He won Code A, got to the semi finals of the ST and was the only player even close to beating Polt. He knocked out Nestea. He's a beast, and he's already proven himself against top (pardon the pun) players. He's got to be considered at the forefront of his race right now. TOP has been one of the best Terran's since Season One. He arguably should have beaten Fruitdealer, and If he would have, most likely could have won the first season. For that reason I don't consider him up and coming because he's been around forever. Also @Subversion I'm not saying sC is the king of terran, just that he is one of the race's most prominent rising star. | ||

That said, Puzzle really impressed me and Alicia also has been amazing (Captain of my fantasy GSTL actually). But MC will have the throne a while longer I think. Edit: Also, blatent fanboyism but MKP is gonna start his era of dominance soon I think. His run through the NASL Season2 qualifiers was breathtaking. | ||

Granted, he was taken out by AMAZING micro by Alicia in the super tournament, but that was really something else. I think MC's PvP has slipped a bit, but he's gonna keep on dominating PvZ (even tho his style is getting a little bit tired there now) and his PvT is still incredible. I wouldn't expect him to fall from grace for some time. That said, Puzzle really impressed me and Alicia also has been amazing (Captain of my fantasy GSTL actually).

Naturally, I am disappoint =( Not a new face I guess, but sC isn't new in my eyes, just in other peoples for some reason because he had to come through Code A? Polt also been around forever, but only noticeable recently. Feels like the Zerg and Protoss names are the "Oh god these guys are good and have come out of nowhere in the last season or two" whereas Terran are like "These guys have been good for a while, recently really good though + PuMa". So yeah, nice thread idea, but I feel like you only hit the mark with Zerg and Protoss, whilst Terran just listed non new faces =/ | ||

Admittedly the terran players are not as fresh and I regret that, but I honestly don't see many Terrans in the last few months who are playing at these players level recently. IMHappy is really the only one, but he has played very inferior opponents so far in Code A. I do consider him to be very talented though. Of course this isn't the end all be all thread of up and comers I fully expect the landscape to change in several months. I just couldn't think of many new new really talented Terrans. | ||

Protoss, I think Alicia personally is better than MC, but we'll see about that, Sage is someone that can become really really good, and Puzzle looks like someone who could be a steady code s player. | ||

Alicia's pvz is atrocious...even if you think maybe alicia has a better matchup, MC is much more solid overall( stastically alicia is inferior to MC in every way) how can you say someone with no tourney results is better than MC >.> | ||

Yeah, the thing about Bomber is we've been hearing about how this guy might actually be the best Terran in the world since January, so I don't really think he's fresh enough you know? | ||

 NesTea will always be my favorite Zerg, but I have really enjoyed watching Line lately and I hope to get a better look at his ZvT as I think it really suits my style.  Alicia hasn't been performing as well in PvT as Artosis' comments have lead us to believe, but he still seems to be very competent in every match-up, even beating MC in the Super Tournament in games that were mostly micro wars. A skill that most attribute to his opponent. | ||
