Of course there is really no order to them. Nobody is first or last on this list. These are people who really are what I want to be as a player, and as a person. Of course this list is not complete. It'll never be complete. I will always be adding players and people whom I feel inspire me. Since I almost feel this is my thanks to them. It is my thanks ot the players who inpire me. So I will never finish this. One day you may look at this and have 50 players on this list. I'll never know.
RGNFuture- What can I say about Future. He has been my coach for almost a year now. The guy is awesome. I don't think he has ever failed to take a extra few minutes to take a question if I have one. I have had the chance to learn so much about him over the past year. He is such a good guy with a huge amount of knowledge and potential. I've always admired his dedication and his passion for the game.
Every lesson I've had with him has been a pleasure. I don't know where I'd be as a player without him. Really I can't say how much he has been a motivator and a mentor to me. Such a cool guy, even if I just need to vent about esports drama, he listens and always give wonderful advice.
If anyone deserves a #1 place on my list of people I admire in the sc2 scene. Its him no doubt.
Jinro- The guy who first made me scream at the screen over a game. I remember it fondly. It was the GSL open season 3, round of 8 I believe. Such a solid player who really shows what years of dedication can give you. I remember the countless evenings I would pour over his replays and learn from his builds and try to use them. Jinro made them look so easy, little did I know the amount of practice required to use them.
He is a player's player. He shows passion and shows the emotion like no other. He is always a member of the communty to us and always we see him randomly posting in threads. We really don't see that from other liquid members as often though.
TLO- TLO reminds me of the guy who would see the lonely kid by the wall alone and would offer to play catch with him. That seems to be TLO's MO. TLO has such a big heart. Raising money for doctors without borders, and always giving a helping hand to his fellow pros by opening the house in sweeden.
His hardwork hasn't come without difficulties. But coming back from CTS he has raised the staked and has come back better than ever. I cannot wait to see how he does in the future. There needs to be more TLO's going around.
Sheth- I remember the first time I took notice of Sheth. It was a gosucoaching weekly. My first round enemy was none other than ROOTSheth. I didn't really know much about him. But he impressed me with his play and of course I lost.
Sheth is one of those guys who we need in ESPORTS. If there were more Sheth's. We could apply to be the most nice competition in the world. Sheth's manner is one I want to have. Always there for the community and for his fans.
BoxeR- Need I say more.
White-Ra- How much more do I need to say about White-Ra. To him fan support is more important that money. That is a attitude that makes White-Ra amazing and a personal sc2 hero of mine. Also his special tatics help me win a lot of game. That can't really hurt.
Artosis- Not really a player persay. but as a ambassador for ESPORTS. Such a amazing guy who does what he loves for a living. Always giving to the community which his videos and keeping himself busy all the time with starcraft.
Day[9]- Of course this is a no brianer. Nobody has changed ESPORTS in the west as much as he has. Such a amazing character who gives it all for the commuity. Nobody can hate day9.
Strelok- Such a ambitious Terran. Really a underrated player who has only to will it in his mind to take out the best and he will. Such good manner too. He has the dedication I can only hope to achieve.
