I want to see some protoss like WhiteRa be able to do that kind of solid but still sometimes special tactics and perhaps funky style to win in GSL, perhaps someone that intelligent like Sage. However it wont be any of those simpson tosses, only hope rests in Alicia and MC.

Maybe

NaNiwa can kick some ass next season?? a Foreigner to be the second coming of Bisu, as the savior of Protoss would be awesome.

Before this tournament, however, we had only seen [Puzzle] in the GSTL, and he lost all four games that he participated in.

What!!??!

Puzzle was the original team league bonjwa in the ZOTAC cup, long before MMA, DRG, and the GSTL. He All-killed IM and oGs. ಠ_ಠ

At the time I'm reading this, I think the first battle report between Dream and Ready has some name mix-ups from time to time.

As for protoss, been seeing some excellent protoss come out of GSTL. Hope they make it in the main league next season.

I love the article, especially the writeup on the state of Protoss in the GSL. Puzzle and Sage have given me hope for future seasons, so hopefully we can see Puzzle make it into Code S in July and cause a splash in the next GSL, meanwhile Sage can do some great things in the latter half of this year provided he doesn't pull a DongRaeGu and be an incredible player that can't squeak past the Code B tournaments.

Fantastic Protoss write-up. Really hitting all the key points - I think Puzzle will be the only new blood that can catch people's attentions (I don't think Tassadar, and especially BanBans will ever do that).

While this was interesting to read, I do not have the curiosity to watch these CODE S games!

Lol, Leenock was in control of the Taldarim game vs Yoda the entire time. The only thing that he did sloppy in that game was he keep on clumping his Brood lords. ( Really if he magic boxed those things he would have destroyed Yoda's army with great efficiency.)

Sure he lost a couple Mutalisks to a bad rally but idk why everyone was flipping out about it. As far as Creep Spread goes, I haven't seen almost any zerg really make a good spread on Taldarim. Though ill hold back till i see Vibe play a game on that map.

Well this season in Code protoss has been dominating with rising stars like Puzzle, Tassadar, and vanvanth. Plus Huk, Naniwa, and Sage are all strong protoss who are soon gonna make a name for themselves in GSL

Great article! Not to be critical however I do believe there's a bit of little bit of confusion here

Choya proxies a pylon and warps in many zealots to attack Choya's 3rd. At the same time, Choya uses a warp prism to drop 3 sentries at Check's main to FF his ramp and uses his voids to harass Choya's main. However, Choya defends both attacks without losing his 3rd.

Yeah another problem is whenever there's a few Ps left in the later stages, they tend to knock each other out... P needs some real heros... there's some hopes for Sage (NHSH) Puzzle, Tassadar, Hero... Alicia to become top tier Ps who can really run riot but I've seen in Korea esp. Terrans are ravaging the early builds. In DreamHack and HSC 3 you saw sooo many late games and that's one of the reasons I think P's dominated... the Korean scene is soo aggressive and early greed is punished... perhaps they need to play safer? no idea... but I hope P doesn't became the same as they are in SC1... we all know the great Ts and Zs... very few Ps to speak of...
