jakjji wasn't the best either.
seed is still the worst imo, jjakji remained abit longer than seed
True but Seed was really dominant while he lasted. A summer long, that is. His dominance was just overshadowed by Taeja all killing every team he could find and winning everything he entered
Bomber and gumiho, both in my top 3 of terrans. What they have in common for me is their macro oriented play: fast 3 CC, strong midgame timingpushes. Other terrans go for later 3rd, more early game pressure, weaker midgame push.
I feel that this way (bomber's and gumiho's way) of playing is more solid and safe. For example: you will see other terrans go hellion banshee almost every game. This is more gambling for me, since it's weak against 1) speedroaches push, 2) roach queen push, 3) roach hydra push (cf stephano). Another example is the "2 or 3 marines in a bunker": you will see bomber always make 4 marines. 2 marines against a 2 base 6:30 8 roach push and you are behind = gambling again.

His sloppy multitasking style has really refined over the past few seasons and its just brilliant to watch. almost reminds me of like MMA reaching the full potential he was supposed to reach lol.
gumiho's multitasking style is incredible lol, its just his macro behind it usually isnt very good
Ehh...I remember when he first came on the scene in GSTL, he often had trouble doing too much at once. But it goes to show that if you're ambitious enough, you'll eventually reach the level you want to be at. That's the style he chose and he grew into it.

How can a multitasking style be incredible when your macro slips if you do other things simultaneous on the map? This mean makro isn't a task that counts to the sum of multitasking and that doesn't make sense.

Protoss players and GSL is a bit a love and go type of thing. Seed's still a great player. With the focus he's puting on HotS since december, he's gonna be a monster after march
