You can be sad without being surprised. Based on in-game merit there's no denying he should be there. His exclusion is understandable, but seeing a list like this after the end of Korean professional Brood War and lamenting the exclusion of one of its greats only makes sense, even if the reasoning for that exclusion is understood. Savior was one of the best to ever play the game, even if Ma Jae Yoon was an idiot/douchebag/whatever insult you want to throw at him. | ||

/list. Ok, Savior is a bad guy, he cheated, whatever you want, but he has been the most dominant zerg, one of the five or so best players ever, the first to be called bonjwa and the initiator of zerg modern thinking. And definitly the most influential player on zerg's general theory, strategy, build orders and tactics. But oh, let's pretend he didn't exist because huuu herm, he cheated, you know... I guess it doesn't matter that compared to him, three quarters of those players have achieved almost nothing... | ||

I just want to remind every Savior supporter that this is eSports Hall of Fame, not Best Players Ever and not Most Dominant Players Ever and not Most SL Titles list. Cheating is against sportsmanship, just as much as doping, and therefore he has no place in a hall of fame dedicated to the SPORT HE CHEATED IN. People who get caught doping get their medals taken away. Savior lost everything when he cheated. That is ALL. There really can be no debate about this. | ||

We should try to stay away from that topic though, it's guaranteed to go downhill really fast. XD | ||

Overall I would have liked it if they inducted a select few every year like professional sports instead of all at once. Maybe they'll have tiered entry? Like year 1 = 20 graduates, 1st class. Year 2 = 10/20/30 graduates, 2nd class. Etc. As far as the race thing, it makes sense exactly for the reason you mentioned - due to the fact that no dominating force came about, the dominance in what is effectively 1/3rd of the game was spread over more people, for a variety of reasons and over the same period of time as fewer people in other races. | ||
