Sea has the 6th most wins of all time, yet has never made it past a Ro8, so it's hard to judge him here. Jang Bi was the third most successful Protoss in the dragon era and his 3 finals have been mentioned many times, but of course he has fallen since then. Kal would be my runner up, simply because he has been the most successful Protoss after Bisu and Stork beyond the dragon era (except when free dominated briefly). His win over Flash in the last OSL was telling. I guess my criteria then is which current player has both done good in the past, and still has a serious shot to win a Starleague. So that's: 1. ZerO 2. Kal Sea made dual Ro8 a couple seasons ago, but something still doesn't seem right with him. I guess he'd be number 3 though. | ||

Also Zero and Kal are fantastic players, though Zero's zvz has single handily kept him from winning :| | ||

Because he fails miserably vs. big players like Stork, Bisu, Flash and Jaedong. ZerO doesn't (even against Jaedong, while ZvZ is his most shit match-up). That's why I wrote he has no potential of winning a Starleague, because for this you need to be able to put down at least one of those players in bo5 or bo3, and I don't see how he does that to anyone of TBLS. X_X On the other hand ZerO fucking pwned Stork, going 5-0 in last matches vs. him, and beating him 3-0 in a series... =__= | ||

He couldn't win a game even if his life depended on it. And he still isn't THAT good in PvZ (Although he did ALMOST beat JD in bo5), although there is no denying he is a great player | ||

Jangbi and best had very short times where they were very good but have fallen so fast and hard that I can't really say they are top prospects. Zero's dominant times are just too short and he has his zvz achilles heel but maybe if he keeps it up for another year or so I may consider him worthy of a spot. Baby has to be a joke that he gets mentioned. In his best times he was considered a guy the top dogs have to watch out but really those were the times when most others were slumping a little and he has played only about half as many games as the guys I mentioned before. Those are my thoughts^^ feel free to agree or disagree  | ||
