Kiwikaki, a player probably most deserving of the ‘creative’ tag in terms of his tactical brilliance at times debuting the Archon toilet. Also the same player picking (I wanna say Stephano?) apart by being the first pro in a meaningful game to really use mothership recall to some of its potential Liquid HerO versus Jaedong, IEM Cologne. A basically failed Soul TrainTM into an even more desperately all-in Soul TrainTM that leads to a legit 5-10 minute constant engagement where he breaks him. What’s the Tester pylon trick? That’s the one I can’t recall. Indeed I can’t even recall Tester at all! Did he change nick at some stage? | ||

Then it was nerfes to requiring 3 pylons and ppl kept doing it. Select did the same, but with bunkers. | ||

On the subject of Scarlett and signature builds, Masa once beat her at an offline WESG qualifier final going proxy 4 rax marine every single game. I've never seen anything like it. At least that's how I remember it, it seems to have been lost to time. | ||

I remember he was real solid for awhile and disappeared or dropped off pretty fast. | ||

What it's made me realize is that I haven't really had favorite players per se since WoL. In BW I had an intense devotion to Stork (a sad thing to have), then in early WoL I cheered very hard for a few players who would never really "make it." After I took my break from SC2 in the BW/Infestor era and came back, though, I never really did that again. I have a lot of players since then that I've liked and even loved, players that won me over and that I cheered for, but never a player that I've been a fan of in that sense where I cheered for them in everything over everyone no matter what and got upset if they lose.

Nony TLO Jinro MC MMA Naniwa Life Mana sOs Neeb Byun Harstem Reynor Oliviera herO Yeah, Trap almost got there, but I think part of that was he was sorta the Protoss hope for such a long chunk that influenced it. In terms of a player I’d religiously follow and be genuinely annoyed with losses I don’t think I’ve really had one since Liquid HerO Which has both positives and negatives. Not for hipster reasons, but I support an Italian team in football. So this lets me watch the English Premier League as something of a neutral. I do miss out a bit on emotional investment, equally I can sorta appreciate teams in a slightly different way. And because I don’t support an English team my workmates can’t make fun of me when they’ve lost at the weekend! | ||

To continue in this: TY vs. PartinG, I believe is some of the most brilliant sc2 we've witnessed. Two very mechanically gifted(well practiced) players, having a battle of the mind. | ||

Innovation I dunno if I’d have him as most abusive, because he was so bloody good anyway. A player like Roro perhaps who did jack shit outside of a particular meta. Parting was a quality player but if there’s a player who abused the most annoying aspects of Protoss it was him. I threw out these ideas in the hope that someone would jump in and help me live some nostalgia. So bumping this haha. I'm a Protoss player (or was), and Protoss has been, and will always be, the weakest race. So any Protoss that wins any game in anyways, is a win in my book LOL. So while I don't like Parting's style that much, but he is a win in my book lol. Hence the reason I love Rain/Has so much, Rain is just the best Protoss at defending (and if you defend well, you will eventually win). Or Has, who throws so much chaos that he can sometimes win against players way better than him. | ||
