I am so happy at the turnout of MBC fans to support our eternal underdog.

This is a really tough question because all the players you listed are either just above average or very mediocre (pro league aside).

I think it's a coinflip between Iris (because he came so close to beating Savior), BeSt, Midas and ZerO.

Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Sea, MBC fan. But, I wouldn't consider him. It's taken him ages just to make it to the round of 8 alone. -_-

It was fantasy but the previous Starleague changed it. As of right now, I would probably say Kal.

Sea is <3, and will get most votes, but Kal gets mine.

IMO if Baby was picked up by SKT, he would've won at least one title by now with Oov's monstrous coaching.. Baby would be today's Fantasy with far better mechanics, and probably far less WTF-fails

Jangbi would be my second pick though, he was a total beast when he was on.. however ever since that loss to Luxury he's never been able to recapture his spirit :l

Hm...depends on how you define "best". Zero at his best is better than everyone on this list, but Zero at his worst can lose to B-teamers.
Zero fighting.

Sea by far. Kal and Light close 2nds

They are all veterans of BW, you'd think by now they'd at least get a final's appearance they deserve, but no :<

That was a Ro8, now way kal could've beaten flash, much less Jaedong in Bo5s.

I know Sea is really popular on TL but putting him first on this poll really seems weird to me. All of the players lack real star quality to take the title imo. I don't think any of them have ever been in the favorite to ever win a Starleague they have been playing in, except for Iris & JangBi?

edit: voted ace / iris btw
It has a strong technique, but it lacks oo.

Voted for Zero. Too bad his zvz is subpar but his zvp and zvt are 2nd best in the buisness.

I think Mortality's post summed it up pretty well. Although I think Iris is probably #2 over Midas. Iris around his peak was realllly good, and all that stopped him was only the most amazingly comeback by GGplay which consisted of Silver's Monty Hall strategy, and only some of the most ridiculously clutch defense I've ever seen.

Jangbi, Kong line, silver miner, has three silver medals, ELO peak over 2300. If Yellow deserves a gold, then so does Jangbi.

Midas, best Terran of his time, a true SKT terran, overshadowed and eliminated from the leagues by Savior. Without a doubt, Midas at his peak was a gold medal contender.

Leta, debuted as PL bonjwa, went almost 80% win rate in ace matches across 20 ace matches. He looked as hot as Effort did. Unfortunately, he never achieved anything in SL. Luxury cockblocked both Leta and Jangbi during his MSL run.

Out of the ones on the poll, those three were definitely gold contenders during their peaks. BeSt's peak was a bit too short. Sea was consistent, but never looked like a gold medal contestant. All the other ones including even Kal were never the best of their respective eras.


My thoughts exactly. Voted Midas though.

Tough one. Sea's been at it for so long you'd think he'd have at least one by now. Kal had such monster creativity a couple years ago though, it seemed like he of all players would have earned a title by now instead of Clam, fOrGG, and others. Luck of the draw and uneven play really set him back. While Sea is great, Kal seemed like the kind of player that could come up with the goods for a best-of series and bring home the gold.
