Awesome read! I really hope there aren't as many huge upsets early in Code S for once, I want to see some of the best in the world really duke it out with each other. I don't know what I'm going to do if I see another thebest taking out the real best players in the world and stopping us from having a Nestea-MC or Nestea-MVP (nerdgasm) final.

Great to see such good players emerging in the GSL and GSTL. Can't wait to watch the VODS of Happy's and Puzzle's matches after getting some work done.

I hope Puzzle keeps doing well, the GSL is in serious need of new Protoss blood, as the wonderful treehugger has pointed out.

Thanks for the great write-up wax.
As for the up and coming Protoss players, it seems like good P players are coming from EU and especially China tbh. Naniwa, Sockeh, and White-ra are surely not up and comers, but have been doing very well internationally.

New P players from EU and China include: Sase is going to Korea due to Rakkaka road to Korea tourny, Huk (not a new player but only now really establishing himself over the past half year) who is in Code S and doing well so in recent international events, LoveCD and Lovett who did so well at the last Gigabyte Starswars. Maybe Protoss play has just stagnated a little bit due to the success that P's have had since 2011 began. No need to change BOs or strategy when you are winning, but now opponents have experience and begin tailor soft counter builds.
Korean P players besides MC still do very well, + Show Spoiler +

Excellent write-up. I find it quite interesting how Protoss is weak in Korea, yet strong in the foreigner scene, whereas this is vice versa for Terran and Zerg is sorta mixed. Gonna be great to see these newcomers fight their way to the top of Code A. Looking forward to watching Happy and Puzzle!

Puzzle will be the next bonjwa, protoss fans need not fear.
His only kryptonite will be oGsMC

great coverage, nice to read, very informative!

i absolutely agree on the Protoss Players Topic, although we have so good Protoss in EU/US who are not making much News nowadays, but will come back for sure (Kiwikaki f.e.)!

I think its a lil bit Blizzards fault for picking on the Protoss for multiple Patches, now theres noone with confidence and motivation left!

I've got my eyes on Sage/Puzzle. Tassadar hasn't shown me much so far, but we'll see.

Hyping up Puzzle's 500 apm feels kind of ridiculous to me. Was he really doing that many more useful actions than Sheth? He was obviously just spamming faster than him I don't think it's remotely possible that he could he doing that much faster than any other pros go and use it productively.

Good write up! As far as the lack of up-and-coming Protoss players, I think the GSTL is really the place to find that talent right now. Anyone who watched the recent NSHoSeo v. fOu GSTL match knows that a very smart, decision-based player showed some amazing potential. Hopefully we'll see a lot more of him in the future, but the road to Code S is so very long and arduous...

Thank you for the write up - interesting and entertaining as always.

Am I the only one that saw this?

+ Show Spoiler +
Choya gets 1 stargate and builds 3 voids for map control. Choya proxies a pylon and warps in many zealots to attack Choya's 3rd.

And then again:

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.

Now I feel like I'm misunderstanding this :/

However, Choya defends both attacks without losing his 3rd.

Choya keeps hims contain in his main and wins the game.

Nice read. Hope Puzzle will make it and Sage will go into code A next season. But the up and down matches are crazy hard this season (for both code A and code S players, only 2 of 5 players/group will advance (or stay))

That was a very nice read, well except the new makeup

I am so hoping that Puzzle or Tassadar can make an impact in the scene
