I don't see how you can include DRG yet exclude Bomber, who has better stats in almost every matchup

Seems like most of you commentating haven't even read the article? Bomber and losira are considered as already established big name players and rightly so. This thread is about people who may be considered as being on that level soon

Who is the third protoss? You don't say his nick anywhere and I haven't been following the GSL very closely lately.


I think he mentioned it as Puzzle. I haven't been watching GSL this season either, so I'm actually really depressed because it seems really exciting now :D It's always nice to have dominant players of each race, but I'm more interested in the fresh blood, who usually show really interesting tactics.

Alicia, DRG, Polt, etc are not new either, nor were they not getting high results in the past.

My short list would be:

Protoss: Sage, Puzzle, Genius (He's been here forever, but trust me, he's coming out in huge fashion this season)

Zerg: DRG, Leenock (Did you forget about him?, his ZvT is stellar, and his ZvZ was on par with NesTea's, just not enough to beat him), Coca or Line (Not both, I only think one of them will succeed, I just can't decide which, Coca is more likely since he's in Code S)

Terran: Puma, aLive, IMHappy


It seems that Ns Hoseo and ZeNEX have a lot of hidden talent, er had. They're not hidden anymore :p

btw, might wanna fix some of your TLPD links, they're practically all wrong, going to BW, and the ones without BW profiles, i.e. Polt, go to International ಠ_ಠ

I'm really excited to see sage play more. He showed so many interesting games that were really fun to watch, especially when Artosis is left in awe at his play.

Great thread but I'd like to see Losira and Leenock get some love.

I agree, but I don't really consider them to be up and comers anymore, we have seen these guys play for so long it seems. I love them, but that's why I did not include them.

Hmm I disagree with Line being mentioned. He has an interesting style ZvT but his not that good, I'm a fan of him but there are definitely others that need to be mentioned, July, Leenock, Zenio for example.

I love how you added Sage to Protoss. I think he'll be the next GSL Code S winner when he gets into Code S

Oh yes, that MC and his three base all-ins.

And MC is the most dominant protoss by far. Doing well in Code A in GSTL means nothing if it doesn't translate to actually getting into Code S. He's not even slumping, he lost a PvP and had stupid build order losses (though his fault through somewhat greedy play) against Polt, who won the Super Tournament.

Nestea is the most dominant zerg.

For terrans it seems the best one tends to be the guy with the best TvT at the moment apparently, since so much of the players are terran.

Interesting read, i have been thinking a lot about this lately since MC and MVP have not been performing at a level that people would expect of them.

MC in the past month
1st in Stars war tournament
3rd at homestory and columbus.

It's a testament to MC's absolute dominance at his peak when that's considered not doing well

Meh, beating up Foreigners is trivial. That's like Wilt Chamberlain's 100 Point game. Trivial. MC at complete dominance won Copenhagen, DHI, and was the highest placing Korean along with BoxeR. However MC got knocked out by the winner, BoxeR didn't.

his vT is just too bad to ever be a top player IMO.


He's already a top player. Most of his vs T loses have been to SC and MMA, who are both extremely good vs Z.

On 31st of August, this is how the top 3 of each race will look, in descending order: [Terran: PuMa, sC, NaDa] [Protoss: MC/Sage, Sage/MC, Puzzle] [Zerg: Nestea, DRG, Line]

Just my prediction.

He's not really up and coming and he's done nothing really in Korea. His Code A run was really easy/unassuming and so far in Code S he lost his group games and beat MMA to stay in Code S. He lost to Polt in the second round of the Super Tournament.

This is a big Code S for Huk, results at Dreamhack suggests he's improved a lot, but we'll see if that translates into succeeding in Code S.

Awesome writeup, I'm so excited to see more games of DRG. Perhaps HuK & Naniwa & Ra deserve mention.... but that would be in the Non-Korean writeup
