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... | ||

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  | ||

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. | ||

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

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.. | ||
