I don't like Fatal1ty, but he is by far the biggest eSports personality, BoxeR second.
SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

I don't know why commentators are included in the poll -_-. It's obviously Boxer. He's like the father of E-sports. Without him, there could've been no BW today, no E-sports in S.K.(which is the root of the international E-Sports tree). For the SC2 crowd, it also means SC2 wouldn't be as popular as it is today without the community which is made by BW that waited for SC2's release and spread the word to other non-starcraft players so he did contribute a lot to SC2 even if he isn't pwning atm.

Flash and Boxer.

Boxer because he is the biggest historical figure and Flash because he is the best player of the most competitive game.
Day9 is quite important among the Sc2 foreign niche but it is not that big to be honest. I mean ok he can get 10K people for his dailies and 50K+ people if he is casting dreamhack but just take a look at the LoL or EVO stream numbers or the OGN ratings and you will get the point.
Oh and he is just a caster.
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

Boxer, hands-down. I actually misclicked Day9, though I have nothing but respect for him, of course.

Boxer is easily the largest personality, though. Has this not been debated numerous times before?

BoxeR. Nobody else has as much influence on professional gaming as he did.

i had to vote Boxer because he is the biggest personality, but I was tempted to vote for a BW player (FBH) just so that option has more votes than Artosis.

Someone who doesn't like Boxer (heh, yeah right) please do that?

I would call Boxer and Day[9] icons rather than personality. IdrA and White-Ra would be personalities to me. But this is just arguing definitions, so I guess Boxer overall. Day[9] is great, but since Boxer is a player, he is more representative to the scene.

The problem is your asking this on a starcraft forum so obviously we are going to vote a starcraft player.

How can it be anybody other than Boxer? I mean his official fan club had 600,000 members right? That's probably more than the total number of people who have ever heard of Day9.
