This sort of gets overlooked because Terrans and Zergs have been far more successful. For example, there's no Protoss player AFAIK who's accomplished close to what Maru or Rogue have done. It seems like there are a bunch of players you could make a case for depending on what criteria you give more importance to: Stats Trap Parting Zest MC Classic Rain sOs herO (not Liquid HerO) | ||

He always felt the most "protoss" to me. And even after his primes he was still good for upsetting Maru 3:0 at WCS or just recently Ruining TYs Super tournament hopes. | ||

IMO, if there isn't a consensus great (which based on the comments doesn't seem to be one), then you go with the guy who did it first and paved the way | ||

2 Parting - Soul train innovator, aggressive, great micro, solid macro behind 3 Stats - Great defensive macro toss Wildcard : Zest - Maxes out on gateway units and wins, but definitely can play macro games. Has his own style that works. I guess you could argue Rain but it's been too long since I've seen his play. Maybe I'd place Rain first if my memory served me better. MC is just too far ago, literally playing a different game. He was great for his time, but I think he would get destroyed by today's player, even given he would be at his best form hypothetically (unpopular opinion). | ||

For me at least, I have to split them into 3 types: Definers, Jack of All Trades, and Polishers. Definers: defined a style of Protoss that went on for as long as the game has; Jack of All Trades: good at everything, but never the best at any point in time; Polishers: took the mantle or improved upon the groundwork laid by the Definers. The Definers: MC: the one who defined the aggressive style of Protoss; Rain: the one who defined the defensive style of Protoss; sOs: the one who defined the strategical adaptability of Protoss. The Jack of All Trades: herO: great mind games, superb offense, defense not so great. Classic: decent at mind games, good defense, and great offense. Trap: look no further than Tastosis commentary, they literally call him the Jack of All trades Protoss The Polishers: PartinG: the guy who built upon MC's aggression with his 'soul' Zest: the guy who refined Rain's playstyle while adding his own risk factor. Stats: the guy that took up Rain's Mantle after Rain retired. Honorable mention to Neeb as the one who changed LOTV PvP | ||

Probably still MC, he literally was Protoss in early WoL and remained competitive for years racking up victories and placements; if not him, Zest. Stats would have been the best if he were capable of winning one of the three World championship finals he played just as sOs, if he could win a Code S; I also think Rain would have been if he played LoTV instead of BW. Trap still has approximately one year(I guess) to secure the title but he would need at least a couple of heavy titles to do so. | ||
