I'm a bit curious as to who the Protoss look at as there "good" players now.
Terran its fairly obvious with MVP, Bomber, MMA n such
Zerg Nestea, DRG Losira(?)
For Protoss, myself and i feel many others are so use to the praise of MC but even MC himself is highly critical of his own recent play (i mean vs monster he ... kinda played really bad, not monster playing particularly good). You hear things about JYP and Sage and (somewhat) ZenexSickness being crazy good protosses who play different than any other protosses (which i guess makes sense that sage n jyp are still in code A) but it feel odd to put them on that level

Lol I'd like to see any protoss not play "kinda really bad" on the garbage that is Dual Sight.

I thought Puzzle would be great right after winning code A... I mean he played really well back then (even moving to SlayerS), also I was hoping for a code S JYP and maybe Huk getting to at least ro8. But after seeing MC drop I'm sure that this is gonna be another bad season for Toss (maybe Sage and JYP to up and down but no way they stand a chance to win code A imo)

I feel the same way unfortunately. After watching the games today I continue to feel frustrated and unhappy with protoss in the GSL and fear that there might come a time where we cant watch protoss for more than one series each GSL

There have been evolutions on both sides in pvz. It's not like we're all still trying to play like Cruncher did. None of the 4-6 month old builds are being used from any race in any matchup as far as I can tell.

Sage or JYP is definitely the best up and coming protosses. Hoping that Sage will win Code A.
|
I'm excited but don't really want to get my hopes up until he does well in the individual leagues.
|
JYP, Oz and Sage repping, and TAiLS is a boss!
|
MVPTails has a lot of potential. Don't wanna hype him up too much, but he has solid game sense and the ability to compete with the best.

I think some of the games today have given me some confidence back in protoss play

me as well; I feel like I finally have a reason to actually pay for the gsl vods to dissect some of these guys' games.

i've seen enough GSTL games from not-so-famous players where they beat someone whom they shouldnt be able to, then ppl start talking about them/hype them up, then they just disappeared again cuz they never did good enough in individual league where best of 3 or best of 5 matches are used.

I don't suppose the MVPtails vods are available if you don't have a GSTL season pass?

Did you guys see the games I saw? He won on Crossfire by blind countering 1-1-1
Then he beat Nestea because he just let him walk by with a ton of DTs into his main without detection. He lost his main - and Nestea STILL would have won with the drop if it didn't get caught with blink. Tails got lucky against Nestea
He showed a great defense against MVP. To call him the next protoss hero is a huge stretch. I really hope he continues to do well, but mechanically he didn't seem to have figured anything crazy out against Nestea.

His coach said he was confident about MVP and Nestea...
If I had to guess, I'd say they trained him as a sniper.
