Protoss: MC
Terran: Goody ftw!!
Zerg: Violet

Dimaga played so timidly in my opinion. It really felt like he was uncomfortable attacking in every circumstance. It was unimpressive. But Violet playing solidly and taking out MarineKing's shenanigans was definitely nice to see. And I don't think anyone expected Goody to do that well. JYP also was pretty impressive, cutting it dangerously close with the Obamatoss.

MC, Nerchio, and Sound for me. MC just rofl-cruised through everyone. Nerchio looked really solid, finally falling to eventual champ MC, but he could have gotten to the finals in a different bracket, imo. Sound just came out of nowhere and looked great.

Also, props to Destiny and InControl for at least being entertaining casters, even if they really sucked in game.

Grubby, MC didn't impress me personally because I expected it.

Grubby had a chance to take the entire tournament, and in my opinion played better than any foreigner (atleast with Dimaga), i've known how skilled he was for a while, but still very impressive for me.

Goody didn't impress, he has poor mechanics. I fail to see how people can believe that goody was more impressive than Sound in HSC 4, the way Sound played the maps was awesome, he's a very smart player.

I'd also say viOlet impressed more than any Zerg, mainly because few people had high hopes for him to do well, and most didn't think he would get past group stages.

Also, how is MC impressive? He was one of the favorites for the tournament..

I knew nothing about Grubby aside from him being a legend (?) War3 player. For some reason, I always had the narrow-minded impression that he was a bit of a punkish guy, but after actually seeing and hearing him on stream, he seems like a genuinely cool guy. Also, his casting was probably my favorite alongside Ret's. I liked that he acknowledged good play and actually sounded genuine about it.

For me it were Grubby, Naama/Sound and Dimaga.
On the other hand the casting trio that impressed me the most was... Ret, Thorzain and Destiny. Really great casting, not counting "shy start" of that cast

Grubby? Seriously? How is he as impressive as MC (first place, 4-0 in finals)? How is he nine times more impressive than JYP (third place)? Grubby moved up exactly one round, after getting through his placement round that had no Koreans in it. He played very well in his games, but I think this is more a fanboy-based poll than a results-based poll. I guess there's nothing wrong with that, but it just makes me a bit confused to think that the guy who got around 10th in the tournament was the most impressive Protoss, when at least three other Protosses outperformed him (and it's not like Grubby only got knocked out early because he played a Bo1 against the eventual winner of the tournament). The group he got knocked out in was the easiest group as well >.>

MC was the most impressive Toss with Grubby in a close second. MC looked as dominating as he did a year ago. Grubby looks like he is finally coming to form.

Goody was the most impressive Terran. There is always that joke about him playing mech all the time and I feel that he did a nice job in showing that he has more tricks up his sleeve.

Nerchio. I am surprised that he is as far down on the list as he is. He took out more Koreans than any other foreigner in the tournament. And he did so in a pretty dominant fashion.

I was impressed that Goody could win games with Bio (vs Grubby, Real and JYP). It still looked weird and bad sometimes, but he never got 2-0ed by a protoss and I expected him to lose every map against the protoss players there. I was pretty sad that he got a group with two protoss in the second round.
I knew that his TvT and TvZ are good enough against every (foreign) Terran and Zerg expect Nerchio, because his openings are really strong and his mech is really solid. I still hope he finds a way to mech against protoss, because Bio doesn't fit him.

He's the favorite because his skill is mind-blowing, and that impresses. The series vs JYP showed amazing micro, and his other sets were brutal stomps.

Grubby impressed me with his casting. He was a treat to listen to.
