It seems like the real innovators aren't necessarily the greatest macro/micro players. To save protoss, I'd look more to guys like White-Ra and Kiwikaki. Of course, it's unlikely that either of them will win a tournament with legit Koreans in it, but the better executors should look to those two to see how they handle PvT. Then they can copy it and execute it better for the wins. As for Hero, when people say "he held off X with only Y", that's not innovation. That's good control. Top protoss players already have that. However, he does do a few interesting things, which makes me believe that maybe he's an innovator... still a little unsure on him. I'm not familiar enough with Sage, JYP, or Sase to comment on them, but no way is Nani an innovator... just another great executor. | ||

Probably best innovators right now (just assuming from what I saw) are HerO, Sage and SaSe. So these are the guys I would look forward the most. | ||

I doubt he'll ever revolutionise the race, but he's not going away any time soon haha. HongUn is terrible gimmicky player and I'm willing to bet he will be in code B in 4 seasons.. If he has to be our protoss hero, then I'll rather be heroless. | ||

Lovely attitude. Bet you think TheBest and Rain are terrible players too, since your adjective of "terrible" is based on what has been, not what could be. There are a lot of players who were gimmicky as hell, and have really looked strong since copping a slap to the face. Protoss heroes obviously aren't going to be coming from "what has been", but rather "what could be". If you personally are looking for a hero, don't be picky if one appears and you don't like him because he looked bad in the past. MC used to be the toss hero, and people thought he was laughable in Brood War. Take what you get, don't act entitled =P | ||

If HongUn is a terrible gimmicky player, I don't know what MC is... MC basically "invented" about every timing push protoss has, and HongUn uses them well because he can't really play macro games because of RSI issues, so he is as gimmicky as MC... and he crushes terrans a lot. | ||

He didn't get out of group stages in both Assembly Summer & IEM... Come on, even MC did better by reaching the final crushing everyone except PuMa. | ||
