Many progamers have had a period of complete dominance, most recently Bisu and Savior before him. I'm curious though if you had to pick one of these eras of domiace who's was the best? Define "best" however you want to interpret.
As a side question, who would you want to come back to dominance? (or maintain in the case of Bisu)
I'm not really qualified to answer my first question as I started watching the pro scene on the tail end of Savior's reign while Nada was still doing well. So I've seen the end of one and the beginning of another. For my second question, I'd like to see Boxer. He's always been my favorite in any match.

too my knowledge only BIsu, Nada, and Savior have consecutive league wins.
Before the OSL curse was broken by nada there was never an OSL reign, the same goes for after too!
Only the MSL can be dominated.

Boxer won 2 consecutive osl, oov won 3 consecutive msl on top of bisu's 2 msl (so far), nada 3 msl, and savior 2 msl (but 5 straight finals appearances.)
edit: sorry forgot to post my candidate, I would have to agree and I was going to put that picture of oov up lol. I'm pretty sure he had the highest winning rates in his period of dominance than any other player, but not 100% on that.

Only the MSL can be dominated. Really? Wow, I was under the impression that players like Oov, Reach, July, etc. all had these time periods where they were Savior-like.

no, not at all, check out the articles section.

oov by far he went 27-0 tvz at the start of his career. a streak this long will never ever happen again
|
reach was never savior like
oov and july's reign were very savior-like i didn't follow progaming before that
i think oov's was even worse than savior's

Giyom by a mile
let's not forget he was the best player on earth and virtually unbeatable for two solid years

oov is one of the scarriest 15 month long streaks you have ever seen. comon a winning percentage of like 78%? even savior never reached that but meh, gaming scene is diff than it was back than. julyzerg also had like a 12 month reigning era but yeah.... how could you forget those people?

Agreed.

meh, im not too well versed in the way back when progaming history. Oov is awesome, but he is not an exception to the OSL curse.
way back when is when anything was possible, and ppl only really dominate MSL after MSL. It seems that the OSL usually is just a tad bit better.
Also werent the maps when oov had that big streak vs z, T >>> Z? I mean damn, if ure playing 815 and cultivation period, zerg is fucked.
edit: I know oov is great and all, but I never knew he actually dominated the MSL.

good one ^^
I guess op could rephrase the question to "modern era" like they do for baseball after the color barrier was broken, or when the mound was lowered.
I for one, am not qualified to give a well informed answer

How many starleagues did Giyom win?

To answer the original question I dont realy want any of the old people making comebacks. However I would like to see Much, Iris or Free dominating

I have only been watchin progaming for a little over half a year so I can't really say. sAviOr's play was very entertaining though during his osl run.
