All these polls are going to be biased towards the current best players of their respective races. See how they look after Flash, JD, and Bisu retire. And no I haven't even looked at the results yet.
edit- lol, ofc I was right. I voted for SaviOr, NaDa, and Nal_rA.
Why? Because they all have random capitals in their names. You can't fuck with a guy who has random capitals, you just don't do it man.

v Flash was quite low in the terran polls, while Jaedong was high in the zerg ones... From my part JD's killer stare is what won my heart. 
I'll second that. Jaedong's killer stare is an awsome thing to behold, almost like a natural distaster. You just can't stop it, you just let it do it's thing and hope you live to tell the tale! ^_^

The last poll is disturbing... I mean, Boxer is not winning it. Besides, I really believe Bisu has more fans than Jaedong, imo the top 3 foreign fan favorites are Boxer/savior/Bisu or at least that was the case for the last 3 or so years

I find Ma Jae-Yoon, my heart's desire. People talking about Jaedong's death stare must have forgotten the souvereign far-gazing MJY mask when he was being invincible again. If only one more time I could watch him, on three bases Hive with an opposing army advancing to somewhere he knew it would. Then, suddenly, there would be a couple of lings and a swarm, and then the entire map would be domineered by the swarm and gruesome rape ensue.
Lee Jaedong of course is far more succesful in terms of prizes achievements, so he won my vote for best zerg.
Terran: Lim Yo-Hwan / Lee Yoon-Yeol.
Protoss: Kang-Min / Kim Taek-Yoon.
Seriously, who cares about t and p ^^

NaDa is still the best player in history of SC. He's the true, first macro player, has the most trophies under his belt, and still kicking ass after 9 years in his career. Take that, Boxer.

How I made my decisions:
Favorite player - well, this is easy. Whoever I liked more as a fan. Combination of a lot of things.
Best player - this is a lot more difficult as it can encompass so many things: achievements/titles, pure skill level, innovations, impact on the game's development, etc. In the end, I tried to sum those things up and ultimately decide who I'd bet on if two players played each other at their prime level. It's true that the players' level keep rising overall, but I didn't want to discount the players' raw skill for that reason.
Zerg - This one is easy. Jaedong is my favorite all time, and also the best player. sAvior is my least my favorite for being a dirty fucker, but I have to admit he is the second best after Jaedong. Much love to YellOw though.
Terran - Much more difficult. Best of all time though, I have to say Flash. I know that NaDa has accumulated the most titles, but in my eyes, Flash is the most complete and skilled player that Terran has ever seen. I am probably a little biased but I also consider oov to be a "better player" than NaDa at their primes.
Protoss - Favorites were hard to order because it gets really close after Stork. I love all my Protoss players Best of all time is really close between Stork and Bisu. I'd actually put them as a tie but it is true that Bisu has achieved more than Stork, at least in terms of first-place titles. I ended up putting Stork up there, a lot of it due to bias. Bisu deserves it just as much though if not more.

My choices, following the order of polls:
Zero/Jaedong
MVP/Nada
Free/REACH
REACH
Being a huge Stars fanboy, obviously I'd have to pick their top players of each race for my favorites. My other picks were a little bit more objective. Jaedong and Nada are icons of their race now. Nada beat out Boxer mostly because Nada has more titles and has stayed consistent longer than
Boxer. And Reach... well I hate most modern Protoss players (except for the ones on the Stars, and those old guys on ACE) so I had to pick him.
In that last poll I don't really care for anyone except Jaedong and Reach... and Reach won because I'm a sucker for Mantoss jokes. Surprised that there aren't that many Boxer votes in that last poll, too.

Stork needs way more love across the board!

savior/savior instead the fact tha he fuck us all ^^
|
Zerg: MJY/MJY
Terran: Flash/Flash
Protoss: Stork/Stork(Bisu is close, but unlike many others, I don't think all of Stork's silver medals can be ignored)
Best Ever: Flash
If I might add, the results of the Zerg and "Choose One" polls are pretty much fucked up because of the match fixing scandal. Most former sAviOr fans completely jumped over to the Jaedong bandwagon.

Wth I think there's some random player you put on Zerg... some Savior guy... never heard of him...
AAAAnnnywaayyss..... bottom line... LIM YO HWAN, then Nal_ra cause of old_boy then bisu since people get man crushes on him... ahem...
|
No option for free as favorite Protoss of all time? Poll fails...
Interesting results, but the "favorite" polls are kind of limited. I mean, my all-time favorite Terrans are fbh and HiyA.
I realize you're just looking at the top players from different eras, but meh...

Come on, Julyzerg is the man!

I still adore sAviOr >.< I cant help it... I wish he would be given a chance to redeem himself, he went on his longest winning streak in early 2009 and I feel if he really felt the spark again he could compete, but that will never happen now. T_T
MJY/MJY
NaDa/Flash
Nal_rA/Bisu
sAviOr
Edit: Also OP forgot to mention(or just didn't feel like it was important) that sAviOr and a few others on the list are royal roaders, and have golden badges(3x MSL wins)

I deliberately averted my eyes from the results before voting. My favorite always turned out to be the LAST choice, while my "best of all time" always agrees with the first choice. I'm not shocked.
It's interesting that Jaedong is winning the "favorite zerg" vote (inexplicably...), while Flash is a very distant third in "favorite terran."
