I decided to remove it because it seemed to me that there are rather two different groups than three (unless you want to give certain players 6 stars). I just used 5 and 3 because that's what it was before and I didn't want to confuse anyone. Right now, it seems that the five-star group is quite accurate (only that most of you don't think July belongs in there and some think that Stork should be added). What I find more confusing is the next level of influential players. It seems that Stork, Reach, Fantasy, Garimto and Kingdom clearly belong in there. And from that point on, I'm rather confused. // Also I seem to have overlooked Seo Gyung Jong aka. Shark. I guess the second group comes down to Stork, Reach, Fantasy, Garimto, Kingdom, GoRush, EffOrt, XellOs, fOru, Shark. | ||

 Kal. Raise Stork to 5--member of Taekbang-Leessang and second best Protoss of all time. fOru is questionable, Midas slightly less so. Add Grrrr..., the original "greatest" player and best foreigner of all time to 3.On second thought, remove fOru and add TheMarine and  H.O.T-Forever to 3, two early greats that rivaled Grrrr... in 2000. Newer people often neglect the early era.Finally, replace Midas with ChoJJa, he was #1 Kespa for 4 months and beat sAviOr in an MSL finals during his reign. | ||

The only thing that he is good at is using the builds to the maximum potential with his mechanics and great multitasking. Stork was and still is more influental as a Protoss than Bisu could ever be. | ||

And now there is two lists all of a sudden O.o5 stars Boxer: he turned the weakest race at the time to the strongest with his creative strategies. Have also done tremedously for ESPORTS (Starcraft) in general. Yellow: Don't know much about him, but he must have done something good since he is the second half of Lim-Jin rok Nada: Perfected SK terran, made the tornado terran, showed everyone the power of strong mechanics. iloveoov: started the macro revolution. He made Yellow get another silver medal and made Boxer cry. Probably the monst influential progamer since all three races were affected by him. And he still contributes to the Starcraft scene with his coaching. Reach: Manliness. And for some time he was the only protoss to stand up against the other races. And won an OSL while doing it. The first one to outmacro oov. Savior: Basically set how ZvT is played to this day. Don't know much about him since I didn't like him much Someone else better fill out!4 stars Fantasy: Revived TvZ mech, Valkonic build, fake mech and the fantasy build in tvp. Sure oov had a finger in all of this (which also put oov at 5 stars) but fantasy still popularized them. I belive he also was the first one to use the bio -> mech switch in tvz late game. Bisu: Revolutionized PvZ. Probably don't need to say much more about him Jaedong: Made PvZ a nightmare again with his 3 hatch spire 5 hatch hydra. Helped bring back 2 hatch muta in ZvT. He probably changed something in zvz as well, can't remember. Flash: The flash build in TvP (don't know what else to call it  ), is constantly setting new trends in both tvp and tvz.Xellos: if I remember correctly he introduced the mass dropship play in TvT, making his army very mobile compared to others. Still used by terrans today. 3 stars Midas: as someone said, inventor of the fake double. Also set some trends in TvZ (if close, bunkerrush. If far, 14cc). I'm sure there was some more but I can't remember. Shark: for mutastacking.. July: ..for "perfecting" it. First player to win a bo5 vs Oov (and he was a zerg too!). Sauron zerg Soulkey: The inventor of SK terran (it got his name after him). Don't know if he was an actual progamer or if he did anyting else, that's the reason why he's here. nal_ra: Same here, don't know if he did anything besides being awesome. firebathero: ceremonies Can't really think of anyone else. Someone correct me if the information is false and feel free to teach me some Starcraft lore  | ||

Reach is not quite at the bonjwa level of influence, but he deserves far more than 3 stars. Reach peaked at a time when literally every single other Protoss were trash. For the stretch of about a year, Reach was the only Protoss who managed to get anywhere (or even qualify for that matter) in the individual leagues. He carried the entire race on his shoulder, alone. Hence, the Hero Protoss. | ||
