Morrow showcased the build during IEM cologne against many zerg and he won against IdrA in the final using mostly this build. But it's LzGamer who created the build. Lz is really a innovator for me, he always created awesome build. The 3 fact push against protoss come to mind and also some cute thor/ghost/raven play against zerg. | ||

People need to stop getting invented mixed up with trend setting. A trend setter is someone who won enough using a build to get people to start using it themselves. Idra is a PERFECT example for a trend setter. He made muta/ling/bane look unbeatable for awhile. | ||

About Spanishiwa, while his style is definitely a trendsetter, I don't think it has had the impact on the proscene like it has on the lower ladder levels. For that reason I wouldn't put him on my own list. Someone like July, who showed zerg can be aggressive at ALL stages of the game and against the highest level of competition, is someone I would put in that position instead. | ||

VR+Phoenix in PvZ, 6gate timings in PvT, making 4gate the only real strategy for a very long time in PvP.

Recently, I would agree with you, but MC started trendsetting months after Genius. Genius has been setting protoss trends since like last May. | ||
