His actual execution/control/decision making/reactionary play isn't as impressive edit: don't think he wins blizzcon though. Toss isn't particularly broken right now, and herO doesn't have what it takes to win events when that's the case (although he looked legitimately good in ST2 which is rare) You are really mistaken if you honestly believe that, while he may not be the best protoss in terms of reactionary play and decision making his execution, control and multitasking is arguably the best of any protoss. Do you honestly think that any top protoss player could kill a zerg like dark with double archon drop 'if they really wanted to'? Your bias is really obstructing any reasonable analysis it seems. | ||

I admire Stats for his impenetrable defense, Zest for his impeccable decisions, and sOs for his impossible builds, but herO brings nothing other than bullshit. Superbly executed bullshit, to be fair, but bullshit nonetheless. His ST1 victory relied entirely on abusing the hell out of Adept/Phoenix, and he slumped significantly with the Adept nerf. Nobody can ask for a better definition of patchtoss than that. In fairness, herO looked legitimately good in ST2, and I think he might be the best Protoss at the moment, but I also hope he falls early at Blizzcon. | ||

At what order will we get Stats, Dark, Rouge, and Innovation? Why do so many people misspell Rogue  At a guess, I would say: 4. Dark (no recent trophies) 3. Stats (dropped out early in ST) 2. Rogue (insane form) 1. Inno (because Inno) I expect one of those four to win Blizzcon. A grand finals with Rogue vs Inno or Dark vs Inno would be fucking epic. | ||

I think herO lacks in the "smart" department but his execution is where he excels at. herO is the kind of guy to only go for one build no matter the map and stick with it. Who you're describing sounds more like sOs. herO's execution isn't exactly jaw-dropping, it's good but don't think it's something to hype up. People say his micro is amazing but I'm yet to see examples of him doing what other protosses can't. Playing a more micro heavy style (lots of agression with stalkers, warp prisms etc) than other protosses doesn't make him automatically the best either. His lategame army control and awareness certainly isn't. He tends to choose a specific build/strategy for each map and go for it. That build tends to either simply win or lose, close/back-and-forth games aren't common. Reactionary play also seems to be his weakness. This is why I've always said choosing builds is his best skill. He's preperation skills are underrated. (I've also always said that he only wins when protoss is broken, I guess people don't share that sentiment but he's yet to prove me wrong on that) | ||

Well my opinion on herO didn't change but his team did :/ (and you're right about the Zest part but idk what that has to do with herO) | ||

herO is easier to devalue because his only win came from adept-pheonix being broken (and this was essentially confirmed by blizzard nerfing it soon after) | ||

Clean macro players of any race get more respect than dirty cheesers of any race, simple as that. Gtfo with your victim complex. | ||

I don't mind guys like Classic, Trust, or Neeb either. So yh I don't think it's just because he plays toss | ||
