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?


how did he cheat?

/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 have to echo this poster's thoughts.

Sad to see people who can't distinguish between the player and the person. ;_; Then again maybe I'm the odd one out here since the only thing that matters to me is skill :s

sAviOr did not cheat... he lost matches for money after hitting his peak. (iloveoov said in one of his interviews it could be due to the fact that sAviOr had gotten really bored in that period of time) Every single one of his wins was legitimate, because he was that motherfucking good, which is why he deserves to be here more than half of the people on the list. ~_~

I'm guessing SaviOr didn't make it because he's a dick? Still, if the poll is for hall of famers controversy has to be put aside. He really should be in here.

I think you and others would reconsider this position if you talked to every player enshrined and every person who has worked years and years to bring BW and e-sports to the level it is at right now.

exactly my thoughts. you have to think about the work that the players made, people like boxer and yellow, nada, iloveoov, the players that got bw to where it is today. savior basically killed like 3/4 of that earn in one situation. sponsors pulling out can also be contributed to the scandal which in-turn makes the impact even bigger. the only real things that helped the fall of bw was kpop (RIP MSL ) and sc2.

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.

I don't see who would deserve it more than Midas or Iris...

Even suggesting that savior should be placed alongside these players is an insult to every single one of them. This is the Hall of FAME, not the Hall of "this guy won some starcraft games." To suggest that savior deserves this achievement is just dumb.

Happy to see Kingdom being voted in. In my opinion he deserves it, OSL gold, MSL silver, crucial to T1's early Proleague success with a bunch of important wins in finals.
The fact that he also made top4 in Hanbitsoft OSL and top4 in Pringles-1 MSL, 5 years in-between, is hella impressive.

Agree. Character matters. What if one of those players had committed a grave felony after their playing days such as rape or murder? You wouldn't want him in the hall of fame.

Other hall of fames routinely deny or rescind induction for character reasons and this hall of fame is no exception.

Dono why people hate on Giyom. He was the best player for like a year, and he deserves to be there IMO. He helped pave the way for others.
Also, sAviOr definitely doesn't deserve to be there because it's largely him and the betting scandal which ended BW in Korea.
