That guy is like my favourite progamer ever. He's a fucking beast, with the best smile in the world. He's huge physically, and it's adorable too see him hunched in the chair going click click click, when he strikes me as the guy who'd be the star athelete in a highschool.

Jaedong's definitely that one player you just have to respect.

Any of the guys who went "all-in" for SC:BW deserve huge amounts of respect, the foreigners especially. It's one thing for a guy like MC to excel and make money off his success, it's another thing entirely to dedicate your career and your life for something where the reward is practically non-existent.

Just to let you know MC did play bw. http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/players/640_MC

He even played in some proleague matches.

Lol. MC's brood war career looks exactly like Pokju's.

Pokju could have been an GSL winner...

Which takes me to my point: Pokju!
The dude quit brood war after realizing that it wasn't for him. Analogous to Creolophus in WC3.

Well just saying he went "all out". I guarantee it he played bw alot more and practiced a lot harder then every foreigner except for Idra (nony/ret didn't last to long in korea while idra lasted 2 or so years).

Mvp for winning a GSL with exploding wrists when no one thought he could do it.

I used to really look up to tossgirl. I was amazed by how fast she got better, and it kind of inspired me.

Got to meet Boxer at the last Blizzcon after his show match with fruitdealer. 3 of us went back stage and he started to sign our posters. When he got got to me, his manager told him no more autographs. He could tell I was heart broken. So, he gave me a pat on the shoulder and bowed and said he was sorry. IMO it was just as good as an autograph if not better. Boxer, highest respect for that man.

Overused photo incoming, but sums up the feeling I have towards this great player that made Esports grow so much.

Edit: Also forgot SavioR, the greatest, greatest Zerg player of all time possibly, but that perished in such a sad way. But he still has a huge place in my heart.

EffOrt. Just something about his play stands out to me, unfortunately I missed out on Pro BW but the replays and vods of him I just find great. Jaedong of course, and Taeja is just ridiculous. Hipster moment but I remember seeing him back on SlayerS and I just had a feeling hed become great. And it turns out he has.

White-rA for sure

Although, all pro players to some degree deserve some respect because it's a hard life style that isn't always so rewarding.

YellOw, who just couldn't beat Boxer in a real league but kept being awesome anyway. I mean seriously, it must hurt to always lose to your rival in important tournaments, and to always fall short in the finals...

Yeah, I'm gonna go unoriginal and say Boxer and Jaedong too. I think I'll try to get/do a poster like Boxer's up on this page with Jaedong, so I can look at both of them when I'm working , to remind me what I'm doing is nothing compared to the sacrifices of other people.
