toss these days doesnt have that all around player.. they just got people that play well vs a particular race.

bisu > zerg
much > terran
maybe* backho > toss ... but he finds ways to fuck shit up

then u have best and stork who pretty much love letting people down in tourneys after going so hard

but generally what it comes down to in this day an age and the reason we'll hopefully always see a zerg getting into the finals is... z < t ... p = t ... p < z ... unless Bisu comes along and fucks shit up with gay ass sair reaver/carrier

wow

this has to be one of the best news posts ever written

love that you hid all the spoilers

doesn't that apply to every race?
outside of the few extremely balanced players (flash, jaedong, and yes stork) almost all the top players are good at one, maybe two matchups.
most players have one bad matchup.

look at the top players on tlpd:
forgg: 46% tvt
mind: 53% tvz
fbh: 36% tvp (fbh sucks)
july: 52% zvt
canata: 38% tvp (still better than fbh)
vs
anytime: 50% pvp
best: 50% pvz
bisu: 56% pvt
only luxury and sea have good, balanced records.

i understand there aren't currently the best players nor are they the best indication of their skill, but it was more convenient just to use tlpd's ELO ranking.
as for the argument in support of stork, his worst matchup is pvz yet he has been 13-3 vs zergs not named jaedong for the past year or so with all three losses coming to luxury (another great player).

lol i think if backho played PvT exactly like he does PvP he will probably look a lot more threatening haha

How can you even compare (P)Rock to everyone else on that list? (P)BackHo is arguable too, if you're gonna put him, why not put (P)JangBi, etc.
