Snow's recent success with reaver micro in no way makes him the best protoss of all time. Still far behind the likes of Bisu, Jangbi, Mini, etc if you're talking about all time best. Even if you're talking about current best Protoss, Mini is still ahead of him.

SnOw is the best protoss ever. But also the one protoss without premier wins. Best =/= most accomplished. Anyone can quote me on that whenever they want because I consider it an objective fact based on largely the online but also the offline results from the past two years. Soulkey is just standing in his way and stealing his spotlight. No other player has managed to match Soulkey as well as SnOw has, except Light coming close to it. Most competition happens online, so I think we should put more focua on online performance to determine our power rankings and such.

Shame on you RJ ^^

Man, whatever happened to JangBi? I feel like he never made a return after Kespa was shut down. That being said, this reminded me of one of the greatest hype videos ever made just before the last ever OSL final took place back in 2012 by one of my favourite english casters NukeTheStars -

Jangbi left at the perfect time. Had 2 legendary runs back-to-back and rode off into the sunset. If he came back he'd be just another Protoss like Bisu is now.

Also, does anyone know what the deal with Snow's coughing is? Been constantly coughing on stream and even during ASL matches for awhile now...

Best - a centaur? WTF... Everyone knows he is a gorilla. Anyway...

The greatest ever ASL was when Flash went random - nothing will top that, but this ASL19 might just be the "second Best" ever.

There is so much nuanced discussion that could be had between smarter players and fans of Brood War that enhances the viewing experience of these tournaments, but it always devolves into a small group of people going back and forth and none of it is ever interesting to read. It's basically written and signed validation for the people who criticize and over-generalize gaming communities.
I'd much rather watch Congo where at least the violent apes get fucking owned in the end. Here it's just like pressing start on a single player game where I'm face-checking a brick wall over and over.
It's no big secret why many smart and interesting people stopped posting on forums a long time ago. What could be an oasis in a desert is just bad in a different way.

BTW, if one group of balance whiners somehow conclusively defeats the other group in an argument, literally nothing happens. And if something were to happen, the game would be ruined. So all of this back and forth isn't just annoying and uninteresting, it's potentially harmful. And also flares up my epcot-globe-sized hemorrhoids.

Jangbi was a right person at the right time kinda thing.

Bisu is trying to relive passed glory
Stork is grandfather aura

BeSt was the protagonist of this season.

Bad ending.

No chance he makes it back to a finals ever again. Not after this heartbreak. A player like BeSt needed EVERYTHING to go right to get here and I just cant see that happening again unforunately

lmao Rain's description so true

unfortunately with how discouraged he looked in the RO16 and RO8 this season I doubt he ever taps into that potential again. he is truly the only one who can beat Soulkey

Rumor has it that Jangbi's family owns a successful business, so Jangbi likely took the helm over from his parents. Maybe jinjin can confirm.

I cannot believe how people don't see how Best revolutionised PvZ with his DA play in ASL15 Ro8. That was 4 seasons ago. Do you remember how he dispatched Action that season? He is also the match of Stork in crazy berserking in PvT. He is really the match of Soulkey who himself reinvented queens.

Best never revolutionized anything. People only associate DA with him because he does it more than others. In fact SoulKey is hyper-aware of it and easily outplays Best's DA by always having two groups of mutas.

We would see about that in a corner base map with zero maneuverability for mutalisks. SK didn't beat Best using mutalisks. Best made a mistake by expanding into SK's 3 oclock direction.

I'm not talking about why Best did or didn't win games. I'm talking about your claim. DA is not Best's invention, he just likes to use it.

Best actually made shuttle templar popular vs terran. But vs zerg he didnt set a trend.

I like to hold onto the hope that he can return and go again. Yes he's an emotional player, but also incredibly skilled and got where he got this season on grit and ability. So why not again? I don't know. I wouldn't count him out. I was cheering for him so hard - I watched half the finals, then slept, and spent all night dreaming of different ways the games could go 😅 so I know it's hard to get past the disappointment. But really, why not? Why can't he go again?

Yes it is. Watch this game and tell me if there ever was a pro who used DAs like he does. He shuts zerg swarm dead in its tracks.

All of the top protoss players have done it the way he does it. The only reason why you don't see it from them is because zerg players are generally cautious enough to not move their whole army in one singular clump right into a heavily fortified protoss base. Action decided to be funny and we got a hilarious moment. There's nothing revolutionary about that.
What you're showing us is not a highlight of Best, but a low point of Action. You're just perceiving it differently because you don't know what it looks like when a zerg player actually plays the game well.

Best never revolutionized anything. People only associate DA with him because he does it more than others. In fact SoulKey is hyper-aware of it and easily outplays Best's DA by always having two groups of mutas.

We would see about that in a corner base map with zero maneuverability for mutalisks. SK didn't beat Best using mutalisks. Best made a mistake by expanding into SK's 3 oclock direction.


I'm not talking about why Best did or didn't win games. I'm talking about your claim. DA is not Best's invention, he just likes to use it.

Yes it is. Watch this game and tell me if there ever was a pro who used DAs like he does. He shuts zerg swarm dead in its tracks.

All of the top protoss players have done it the way he does it. The only reason why you don't see it from them is because zerg players are generally cautious enough to not move their whole army in one singular clump right into a heavily fortified protoss base. Action decided to be funny and we got a hilarious moment. There's nothing revolutionary about that.
What you're showing us is not a highlight of Best, but a low point of Action. You're just perceiving it differently because you don't know what it looks like when a zerg player actually plays the game well.

It is interesting to be citing the game as Action's low point when I have watched all game to see an Action victory. You guys really don't see eye to eye with the viewpoints you present. No zerg sees fault in zerg perspective, it is always the next strike that will break the protoss front.

mtcn doesn't differentiate between concepts. Earlier he just proved it by associating giving up a game with throwing, prediction with analysis. Now he thinks getting some good maestroms = revolutionize PvZ. When people talk about a trend he talks about one single game. With that way of thinking of course he considers best most skilled and most accomplished the same concept, hence his claim about Shuttle.

That's why it's so difficult to keep up with his thoughts. Whether that is his intention or not, it makes him troll-like and just distracts the thread further and further.

People can agree or disagree with me but I presented well articulated thoughts about the games in the finals and semifinals. It's the shitposts from the Zerg fans like mtcn, eon and sziky that downgrades the thread quality.
