I don't think MC really has any competition. Alicia is really the only other protoss who has been performing consistently, but I wouldn't put him near MC.

Puzzle.

Honestly, I think foreign P's are approaching top caliber though, with Huk and Nani


I agree the korean protoss line isnt that compelling.
People should have a look at (P)HwangSin also.

I agree, I say as much in the post. The article was not about who is the best, but about who the up and comer's, the challengers to the throne, are.

I think puzzle and puma are going to be the players to watch yet, puma's timing attacks are just almost...unfair and so crisply executed.

For zerg I only see nestea still holding onto the top spot.

I understand the HuK bias being a foreigner and a huge fan myself. But, I'm not ready to give him that high of credit yet. He had a relatively unimpressive code A run, and hasn't done exceedingly well in Code S yet. If he takes down his group, then definitely deserves to be on here. Puzzle has just impressed me greatly so far.

Couldn't agree more, BTW all these "up and comers" are on the Korean weekly almost every week if you want to see some ridiculous play.

Cool writeup on the Korean scene, really crazy how quickly things change in just a couple weeks within this game.


Now someone do one for the EU and NA scenes. :D

Yes lots of people are bised to Huk for being a foreigner, but I usually root for the koreans haha.
Huk gets to train in korea with the oGs team and get mentored by MC, best toss in the world. Add that on to 1st place homestory, 1st place dreamhack, and Code S title i think it beats puzzle's Code A run this year.

No foreigners at all?

There are a number of foreigners who are considered to be some of the best players period (by the Koreans), like Thorzain and HuK.

Thorzain in particular has a number of Korean Pro players (like MC and MMA) on record saying how amazingly good he is.

If anyone listened to what tyler said in yest SoTG, its clear that you might be the best player in the world, but that doesnt necessarily materialize into winning tournaments. For that you need a good luck too. Consistency is the key, and MC is consistent with his results, so he is still the BOSS TOSS!!

Being Flash's TvT practice partner makes you a multitasking beast I suppose hahaha. Pretty sure you still stood a chance though!

DONGRAEGU~!!!! ZVT SNIPER!!!!!!

Line is very impressive too... he really showed me that having lots of mutalisks can be a better way to spend your gas than to make lots of banes... Mutalisks can tear apart small forces of marines/medis/tanks

Thors are the big problem, but having tons of mutalisks can magic box to victory
