Sea is my favorite player. Sure, I'm a little biased. But seriously he's the epitome of consistent - he's the reason why MBC doesn't completely fall flat on their face every time in proleague. He just gets nervous

i think its a close call between kal and zero but clearly we have seen Zero's games are mostly at the legend epic level o.O

Zero, If ZvZ didn't fuck him over every season he'd have at least 1 SL, maybe 2.

(But really Yellow how could u not list him!)

You forgot Pusan

. He's back on the roster.

My vote goes to Free and Light. Personal bias, but I really hope they have a deep SL run one day.

In the last few years, Jangbi and Kal were the two closest players who didn't make it. Hwasin, FBH, free, Sea, Best have all been close.

Sea in no way deserves a title. I think to be worthy of this list you at least need to have some ro4 finishes, if not silvers. Sea is just always 'a good player but no where near the best.'

Of the list, I don't think any of them deserve a title. Sorry, but even if you say 'no Yellow' Yellow is basically the only one who is worthy, since Fantasy and Stork got their golds eventually. I could say Zero or even FBH because I am a big fan of them both, but I know deep down they don't compare to the best players of their time.

I want to vote free because of fanboyism, but I don't want to skew the poll

I would say ZerO and then Sea.

I would have to say Sea or Yellow. Sea is undeniably remarkable in proleague but just can't seem to win a starleague. Yellow... nuff said.

Probably Jangbi or Sea. Jangbi being StorK's partner in crime and Stork reaching so many finals I find it quite odd that Jangbi never reached that far

I thought Sea was an obvious choice at first, he constantly has incredible games and never puts together an impressive starleague run. After reading the thread though Jangbi might be a stronger candidate, hes had periods of being incredible and he puts together good starleague runs only to get stopped short.

also I'm pretty sure Plexa is still convinced Pusan will win osl one day.

Well there's definitely a distinction that needs to be made here because i think people are voting on different criteria: Is it the player who is the best right now to never have won a Starleague? Or active player with the best career (even if they aren't so good atm) to never have won a Starleague?

If you're voting on the first question the answer is probably Leta, with Kal, Zero, Sea, and BaBy being runner ups. However i think the second one is the most interesting to discuss and requires a lot more thought, because imo "best player" most closely means player with the best career.

For that criteria i'd say BeSt, followed by Sea, Kal, Jangbi, and Midas. NC YellOw should definitely be on the poll and deserves recognition here. FBH gets a mention in this category.

Notice Sea is the only player mentioned in both lists, he's a model of consistency and a great player with a great career too. That said, BeSt is the right choice for this poll because of his great career with great Proleague success AND Starleague success (despite not winning one), Sea is second.

The thing about Sea is that he regularly pulls off Starleague-winner-level play (not as much recently), but he chokes when he gets to the actual Ro16 or Ro8 of a Starleague. If he could play as consistently in Starleagues as he does in PL, he would probably have won by now.

As much as I wanted to vote for ZerO, my favorite player, I had to vote for Sea, 2nd favorite

. As much as I enjoy ZerO's play, his ZvZ is a hinderance he can't seem to get rid of

. Sea on the other hand is phenomenal in all of his matchups, Sea just runs into someone ridiculous all the time. And group D was no help this season. He will win one day, and it will be great.

Jangbi. I think he's the only person on that list I've been impressed by in a best of 3 match. I don't think Baby or Sea have ever done well in a Best of Format.
