And so Nal_rA's rush was executed perfectly and the Protoss are declared the strongest race (lol?). I guess you can never go wrong with rA and Anytime on your team, or Bisu who I can't remember ever seeing lose a match. Hopefully the next SuperFight will be just as great as this one.

Final Score:
Terran 3:3
Zerg 2:4
Protoss 4:2

[Super Fight] "Protoss is Not a Weak Race" Securing the Highest Rank Protoss Interview

- You took the position as the strongest race through the Superfight.
▶ Coach Lee Jee Ho = Our first personal team event victory it seems. We are so happy.
▶ Kim Taek Yong = Many say that Protoss is a forsaken race, but I am glad for securing this victory. Protoss is not a weak race.
▶ Oh Young Jong = I was anxious to battle ever since the second superfight took place. I got to battle by the vote of fans, but next time I'll make sure I get there by skills.
▶ Kang Min = Being able to compete with the younger generation of gamers made this a significant tournament for me. Securing victory made this even more joyful.

- Protoss fans seem to be feeling particularly united.
▶ Kang Min We are feeling it too. There are many fans that support other races, but protoss fans seem to send especially passionate support. They are a great source of strength for tournaments.

- You have shown the incredible strength to defeat the upper rankings 1 and 2. Also, you showed over-the-margin class by making a scout.
▶ Kim Taek Yong = I'm glad that I could defeat the most elite considered progamers. Setting my attitude that I can do well is what I consider to be force behind my victory. Even on a daily basis, I've thought that Lee Yeon Yeoul is a great player. I'm glad I achieved victory. I became very anxious because this was my first tournament against Lee Yeon Yeoul, but I studied the map very well and so, I believe was able to contain Lee Yeon Yeoul's style.

- After the MSL play offs, you faced off against Mah Jae Yoon and won again.
▶ Kim Taek Yong = Mah Jae Yoon is always a good player, in my opinion. Whether it's senses or control or overall management, he's gifted in every area. Especially, whether it's because he has much stage experience, he doesn't seem to get nervous on stage. Wherever you meet him, he is going to be a hard opponent.

- The number of protoss players pale in comparison to that of other races.
▶ Kang Min = It's true that there aren't that many protoss players. Still, whenever protoss face difficulties, whether it's with Oh Young Jong or Kim Taek Yong, it feels as if we are the gem in the rough that strike upon the moment on stage. I feel that there is much to learn from the recent younger generation.

[CodeEphyon]

y supongo tu juegas mejor?

[zeromk5]

And just like that, he takes down one of the greatest Zerg players in pro gaming history. Absolutely brilliant.

[Cheesekai]

ye and all the structure of zerg needs to sacrifice a drone

[stoneheart92]

i agree zerg has a unique system of combat and macro. zerg rush is hard to do, zerg to defend early push. can't make drone, units and expand like toss and terran does...
