn't in T2APAC.
Obviously I didn't make my point clear. ML would toy with every single player in t2 apac, male and female. He is so far ahead of the field right now that basically only FZD makes him play his best. That's why I said ML was not a good comparison to use.
More applicable would be something like Harimoto vs Bernie Szocs. Smash and scream x 2. Or FTW vs JSH.
