Everyone knows JD is the best >.> He's just despicably, perversely good. Too skilled for his own good. I just love Stork, he's such a baller. He doesn't win gold very often, but he's incredibly consistent and he plays the manliest race, so yeah. He's not as manly as the mantoss, but he has his own qualities. Poor Bisu >: He's awesome too but no one likes him. Flash is insanely boring, lol macro and only one build that he uses, because, as he said in some interview, "it wins games". See, this is what's killing the sport right there. Too many progamers these days are less about fun, entertaining games and more about doing the same build over and over and over and over because it wins the most. I know it's because the players are pressured by their coaches/etc, but still. It's awful. | ||

And bisu/stork/jaedong/flash been dominating since the downfall of savior and it with flash and stork on the rise again, it looks like its going to remain that way. at least two of the four are always on top of any other players, including fantasy and effort. fantasy and effort arn't fading away like the opening, and maybe fantasy and effort's time will come later, but not now. not now my friend.

And I'm not sure how people can still think he's basically a macrobot when his TvZ and TvT have always been pure sex if your more concerned about good play and less on gimmicks like wasting time so you can get nukes like Fantasy did in that game against Hoejja. | ||

But now it's more like Stork and I always liked Flash, his style is unique. I don't know what's so brilliant about Jaedong though, his recent ZvP is looking rather like Julyzerg copy who I admire more. Storks PvZ micro is absolutely amazing. + Show Spoiler + I bet he'll rape Jaedong in WCG finals!. Edit : Oh and poll is not very accurate imo, because toss fan's must split between two nearly same popular heroes... | ||

His builds, timings are all standard. But the reason he is so good, is because he does the standard stuff so damn well. So if you are looking for something new/creative or cheese/unexpected, Flash is boring. If you are looking for someone to demonstrate standard Terran play(standard means generally accepted as the best approach) at its peak of perfection, Flash is your man. So I guess someone like Bisu is good for people who are new to the game and don't understand the finer points like macro and positioning cause he is fun to watch when he cheeses. I guess with Flash, its easy for someone who somewhat understands the game to greatly appreciate his skillz, but he is a lot less exciting to watch than an aggressive play. | ||

His turtle playing style is no fun at all but it is very amazing that he is so good at defending. Even though i agree that they style he plays with doesn't seem like it would be fun to watch, I see him as the most entertaining of the 4 just because of how he controls the game. And i play zerg xD. | ||

Last actual NEW TvZ build i've seen came from Flash so i dunno what you are talking about really. At elast i've never seen anyone else do goliath into mnm unless you want to correct me? Theres only so much creative and innovative builds you can do rather than just stick to perfect solid play.. as we've seen by Fantasy clever build-orders will only get you so far. | ||

Have you actually seen his recent games? His TvZ is hyper aggressive (watch him completely nullify hero's 2 Hatch Muta by moving out with his marines), and I wouldn't call his 5 (!) dropships against Hyun completely standard. In fact, several of the games he has won has been due to unorthodox timings as opposed to standard. | ||

Seriously? How did CJ get to face Hwaseung in the PL Playoffs? EffOrt rolled Stork. + Show Spoiler + Why did SKT1 win the championship? Because fantasy beat Jaedong twice. + Show Spoiler + A player doesn't need to win a starleague a year ago to be considered one of the game's best players at the moment. Both fantasy and EffOrt deserve to be included in this discussion, easily. Calm and ZerO probably as well. If- no, when either of these four defeat one of the previous four, it's not an upset. Moreover, to say that B/S/J/F have been dominating since the downfall of sAviOr is just plain inaccurate. Just this last spring and summer, Flash and Stork weren't looking so hot. Again, you can't make this cut and dry, it just isn't. | ||
