Personally, I think that NonY is on a trajectory of being the best NA Protoss long-term. His heady approach to Starcraft and deep understanding of the game will enable him to pull away from other players like Huk (who are also very good) as the SC2 metagame continues to develop.

All the higher-level players have solid mechanics (from my nooby point of view), what really separates NonY from the rest is brainpower.


This is pretty much how I feel, he is the one who is always coming up with strange builds and diff strats (who woulda thunk Pheonixs were useful when everyone was whining that they were pointless.)

Nah, the Phoenix thing gets way overhyped. I knew tons of people who were using Phoenixes in what is, honestly, a very obvious way to use them. In fact, I'd been watching a friend use Phoenixes that way for a solid month before NonY got covered by Day[9] and became an "innovator" for it.

I dunno -- NonY was a good BW player and has been a fixture in the community for some time. But he just didn't do anything impressive in the SC2 beta. Is that really so hard to accept?

HuK dominated. He cleaned Antimage's clock. Let's just accept that and golfclap where it's deserved -- rather than where it's not.


Nony did pretty well in the HDH to beat TLO in a best of 7 and claim third.

While not in NA, White-Ra is currently the boss of toss and makes this little argument about HuK and Nony kind of pointless from a bigger perspective imo.

Agreed. White-Ra is definitely the best.

TLO... is a mystery. TLO is awesome. Is TLO good? Dunno bout that.



This is all kind of silly. All of the players in the HDH were/are good. Were/are better than 90+% of the player pool. We/are better and know more about the game than nearly everyone with their arbitrary lists of players that impressed them over youtube while their hotdogs were in the microwave.

It's really impossible to tell who's the best. Everyone has their own opinions--their own community heart throbs. But, when boiled down, we've only seen a handful of performances from a handful of players in a short amount of time during the beta of an incomplete game.

EDIT: good addition to the interview.

Yeah, he pretty much pioneered his own Protoss build from scratch. No one was talking about Phoenixes in a positive way until NonY showed us all how you could win with them. He's also revealed in another thread that he was working on a serious [non-cheesy] DT build but that the first phase of Beta testing ended before he could try it out on the ladder. Hopefully, we'll get to see it in the second phase of Beta testing (crossing my fingers here).

NonY has that enviable quality of being creative and not limiting his thinking to what the mainstream SC2 community has already figured out.

I remember that game with the warp prisms and immortals vs Roboferret. That was such a good game for both Huk and Roboferret
