I would like to watch the video where:
- The first time the arbiter is used with succes in PvT
- The first time Nal_Ra uses sair-river in PvZ
- The first time Daezang uses dark-sair in PvZ
- The first time Stork shows how to follow after first tank was sniped in PvT
- The first time FE was used in PvZ

Actually I would enjoy more the commentators reaction in these events.

Voted Ra of course. Anyone old enough to remember Ra's games in his prime could only vote for Ra.

I can see the arguements for Bisu , but Ra did the same thing at a much earlier time. I mean, watch some of his game on Neo Legacy of Char. Mass sair/reaver D web for the win, you cant get any cooler than that. Hell it isnt even POSSIBLE to pull that off anymore. Double Hallcinated arb recalls? Sick. Hell, Arb use in general! Proxy gateway/cannons? Who do you think invented that shit? Cannon rushing? FAST FUCKING NEXUS VS Z? SOUND FRAMILIAR? That was all Ra. He was doing it YEARS before bisu was even on the scene.

This is true.
Wait, nal_ra came before Pusan did right? What happen to the FE against Z then?

I really think backho deserves to be on this list. Think of all the great things he's done, like zizi yOing, suiciding zealots into mutalisks, suciding by attacking a zerg with no obs, and just suiciding his units in general.

He's made everyone in the protoss race look great.

Why is bisu first... I haven't read many if any posts in this thread saying they voted Bisu, so probably just the low post "i love bisu" users. (no offence, savior has them also ).

Anyway voted Nal_rA. People have mentioned my reasons already.

Definately Nal_ra.

Who didn't love watching his weird strats that worked perfectly.

I wish protoss liked like nal_ra now. He was so clever/cheesy!

Poll: Restart the poll?
(Vote): No

Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

The lack of Reach votes makes me a sad puppy. I was under the impression that he was integral to forging PvT as we know it.


rA and Reach kind of worked together to create the macro PvT trend... definitely can't credit Reach alone.

i only know of what is listed in this description


"GARIMTO (Protoss, Kim Dong Su) is like the Boxer of Protoss. He invented the archon splash on Zealots to kill Lurkers. He was possibly the first to do proxy Reavers. One famous game VS st.eagle in Sky 2001 he actually made the robotics for the Reaver at st.eagle's natural expansion. Another famous play was when he mind controlled an Overlord instead of teching to Observers. (Not shown on a TV match)."

Definitely Bisu.

Did you guys forget how your mighty Savior was humiliated ?

July is the king of ZvP while Bisu is PvZ.. they both revolutionized the play against each race.

I feel that Nal_rA should win this hands down, but I think most people misunderstand the poll ^^

Nal_rA had such a huge impact on the way Protoss has evolved to the way we see it being played these days. However, if we're talking about the most influential player, I would say Bisu is in front of the line, looking at how many players have been copying/using his builds and strats.
It has a strong technique, but it lacks oo.
