Also lots of people are missing, especially old schoolers. Giyom, Maynard, St.Eagle, TheMarine, ChRh, Byun, IntoTheRain, JinNam, etc. | ||

My parents who dont even know what starcraft is knows Lim Yo Hwan. The name boxer carries is in my opinion, bigger than at least half the names of the celebrities recognized in Korea | ||

imo. Neither Flash, Jaedong or July has been huge influences like Boxer has been. But Flash and Jaedong are a trillion times more skilled than July ever was. July is a prime 4-star candidate. Perhaps nal_ra too? | ||

I dunno, but getting a move assigned to your name that is now considered standard is kind of an achievement. It´s about influence they had, right? So imho Maynard and maybe Grrrr deserve mention at the very least. They are not boxer, for sure, but Boxer didn´t invent all moves in the game. He invented quite a lot, like mech vs protoss if I remember right. The inventor of Muta stacking(people here say it was shark, I don´t know) should get on the list too. Being good at the game is half mechanical and half mindgame but being respected for skill doesn´t mean you influenced anything. [edit] Just remembered you want the list to be about korean progaming only, more or less. Then you definitely need grrrr in there, he is the only foreigner who won an OSL in korea and he still lives there. Also Boxer should be definitely solo at the very top. He is the Emperor for a reason. He is the first progamer I heard about. From his wikipedia entry: Dubbed The Emperor by his fans, he is the most popular Starcraft player with a fan club of more than 1,000,000 members and a DVD compilation of his greatest games released in South Korea. Please put the Emperor on a Throne on the list. 1 Star higher than everyone else. [/edit] | ||

Kal is kind of a joke though, he has no real place on this list that I can think of. Effort is also a pretty major stretch at 3. | ||

But then again its all just opinion and savior was a match fixer =o. Well depending on what you mean by "influential", being convicted of match fixing and being given the title of bonjwa are both pretty influential. | ||

He introduced taunting and celebrations and ofc brought the BM in game too. He gave life to the very well known "serious" SC:BW scene. | ||
