Hmmm... Genius is playing well but I don't think it means he's the best protoss player. He's just the winningest protoss at the moment. I think he has to show a little more potential or at least a championship before you can start taking contendership of "best protoss" away from people like MC and HerO =/

Genius the best Toss already? No, not even close. That's victory-day hype. MMA beating MVP in GSL October and the Blizzard Cup didn't instantly make him the best Terran. Genius is still going to have to at least win a championship to even have a claim to the title.

Go Alive! Deny team MVP a championship and I shall love you eternally!

Edit: I don't think HerO should be considered a contender at all. Yeah, I love TL, but HerO has never even made code S.
Life is too short to take it seriously.

I'm not going to jump the gun on claiming who the best Protoss is, but if we only judge by championships only MC has won a GSL, no?

I'd also like to know who has the most consistent Protoss performance aside from MC, since I'm not overly familiar with GSL statistics.

Would you like a side of salad to go with your main, Head of NesTea?


The slayers of MMA, MVP, MC and Nestea fight it out eh?

Great quote!!!

I paused for a moment to think about it:
MMA - Alive
MVP - Gumiho
MC - Genius
Nestea - DRG

Protoss seems kind of hopeless against excellent Zerg such as Dongraegu and Stephano.
Once your gates/2 stargates/DT push are blocked, you're behind.
And if you don't do anything and try to safely take a third, you're behind as well.

Stephano himself believes that, given the current metagame, PvZ is a joke.
All eyes are on Genius now.
Hope he will find something which doesn't rely on the Zerg messing up his control or not anticipating a
timing push...


Genius says 'You're wrong'.

The part I hate most is that if crossfire is in the map pool then Protoss are one game down. I don't think I've seen P win a PvZ on crossfire.


Could someone please explain to me why Crossfire is in the GSL?

It has got to be one of the worst maps I've ever seen, in its history it has either favored Protoss when deathballs were popular, or was Terran dominated in PvZ, and now it is the anti protoss map with 1-1-1 and muta play dominating

It has never produced balanced games, even when Nestea and SC duked it out, it was just everyone wondering how Nestea could win on such a Terran favored map.

I'm very curious as to the opinion of someone who actually knows what they are talking about as to why Crossfire is not removed as an imba map.... It doesn't seem to be balanced at all....


Crossfire being a Terran favoured map in TvZ is a myth - it definitely favours Zerg.

The title of best current Protoss player is passed so quickly

Shouldnt MC has more money and more titles than all Korean protoss put together, think about that as you question whos president. But in sport of "what have you done for me lately" I can understand the genius bandwagon. He's playing fantastic.

Hoping for DRG though. IMO he plays practically perfect and perfectly abusive. As an MC fan I appreciate that.
MC for president

As much as i respect DRG and Genious, i really wanted to see MVP_sC in the final four. At any rate, best of luck to them both. Looks like team MVP is sitting if a very good place to finally get a Code S trophy.

If we are going to have a Genius vs DRG finals, I don't mind who wins, I only care if one of them are going to troll each other when it happens

Simply because Genius has a few good performances doesn't automatically make him the best protoss in the world, even temporarily. You're wrong, and you should apologize.

I don't think so. I put my hope in Sage and Genius to finally overcome MC's protoss presidency. Genius seems to have done it. The inaugural Blizzcon champion is back.

On the other hand, even Genius shouldn't be able to stop DRG in a longer match series. DongRaeGu wants the title. He needs it to break the kong line. He needs to prove all nay-sayers wrong.
You don't choose to play zerg. The zerg choose you.

Manner mule. So funny.

Ro8 was pretty bad.
TvT was coin flippy. MMA and Alive both played poor.
Genius rolled MC

Gumiho Puzzle and DRG Parting were good matches. But nothing special.
I had a good night of sleep.
