well I mean if you want to get to the really old good TvTers Gumigod, Ryung, and aLive are having a resurgence

yes but I was going for people that aren't retired. All the prime terrans were actually pretty good TvTers early on. Everyone remembers MKP getting his ass whooped by Mvp but he was pretty good in TvT against everyone else
Polt was part of that Mvp > Polt > MMA > Mvp love triangle of TvT death

Ryung was even more of TvT specialist than he is today. Though maybe that's just because his TvP and TvZ have relatively improved more.
