I hate Light but this list is pretty objective. Hard to come up with anyone more deserving.
Midas is for sure one of the most unfortunate players. Extremely skilled but he happened to coincide with Savior destroying everyone.
Leta never would've been able to make a deep run in an individual league - as evidenced by the fact that he has never done so. He was good at doing a few specific things, such as gimmicky 2port Wraith builds in maps that favored cheesy TvZ, but he would've been picked apart in a series by any competent individual league player of any race.
It's a stretch to say he's just a bit better than Really, but he's certainly no contender.
Do we really even need a Zerg list? A single name on it in big bold letters would suffice and we can go home >_>

this is such bullshit

Leta was an A-class player whose best matchup was actually TvT. He rocked people with 2port Wraith in TvZ because he was the best in the world at it, but he was very good at standard TvZ as well. He made it to the quarterfinals of both the OSL and the MSL. I don't want to debate the semantics of what it means for someone to be a contender, but he was in the same tier as players like Calm or Luxury - i.e. good enough to win a title given slightly favorable circumstances.

To be clear - I'm fine with him not being on this list (he's probably #6). But it tilts me to see people ignorantly trashing my favorite player. You want to rag on Leta's meh-TvP? Fine. You want to say his TvZ wasn't strong enough to compete with Jaedong? Sure. But if you think he was anything less than an A-class Terran then you are wrong.

The five mentioned in OP, plus:
Leta
Hwasin
Baby
Skyhigh
Hiya
firebathero
Chrh
TheMarine
Silent_Control
Canata
Ruby
That's at least 15 players who were more relevant than Really was, plus the long list of Terran OSL/MSL winners, and I'm probably forgetting a bunch too.

I mean, there's a super long list of Terran MSL/OSL winners, plus five people here. When you're already reaching down 15+ slots, can you still be considered A-class lol.
S class is like the Boxer/Nada/oov/Flash etc. fantasy is like an A-class Terran. Are you really telling me Leta is one level below Flash and on par with fantasy?

of course you can. that list covers the entire history of BW.

it's a spectrum. fantasy is A+ and Leta is A

I consider it more like Leta's
TvT - S-Class (can stand toe-to-toe with the top TvTers)
TvP - fucking garbage seriously
TvT - A (give or take)
You gotta also consider that he had a team composed mostly of match-fixers.
just my 2c tho!

Oov/Boxer/Flash = S+
Fantasy = S
Leta = like B.

I haven't kept up with BW since 2012 so I voted protoss forgetting that Jangbi and Stork both won OSLs -_-

this would have been accurate in 2007 when Leta was garbage

How is Really even remotely relevant...? Was there ever a time when he was better than mediocre?
