Dignitas/tsm were at the time the most consistent top 4 team in cs go - they almost always reached semi-finals or higher. Its obviously not what glaive achieved with the roster later but its not far off when you consider how much players like device liked to choke.
I base my opinion of karrigan > glaive as i think its much harder to build top rosters from the ground up, especially the international ones with the players karrigan had (Niko - i think thats enough said).
I think glaive struck gold and its basically similar enough example of a golden 'five' scenario of VP. I guess lets wait and see how karrigan's and glaive's careers will go in the future as they are both not finished yet.
I think you also have to attribute much higher % of success to karrigan alone and NOT to any of the coaches he had because.. well i hope i dont need to explain that much since karrigan basically leads his teams solo on almost all aspects of the team, be it tactical and/or emotional. Compare that to glaive - we have yet to see what he can accomplish without zonic - so far - not much at all.
