He doesn't just make cute builds to get ahead, he refines and popularizes unique playstyles as well as many specific builds to counter certain problems in the metagame. And some of those only work due to his exceptional macro and unit control. He's refined Protoss to the point it really cannot be further refined. I'm interested to see what comes up next in our metagame | ||

MC has innovated various styles in both matchups...how can you say P is the least innovative when they have the most innovative player so far (MC) recently with his Stargate PvZ and chargelot/archon PvT. Along with his gateway timings and other things. I have to disagree on MC being the most innovative player. That trophy goes to Nestea. Zerg and Terran player have several innovative players with unique styles, DRG, Losira, Idra, MVP, Thorzain, Bomber, probably several more. I think the successful Protoss players are not so because of their unique styles, but because of their superior mechanics. | ||

Sage has an interesting style, but it's ridiculous in the skillsets required to pull it off | ||

MC's perhaps not the most innovative but he's the most innovative Protoss player. He's popularized so many Pv builds and refined them to near perfection. | ||

MC has like 10 builds and protoss wouldn't be what they are without him. I don't think I could say that about nestea...What builds has he come up with, spinecrawler rush is all I can think of. I admit I haven't watched THAT much of Nestea but I don't think he's ever shifted the metagame immensely | ||

The Protoss metagame is somewhat stale compared to their counterparts, and MC was responsible for most of the popular Protoss builds in all matchups. | ||
