So WCG regionals and GOM are considered minor? I don't think any other competitive game uses these definitions.

Yes. GOM could arguably be considered a major, but isn't because it never quite gained the status and only ran for a few seasons. WCG regionals definitely not, was never really a big deal in Korea, and if I recall also had much smaller series then did OSL/MSL.

When BW was big in Korea OSL/MSL were the big boys, the two nationally televises tournaments run by the major broadcasting corporations.

I guess everything is relative in the end.

Regardless, I partially disagree with GTR's list of top 5 dominating Terrans not to win an OSL or MSL. For me the list would be:

5th: TheMarine (I don't think he was THAT overshadowed during his career, at least, not as severely as Goodfriend was)
4th: Leta (Overrated? Yes. Not in the top 10 Terrans ever? No.)
3rd: Light (we are in agreement with him being 3rd)
2nd: Sea (This is a Terran with 3 solid matchups. If Protoss didn't exist, Light would surely be #2)
1st: Midas (no doubt about this)

To me, Iris was an easy 6th, Goodfriend was a clear 7th, and HiyA was a clear 8th, with V-Gundam/Really being a tossup for 9th and 10th. Man, I remember a time when I wouldn't have picked HiyA over BaBy and sKyHigh. Now I'd pick him easily over even XellOs and Hwasin.

yeah I used to think he was the most stylish player but in retrospect he lost too many games that he shouldn't have

Nice list Especially Light, Iris, and Sea ^^

As an aside, don't use apostrophes for plural. It should be Best Terrans To Never Win, not Best Terran's. because it's not possessive or a contraction <3

Disagree with the lack of Leta, although admittedly I only started watching in 2008, around the time that Leta rose to prominence.

Light ;_; That series he lost to Jaedong in the MSL semifinals was heartbreaking, I still remember him in game 5 as the zerglings were ravaging his base realizing that he had lost.

I think it's Iris. He ran into Savior at his peak and then sideswiped by an upstart GGplay (who I love). And let's not forget getting reverse killed by FREAKING KWANRO

Zerg: Luxury/ogogo (WCG)

even sync?

Yeah I meant the protoss champions. Well if it's only OSL/MSL then luxury, forgg and I guess anytime...

The jujak Terrans were largely overhyped anyway. Hwasin, the strongest of them, is maybe the 20th most dominant Terran in BW history

I'd put Sea above Light (Light's TvP is too big of a handicap, no matter how good his TvZ and TvT was). I'd put Leta as fifth, and remove Goodfriend altogether. While my list would be a bit modern-BW-centric, I think it's only fair to rank those who peaked in a much harsher competitive environment, absent certain exceptions (similar to how you'd rank Boxer as a top terran of all time despite being a "bad" player based on modern standards, simply for how innovative he was).
