Haven't for a year tbh Apoc played very well  That train is going to be derailed pretty hard against Dear I feel. He won 4 series against Protoss. 3-2 vs. elfi twice, 3-2 vs. patience and 3-2 vs. Welmu. 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)

ForGG very aggressive, and San adapting and showing some pretty cool decisions. San's one of the smartest Protoss players out there IMO, always cool to see what he comes up with.
Indeed. It was a very good series of PvT.

Four of five of Apocalypse's series have gone 3-2. Five out of five of his series were against Protoss.
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
