The lack of CatZ is saddening. He's by far my favourite, even though he isn't as strong at standard games. Though a "standard" CatZ game always involves crazy stuff. | ||

But I have to give some credit to Killer who had a really good unit composition and that money fungal towards the end. As for the poll, I'm glad to see that most ppl agree there is no king. Maybe this GSL can change that  | ||

He is determined to follow a strict macro style, and this is certainly the most effective way to play. His strictness to this has been a weakness in the past, because it makes his play predictable and vulnerable to every cheese in the book. But the point is, as he plugs more and more holes and perfects his general strategy, he will be unstoppable. An aggressive strategy like July uses does not have much long term potential. Aggression can always be stopped if you know it is coming. But how do you stop someone from out macroing you? By putting pressure and hoping he isn't prepared for it. In the past, he often wasn't prepared, but one day he will be the undisputed Zerg king imo. Indeed let us hope he doesn't ever switch races (: Every player will develop their style as in bw. The game will change and keep changing. But as we've seen idra has still been a top player throughout all the changes. We can only hope one day he is king. I will say idra has the best macro in NA by a long shot maybe even the world. Ret is also very good but he hasn't been performing to his best ability lately. Idra macro king ret is drone king lol. | ||

Have shown anyone he's potencial and is my favorite to win GSL May. 3:IMNestea. Have been a major dissappointment lately, but he is still GSL 2 Champ. 4: WemadefoxMoon. Has completely desimated anyone in the NASL. 5: Idra. He is probatly the best macro zerg around and have beaten MVP. Only reason for not being in top 3 is he's major weakness to cheese How can you put someone who isn't even in Code A at the no.4 zerg spot? And what cheese, I almost never see IdrA lose to cheese anymore. Stop using stuff from 3 months ago to justify a rank. Anyways, I'd vote Losira. Nestea is starting to slow with age and better players coming around and July is unpredictable but weak mechanic wise | ||

He's not perfect but he almost always win and uses some really innovative builds even in the gsl under pressure (like the infestor/baneling game ZvP). I enjoy watching him play quite a bit. | ||

Yeah, 2 Stargate Void Ray but he lost almost all his VRs without really killing anything, and after that got his 3rd denied for a while. It wasn't very refined. | ||

Idra is no doubt good, but people need to remember hes the best "foreign zerg" and not quite as good as alot of korean zergs. Sadly i think none of the players quite have all the traits necessary to become king of zerg sadly. . How can you say that. Idra was the second best zerg in korea as he left. Only nestea was better. And the only zerg who showed good play since then is losira and maybe July but thats questionable. | ||

Nestea is starting to slow with age and better players coming around and July is unpredictable but weak mechanic wise July is anything but weak mechanic wise man . The reason he won an OSL in 2008 was because he kept his mechanics strong throughout the years while other old school players have faded away , because of mechanics . He is one of the best mechanic players of all time . Don't know how he macroes in SC2 , but in BW he macroed by sound alone , whenever he hears a unit completing he instantly made an other unit . His micro has always been one of the best in the scene . He is obviously no Jaedong right now , but he is certainly one of the best mechanic players in SC2 up there with MVP and MC . I don't think him not spreading creep is a sign of weak mechanics . He spreads creep when he feels like it , just not all the time . | ||

Because of Nestea's mini slump and other zergs not having results , you could very well argue that he is the best or top 3 in the world . Nestea , Losira and July are the top 3 zergs in the world . Sorry , but saying a foreign zerg is better then July is just foreign bias or haters hating on his style at this point . Dimaga , Idra , Sen skill wise are probably up there with him , but they haven't shown anything note wordy to place them over him . Nada is also one of the best terrans in the world easily top 10 in the world despite not playing the game full time . And the only terran who i can say is certainly better then him is MVP . | ||

NesTea, July, LosirA, Dimaga and, MorroW are better zergs than him in all round play. Don't worry about it. His fans would vote for him over jaedong given the chance. | ||
