The lesser known third classic blunder. Never get in a land war in Asia, never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line, and never bet on the foreigners.

Really? Even calling him the best PvT is a stretch because he's largely unproven and has no major accomplishments.
He IS the reason that Protoss vs Terran is protoss favored. he's also one of the best Macro players for PvZ.
every other Protoss player worth talking about is stupidly specialized except genius who copies OZ's PvP, and Creator's PvT/PvZ
OZ, PvP only, his PvZ and PvT are mediocre at best MC, he better all in or he's awful. Genius, the copy protoss JYP, PvZ version of OZ. Creator, the creator of modern PvT, improved upon JYP's PvZ, decent PvP but not special
Not even going to bother refuting these ridiculously biased generalizations of the best protoss players, if you want to fanboy all over some guy who hasn't even won anything go ahead. You can fanboy over him all day long in Code A while everyone else watches "the guy who better all in or he's awful" actually win something. Creator is very good but you overrate him immensely and just insult the other Protoss players.
yeah MC is awful at non all ins, but he's the best all in player in the world. i'll give him that. Creator will in GSL before MC does again, and when Creator wins the GSL MC will be on his way out of the GSL (again)
lol such silly bias... MC Has a great late game, he doesn't get to show it very often, and yes it is probably not the best in the world but it is far from "Awful"
As for his 'all ins' the majority of them are actually just strong timing attacks. And as many others(Including Day9 in one of his dailies.) have said, when MC all ins not only does he execute it perfectly and much better then any other player in the world, most of the time it is not pre planned. He scouts a weakness in his opponents build and attacks it. The fact that people actually look down on that kind of skill and killer instinct I find absurd.
Creator may one day take the Throne from MC... but it will not be today, tomorrow, it may not even be in this year. but he is a great player very capable of becoming the best protoss player in the world, to say he is better then the only Protoss player in GSL history to win a GSL? No.. just No

I don't look down on MC being an all-in toss, especially since he is the best in the world at it. he's just a highly specialized player like the majority of top protoss players right now, only genius and creator have shown a wide variety of skills and the ability to adapt quickly in all situations and matchup and i put creator above genius since you know, genius copied him to get where he is now.
He's better overall than MC for sure though, anyone watching both their play recently could attest to this.

Creator is the best non PvP protoss in the world. you can't be ashamed about losing to him.

Yeah dude you're pretty much off on most of this. But I'll only comment about Genius. Genius has debuted pretty much every one of his PvT and PvZ builds. And many people don't even try copying them. This last GSL he brought out sick stargate builds vs Z no one has seen yet. And PvT He's executed some very clean builds involving both quick colossus and upgrades in more refined ways than we have seen.
That said you CANT say who's made the build. You can only say who used it first in the GSL. And often times that's after it's been around clan practice, or korean ladder for a while.

Nope. We barely even get to see Creator play in the GSL, his games today were the first offline games he's even played in 2 months. So there isn't even a fair way to compare their play anyway, and in actual results MC is doing much better, actually you know, winning a major tournament and advancing to ro8 Code S. But anyone could attest to the fact he's better than MC /sarcasm.

Such depressing results. I was really cheering for Morrow.
BTW: Hitler's mistake was that he invaded Russia in the summer and thought he would win before the summer came. If you invade Russia in the winter and are prepared for it you should be fine. The German's weren't ready for the winter and it hit them hard.
