EPTAlso it would be nice to mention FruitDealer should be a contender, since he was the first person to give hope to the Swarm. Yes, he has been playing very sloppy... but imo, he has accomplished more than IdrA.

IN terms of money earned playing SC2 Nestea>Fruitdealer>IdrA>July> In Terms of Placement in the GSL Nestea>Fruitdealer>July>Losira=IdrA In Terms of Fan's IdrA=Nestea Right now there is no Zerg King. Terran's have a King for right now and thats MVP. Bomber is closing in on him and MKP has his followers but 90% of Terrans agree its MVP leading he way. As far as Protoss King, a lot will say MC. (I personally don't think he is) But stats will argue against that. | ||

MC seems to be way ahead of all the other protoss players. Then again I would say his results alone mean he is the current "Protoss King." If he is significantly better than the rest, it just seems like the right title for him. Who else do you feel is close or deserving? | ||

Right now July, Sen, Dimaga, and Losira are in a blood feud for the king's throne and their Lord's grace. | ||

Difference is July just makes units at random times sand attacks, he plays quite blind. If you watch vods, he will just usually get behind, make units and kill or die. Crossfire vs huk was impressive though. | ||

Not only does he have the best play, he's had the most success to go with it with one GSL win (fingers crossed that's soon two) a GSL round of 4, a round of 8 and at least another final. There is just no justification at all of putting any other Zergs, Korean or foreign on Nestea's level.

In my opinion he just has insane game sense for when he sees a viable opening. Most July losses involve him getting hit by timing pushes, the vast majority of his big "it's time" all in/pushes are successful. Where July lacks is in Nestea's "I defend four warp gate with one zergling and a spore crawler" defence. | ||

It was five gate+stargate if i remember correctly, but if he did that vs a real player and not choya even Nestea would have lost that. But I do agree that Nestea has some sick defensive play as zerg, he is the king of Zerg right now. | ||

He has the best macro (alongside IdrA), the best unit control in offence (alongside Losira) and the area he really dominates all other Zergs is in defending pushes, Nestea on defence is just ridiculous, I've no idea how he holds some of the things he does. Nestea and Losira's unit control is actually kinda bad ;p Idra probably has the best muta control I've seen, but he still falters with ling/bane/infestor sometimes. I don't think there's any Zerg out there that has top notch control yet . | ||

Choya is still a Korean grand masters level player and I'm confident every Zerg in the world except Nestea would have lost to that push at the time. Just look at those SC pushes in games 2/5 the other day, there's very, very few Zergs (arguably none) who wouldn't have lost those games, SC 3-0'd Losira for a reason. | ||

IdrA = King of the West Bias goes (rightfully) to the East. Entirely possible that IdrA could pull an upset, but not probable given strength of current competition and history. | ||

Also I'm an IdrA fanboy so it'd be cool for him to become a stronger contender for it also. | ||
