The idea that any match up is easiest to master is absurd. The best and most perfect elements of BW are that in which it is a game that is impossible to master. Also, everyone has their strengths. One could say Bisu "mastered" pvz and that his pvt leaves something to be desired compared to that of Stork or Reach. Every person has the ability to play their best under a myriad of circumstances, but to master a match up or BW in general is another story.

Anyone saying "Bisu's PvT leaves something to be desired compared to that of Stork or Reach" should do a reality check :D

I am a huge Bisu fan, and there is no doubt his PvT during his golden years was a lot worse than Storks. Bisu did absolutely demolish PvT in the last few years of proleague, but I remember vividly the frustration of watching him give away games/series in PvT during the 06-10 era. Thinking back its actually really weird that he wasnt better, his early/mid game PvT was phenomenal, but his late game was always "bad". So many games he was well ahead, before he did one of his classic suicide his entire army into a Terran wall into a loss. He was also always bad at playing carriers for some reason (something Stork excelled at). If Bisu had Storks lategame decision making and large army control he would have a lot more Starleagues to his name I believe.

From the 6 dragons Bisus PvT is one of the worst.
Best is one of the best vs terran, but he is rather appalling vs zerg.
If you would combine Bisus PvZ with Bests PvT and Storks buildorders then we would get a perfect toss.

is always funny to me how overrated american players are, except for Nony, Frozen and Idra at some point, all the others were crappy compared to Testie/Mondi/Draco

Nony and Idra both had higher peak levels (both in terms of absolute and relative skill) than Froz. Froz might well have been one of the most naturally gifted players (of anyone), but he never dedicated his life to brood war in the way the aforementioned two players did.

Froz was something special though. Managed to trick lots of people, including top nonkoreans, into believing that he was actually Nada smurfing.

I think it was me, froz, veg and Raszi, maybe someone else, who smurfed as a korean proteam during the WGTour period where a lot of top koreans actaully did play WGTour. I dunno if me, veg or raszi really tricked anyone, and we picked lesser known names anyway, but Froz pretended to be Nada, and he was like 33-0 with 350 apm in every game, and I remember reading posts from top foreigners at the time thinking he was the real one. I don't even know if it was ever debunked.

This was like 13-14 years ago so I don't remember everything, but from quick googling we must have pretended to be Toona SG. Froz pretended to be Nada and I pretended to be Salmosa, our collective team stats were something like 100-3 (we all stopped playing before reaching higher ranks where it became more difficult).
