Day9: There is no need for explanation
Husky/HD: Called in one, because they made Starcraft unbelievable popular over Youtube, that has nothing to do with quality or shit.
TLO: Just because he was the first one getting a real fanbase, because of the play and his personality.

I'm not so thinking you can already name players, because the game is too young, even if Fruitsellar made a big impact on the scene when he won GSL

Starcraft 1 was Grrr, Boxer, Nada imo.

Starcraft 2 is Cool, TLO, and Boxer currently.

I believe Boxer will be extremely influential for SC2, but what has he done so far? He officially announced his switch a few days ago and we've only seen very random ladder games from him. I agree with you on everything else though and I would replace Boxer with White-Ra. Why White-Ra? Anyone playing toss during beta would know.

Boxer brings in the Korean interest in SC2.

i assume this is about starcraft 2 since this is in SC2 General :

day9 - practically everyone improves by listening to him and practicing what he preach

husky - many people might not like him but i do think he is the one who brings all the casual. One big difference between sc2 and other games is that i have a couple of friends who does not play the game at all ( nor bw or wc3) but they actually listen and enjoy to watch husky's cast.

TL admins/senior figures : i think TL basically is the center of all Starcraft 2 (and BW) activities outside Korea ( and even it has its reaches inside Korea) . They can command anything and a bunch of SC fanatics ( us) will follow.

if the last one does not qualify because it is not an individual then i'll have to say Dustin Bowder

the Starcraft community as a whole

Well if you exclude game designers then:
1) Lim Yo Hwan .... without him Starcraft isn't what it is today
2) Nazgul (and the rest of the people behind TeamLiquid)
3) Founders of KeSPa

BW: Flash, Jaedong
reason: Snatching up all the fanboys for the past two years, aswell as being the main inspirations for (formerly) up and coming BW players.

SC2: Day[9], HDhusky
reason: Contributing towards making SC2 big internationally. I don't think any (new) players have been influential or inspiring for long enough to make a big difference outside specific communities (like TL).

Both: Boxer
reason: A testiment to skill, and a huge influence for years, using his fame exclusively to make e-sports in general bigger.

Day[9] - For all the awesomeness he does

Fruitseller - For showing you can win if you do everything(and do it well)

Ppl for remembering BW tactics that they seemed to have all forgotten until they see it (unsurprisingly) working well in SC2 in some late stage of a tournament.

Boxer oov Nada

Boxer for creativity and exposure into the mainstream
oov for his macro, without him the game would be different
Nada for micro, and WINNING, same as above.

I can't help but look at it from two perspectives. Looking at appealing to not just Starcrafters, but people outside of the community I'd say Day[9], Husky and HD. However, within TL Day[9] (for his dailies). TLO (for his crazy awesome play) and Idra (for his badassness) take the most influential positions. As a SC2 gamer Boxer has yet to make his - highly anticipated - impact, but once he does he'll be back on this list.

Flash, Jaedong, Day9 (The first two because of what they are for sc1 and day9 because he influence a lot of the foreign community)

Terrible terrible OP by the way.

It'd be interesting if they actually were a part of our community.
