Regarding the recent posting on Greatest BW Players ever, where does Zileas rank? He was an earlier generation, but a champion nonetheless.

I'd put him in top 10 old school, along with Agent911, Kain, etc...

People like Maynard, Grrr..., and Soso were better. Back then air maps were a lot more popular than they are now-a-days which was a big reason for his success.

zileas was awesome, but you have to remember that reavers owned so bad back then. There was no cooldown on drops, so he just dropped and popped. Pretty unstoppable.

I think he started the whole reaver-popping thing. I first read about popping in a report in his games.

Agent911 DOES NOT diserve to be in that list because Agent got known by abusing imbalnces(Hydra rush ZvP, bunker rush in every matchup, reavers) and countless other imbalances=[

Blizzard had to add cool time because of Zileas' "shooting shuttle". I recall he was more of a strategist (like Garimto) than a player.

Zileas would sure suck nowadays
I bet a C4 WGTour user could rape him easily

but back then, hey, he got blizzard to patch something for him =]

he is generally considered to have been lesser than grrrr..., but at least equal or greater then the other champions of his era (honest, everlast, soso, etc).

he is certainly better then those who never won a major championship (pillars, kain, incinerate, etc.)

zileas changed broodwar more than anyone else not considerably better than him, imo.

he was also a huge reason why people started making constant peons, and also why people realized killing peons was really effective.

Pillars has won Battletop, WCGC USA, and went to korea for pro gaming for about 3-4 months.

Hard to say with Zileas because he only won the beta championship, and I don't think there were really any other good players in that tourney. I don't recall seeing Grrr, or everlast, or Soso in that competition. Larry The Weird was I think, who was a korean pro, but that was really before the game took off in Korea. Remember that Zileas faced Agent911 in the finals, and what has Agent911 ever done beside that?
Whenever you think you know something, remember this: No one even really knows if the sun will rise tomorrow. Knowledge is just a degree of belief.

Larry the weird was Ssamjang, which was considered "the" pro back then. Z man pretty much left sc after beta, and Agent is the always "i cant win" because he placed secound in another major tour (i dont remeber what, tho).
Im sure grrr was in it (if he was a beta), seing how he was in top listings since season one or two, yet again my head is slow, and blizz removed their info.

Besicly ladder tourneys was like ogn today, so winning one was haard.
