GYT posted up a really interesting article about top Pacific NorthWest player Jason Cole, stating that out of all the players they have tracked so far, he is by far and away the player with the most combacks. So many in fact, that in the most recent tournament he attended, he had eight comebacks during his Top 8 run.
Here is a small clip of the stats article, check out the rest and many more player stats -- include those at our own Starbase Tournaments -- at GYTNews:
In two tournaments, Cole has a .323 comeback average. Nearly a third of his wins have come when he's been down to a quarter percent of health and trailing (that is my definition of a "comeback", more here in the guide). The tournament average in my database is .168 and decreasing as I continue to put in matches.
Most great players are above the curve in almost every category. However, when it comes to comebacks, they are at the average or below, in part because they don't need to rally to win.
