nobody is going to mention Draco? he was thought to be a foreigner prodigy, i guess thats getting to group stages?
the whole tl community was behind him until rekrul ragged on him and he gave up and went over to china
btw while pusan and stork have had troubles in individual leagues, both are gods of proleague
pusan just needs a nice island map like 815 to nock some more sense into him no one gave Draco a snowball's chance in hell of winning an OSL or anything remotely comparable, come on now it was even debatable that he was the best foreigner when he went over there
i was reffering to getting some lucky few games in a row and making it to GROUPS, not winning anything, but making it to GROUPS

well, pro sc gaming has a lot of ups and downs for all players. to be called a failure, you pretty much gotta to never make it to a league or something.

Canata, Terato, Junwi.
Junwi disappoints me the most. He showed so much promise and was so close to winning an OSL and then just dropped off the map.

Even Bobby Fischer lost matches on occasion when he was younger and played professionals.
But he also took home some titles.

made it into 2 or 3 consecutive starleagues by whipping ass inthe qualifying tournaments but went like 0-3 twice or 3 times

Any one remember ShinyA and Heaveon[3D.O.M] or something similar! [KoR]The_Red_Rock too!
All those 3 players were amazing online, but when it came to offline, they sucked.
At one time, ShinyA had the best PVT, he was a monster.

for a while there was a lot of replays coming out for him in JoPD- and Barbara but then he disappeared (he's By.Crystal now I think?)

Seems strange noone mentioned Jaedong. That kid had an immense proleague rating last season, was one of the three invited Zergs for the RaceWar SuperFight and was claimed by many to be the Savior #2. Still waiting, though.
And I strongly disagree about Sea being a failed prodigy. Sea is solid as a rock, being very consistent, but just not the top player at the moment. Just give him time, it seems he must go the longer road.

Meh I don't know if Crystal ever really showed much promise.
He was like Sinji_NT, Jinsu and Mumyung. Always making Starleagues but proving themselves to just be making up the numbers.

I would like to point out that none of the players mentioned compare to Flash when it comes to starting statistics. Flash is definitely living up to whatever hype he received. He is unbeaten by protoss so far Thats wtf good tvp for such a young player in such big games as a rookie. Can you imagine the storyline of him going all the way to the finals unbeaten vs protoss, against a protoss? It would be great.

Flash/Reach OSL finals would be badass
it would be like EVER 2004 finals. except not a mirror.
soooo badass.

Nobody mentioning Yellow? He always seemed to be the strongest player around, yet there was always one player left to knock him out in the end. Eternal second.
|
Yellow was one of the smartest players to play the game but he never won anything big outside of special events.
ChoJJa could've been here if he didn't randomly win a MSL after he was practically forgotten.
Boxer said Oov was the next big thing, and he delivered. Oov said Canata was the next big thing, but Canata failed.
Sea appeared out of nowhere and started his career in a manner similar to Flash and Nada. Hasn't done anything since.
Whatever happened to the guys Boxer chose for his team, other than Oov?
Terato was rookie of the year at some point, but hasn't done anything after that.
kOs was hyped for a year or two by both Boxer and Nada, and then even by mensrea and the SK T1 coach on Xenosky and never did anything.
Of course, some of these are not set in stone, as they've not been around long enough to have really failed. Savior had one brilliant moment in 2004, but then spent a long time being just another stepping stone for Nada.

Terato was suppose to be really good, thats all I know...
