No Savior  Nal-ra. Kingdom, Reach <3<3<3

For those saying noone would remember Grrrr... if he wasn't a foreigner - he was the best in the world at one point and revolutionised the way the game was played at the time. I would have liked to see TheMarine make the list, over Kingdom I guess but I wouldn't argue with anyone who disagreed. It's a great representation of the giants of the game.

Solid line up, definitely a lot of awesome names!

Grrr vs Zerglee (i think) where he uses maelstrom on ultra/ling to come back into the game blew my mind when i was a kid, doesnt matter that he's a non-korean. Everybody who witnessed that game have to agree that he deserves the hall of fame. Not to mention that he was #1 in the world for a while
edit: but yes i agree Midas should be in

Well he did win an OSL, and did some innovative stuff. Being a foreigner definitely helps, but I think he deserves a spot.
Savior was a great player. I don't disagree with that, and am not going to take any of those wins away from him. But he doesn't deserve a spot here. Someone who hurt the integrity of a sport doesn't deserve the same kind of fame this HoF offers. Sure, he'll be in top5 for best BW players ever, but not a HoF. He's one of the reasons that put a premature end to Korean televised BW.

That the hall of fame exists is in itself a tribute to Savior. For without him, we'd still have Proleague and an OSL...
Is that not recognition enough for you, fans of his?

excellent list tbh, only person thats missing is themarine

Kingdom was a god amongst men back in the early 2000s

He's one of the reasons that put a premature end to Korean televised BW. He not only won an OSL, he won the very first OSL. At least it seems to be the tournament that OGN reguards as the first OSL. Plus he did quite a bit of stuff in the pre-StarLeague days. He was definitively one of the best players of his era.
Agreed on SaviOr, he's part of the reason pro BW died so he frankly has no place being honoured in a hall of fame.
Edit: also, Midas has never even made the finals of an individual league. Hard to argue for him over Grrrr...

Yeah winning the first OSL ever is definitely not a big deal.

Also worth to note, that Korea was pretty serious about starcraft since release, so a foreigner coming up and wrecking shit for half a year was a big deal. You gotta give props where its due.
