Funny is not the right word, but it sounded like you knew of both based on your wording. I don't mean disrespect to ig.michael, since he has been around for a while. But there's a big difference even just based on (US) Michael's accomplishments. Anyway, this showmatch will be LIT | ||

I quit before he played I believe, and came back after he stopped, so I only know of his prowess through campfire stories and legends. Can anyone key me in a bit about the history of Michael? ISL - Ro32 ISL2 - Ro16 ISL3 - 5th Place Michael rose through the ranks quite quickly back in 2011/2012 - By the time 2013 came around I think he was pretty much the undisputed 2nd best player outside of Korea behind Sziky. A quick summary on Michael's game play, he's a Zerg player who can (and will) exploit any unit in the game. He always has a plan A, B, C & D. He can play any of the builds and is fairly unpredictable. He'll kill you with the Hydra bust, he'll kill you with a ling run by, he'll kill you by hiding 2 lings, he'll kill you by a guardian/hydra bust (what?). He has a good balance of micro/macro and game sense. He always seems to know what he can get away with. | ||

Back in 2011 I had him as the #3 foreigner behind Sziky/Ace. Below you can find my person rankings back in the day. + Show Spoiler + That being said as a player/manager he was always the hardest person by far to prepare for because you never know what to expect. He has a very non-standard style of play that I have a great respect for. | ||

After playing against everyone on that list multiple games, I'd replace Baku and Flip with Marwin/Bizzy and Draw. Don't forget, Bizzy beat Bisu and Marwin/Sziky would go back and forth. | ||

All these lists are personal opinions anyways. It was a great time to be a broodwar fan. | ||

DraW was easily the strongest protoss at the time, and I'd certainly have put him in the top 5 players at his peak. One of the only protoss to consistently give Sziky a good run. | ||

Haha who knows, who cares, was a list from what almost 6-7 years ago. Draw aka Nb.Astro has always been a very solid toss and up there with em. From my understand that list was from that specific time, and I know me and him were on the national team together for nation wars and he had exams so wasnt playing as much. Or maybe im confusing him with dragon, who knows. | ||
