I think all the Protoss since RO16 are good candidates for best protoss of 2012; but really, the year just started, so I don't know if we could really start saying MMA and DRG are the best for their respective races in the year. So far, I indeed agree, but i believe it could still change if NesTea and Mvp were to come back, and they still have time, since this is only the first GSL of 2012. And right now I nominate PartinG and MC for best Protoss candidates for 2012 :D

MC vs DRG finals 2-4 calling it right now.
Cant believe only 1 zerg in the RO8 but if it was gonna be anyone that it would have to be DRG.

Wow that last paragraph got me. The idea that Nestea wanted DRG in his group and letting him prove himself. That was awesome. DRG has a godly ZvT and above average ZvZ. I'm still a little unconvinced of his ZvP, and with so many protoss in the round of 8, he'll have a tough road to the finals.

I don't see how you can give the crown to drg. He didn't win the last game where nestea was clearly ahead. 1 bad decision lost the game for nestea but that doesn't mean that drg is the better player because nestea lost that game, drg didn't win it

About time someone stepped up to say that MVP is no longer the best Terran. MVPs GSL titles were spread over 8 months, one of which was the questionable World Championship which contained half as many players, and only 8 Koreans.

MMA has managed to win two GSL titles in 3 months and is well on his way to a third, and has bested MVP in multiple finals and even shamed him once or twice.

Best Terran 2012:MMA
Best Zerg 2012:DRG
Best Protoss 2012: TBD by GSL Season 1


Agreed, good will can only extend so far. MVP and Nestea are still easily top 5 however they simply have not been looking as hot as before. I don't doubt they can bounceback (MVP more so than Nestea) however they'll really need to lift up their game a few notches if they want to take their crown back undisguisedly

Even if you want to dispute that Nestea has slightly better ZvZ (which is a reach at the moment), DRG blows Nestea out of the water in ZvT and is much better ZvP. All Nestea had left was his ZvZ and he couldn't beat DongRaeGu.

Thanks for the write up btw. Love the reads as usual XD. Not sure if this is the right place to talk about it, but what was with nestea vs genius games. Nestea just had to use mutas?? Even though they were so unfavorable...

What an entertaining night of games to watch. I was completely impressed by DRG. Seeing him take down NesTea, then just dismantle MKP was just amazing. So unfortunate that MKP and NesTea have to drop to Code A Hope to see both back in Code S for next season.

With DRG hitting Parting in the round of 8...it seems like his road to the GSL finals is probably one of the hardest in the history of the league. Two insanely stacked groups in R32 and R16, and then a supremely good protoss player on the metric rise to fame. No fluff like our last GSL champion who got to the finals for basically free.

As much as I feel bad for DRG, I do think that this tough road will cement him as the greatest player of our time if it happens that he wins the entire championship in the end.

However, he had been such a storied champion, and such a loved one that we could not bear to see him go. We removed doubt from our minds, and prayed that he would come back the way we remembered him. He could not have stepped down peacefully, not even if he had tried. We wouldn't have let him


I don't get why you guys write this when you were basically digging his grave in Ro32. That said, Nestea's decision making is still amazing in his game against DRG, but his mechanics and execution is just lacking which is just sad...

It's almost like watching Boxer in a way where he just wins with smart play, but falters in the fundamentals of the game.

Another MMA vs DRG grand final would be a dream come true. These two are destined to be rivals - just look at the impact on the game they both have. The #1 TvZ in the world vs the #1 ZvT in the world. How fantastic would that be?

As far as I can tell, it's what they use when they want to make a point about what the games tell us about the evolution of the SC2 scene but can't come up with an appropriate title for the rant. See this post and how the comments are titled "The race for Protoss President: MC", "By the way, the best PvTs ever." and "1/3"; one of these three didn't have an inspired title :p

Weird that you'd say this when he lost the final game against DRG as a direct consequence of bad decision making, sending all of his infestors off to harass while leaving his Roaches hanging out in the middle of the map where they were chain-fungaled and easily overpowered.
