Ya. You can make an argument that some people are missing, but everyone on that list is one of the all time great.
Edit: btw, didn't Grrr... technically win his OSL playing random? That would make him the only player ever to win a major tournement in either BW or WoL playing random (or race picking), no? Liquipedia lists him as playing random, but the OSL 10 year aniversary video listed him under random.

Such a tragedy Savior is not there.
I know what he did was reprehensible and he was never going to get on this but based on gameplay alone, he should be there.

I think he did, actually, although he was known for his Protoss. Need a BW history buff to confirm.

Yeah, Grrr was a race-picker back in the day before switching to Protoss.
The OSL he won was vs HOT Forever, I think it was, he race-picked according to the map played.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong though. It was a long time ago.

It was a neat little ceremony they had, but the setup for the Hall of Fame itself is just as cheap and cheesy as you would expect from KeSPA. The Hall of Fame is just some egregiously blown up stock photos(Grrr's photo looked like a thumbnail that they tried to turn into something 2' tall) with a list of accomplishments underneath. I was hoping they'd hang around after the match to meet with fans, but I don't even know if they stayed to watch. Makes me wonder if they made Grrr fly himself out here for 15 minutes of stuff, lol.
Also got to watch them play HotS before the ceremony with T8. Boxer(who for some reason seems to be making 'T-shirt over dress shirt and tie' into a fashion statement) was making jokes the whole time he played. Bisu and Flash were sitting next to each other(and they spent most of the time talking to each other, even during the ceremony and the Violet memorial stuff). The Dong mostly hung around his team and there was a lot of shoulder rubbing and arms around each other from the older players, with July being particularly bro-like in his suit.

Last time I had heard Grr lives in Korea.

Ah, I knew he was at the OSL final, but I thought he was only in Korea for a short bit. I should've put the two together, lol.

Great list. <3 Bisu, Nal_rA and Mantoss fighting! Its nice to see these players getting some final recognition yet its sad to see this list at the same time. And JangBi for getting that final Protoss victory. Forever written in stone.

Yeah afaik he's a software developer in korea or something similar, but that was from a natgeo documentary that's already a few years old.

Fantastic list, surprising how many Protoss legends there really are. I guess Midas, Sea and EffOrt + Show Spoiler + (CJ fanboy inside me still sticking out) could make cases, but it's understandable if they don't make it (extended break periods, lack of innovation/results especially compared to the current representatives.)
+ Show Spoiler +Fuck sake MJY why did you have to be a huge asshole, would have made the list perfect

my only vote went to grrr... good to see him on the list ^_^
chrh, i think deserving too but too bad

A small part of me wanted Lord dlqudals von emfznekftm to be there. He got so many beatings
