I think Chill said it best. It's also hard to tell how much of Jaedong was influenced by Savior.

Yellow showed that zergs can compete, july showed that they can win, savior showed that they can dominate.
My pick is july. He broke oov's 27-0 streak and made zvt playable again. And his standard build was 3 hat long before ipxzerg took down oov on intothedarkness. He is also the most longlasting zerg ever and as far as I know he is the most sucessful player _ever_ (all races) in the OSL which for whatever reason is regarded as the more prestigious star league.
I remember a thread ages ago, (don't think july had won Good Friend yet) where the topic was which zerg was the best of all time, yellow or july. My pick then was yellow, for beeing the father of zerg and for leading the swarm through the boxer era of ridicolous t>>>>z maps.
but july persevered and I really think he is the best by now.
(obviously jaedong in absolute skill but that's hardly debatable.)

Savior - For his 3 hatch builds which are staples for a long time and still viable now of days esp in zvt
He fine tuned zerg econ play

JulyZerg - For his use of higher apm zerg's that follow up like jaedong with, stacking mutas and high aggression play

Basically
Savior = econ fine tuned
July = agressive fine tuned/micro.


July's play was aggressive but his only shiny matchup was ZvP. You can't be the best z of all time with only zvp


being the only zerg to stop OoV's rampage against the zerg?

his zvp just crushes his other mu, but he was amazing in zvt as well. his zvp just seems to be the only mu he cares about

also zvz he won his osl group which was all z's. to make himself 1st seed (his most recent osl win/golden mouse)

People, people, the OP just wanted an opinion. Obviously, there's no answer to this general question.

July, JD, and Savior all have their unique styles. The only influence they had from each other was 3 hatch muta and 5 hatch hydra. The builds change so rapidly that neither of the 3 has an definitive advantage over the other in how much their contributed to the race. Savior would be the most dominant. In terms of pure skill, Jaedong undoubtedley has that locked down.

I didn't follow espors during its early years so I can't say, but I do like Jaedong, and you have to remember, his career is still in full force.

I think I'm going to have to say julyzerg.

Before him the swarm was an inconsistent breed with lots of low eco play. He fine tuned 2 and 3 hat play in zvt to develop and economy AND still hit strong timing windows. ZvP He shifted the focus from low eco attacks to A>B>C with tech switches. He single handedly changed the game.

The strongest zerg of all time is definately jaedong.

Obviously there are the old greats (YellOw/savior/July), but Jaedong is dominating at a time where it's the hardest to do so. The skill level is so much higher these days, so to do as well as he's doing is so crazily beastly.

Insane facts about Jaedong:

1) He's approaching 70% win-rate on TLPD for his entire career. BEAST.
2) 81.3% ZvZ.
3) Record from the start of this year: 71 wins - 26 losses (73.20%)
(and this is all while absolutely carrying Oz. Other teams are trying their hardest to take him down any way they can with their best/most prepared players, ace match after ace match.)

With the kind of skill level around today, that's pretty amazing. If he can keep it up (which I believe he can), next bonjwa.

Oh man... Blackman was definitely my favourite player ever. He created the sauron zerg!

yellow was by far and away the best zerg for like 6 years running. No other zerg has been clearly that much better then the rest for that long, but yellow always just had boxer beating on him. If not for boxer yellow would be thought of as the greatest of all time. I think that makes him the best zerg in BW history.
When the spirit is not altogether slain, great loss teaches men and women to desire greatly, both for themselves and for others.
