Pusan might have the best win % pvz in pro leagues atm (not sure) but he has yet to stand the test of longevity in comparison to Reach afaik. as far as non koreans go: Arcneon isnt to bad these days in this mu Draco has always been nice albeit inconsistant imo Testie for jewish style aka fe to sair/reaver and other technical styles Mondragon actually has a very powerful basic style just does the little things right You can find replays on gosugamers.net wgt.com or tl.net for some nice examples, or someone could kindly link you to the korean rep sites and even the chinese ones. | ||

Best in Korea: Nal_rA(sair/reaver style at least) or Anytime. Best of all-time: Pro.NT_Sonjjang aka finalace - he was acknowledged by ALOT of players as the best PvZ player, but his PvT was really really horrible(which isnt that strange because he was a very microoriented player) T_T Many would say GARIMTOi or IntoTheRain are best alltime too, which is ok. | ||

The game is very microintensive involving goons and lurker drops. JJu being @ 6 and Sonjjang @ 3. GARIMTOi was GARIMTOs gamei ID a long long time ago when Yosh, Smuft, and Nazgul played there. Oh and btw Sonjjang used Pro.NT_Ryoko in his last games before he retired. | ||

Best micro and unit control among those mentioned is Reach imo, and clearly so. Though he sometimes botches games because of poor builds/strat or just plays too risky and presses too much when he should consolidate etc. But that also makes him interesting to watch. Edit: True, I forgot foru. Terato and rainbow has done well recently, but they haven't really achieved anything and seem to lack consistency. | ||

All of the current top protoss players are great pvz players - they have to be, because they waded thru the entire zerg population of korea to get where they are. Look into some games from kingdom and ra, when those two were on top of everything they put reach on the sideline and ran the whole show themselves. Nowadays anytime and pusan are both pretty much unbeatable by zergs, while Rock held the best winning % against zergs a little while ago (not sure if he still does). All of these gamers have great sense of timing, so either should fulfull your need. All of them have very entertaining styles as well, so just pick up all you can find and enjoy That is... quite unfair. I mean he did beat Yellow for 3rd place, though I admit yellow is rather weak ZvP. He defeated chojja quite recently in a BO5 and did a decent job against IPX. Nal_ra, I don't remember him playing more BO3+ against zergs and winning them more than Reach, and maps play a role etc. But yeah, I guess one year ago I would say Nal_ra and Kingdom were the top PvZs with Reach just behind, but Reach clearly the PvT monster of those 3. | ||

though I think the emphasis when choosing Reach would be as someone mentioned 'longevity' but then again, I still don't think Reach could claim the title of top pvz even if that were the case. Kingdom certainly has a talent for pvz, so does Rock. Nal_rA is probably the most notorious PvZ'er just because his style is so unique and regardless of that his game statistics put him up there with the best of the best. anyone who says foru, could not be more wrong lol.. but yea suffice to say in pro gaming circles his pvz is probably C level. Anyway my pick for best Pvz currently: Anytime[gm] All time best Pvz: Nal_rA | ||

They both have performed well recently. Additionally, Pusan claims to win about 90% of practice PvZ (and he's on POS w/ july jesus) Reach tends to be held back by his PvZ abilities. In most tournaments, he does well until he reaches a zerg, at which point he struggles | ||

Anyway, as far as I can remember, he won 2-0 PvZ and lost a TvZ but I'm not sure, it might have been more. Otherwise the rest of the games he mentions are from somewhere else o,O | ||

He and all the smart gamers today, who were around when he was, know that the top Protoss players of today arent shit, all lazy, and not creative. hopefully Anytime will get more known, then play in more leagues, and start playing his own way and have trademark moves, even though those dt's he uses are cute. my favorite toss players of all time in order: 1.GARIMTO 2.Grrrr 3.Anyppi 4.Nazgul 5.Smuft | ||

And now he even rapes them pretty bad almost each time while this is true, there are not alot of pusan pvz reps as of late (as with all pros), imo they arent the best pusan has churned out at pvz, he has some good 1.10 games but like you said, reach and ra are both pvz gods... however ra's style is hard to pull off so :S | ||

Who cares about this rank since the topic starter has simply stated that he wanted top pvz replays ? That means just show'em one of the top P vs one of the top Z, i really don't fucking care who's playing that's all T_T When someone is mentionning that X is truly the best we're then going to have a LONG endless debate. FFS just say X is prolly one of the best to look around that enough to know which replays we'd watch. Thanks. | ||

Also i think Incontrol is pretty biased to mention Mondragon as a good PvZ player but leaving FiSheYe out, who is by far the better PvZ gamer. He can beat and already beat all the good zergs. Except mondi and korean pros! But as for the best PvZ i'll go with Nal_rA. He simply breathes PvZ. But i think watching his replays or vods wont help, cause his play is never able to copy. Not in a single point ;p. SO its useless.. I think watching the best foreign tosses in PvZ helps much more, since their style is at least easier to copy. Take a look at Fisheye, Arcneon, Draco ( especially on Nostalgia that guy is pretty good =D ) | ||

Ask anybody that knows, a mondragon PvZ is up there with the rest in non korean terms. Im not necessarily biased, id be the first to tell you dissy will lose to nub ass t's O_O | ||

I think it doesnt, if you do, well.. at least i know not all guys from netherlands are like you ;P For example i love Frank Carsten, who you obviously dont know 8/ ! He is an amazing player ! But i a ''other'' ''game''. I dont think fisheye's PvZ is great. For sure it isnt compared to his pvp and pvt, but i think fisheye's pvz is still better than mondis..

Srry for offering fisheye one of the most successful tosses around. Doing always great in wcg, dominating germany ( with mondi ). So many tournaments won ect.. How stupid to mention fisheye in a thread which asks about good PvZ gamers.. how st.. u understand me ? 8{ | ||

Bringing up Fisheye's wcg performance is nice, but what zerg has he beaten in wcg? holy shit.. u ignorant.. uuhh.. whatever So right now u said mondis Pvz > Fishy's PvZ Okey, no one can really prove who is right. But FiSheYe beat Testie in wcg !? 2:0 one PvT and one PvZ . FiSheYe played pretty decent vs ogogo on pgt, ect.. He beat Trek back in wcg04, who isnt that bad in ZvP either. Especially if he's training. THe fish vs trek games were one of the coolest wcg games ive seen so far.. I cant really believe that u think mondis PvZ > fisheye's PvZ .. Do NOT call me biased if u say mondis PvZ > FiSh's PvZ. T_T ANd i know that fisheyes pvz isnt as good as his pvp and pvt, but still he can beat almost any zerg, except maybe mondi. He already beat and can beat ret, sen, ect.. ect.. But i'll stop here.. We cant prove who is better but i dont see a fault of me to name fish in THIS specific thread T_T | ||
