The fan picks don't really matter though. The pro picks really show what's up.

Players ranked in the top 64 in MLG got to vote. They are the top 3 chosen off a list. Like 3 points for a first place vote, 2 points for a second place vote, and 1 point for any other vote.

That's hardly an essay. It's a stream of consciousness (or wall of text), and when you can write multiple paragraphs without feeling as if you just wrote, well, multiple paragraphs..then you know you're a fan.

Best protoss is a bit tough... They seem to specialize in one matchup, and otherwise be flipping coins for victory. However, I am overall most impressed with Naniwa's play. His PvZ is actually scary good. MC relies on insanely good control to win. Naniwa relies on insanely good decisions WITH insane control to win. HuK... Top 3 control isn't going to win you a GSL. Good job on ending the foreigner drought at MLG and beating MC to do it, but I still gotta go with Naniwa on this.


Naniwa is 1-12 in GSL, that's all you need to know to realize that he isn't the best Protoss. He's had 3 chances in Code A and went 0-4 in Blizzard cup.


its fan's vote man. take it easy.
see the pro's vote?
Mc is pro's choice.

Wow, poll voters are so fanboy-biased it's incredible. I mean, I'll admit that I voted for Boxer as "most unpredictable player" even though he tends to use the same builds over and over again just because I'm a big SlayerS fanboy, but Nestea losing out to DRG as best Zerg? Naniwa getting 40% of the "Best Protoss" vote? At least the Teran category shows there is justice in the world with MVP getting a dominating 60% of the vote. (I voted for MMA, of course.)

I'm sorry but some of these are totally off. Best protoss = Naniwa? Naniwa had a good show this year but he did not put up the results that HuK or MC did. People are too bias and want someone from their own country / continent to win, so they default to that person over the more suited person.


If these votes are based on MLG results there is no question about it, NaNi was definitly the protoss with best results.
MC not even close


"No question" might be a slight stretch.

Dallas: Huk 10th, Naniwa 1st
Columbus: Huk N/a, Naniwa 6th
Anaheim: Huk 7th, Naniwa 8th
Raleigh: Huk 7th, Naniwa 12th
Orlando: Huk 1st, Naniwa N/a
Providence: Huk 5th, Naniwa 2nd

Literal cumulative total : Huk 30, Naniwa 29 (note: not entirely meaningful as higher results tend to be weighted more in people's eyes)

The first MLG/GSL exchange program (and the influx of Koreans) came at MLG Columbus. Dallas (the prior event) was Huk's worst result, while it was Naniwa's best (by placing). Naniwa did worse and worse at each MLG with Koreans until providence, while Huk's got better (again, until providence). Their head to head was 4-4 by my count.

I suppose it depends on what you think is more impressive. I would say that when the Koreans came in full force (Columbus and beyond) Huk has been more impressive and therefore I would give him the nod. Personal preference I suppose, but "definitly," hell no.

The fan votes don't really matter that much. The Pro votes are what really mean something.

Unless these are based purely on MLG results, some people shouldn't even be nominated in some categories. And how the hell is MC under rated at all, many people still view him as the best Protoss up to date in terms of overall performance.
Opinions are like phasers -- everybody ought to have one

wtf? why was mvp 70% voted best macro? he's constantly over queueing scvs(sometimes to 4 at each cc), macro slips to 1000 more than three times before the 20 minute mark passes, just general stuff like that he really lacks on.


You could say that about any SC2 player in existence. I've watched most of MVP's replays, and the replays of many other Terrans, and although I didn't go through the trouble of calculating SQ, just in general, MVP's macro is probably the cleanest I've seen. Bomber might have been more efficient 5 months ago, but as of right now, I no longer think he has the edge over MVP.

However, MVP does have more "off games" than people think - carpal tunnel, exhaustion, etc. are probably all contributing factors. For example, his play at Providence was especially lackluster for some reason (many of his replays at that event showed those symptoms you mentioned).

*Note, these are all tournament games. Of course, player XYZ might be a better macro player at home while not under tournament pressure, but that's not relevant nor is it meaningful.
