You might want to sort the Terran players in recent times by their teams (SKT Terran, CJ Terran, Sparkyz Terran, MBC Terran, Pantech/Wemade Terran, etc.), otherwise you basically have just a long list without any structure to it.
I think it's pretty obvious he was sorting them in order of time (when the players became prominent), and I like this order.

I want Zerg Lineage and Protoss Lineage
PLEASE

Nice list. I can really tell it is the work of a newcomer, though.
It would be nice if a veteran were to get in-depth and more specific on each player, though, to make it truly worthy of being featured on the front page.
for example:
The Tornado Terran is the most sucessful StarCraft player of all time and his vulture control is that of legends. His spot on the list is a given.
Not only does mentioning just vultures sort of discredit The Nada, but perfect vulture control really isn't that hard (Don't flame me for this; I know vulture control is very impressive when it alone wins the game, but all I'm saying is it's really not that hard to do it and it would be nice for thread to have a little more details
Nice thread, though

I am not sure about Midas, though only FBH was a countender to him...

as stated before a bit brief, but a good read none the less. I did learn a few new things like maynarding, I never new that before.

Midas and Iris both took it to savior in his prime...fbh was around to kick savior while he was going down for the most part.

st. eagle invented walling? wow.

I think some people are underestimating how insanely difficult it is to list all the players that helped shape the way we play a certain race, not to mention come up with an adequate description for each player. It's next to impossible to truly appreciate the innovations and mastery of the older generation of players if you missed their era.
I'm never going to try to do a project of this scale (I'd love to if I had the knowledge) but I have to say this is a pretty solid list of the notable terran players. There's some details that need fixing though. I'll add a short note for St. Eagle. I personally never watched him play, but he is pretty well known, and it's not that hard to get some basic information on him if you can read Korean.
St. Eagle: Many people credit this guy for making TvP on a high level playable. He is known for being the first person to successfully use the 1 factory expansion build on television. Known as the “father of mechanic play”, not because he was the first one to utilize factory units against protoss, but because he modernized the match up.
After learning how to defend with minimal troops with the art of walling-in from Ssamjang himself, St. Eagle abused vultures (with an efficiency never seen before) to keep the protoss at bay while massing tanks for that killer push. This may seem like common sense now, but back then, it was said to be revolutionary. Boxer himself mentioned that he was heavily influenced by St. Eagle’s VODs.

Why is Iris there? He's not the only 'Agressive' Terran.

the reason why nada is on there is not just because he's the most successful player of all time, it's because his (at the time) unreal mechanics raised the bar significantly

Iris on this list is just lol.....he only became know for putting up good fights against Savior. This was mostly due to them being on the same team. And if anyone knew what Savior was going to do it was Iris.
