RoC ladder was hard as hell. Fury needed a mention too i cant remember more  i miss wc3 p.s. imba BM
Sweet was the first one to get to level 50 on ladder. ShowTime later had topped all 3 ladders with 3 different accounts
I think Madfrog is overrated. He had like a 6 month span where he was amazing, but other than that he was mediocre at best. I think quitting early helped him to save that "legendary status", I always thought he was given more credit than he deserved because of that tbh.
While most foreigners (Inso, Dominator, HeMan and later 4K squad) failed hardcore in Korea, MaDFroG landed a contract with the best team and performed in both teamleague/individual league. You gotta respect that. Think about Jinro man

It is funny when Soju is not even mentioned. He was there when competition 'took off', and he and Remind were unofficially crowned as best 2v2 team of all time, better than Moon+Grubby, when 'certain leagues' took place. Not to deduct from his 1v1 skill.

how big of a copout is a power rank with a three way tie for first
It's a must to prevent an endless discussion.
Too bad the list won't include Insomnia, he holds a special place in my heart before Sky came along and went on to be the beast his is.

@ Monk : FoV.
FaTC before 2004 would deserve a mention, like HeMaN, but they disappeared much too soon. FoV however, is not to be forgotten.
Neither is Space, who beats everyone in my heart.

Hi, Noir. I remember you. Also,
This power rank only includes players who dabbled in SC2 and mostly serves to give an idea of how good the top players today were in WC3. The most notable players who never tried to switch include: Fly, TH000, Ted, Lucifer, Fov, Sweet, Reign, GoStop, SoJu, Zacard, Insomnia, Deadman, and HoT.

Oh. I read that this morning, and just.. forgot -_- T_T
You remember me ? who remembers admins xD <3

Is  SoJu different from the one you were referring to? If not then he was one of the top europeans in the beta and early WoL, but lived in Korea with werra clan so we never saw much of him.

One day, TH000 will play Starcraft 2 and it will be glorious.

SoJu from WC3 was korean
Also, I added achievements!

I'm surprised Go)Space hasn't been mentioned. For somebody of his condition, he was a beast.

TeD and lucifer where? Those two i consider the best undead players ever. Creo should be on Tod spot and Tod lower. Th000 was the best random player imo and is also missing in this list.

Awesome Power Rank, but a lot of you need to actually read what this is before you get all up in arms over people missing.

Agreed. I followed the WC3 scene very casually and my friends and I used to love finding TH000 reps, loved that guy.

Awesome work monk!
Seeing all those names, I can't help but think "what if..." While it's great we get to see legends like Grubby and Tod in the scene, it would have been nice if high apm monsters like Moon go 100% SC2.
|
I didn't follow WC3 a ton just because I was too young, though I watched some shoutcasting videos, I wish I could have watched it more, I heard that Grubby was just insane.
|
There should be a separate UD only power rank. Might have to just do a top three or five though cause UD players don't exist ^_^
Also Moon > Lyn > Grubby.

WC3 has a richer history than is represented by the WC3 players who transitioned to SC2. Still it is interesting. It looks to me that the EU SC2 scene is built quite substantially on the foundations of the EU WC3 scene, which itself was built on the BW scene (madfrog, didi8, tillerman) most of the early WC3 RoC top players were most likely Blizzard veterans from BW and WC2. Basically this is Blizzard's "Goodwill" era, which they have been squandering ever since.
What I think is more interesting is; where is the new blood in the foreign scene?

man, i wish TH000 switched to sc2. he'd revolutionize the shit out of the metagame and it would be beautiful.

no such list is complete without ANGRY_KOREA_MAN
