Also why is HuK not on that list? He's one of 2 protoss that actually won some games last season and reached the Ro8. He's probably the best performing Protoss in the GSL atm. | ||

I really hope that hero will lead us to a brighter future i agree but its like MC was the only one already then now hes code B TT will we always have 1 only guy that can actually win things? | ||

However, I feel like Huk is maybe the best at PvT (mostly due to his ridiculous control when defending), it's just that the matchup is kinda hard right now (many Toss can't win it at all). Huk also has excellent PvZ and very solid PvP (insofar as anybody does). He's also still in Code S and doing pretty well in general. I understand he's not a new player but he is getting better and better as I think at this stage that not only is he the most likely foreign player to take a Code S win but he's also the most likely Protoss to take out the tournament as well. However I don't think a Protoss will win anything major until Factory pushes can be dealt with after expanding (whilst still being safe to Bio pressure) and they get a buff or 2 (or Terran get a nerf ofc). | ||

And I must say I love JYP from the moments I seen him dismantle DRG  After recent performances and showings kinda hard to say hes a top toss right now. Last code s he was able to play pvp against killer TWICE to stay in and Nada played really bad PvT. If he makes it past this ro32 then yeah it would be good but its far from the strongest group. Puzzle has Ryung-Mkcheeseprime and Bomber. Puzzles the hero toss needs for code s. | ||

In fact to me he seems like the most talented player running around in SC2, but he needs to work harder on his forward planning to get there. So frickin' good tho.

Yeah from watching HerO playing PvZ, you kinda notice how good templars are if used well (and they kinda rofl at infestorz)! | ||

I don't even know what to feel about MC. It's like I don't even want to play this game anymore... | ||

Hero is better than Thorzain and Rain, his first game alone where he managed to last so long after defending a 2rax with 1gate way (late 2nd gateway), 1Stargate, losing 13 Probes and being 2mins behind on his expo should be enough to say that | ||

You come off as being pretty spoiled, if this makes you want to quit the game then Zerg during 1.00 would have made you want to quit life. | ||

Then I realized I play Terran and opened a beer for Select's GSL run. | ||

ThorZain nearly won against DongRaeGu in his worst match-up, it's like HerO losing 2-3 against NesTea for a 15000 dollars match (aka NesTea playing seriously) since DRG is like top 2 ZvT, plus he crushed him head-to-head and has better results in the GSTL, equal results in GSL (1-2 in r32 code A). About Rain I'm not really sure if he is better than NaNiwa because it's close since Rain is not in korea anymore, games could have went either way, but ThorZain is definitively better than HerO. | ||

I say Hero is because he is one of the few top Protoss's right now that is having any form of success these days, especially in PvZ where you have Zergs who don't even make a single creep tumor beating players like MC >_> | ||

About MC he lost to HongUn so it's not only his race either, even if that doesn't help. GSL Code A Spoiler : + Show Spoiler + JYP crushing through oGsJookTo I think that SaSe, Sage and Puzzle will win as well as NaNiwa and Huk, but it will be hard. GSL Code A Spoiler again : + Show Spoiler + I feel that MC will smash MLG so hard now that he is in code B, MKP 1st MC 2nd with MC grabbing the code S spot | ||
