I really miss Effort and Midas... but solid list!

/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.

If it's about fame, he should be in it, period. He is one of the greatest and, one every single level, one of the key figure in the history of that game. If you don't want Savior, make a "hall of the nice guys" or whatever.

And it's not like Savior won his titles by cheating. Then I would understand, the same way that yeah, if you make a hall of fame of cycling, then, no Armstrong because the way he achieved what he achieved was not legit.

Mind you, Savior hasn't even dropped a single game on purpose. Inside the boot, as a brood war player he has always been 100% legit. His criminal activities as a match fixer are regretable, you can very well hate him for that, but that's just another story. Now, a list of the greatest zerg without Savior looks like a list of the best heavyweight boxers without Mike Tyson. It just makes no sense at all.

Grr and Kingdom are out of place imo...
Don't see why they should get in and Effort not. Though Kingdom's accomplishments as coach must be considered too.
Other than that lovely list.

And also to the people saying Zero and Soulkey: wtf? This isn't a fanboy's list of fame.

If I had to pick a standard terran who never made it to an OSL or MSL final to include in the hall of fame, Midas wouldn't even be my first choice.

Super good TvP and only one to rival Savior slightly, choking hard doesn't help his case though
I don't really see what XellOs did that was so special to get him on that list. I'm not against it though I love XellOs <3

The 'e-sports Hall of Fame' will commemorate the many progamers who acquired many achievements and plant the players' honor and self-esteem along with enchancing their images in a hall that will uplift them.

These people mastered their ESPORT broodwar more than any other person has mastered a competitive game. Think about it what other game had that long of a run with serious competitions. Maybe some shooters like CS or Quake or an RTS like WC3 and perhaps some old school RTS like AOE2, but even with mastering their own games they didn't have the competition pool of BW.

It makes no sense putting someone who had a major hand in killing the sport in its hall of fame... Savior is INfamous and took a massive shit on the integrity and hard work of the gamers who came before and after him. There's no way he deserves to be honoured in anything like this.

... All this sAviOr talk makes me sick... As much of a Ma Jae Yoon fanboy I am, I agree with the others who say that he doesn't deserve to be on this list. Guys cmon, he cheated. He did something bad, and something that probably killed Starcraft Brood War. At least, the cheating scandal did impact the Brood War scene quite a bit.

And for those who say he should be there, I'd love to see him up there as well, but fact is, he doesn't deserve to be up there. Let's say that someone like Tim Duncan, or Kobe Bryant, or any big superstar was caught CHEATING or using STEROIDS or something. Do they deserve to be up on that list for NBA HoF. Hell no. You know the old saying... Cheaters never prosper? Well, there's one thing that they'll never prosper in, getting into the HoF.

So stop bitching about sAviOr not in. Maybe he shouldn't have cheated. Ever thought of that?

He was the one that made CJ Entus basically up from the G.O. days with his personal tournament winnings.

+ the handsomness.

Xellos is the most handsome nerd ever and yes he wiped the floor with NaDa, Bisu, AND BoxeR
