I voted for (T)Midas. Even tough i wasnt around at the time of his peak, i base it on what i have read about him. I got into korean bw in the fall of 2008 when (P)Stork won against (T)Fantasy and finally became an OSL champion. I Remember Midas had good run back then (he got knocked out by (P)BeSt's stellar pvt in the ro8).

At the time i got the impression that Midas was one of the top players. I wasnt aware that he had slumped more or less since his defeats by (Z)sAviOr almost two years before and that this was a comeback of his. Soon after Midas disappeared again under the radar again. Then i found out how good he once was. That he was Saviour biggest rival back in 2006/2007 and that he was this amazing strategist. A lot of the Modern timings in tvz is contributed by Midas.

Midas has been around for a long time. He became a pro back in 2002. Back then he was in the Greatest Ones team (the team predecessor to CJ) alongside players like , (T)XellOs, (Z)Gorush and (P)fOru. He has been a korean representative at WCG two times, winning the korean selection in 2004 and placing second in the world finals, losing to his teammate Xellos.

It has been a joy to witness his resurgent play this last year. Of all the old schoolers, no one has lasted as long as (T)Baby Bear. Remember this game ?

Honorary mention:

(T)firebathero. His tvp ruined things for him. His tvz and tvt on the other hand, was stuff of legends.

Iris or Jangbi.

Sea has been consistently solid but I've never really thought of him as a player that could win a league.

Well, actually a starleague is an OSL (ongamenet starleague). And MSL is a starcraft league (MBCGame starcraft league). So my answer to the question would be Bisu. ;P

The answer to the question OP had in mind is much harder to give. Leta, Kal, Midas and maybe even Sea all deserved it at some point in time. I voted for Leta because i like him most of all the players in the poll.
Does Flash dream of electric Romeo?

It's gotta be Kal and to a less degree Zero. Sea was never even close to make it to the Round of 8 at any point, during any starleague.

I voted for once of ACE because i'm really biased towards (P)Much and (T)Iris, but deep down I know that (T)Sea has the potential to win one and I thought last year it might have been his oppourtunity but then he had to get rolled easily. ;_;

..What? MSL is MBCGame Starleague. Therefore it doesn't matter whether it's OSL or MSL since both are starleagues.

Iris had an insanely good run couple seasons back when he knocked Bisu out of the OSL. He was alive in OSL Ro4, MSL RO8 and GSL final simultaneously if I recall. And then he fell apart. Iris is also an OSL finalist, lost 2-3 to ggplay.

I voted for Leta. Back in late 2008 - early 2009, Leta put together one of the most monstrous streaks BW has ever seen, both in record and in power. From October '08 until mid-February '09, Leta was incredible. Then he lost a ton of games in a short span of time and never really recovered to that form.

He should've gotten Lost Saga over Luxury, imo.

JangBi was supposedly the "perfect protoss" with the combination play style of Bisu and Stork... but now... = (

Jangbi was indeed the failed Bork Archon.

The sad thing is that he's the only person on that list who ever broke 2300 ELO.
