Even a progamer said Hero's blink is the second best to Parting in one of GSL group selections where both were present, although I don't remember which one it was. Recently one of GSL casters said in his stream(paraphrased) that Parting lacks a kin understanding of when to engage and when to withdraw compared to other top protoss players but his micro skill alone wins him a match even in impossible fights. Parting was the only protoss who could take on Zerg with Immortal all-in during late HOTS and his 45-3 record against Terran at some point during 2015 proves the point too. I don't think Parting is overall a better player than hero(at their peak) because he has many weaknesses. Parting's minimap awareness is somewhat lacking, he fights unfavourable battles and take losses, his decision making is not top notch; however, his micro is, IMO, indisputably the best among protoss players and that's what made him one of the best protosses. Parting beat Rogue in 120 vs 200 supply. Parting, in his games against TY in 2015, took massive probe losses and lost couple of badly chosen engagements but still came out on top with unbelievable micro. If Parting had more versatility with his micro intact I could see him being the only Bonzwa of SC2. Hero, on the other hand, is not a player whose strength is as limited as Parting's is. Hero's blink micro is more of his favoured strategy than his strength. Hero excels at mindgames, lategames, macro and micro, but he doesn't particularly have a better micro than Parting. This comparison is somewhat moot at this point since Parting has fallen quite low after his long break from SC2 from middle of 2015. He is no longer a player with Hero's caliber at this point and most likely henceforth; lost skills don't come back easily at pro-level. | ||

It's the match Parting playing against Rogue; Protoss had 2 bases with 120 supply and 3 immortals while Zerg had fully saturated 4 bases(1 gold) with 200 supply and burrow move upgraded roaches; Paring kept pressing Zerg for nearly 5 minutes, forcing massive losses to Rogue with his incredible micro, then won the game. The game has one of the best protoss engagement I've ever seen in SC2. For those who haven't watched this yet, check it out. | ||
