No MVP on your list? Along with those guys I think he was definitely one of the most impressive.
ed: lol I'm so slow, see you mentioned him already in another post xD

A note about masterly Genius defense:
Is kinda disturbing the difference of skill needed for 1) 1 base play + tank/bunker push. And 2) Scouting/tech decision + Micro/Flanking for defense.
Specially if we consider Browder talk about "balacing easy-to-do/high-win% 1 base play".
I'm sure Rainbow have the caliber to develop Genius-like high level plays.

I loved How Artosis gave props for Mana for invinteing that build. GW There!

Jungle Basin. If Anypro botches this game too... oh boy. Poor Leenock.

Genius was flawless for most of the game but that push where he shielded his immortals out of Rainbows base and lost most of his large army to one sieged tank, a couple of marines and scvs was cringe worthy.

I felt Tester's play was S-class worthy (save for the PvP, dunno what that was about). Sure, his opponents weren't on his level, but what we saw was variety play much unlike a lot of the Code A and some Code S Protosses we've seen thus far.

Zenio also made it. They play each other next though, with the other members of their group being Boxer and Tester.

Enh. I love Tester as well, but look at Genius' PvP and then Tester's PvP. Tester made a silly map related BO choice and got an auto-loss. Genius just seems to make the right decisions, even more than my favourite broToss Tester.

Great game from Genius, defended perfectly.
Nevertheless I gotta say, I was close to muting the stream because of the stuff Artosis was saying: I mean he made it look like 1 gate robo 2 gate into expand was "the new style of protoss", something Mana, Genius and/or other pros recently discovered. Roflwhat? Everybody and their grandmother has been playing this 2 gate robo expo for AGES, I think this style has to be the most persistent style in any of the matchups since release. It's the classic "into fast robotics bay" so many toss players have been losing with recently when they scout MM play, this game Terran just happened not to play MM. No offense to Artosis, but 2 gate robo expo is far from "brilliant", it's very, very standard, extremely defensive (oGsMC rarely plays it because of that) and quite the opposite of "innovative".

Anypro loses a probe, now he'll never win
