Sea isn't getting all those votes just because he's deserving, he found a place in teamliquid's heart when he went on teamliquid attack. Do not try to pin it on him being first on the poll, that's insulting to him and the general teamliquid populous.

No GTR you fool, that OSL belonged to Yellow ! But the least deserving SL winner Casy went trough...

On topic, Yellow was the obvious choice of course, i understand why he was left apart, there wouldn't be any debate.

I think that Midas and Iris are on top of my list. Maybe Iris more than Midas because Midas choked a bit more and his peak was during Savior's reign, he came really close to break his dominance but he just fell short.
Iris peak came just at the end of Savior's, he was one of the guy who ousted him actually, beating him in ro8 of Daum 07, then he destroyed Stork and lost to GGplay amazing hive control. I can't think of another guy who played so well, came this close and still never won it. He was like climbing Mt Everest and he fell 10m away from summit.

Jangbi, imo never had it. He got really great at a time, but he was a new Zeus to me, a good protoss, a huge choker.
Best was a PvT wonder, abusing your easy match-up can help you become an undeserving winner just like Casy. thanks to July, it didn't happen!
Kal, Leta, Zero, Light, were never the best players of their respectives races at a time. Kal got a final but every knew he was gonna lose, i mean he was playing JD...

so true, i really want him to win a starleague i think he really deserves it.

He had a good pvp too, it's true, but, given the nature of pvp, his pvt was more stable imo.

JangBi IMO. He was on the cusp of seizing multiple Starleagues. At his prime, all his matchups were top 3. Can't say the same for Sea because he always had Fantasy/Leta/Light/Mind and now Baby to hog the 2nd best Terran spotlight with. Sea was simply solid - the ultimate gatekeeper. I sincerely hope he can still break out of that (maybe if he gets transferred off MBC to a more competitive environment)

yeah he only had an 82% pvp winrate up until the ever osl finals, with a grand total of 5 (yes 5 lol) pvp losses in his career. his pvp was wayyyyyy less volatile than his pvt back then

Hyuk may not have the wins.

He doesn't really have the skills, either.

But he does have...my ♥

Sea's pretty good, though. I kind of missed the Iris boat; too noob

Just look at the winrates. Leta and Sea with both almost 60% are monsters. I feel Leta is better than Sea as in, has accomplished more, so i voted Leta.

Kal is always looking promising, then a wild JD appears and knocks him out, it's almost funny to watch

Kal. Sea while more consistent in PL and in general has always failed hard in individual leagues. You can't fault Kal for getting owned by JD and Flash every time he gets close to the finals.

Sea in terms of having potential to deliver.

I guess I give sympathy for Iris for being so close to huge wins for so many times. Getting reverse sweeped in OSL finals, getting 3-2'd by in form Savior in an awesome serie, getting reverse sweeped by Kwanro in MSL semis, getting beaten by Flash's TvT in GomTV finals.

Most realistic choice would be Kal.
A choice made more on feelings, i would like to see Midas finally get one.

Whatever happened to Jangbi. Back in his days, he played like a boss. Now....

Sea has consistently for some time performed at the skill level of a starleague champion.

Midas definitely deserves something for all the times he has come close to making the final. For a long time he was a player everyone feared. Now he'll slowly be phased out like all the other veterans who lack the prestige so crucial for longevity.. Poor guy he's been playing games for his life since he was 14..

so it seems there is a curse that if you beat kal in the semifinals you always lose in the finals
and the only one to break that was flash .....
