Great read, haji. I was just talking to a friend about the resurgence of protoss in this ODT. I can't wait, really. The protosses are the ones that really put on a show. Anytime's making sure his presence isn't being forgotten and Bisu simply cannot be extinguished right now. But at the end of the day, I know anyone with a soul is pulling for Reach. I agree with your generational breakdown. I'm a big fan of most on that list, and am excited to see more of the "4th gens." Jangbi, in particular, caught my attention some time ago.
Another thing on my mind: Free's PvT should not be downplayed either. There was a godly clip of his dragoon vs mine micro on Longinus last season. My sentiments exactly that he hasn't gotten enough exposure to prove himself a great, although I think he's gotten the opportunities. He just needs to keep his runs alive and get some good games in.
I really am mostly rooting for protoss this minor league season. Fuck you terran, and forgive me, my overlords!

With the exception of maybe 3-4 of those players, thats a pretty strong group of Protoss.

Stork and Kingdom are the ones I wish could advance.
I don't even care much for the others, but Bisu and Anytime are of couse the other two.

Still, I wait for nothing more than seeing Kingdom finish top 4 once again, and once again showing why he is amongst the greatest old school players the game has ever known.

I'm looking forward to a Bisu vs. Sea (terran) matchup. Same team and Sea has really strong TvP. Still, I think Bisu's PvT is being touted as too much of a weakness recently only because his PvP and PvZ is too strong.

He still knows how to play PvT with the best of them among the top Protoss players.
For PvP, seriously if he gets to the mid-game, the opponents chances are slim to none.

Other Protoss players have mirrored his PvZ build of late but with only moderate success, its anything but a one-trick pony. It's his incorporation of what that build is capable of combined with already strong core play that makes HIS use of the build so effective. Adding abuse of Cannons, Corsairs, Dts to his Dragoon, Zealot, Templar, Shuttle/Reaver play is sick.
