Right. So virtually every staff member in this thread has no clue what their talking about, right?
Get the fuck out with such a useless post.

You're all so cool and knowledgeable.

Yeah, bisu did a lot to revolutionize PvZ, however I would say its similar to how reach changed PvT to macro based when he encountered Oov? Both happened against bonjwa's
Garimto was good and anytime and Stork just helped bring about the macro based Protoss play that we see todayy, Bisu refined that play and Nal_rA kind of started it all if I remember right?
If what I said is wrong, just ignore it and pretend I said Nal_rA arb rush game = SICK.

bisu cause of his love affair with savior

ugh can i take my vote off from bisu and put it on nal_ra? i gotta agree from what i read from peoples comment, nal_ra was the one who started all of this revolution and bisu is the one continuing nal_ra's work since he doesnt play anymore. if you watch games of nal_ra and bisu you will see a big difference cuz nal_ra is like the protoss version of boxer, doing all creative plays and showing great games. its like you just go watch nal_ra play because his a fun player to watch just like boxer and it doesnt matter whoever wins because it was a fun match up to watch. nal_ra shows great games and after nal_ra era was over someone had to take over and bisu took over i guess

MODS
Is there anyway you can sort Join date / voted for?
I still remember watching nal_ra play and thinking "Oh my god that has never been done before". I think bisu and stork have pushed protoss play beyond its farthest dreams but I believe that once nal_ra entered the scene protoss play changed dramatically (On battle.net and the pro scene)

I would pick nal_ra but since I started watching progamer after his dominant time I will have to pick bisu. Even though I know nal_ra deserves it. LOLCAT!

that's a great way to start a flame/seniority war, not that it would happen, but.
a better question to ask is how many here that voted could honestly say they've loyally followed starcraft, say, pre-Savior era? I for one did not vote on this poll because I didn't until then, and I'm wondering how many Bisu votes come from those who couldn't restrain themselves. Longtime followers of the starcraft scene do seem a bit quick to count bisu out. He is the name of Protoss now for sure. It's actually interesting that none of this is as concrete as the top contributors to Terran play over the years, or Zerg play for that matter.

I voted for reach because he invented the zealot. Blizzard modeled the unit after him.

Voted Bisu, biased because I'm post-Ra, though his highlight vids are amazing.

the question is how influential bisu can be if hes around for such a 'short' time compared to the others..

Bisu 3:0 sAviOr
I think nobody would forget it

You missed Newton, that guy basically created Physics and Calculus, he did more than Einstein. If Protoss was Mathematics, Nal_rA would be Euler. einstein arguably did just as much, for one, he found one of the extremes at which newtonian physics breaks down. his work on GR with tensor fields / differential geometry was basically the biggest application of that new math too. "I have stood on the shoulders of giants."
Apparently, that quote applies not only on mathematics, but also StarCraft.

imma huge Bisu fan.... but Ra is the man.

Oh my god, this is the best analogy for protoss players ever hahaha
Also Bisu is probably Niels Bohr

When Ra was using the FE, and everyone was 2 gating, did that downplay nal_rA's contribution for the Protoss race? Was the fact that he was just plain better (since the others didn't quite see the potential in FE) that the other Protoss players during his prime, pull him down?
What if during nal_rA's prime, people started copying his Forge FE, does that make him better then? Because what I understand from the second paragraph is that Bisu got your vote because he managed to create something that was versatile, and therefore, influenced the modern PvZ
Uhm you can opt not to answer this because GinNtonic included the "modern PvZ" part in the thing. To answer both of you in the same breath... Ra's FE builds were not the same as Bisu's by any stretch. If they were, every Protoss would have started using them. Ra was creative in that he was thinking outside the box and trying to create builds which were unique, but to be honest, he just didn't have the success rate with it that would encourage other Protoss users to use the same builds. Yes, Ra would FE, but he would lose a good portion of the time with it too. There wasn't the same follow-up or flexibility as the modern day Bisu build. So it's not really an issue of "Ra did it first, Bisu popularized it" -> Ra never did the same build. Obviously if he did, we wouldn't be debating this. To the point of modern PvZ vs traditional (2+ years ago) PvZ, yes, modern Protoss is dominated by Bisu's actions. But traditional PvZ has not nearly the same amount of influence from Ra. Yes, again, Ra was creative/ahead of his time, but he did not influence his race as a whole like Bisu did. You wouldn't suddenly see every Protoss copying something Ra did. You DID see that with Bisu. That's influence.
Im in love with your posts :D
I think the point is: there is so much people saying "this is bisu build", when it is not really one, that it created somekind of "hate" for it use. Bisu build is so much "godfied" that its attacked just for that
Daezang is the creator of Bisu Build as much as Anytime/Grr/Reach are the creators of Nal_Ra strats.
