Polt has the weakest macro play of all time, his playstyle is borderline cheesy, if he can't somehow get an advantage early and early-mid game, he's doneski, i' hardly recall a game of Polt with more than 2-3 bases. This is why he always gets pulverized against players who plays like a rock (MVP) who aren't affected by his cheese. I wouldn't put him higher than Losira is all i am saying.

Awesome write up. I lost count of how many times you made me laugh out loud while reading it, I wish I could quote some especially favorite lines but it was actually all good stuff. Kudos for that. Keep up the power rankings, I think you did a very good job with them.

"Daddy, how did the Protossaurs go extinct?" "A giant EMP hit the earth"

Great writeup as allways. I am surprised tho that people are continuously so surprised by the banelings vs thor thing. Any Terran who has played mass Thor mech was shocked the first time it happened to them, but then recognized that its pretty much the best response since thor armies are allways clumped up and its literally impossible to split them quickly. Plus it completele negates mass scv repair obviously.

Out of every single Protoss to EVER make a GSL semifinal, they are all either out ENTIRELY from the GSL, or...they're HongUn.

Made me lol. We need some sc2 dragons to emerge plz.

Don't agree with DRG being in the top 10 of anything at all at the moment and until he can get past RO16 in either Code A or Code S, when compared to everyone else in that list is vulnerable and weak.

Of course I'll half take it back if he makes it through to RO8 and take it all back if he makes it through to the finals.

That and not having MKP in the list is just downright insane, his achieved more individually than most of the others in the list with the exception of NesTea and MVP. Replace Polt with MKP,

MVP rank 1 sounds about right

. Great write-up, I enjoyed it a lot. The power ranking is also very accurate.

I've been to "haunted places" where people in the past have supposedly seen ghosts or whatever the fuck. No problem. It's like walking into a bank. Business as usual. Even if these ghosts were real, they can go ride a camel to Kentucky for all I care.

But the ghosts I do fear are men in cloaking suits, with man-portable EMPs that are apparently so advanced that they can defeat Protoss electronic and energy systems (even ones that are natural (like psionic) and not artificial) which should be EMP-proof given protoss technology, and are responsible for most of my PvT losses that go into the mid-late game.

MVP #1 described as "out of left field"??? really??? He's amazing, and the only man who can compete with Nestea right now. There is arguement as to who is better, but neither choice could ever be "out of left field."

I remember when MC would absolutely have topped that list... so sad.
