Zero. This guy can pull off really brilliant shit.

-Played awesomely vs Flash the last time they met
-Stomped Stork 3-0 out of MSL and is on a 5 game winstreak vs him - as far as I can tell Stork is Zero's bitch
-Bisu's most recent PvZ loss was to this guy, and it was very well executed

If only he can fix his ZvZ...oh and be more consistent but this guy can destroy anyone on a good day.

zero always falls after reaching Round of 8 or semifinals, I bet he has the most number of 4th place finishes ever

Hwasin. Was awesome back in the day, but never managed to get much further than RO16 I think, despite always qualifiying.
The 4/6 dragons that aren't Bisu/Stork; all of them have been very close but have usually been denied some way or the other. (worst being BeSt getting kicked out of OSL 08 from horrible spawn on Fantasy II vs Stork.)

Sea have been very good for a long time, but I don't think anyone has considered him a contender for years since he automatically chokes in anything that's not PL. Iris is probably the terran that's been most deserving not to have won a SL. Lots of different zergs have been winning SL's, don't know anyone that should have won one except YellOw. Maybe the other YellOw.
1000 at least.

personally i don't think sea is the player. he simply never had the 'it' factor to make it to the finals. someone like light however, i think, has the it factor.

When I saw the thread title, Yellow immediately came into mind.

If it's a current player...hmmm, even if I'm a T1 fanboy, I wouldn't say that BeSt deserves to win a StarLeague since his PvZ is still terrible.

I'd say at least one of the dragons (Kal, Jangi or Free). Talking about players that might not deserve it..

Yes, Light's problem is not the "it" factor but rather the "vP" factor.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

In all fairness, looks like his switch to Stars is really improving that aspect.

I don't know about that.... Light has the tendency to screw up royally when it counts.Every series against Jaedong he seems to have one game where he does something monumentally stupid, and Jaedong punishes him for it. Light has his moments, but they're balanced out by his fails.

Doesn't matter if you think you're cool for not putting Yellow, but he's #1. Not by a long shot, it's a close race, but just because the OP ignores him doesn't count him out.
Hey! How you doin'?

I agree with this. As much as I'd love for Sea to make it, he's never had that special champion spark.

Of the choices on there, Zero, easily.

With so many scrub Zs having already won, I find it hardly believable that Zero hasn't eeked one out yet.
keep it up, youll either be famous or homeless one day

Some people are picking Light but I really would say that Light has never deserved to win a starleague. Yes, he does have amazing TvZ and very good TvT skills, but he never had (and still doesn't have) the TvP skill to deserve winning a starleague.

I would probably say Iris. The guy took Savior (when he was at the top of his game) to a 5th set in a 2007 OSL and also has a starleague silver. Dude's a beast.

Yellow, for obvious reasons.

Best probably comes second, he was a beast in '08, going 65-28 (69.89% win) including a silver at the 2008 EVER OSL. He basically carried SK Telecom in PL during that time.

Jangbi was pretty strong '08-'09, going 124-78 (61.39% win) with 2 MSL silvers and a GomTV silver too.

Midas was at one point supposed to continue the Boxer-Oov lineage, but that never panned out

You know, I think I agree that Iris came close, too.
