You advance to RO4 after a nail-biting full set series. How do you feel?
Until yesterday, my hand was hurting so badly that I could hardly play. Then, last night, I had a dream where I was playing against Soulkey. I was worried about my hand the whole time but somehow I played without any trouble. It felt so real for a dream. So when I woke up, I tried holding my mouse and it just felt so much better compared to the day before. In the match itself, I became nervous after giving away two sets but that just makes the victory that much sweeter.

Source? I know in his interview on his return to PL he said that his wrists were feeling better and was much more manageable.

You can't mention the best Teamleague terrans and not mention MMA. This guy was the ace for the Slayers team that won 2 GSTL titles. MMA began as a teamleague monster.

P: MC, Parting, Squirtle; after those I'd pick Seed, Genius and Creator
T: Mvp, MKP, MMA; Polt, Jjakji and Gumiho not making the cut
Z: Nestea, DRG, Life; Sry Leenock, Sniper and Fruitdealer (people forget how good this guy was during the first seasons of GSL)

Well in terms of protoss that win things... MC, Parting, HerO obviously won the most + were the most "always around"-ish protosses? Except for MC's slump I guess. Creator, Seed, Rain, Squirtle, Genius obviously did well too and some won things too but not as stretched out I'd say.

i disagree on hero "obviously winning the most" since two dreamhacks and an NASL i would rate lower than squirtle's 2nd places, seed's GSL, rain's OSL/WCS asia and probably even with creator's #2BWC/WCSKR/TSL4. and really, parting "winning the most" is a bit inflated too since he won BWC and WCG, beating one korean along the way haha

i don't know how you can rate squirtle above rain or creator, really

Squirtle has been around for longer as those two and has the best GSL finish of them. I believe Rain is stronger - but winning this somewhat akward first OSL and making one Ro4 appearance in GSL isn't enough for me to put him above all the other protoss players who have delievered for 1year and more. If he had attended this GSL and had requalified for the next I would have strongly considered him.
And Creator... Imo he is lacking Code S results. But might be just my memory that plays tricks on me.

Also: Squirtle games tend to be epic.

Well I was was purely talking numbers. Rain's OSL wasn't all that impressive to me, he had godlike PvP and beat Parting, then Last who basically did the same build 3 games in a row, then Rain figured it out and reverse swept him, and a slumping DRG. His WCS Asia was built almost purely on his godlike PvP.
Squirtle's GSL and IPL second place I don't rank as high as winning 2 Dreamhacks and an NASL. Squirtle beat HerO to get to the GSL finals so it's not like HerO couldn't have won it, especially considering he was the only player to beat Mvp that season.
Creator's WCS KR is the most impressive out of his accomplishments imo. BWC was almost easier, lol. TSL4 I don't think is to rank as high as a live event like DH or NASL, especially not this NASL HerO won. The competition he faced there & all season long to qualify was waaay harder.
Seed's GSL while super impressive was kinda awarded to him by Byun, lol. And it was a one time thing so far so I wouldn't rank it as high as HerO's 2DH and NASL either. It's bigger than each individually but not all of them.
