Hi everybody who might read this! First blog post, hurray :D
I actually have something to talk about. My bedroom in my father's house was a total mess for the last 5 years, you could barely walk in there without stepping on something and it was really, really dirty. So this year, I wanted to do something about it. My goal was to clean everything, remove the old stained wallpapers and replace them with a grey paint and a green wallpaper.
On top of that, one wall would become my own Stacraft Wall of Fame where I would put the names of every Starcraft and Starcraft2 players that I love (because of their skills or their personnality), support and wish they do great in the future <3 People often say we only remember the winners. Well I don't, so that's my way of saying it, I remember all these people and I root for them ! I started playing Starcraft in 1998 (i was 8) with a 20hours/month internet access and a 56kbits/s modem, I still remember the name of the guy that taught me how to play and I still love Starcraft.
The result isn't perfect, I have the painting skills of a 3 years old boy but I'm nonetheless happy about it ! I tried to respect the lower and upper cases but I know made some mistakes. I might also have confused the races sometimes. I spent more than 20 hours doing it, my brain got tired and I couldn't correct anything, the last grey painting set I bought was lighter than the one on this wall, it would have been visible.
Random order for the names, I'll put the full listing when I find the motivation to do it Retired players are intended, It's not because they don't play anymore that I stopped loving them. And I didn't follow broodwar as much as I wish I did so there aren't much bw pros.. I originally wanted to put a column for " Casters and personallities" but then i forgot and ran out of space...

Hey ! you're on my wall :D:D I'm so very happy you like it !

I know i put a lot of names there but this way it's really all the people i like, not only the most successful ones. Now you can see how painful it is for me to watch MLGs and see them getting eliminated until one of them finally wins ! That's also why i don't join any fanclub, would be too much work ...
From my early listing i had 100+ zergs 80+ protoss and 90+ terrans.

JangBi, Reach, Nal_rA, BeSt, Sun, Midas, XellOs, Light, firebathero, Iris, GGPlay, ChoJJa, Soulkey, EffOrt, ZerO... just off the top of my head, and while not all of them were champions, I'm sure they were far more accomplished than some other players included in this Wall of Fame. Just saying. (and yes I know you were trying to be facetious, but actually I would say that some pretty big names are missing)
But I really like the idea and think it's pretty neat that you took the time and put in the effort to make this wall.
I wager you can't modify some errors? For example you have a player "horror" under Terran; if you're referring to Incredible Miracle's horror, he plays Zerg. You also have TheBest under Protoss; the FXO (formerly fOu) player is Terran. :S
But overall, really nice. I wish I could do something similar on one of my walls :/
I said i didn't follow broodwar closely so yeah, a lot of bw pro are missing I heard about them but i never saw them play or not enough to actually remember to put their names here. But firebathero is in it, he switched to protoss for sc2 but i decided to put him under Terran anyway and Soulkey is here too. Effort is a pure mistake, i'll add him tomorrow. For sc2 the most famous players missing are Destiny and Lalush. Lalush because he made white-ra angry so i just couldn't add him to my wall and destiny because i'm not really a fan of the guy. It's not that i dislike him but i barely noticed him during tournaments and all the drama surrounding him made me chose not to add him.
Someone said about TheBest earlier but i didn't know about horror, thank you for telling me ! I will to have to try something to correct the mistakes, like finding new names to replace them where they are actually.

Thanks for the feedback !
Ahh I see, no problem man. Like I said, it's really cool.
If you don't mind though, I would like to warmly recommend what is considered one of the best TvZs and a really epic match overall:
EPT
Still cool though
