As stated before my many, Zest and soO are in very big slumps. They should be beating the players that are beating them. It should have been either Zest or soO in the finals, at least, at Blizzcon. I don't know what happened to them, but they are not playing as well as they should be. These two are considered the best in the world at their race, but right now, they are in slumps that seems like it can't be recovered. I hope they recover soon. Code S won't be the same without Zest or soO winning or reaching the finals.
Are you of the opinion that the success of other players cannot come without the slump of some? What if other players simply caught up, rather than Zest (and soO, though he has looked shaky) falling into some great magical slump? I'm sorry if you think Zest and soO are gods walking the earth, but other players are pretty good at the game too. Zest and soO not getting through may be an upset, but it's not like they lost 0-2, 0-2 in the first rounds of their respective qualifiers. Both got very close.

I disagree that Zest is the best Protoss in the world. I don't think he's been that for a while - ever since he got stomped by TRUE in the Ro8 of GSL Season 2, to be exact. Currently I think there are arguments to be made for both Rain and her0 as the strongest Protoss.

Interesting, this could turn out to be one of the best season to date.

It's time. Marineking, come forth and take what you have been denied for so long. Mvp (the player) is no longer there to stop you. MVP (the team) is behind you.
I am looking forward to this season.

DRG won one season like a decade ago.

What reign? DRG was hardly rocking GSL. And imo this season looks awesome. As always tbh

It is pretty sad. DRG came close not once, not twice, but three times between SSL and GSL :/
Not to mention he's teamless and won't be in SPL.

I'm sad Flash didn't make it ;(
I want Flash to be the best once again, plz!!!
|
I read that list, then scrolled up and looked at the date. Thought this was a pre WCS Code S list lol
This is a good list of players!

Good thing he's always fielded in Proleague, which will hopefully start soon-ish.

Having a GSL with the toughest competition in the world again is an awesome thing.

Good thing all these washed up Code B players who couldn't cut it in Korea anymore made it in 
...
Yes, that was sarcasm.

Currently I think there are arguments to be made for both Rain and her0 as the strongest Protoss.
I don't doubt he's skillwise one of the top 5 but I don't think there's much argument for Rain as the #1. As strong as he might be, he hasn't won a tournament in a year and that one (last year's Hot6ix Cup) was the only tournament he's won since HotS began (granted, he has multiple finals and semifinals finishes in major tournaments, which is why I say he's one of the top 5). I'd put herO, sOs and Zest ahead of Rain right now, and PartinG not too far off either.
All this talk about Zest falling off is ridiculous. There has never been a player that didn't have a bad streak. Even Mvp got knocked out of Code S for a season right in the middle of his reign of terror in 2011.
Edit: As a rough estimation of current form, I ran those 5 players' results (not ratings, actual game results) since September 1 in Aligulac (only offline matches against Koreans) and by percentage of games won I got:
1) herO (66%)
2) PartinG (61%)
3) sOs (59%)
4) Zest (57%)
5) Rain (54%)
