![]() On topic, Stork>Flash>JD>Bisu. Stork because he has been around the longest and is still kicking ass. Also because of his great personality and in-game tactics. A prime example of that would be (from WCG) + Show Spoiler + SCOUT LOLOLOLOL | ||

Also, this picture of him almost makes me gay for him too. ![]() EDIT: Stork would've been my second choice after that, just because he seems to have a healthier style (having a GF, playing other games as well etc). I can't really pick a third. If I had to, I'd go with JD just because Bisu SEEMS a bit arrogant. Not saying he is, just that he looks like it :D | ||

Flash seems to be a nice guy, and plays really great, and I like the way he fails. Jaedong is just very very good, but that's not enough for me to be a fan =) And I hate Bisu, but hey he's very good. He needs to cut his hair grrr | ||

Bisu Stork Flash Jaedong - Best player in the world and the charisma to go along with it Bisu - Pretty boy toss has a legacy baby. Stork - He's funny and amiable but his play is like a roller coaster. Flash - I dont feel the star "vibe" that i get from Bisu, Jaedong, Boxer, Nada.

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.. :\ | ||

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 ![]() | ||

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." | ||

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 ![]() | ||

Everyone knows JD is the best >.> He's just despicably, perversely good. Too skilled for his own good. I just love Stork, he's such a baller. He doesn't win gold very often, but he's incredibly consistent and he plays the manliest race, so yeah. He's not as manly as the mantoss, but he has his own qualities. Poor Bisu >: He's awesome too but no one likes him. Flash is insanely boring, lol macro and only one build that he uses, because, as he said in some interview, "it wins games". See, this is what's killing the sport right there. Too many progamers these days are less about fun, entertaining games and more about doing the same build over and over and over and over because it wins the most. I know it's because the players are pressured by their coaches/etc, but still. It's awful. | ||

But now it's more like Stork and I always liked Flash, his style is unique. I don't know what's so brilliant about Jaedong though, his recent ZvP is looking rather like Julyzerg copy who I admire more. Storks PvZ micro is absolutely amazing. + Show Spoiler + I bet he'll rape Jaedong in WCG finals!. Edit : Oh and poll is not very accurate imo, because toss fan's must split between two nearly same popular heroes... | ||

Last actual NEW TvZ build i've seen came from Flash so i dunno what you are talking about really. At elast i've never seen anyone else do goliath into mnm unless you want to correct me? Theres only so much creative and innovative builds you can do rather than just stick to perfect solid play.. as we've seen by Fantasy clever build-orders will only get you so far. | ||

Have you actually seen his recent games? His TvZ is hyper aggressive (watch him completely nullify hero's 2 Hatch Muta by moving out with his marines), and I wouldn't call his 5 (!) dropships against Hyun completely standard. In fact, several of the games he has won has been due to unorthodox timings as opposed to standard. | ||

Because fantasy beat Jaedong twice. + Show Spoiler + A player doesn't need to win a starleague a year ago to be considered one of the game's best players at the moment. Both fantasy and EffOrt deserve to be included in this discussion, easily. Calm and ZerO probably as well. If- no, when either of these four defeat one of the previous four, it's not an upset. Moreover, to say that B/S/J/F have been dominating since the downfall of sAviOr is just plain inaccurate. Just this last spring and summer, Flash and Stork weren't looking so hot. Again, you can't make this cut and dry, it just isn't. | ||

Which just isn't true. effort and fantasy hasn't won a single starleague, in fact both of them combined accomplished as much as jangbi has, 2 silvers. jaedong also dominated effort in the ace match, the one that got hwaseung into pl finals. skt won pl mainly because of bisu, although it was fantasy who won it for skt, bisu was the one who lead skt through the regular season to their great finish. And bisu/stork/jaedong/flash been dominating since the downfall of savior and it with flash and stork on the rise again, it looks like its going to remain that way. at least two of the four are always on top of any other players, including fantasy and effort. fantasy and effort arn't fading away like the opening, and maybe fantasy and effort's time will come later, but not now. not now my friend. Seriously? How did CJ get to face Hwaseung in the PL Playoffs? EffOrt rolled Stork. + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7lr0i1t2BI Why did SKT1 win the championship? Because fantasy beat Jaedong twice. + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73M-xN8vI84 A player doesn't need to win a starleague a year ago to be considered one of the game's best players at the moment. Both fantasy and EffOrt deserve to be included in this discussion, easily. Calm and ZerO probably as well. If- no, when either of these four defeat one of the previous four, it's not an upset. Moreover, to say that B/S/J/F have been dominating since the downfall of sAviOr is just plain inaccurate. Just this last spring and summer, Flash and Stork weren't looking so hot. Again, you can't make this cut and dry, it just isn't. You should read the Jaedong/Bisu/Stork interview first to know what this thread is about. And it definitely isn't about the best players today. It's about LEGENDARY players, who are still dominating the sport. Bisu, Stork, Flash, and Jaedong all count. Effort and Fantasy? Not even close. Btw, the four tigers? That's a really lame translation. Even if you don't like the term "heavenly kings", at least give it some ethereal feel to the name to do it justice. I mean, tigers aren't even on par with humans on the food chain. While gods in heaven can strike down mere mortals like nothing. ![]() | ||

It's "who is your favorite" not "who's the best" Flash is insanely boring, lol macro and only one build that he uses, because, as he said in some interview, "it wins games". See, this is what's killing the sport right there. Too many progamers these days are less about fun, entertaining games and more about doing the same build over and over and over and over because it wins the most. I know it's because the players are pressured by their coaches/etc, but still. It's awful. I really question whether people who say this ever actually watch Starcraft. | ||

He doesn't win gold very often, but he's incredibly consistent and he plays the manliest race, so yeah. He's not as manly as the mantoss, but he has his own qualities. Poor Bisu >: He's awesome too but no one likes him. Flash is insanely boring, lol macro and only one build that he uses, because, as he said in some interview, "it wins games".

We just think he's slightly LESS awesome ![]() | ||

Umm, define boring. Flash's TvZ is standard. His builds, timings are all standard. But the reason he is so good, is because he does the standard stuff so damn well. So if you are looking for something new/creative or cheese/unexpected, Flash is boring. If you are looking for someone to demonstrate standard Terran play(standard means generally accepted as the best approach) at its peak of perfection, Flash is your man. So I guess someone like Bisu is good for people who are new to the game and don't understand the finer points like macro and positioning cause he is fun to watch when he cheeses. I guess with Flash, its easy for someone who somewhat understands the game to greatly appreciate his skillz, but he is a lot less exciting to watch than an aggressive play. LOL? FlaSh is uncreative?! FlaSh comes up with new build orders more consistently than any other progamer in this age. Goli's into M&M + 4Rax Thats 2 TvZ builds in less than 6 months FlaSh invented the dual armory TvP and is working on a new TvP build. The only person who thinks of builds at the same rate is iloveOOv... Uncreative? Nukes and mass dropships? FlaSh is hardly boring. Not to mention FlaSh is perfectly capable of nearly all build orders and strategies.. he can cheese to the point where he's the Cheddar Terran and Macro to the point where he's the Ultimate Weapon.. Go read up on your shit.. | ||
