savior did so much and ruined everything, bisu gave a bit of hope for toss and changed state of the game. and yes, if we look what all of them did, jaedong is 2nd best. but, when you think about it, jaedong and flash came when game was polished and just did what is known much faster and better. they didn't changed anything or brought anything new as so many before them did. right? | ||

I'm not sure who I would vote for as the definitive second best player of all time. I would want to vote for Effort, but it probably isn't him, but he has given probably the best games out of any pro player over a very long time. But arguably several other have done more. Now as for your comment on JD/Flash. While they didn't invent the builds and strategies, NOBODY did what they did with the same exact builds. They expanded on them, improved them, molded them into the new builds using the old base strategy. They also made 2/3 base pushes that have never been seen before. I wouldn't even pretend now that the upcoming new class of BW solely uses what flash/JD/Bisu invented, they all have their own styles, but the meta normal builds still belong to those two even if they existed before their rise to stardom. | ||

That leaves us with either Jaedong or Bisu really. Then it has to be Bisu since Jaedong has declined into somewhat a mid-tier Zerg even before his military service. Bisu not even being in the poll makes me think that the pollmaker hasn't followed the BW scene since 2017. yeah, in terms of skill it has to be bisu. he was a top player BEFORE flash/jaedong, and to this day is still a ro4 contender... and this is coming from a zerg player that idolized jaedong | ||

I don't really like Flash and his playstyle but it's honestly undeniable he is the only player who dominated for an extended period of time in both Kespa and post-Kespa era. Before he quit ASL, ASL became quite boring for me because he was so strong every other contender needed a miracle to take him down. | ||

Unless we do a (which I frequently do) ‘it’s too hard to compare across eras’ fudge, I don’t really see how there’s any other candidate for #1 than Flash. Number two gets trickier as a result I guess. How do you weigh being a more dominant player before Flash ascended vs being a bit less so but going toe to toe with prime Flash? | ||
