Totally agree, it's like this in so many tourneys. It's hard to think of a single event in the last year where protoss's were doing better than terran or zerg in the later stages. (To clarify, I mean an event where protoss made up a large part of the final 10 or 20 players)

MC, Huk and a few others seem to do well from time to time, but are very inconsistent with results. Really, I can't think of a single protoss player who has been consistent in results for even a period of 6 months, since Sc2 was released. We NEED a protoss hero, a macro god who can produce top 5 results in almost every event they enter. When you think of players like MVP, MKP, MMA, Bomber, Nestea, Losira, DRG, Stephano, what protoss player can you put in the same category? Huk or MC are the only ones who've had comparable results, but as I said they are not nearly as consistent (Seems like they either get 1st or don't make top 10)

Makes me a very sad and frustrated tossy. I feel like terran or zergs have so many people to root for and emulate. When I watch MC or huk their play often seems very risky, and they are willing to go for a lot of coin flips/all ins. I really hope a player like Stork or Bisu rises, who can be a top contender for as long as they play and be the toss "hope". Playing more of a safe and standard play style. Please don't think I have any disdain for MC or Huk, they are both great to watch and I am always rooting for them, but toss needs one of them (or someone else) to really step it up.

18:35 edt: NesTea 2-1 GanZi. "...NesTea tried another invasion with lings but didn't do a ton, and Jjakji turned around to take down NesTea's fourth before retreating, but not fast enough to escape NesTea's chasing baneling army..."

Jjakji jumping in on the action?! Awesome!
