I'll be shocked if he wins against Dear He lost against elfi 3-2 one of those times, and beat another protoss 3-0 (Gungfubanda)

Indeed. It was a very good series of PvT.

That is a very interesting fact

Even during the time where San wasn't relevant in tournaments (2011-2012?), he got mentioned a ton in interviews as a player who came up with build orders for other players. So I agree, maybe smartest player out there BO creation wise!

So Jaedong/Solar vs. ForGG Apoc vs. Dear Life vs. San/Snute Stardust vs. Welmu/Patience
Given the starting racial (and skill distribution) having 2 terrans in the ro8 isn't bad at all!
EDIT: Oops thought JD vs Solar was over.

Blizzcon casting jokes aside, sOs was the player with the best builds in the beginning of HotS.
And I'm not sure if you're joking or not :p

I don't think sOs has as many mapped out builds that are as good as San's, he has better in-game ability to just pull something improvisational off. Elfi has much the same talent :p

Welmu with lots of colo>Patience :D
