Jangbi could make an argument but he was never even really considered the best at his race for any extended period of time - he simply was lucky/skilled enough to make a few finals but certainly didn't deserve to win them. He's close, for sure, but having followed the game when either of the preceding two players were in their primes, it was always a shock when they were knocked out of a league by anyone other than, say, Savior. Like, I would love to say zerO, because he's a great player and watching him is an amazing treat, but Zero has never been considered #1 or #2 in the game and certainly never #1 zerg with a bullet. Iris and Midas both went through really long periods of time where they were uncontested #1 at their race, not this #3 Terran bullshit that Sea gets a lot of credit for. Being #3-5 Terran for years is an awesome accomplishment but has nothing to do with winning a SL or deserving a title for being, at best, a top10 or top15 player. So yeah. Iris and Midas both pass the Yellow test; best at their race for a long window, only lost to the very best player/eventually winner at the time, no seriously weak matchups, could give the reigning Bonjwa a run for his money. | ||

These were guys who, for HUGE stretches of time, were considered not just the best at their respective races but top 2 in the game overall. Iris and Midas both were in the "so much better than the rest of the pack" categories during their very extended peaks whereas none of the other players on that list have ever really been so good as to be "way beyond whoever is #3".

I'm a huge fan of Jangbi, but he doesn't really hold a candle to Midas and Iris. I would put my vote in for Iris simply because I watched him at his prime and was unfortunate to never have watch Midas live during his prime. Iris' match-up % against all three races was so good, too. And even later in his career Avalon MSL?, he took it to Bisu. He's reached deep into leagues at different points in his career which makes his resume even better. and if he didn't freaking choke away a 2-0 lead against GGplay... or his lead against Kwanro... Just so disappointing for him | ||

I mean Iris. I was almost certain he had one going into this thread so I had to switch from Sea when I learned otherwise. | ||

Midas is my first choice. JangBi was second. There were times when you think that they were going to win a starleague but unfortunately they never did. | ||

At first I was gonna go for Sea or Zero, but, they've never had a period where they were actually the best and should have won a starleague, and I don't think you should get a starleague vote out of pity. | ||
