1. Jaedong
2. Stork
3. Flash
4. Bisu

Been a fan of JD since 2007. His muta micro is unrivaled and is what got me interested in professional SC. It's insane what he can do with 2 ctrl group of mutas let alone 3 ctrl groups he showed us not too long ago (game against Miracle). Truly the most skilled progamer of all time.
I used to like Flash more than Stork but lately I've been more attracted to Stork's play-style and his personality. He's just a great guy and player period. Also, he's looking pretty solid lately.
Flash, mechanical beast. Though he's had some shaky moments, his play is solid for the most part. Used to love it when he was like invincible in TvP back then.
Bisu, I respect his play and achievements but I dislike him the most out of all the progamers. I tried convincing myself to differ but I just can't like the guy. Maybe it's the way he talks or how he looks. Not sure.. :\

1) Stork
2) Jaedong
3) Bisu
4) Flash

I love Stork. He's really good at SC and a great guy too. I like his playstyle more than Bisu's too (lower on harass, more focused on having a big army)

Jaedong is just amazing to watch. He's definitely the best player right now, he constantly makes my jaw drop with the ridiculous things that he does, like beating Miracle with 3 control groups of mutas.

I like Bisu, mostly because I play Protoss, but not as much as the other two.

Flash's playstyle is just boring don't like him as much as the other three. part of this may be my subconsious hate of terran

I am very surprised to see that Bisu is not more popular. Weird.

This is called faithless bandwagoners hopping off the Bisu train anytime he shows signs of weakness.

I think people don't like bisu because he seems to be very passive and apathetic, non-chalent if you will, about everything. But that's just the way he is. Plus, he's also a good looking guy, so he has stuff going for him.
It's like in highschool where everyone hates on the definitively hottest girl who is squeaky clean and scores 4.0's.

Maybe if SC fans on TeamLiquid were mostly women like they are in SK, Bisu would be more popular.

As it is now though, he's just that perfect prettyboy everyone loves to hate. Good looks and great at what he does. His personality is extremely boring and his interviews are snoozers, though. His whining about map imbalance also gets old.

Bisu loses games to Zerg: "BAWWW ZERG IS IMBA"

Flash loses games to Protoss: "My TvP is severely lacking compared to my other matchups, so I need to practice to get better at it. Also I'm working on developing a new TvP strategy. Hey Bisu, why don't you get PvZ tips from my teammate Violet? I hear he's the true revolutionist these days."
Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet!

I'm horrified that you suggest that (Z)EffOrt has faded into average-ness. And no mention of (T)fantasy? I've heard he's pretty good. May have outperformed three of the four tigers in the last three OSLs.

You can slice and dice anyway you want, but there are not bounded categories of SC greatness anymore. It's a gradient scale, that moves around ever month (hence the PR). Not a good question to begin with.

The taek-bang-lee-ssang has been delivering for the longest time. fantasy's and effort's time hasn't come yet with these four just dominating everyone and everything.


Oh, please.

It's not even close to that cut and dry.

In my opinion there are 3 kings(Bisu-Jaedong-Flash the true S+) and 3 tigers(Effort-Stork-Fantasy the S class capable of crushing and dethroning kings). In terms of statistics, they should be in different categories(high 60% win rates and low-mid 60% win rates) close but no cigar, still love you though Stork. Can't consider Effort a king cause there can be only 1 king per race.

Effort hasn't really proved himself yet. I think that he's good and he will, but mentioning him up there with Bisu-Stork-Jaedong-Flash now is a bit hasty. Same with Fantasy, though he's closer than Effort is with his two OSL silvers and semifinal appearance

I see what you did there. (And true thing that Violet was the first to reuse the DA frequently since he did it in the 08/09 season)

so i posted this earlier but i didnt wanna get flamed or anything lol.

i think that if these four players played a best of 5 series among each other right this second, this is what i would predict (based solely on pure speculation and recent performances of course, and factoring out map imbalances and etc):

Stork > Jaedong (we'll have to see how right or wrong i am after their wcg encounter i guess)
Stork > Flash
Stork < Bisu (hardest to predict, honestly)

Flash > Jaedong
Flash > Bisu
Flash < Stork

Jaedong > Bisu
Jaedong < Stork
Jaedong < Flash

Bisu > Stork
Bisu < Flash
Bisu < Jaedong

through this reasoning, stork could perhaps be considered the strongest right now. i mean, stork is looking extremely sharp in every single match up. Flash seems to have mastered two match ups (TvZ and TvT) up to now. Bisu only has one outstanding match up (PvP, haven't seen too much of his PvT lately) as of right now. jaedong, while surely remains strong in all three, doesn't seem to have any clearly defined best match ups right now (his ZvZ is not the same anymore lets face it, but we haven't seen much of his ZvT recently for example, so its hard to tell with him).

but this poll is not about whos the strongest i suppose, but whos the favorite. in that case though, i do wanna make another argument. i dont believe i speak only for myself when i say that the reason why bisu and stork are at the bottom of the poll is because they share the protoss race, and thus a big chunk of the popularity of the protoss race as a whole is split between them. so, whereas most terran players in TL will naturally favor flash, and most zerg players in TL will naturally favor Jaedong, protoss players in TL may be split between stork and bisu, at least i know i was, and i changed my vote from bisu to stork because stork had the least votes . anyone else feels this way or just me?...
