I hope people can see that he acknowledges Tester as the best protoss in the world, even if he didn't qualify. Tester is really a top player, even if he has his weak moments. I am sad that I cannot cheer for him.

I will cheer for the protosses in the competition. Go Genius, go MC!

This is exactly what I've been thinking as well. I don't like when someone talks down on another player, but Genius just shows some attitude without insulting other players, I like it=)

I guess it's cultural. In the West that kind of attitude will be considered amusing, and then when it bites him in the ass when he fails to love up to the talk we just laugh at him.

Confidence makes competitive activities way more interesting to watch.
I like his interviews.

Also, anyone who names themselves "genius" is sure to be a little cocky, so I wasn't surprised to read his responses.

SC2 is such a new game, and yeah Tester rocked socks in the beta, but isn't it time to let go? Maybe Protoss needs a new hero. I'm sure we'll see more of Tester, but I don't know if people can still keep calling him the "best in the world" when he hasn't qualified twice in a row.

The best Protoss, not the best overall. The latter would indeed be not very close.

But there's no consistently brilliant protoss player out there. Probably the most consistent player of all top protoss is Genius himself, but even he got eliminated in the round of 64 in GSL1, and God knows what will he do in GSL3. His games haven't been any higher level than other protosses, and he failed to impress much even in All Stars. So the title of the best protoss is up for grabs. Nobody can unequivocally point to one player, as far as I am concerned.

Q. What makes it so hard to play?
A. Terrans are grabbing timing windows too quickly. They don't let the protoss be alone in the early game. Zerg is hard to play against because of the recent patch.

I was told that he is switching races and has a poll up asking players which other race would suit his playstyle better... has anyone else heard this?

Also, about Tester... if you didnt get a chance to watch the GSL all stars games, he really performed well in those.

i love seeing nexgenius lose. although he's a great player, i personally dislike his style of 'confidence'. it seems more like it borders bm (especially that finger wave/taunt during the gsl). however, i like idra's style of bm because it's just hiliarious to read lol.

I think it's hilarious.
Genius = overconfident even when his race is in the freakin dark ages.
Sooo funny.
Anyway, I think Tester is the best Protoss player at the moment, just sayin'

Genius has the best results though, and that's kinda what matters.

Yep I see your point.
But I feel Tester is the stronger player and once he stops choking in almost every high profile game, he'll dominate.
That's what I think anyway.
Yes, Genius is more consistent and that is indeed what matters but I don't think he's better.

Oh wow, I missed this.

Damn, it seems indeed unfair. We had a huge thread with FD threatening to switch, why didn't they remove that one?

My friend said he had a blog up or a website where he was asking people what race he should be. I cant find anything on this though other than hearsay

Q. You’re being considered one of the top protosses.
A. People compare me a lot with sSKS, but since he didn’t qualify this time, I think I’m the top protoss (laughs).

Well, I was wondering why Tester would dislike this guy. I think I just found my answer.


He could very well be joking? You also need to take this quote into account:

"The top protoss is definitely sSKS, but oGsMC has been improving. I hope we can all do well."

EDIT: Oops, I'm sorry. I was looking at the more recent Genius thread, got linked to this one, accidentally replied to one of the posts here and ended up bumping it.
