To me, most impressive Protoss would definitely Grubby. I could look into all of his build order and i could smell kimchi out of it... the trip to korea of his clearly paid for itself, he has improved so much and i think the only reason for this is bc he is a RTS genius @_@...

Most impressive terran must be goody, i was really surprised when he demonstrate his mech play vs Cloud. From the turret timing to the scv repair, everything looks really really solid and he execute the strat with a really low apm. SICK :D.

Zerg must be mTwDimaga. His game 1 vs JYP demonstrated his decision making is incredible in combine with top tier mechanic. But i knew that already, I was more impressed of his smile :D, its addicting even though the guy is buff and real scary xD.

I answered MC, Sound, and Nerchio. MC, because, well, he cakewalked through the tournament. Sound because he is a Code B Terran that is relatively unknown (I can say I have never heard of him before HSC), but people will definitely keep an eye on after his showing. Nerchio because he looked air tight until he was pulled apart by MC. I suppose honorable mentions, for me, would be Grubby, who has never looked this good in his SC2 career before, Dimaga, who played exceedingly well, and Goody, who seems to get better every time I see him play.

but MC and Nerchio performance is really expected. In the most recent interview with HuK when he came back to Canada for holidays, he said the best Korean Protoss is still MC. Not Hero, not JYP, not HuK but MC.... clearly HuK knew something that we dont :O..

MC, Goody and Diamaga (although i felt bad for not being able to choose violet too)
out of the 3 of those goody impressed me the most, hes a guy that gets a lot of attention for being awful and having awful mechanics but it deff shows thats hes improved on both of those. His mech play was amazing and absolutely a joy to watch, and you cant really say that about a lot of mech players. His overall decision making and tactics was what really caught my attention. but overall his games were really fun to watch, esp with the GREAT casting that the event had
What do you mean you heard me during the night, these are quiet pants!

Who impressed me in HSC4:

MKP - Awesome class in asking for a regame in a won match that dropped out, which would have won him the series.
Rotterdam - I love the precise and intelligent casting
Socke - right in there with Rotterdam
Sound - I'm a believer! Awesome breakout!

Grubby, tie between Sound/Goody and Dimaga.

MC's win might be thought of as impressive if you're considering his slump, but he was easily the favorite to win this, along with MarineKing.

Anyone who chooses Dimaga must have missed the series against JYP :\

I'd go with MC for stomping everyone BUT JYP...and go with Goody due to his insane style trumping everyone and knocking them off tilt

Grubby - Showing really solid stuff the more and more he gets his strategy worked out. Also did great casting, knows how to handle the mic.

Ret - Amazing casting, guy knows exactly wtf he is talking about, does so in an articulate manner, and keeps focus. A++ Job.

Socke - literally can never write this guy off as "another foreigner". He really impressed in quite a few matches.

Attero - Did a pretty good job casting as well.

Real - just knew that he was good, but that good, wel done!

GoOdy - he played bio in TvP and was able to take maps from koreans, nothing more to add

Dimaga - his ZvP impressed me the most, the games against JYP were so thought out through the whole game, really skilled guy!


and ofc Take for making this possible! cant wait what awaits us at HSCV

Most impressed by MC and Grubby's play as protoss. Violet showed impressive skill especially against MKP on terminus, that was so amazing to watch. Goody and Sound as terrans were phenomenal.

On the casting couch I enjoyed the Korean troll trio, the guys made one helluva show, huge props to MKP/MC and their back and forth banter. Grubby, Ret, HasuObs and Attero showed amazing casting skills, they were the most articulate and fun to watch.

MKP for his great sportsmanship.

Last but not least: Dennis for making the HomeStory Cup such a great ride.

Dimaga beind considered the most impressive Zerg after that performance is beyond me, soooo many basic mistakes. Violet was a whole class higher, and Nerchio wasn't any worse either.

Sound and MC for other races.

Grubby played very good, but MC takes the Protoss crown for me from HSC4.
Goody was excellent. Really liked the way he played.
And finally - Dimaga. That guy just keeps his performance level no matter the situation.

I really like the whole event. There were some great games, some great casting and some great jokes :D
HSC is getting better and better. Can't wait for HSC5 !

I was highly impressed by Adelscott. Yes, he wasn't captain "Deep Run" but what can I say, I am a fan :D. And the man qualified, too.

First of cause GoOdy, because he is the hero of all casual gamers. He is unique, popular and winning games. A very rare combination in the SC2-scene. For zerg I would vote for Nerchio, he was the only player beating a good protoss player. MC is for sure a real pro-toss.

Edit: Delphi should be noted, played better then everyone would had expected.

Impressed as in surprised, because I didn't expect them to play on a certain level:
Terran - Naama. Played some really sweet games, his 1 proxy rax pressure against Dimaga was just fantastic.
Protoss - JYP. Never heard of him before being aquired by EG, didn't expect such a performance. Korean Toss being boss.
Zerg - Violet. I was quite disappointed with Zerg since I felt Stephano was playing way worse than I expected, Ret disappointed as well. Violet however impressed me with his aggressive play, I can't believe how much he was able to do off 2 base, especially since I personally feel like I give up a game if I haven't taken my third by at least 5 minutes if a toss FFEs.
