LOL the most annoying thing for me is that people here dont understand that TIMEFRAMES are very important.. YOU CANT COMPARE BOXER TO JAEDONG... its simply YOU CANT, is comparing people that played and learning 2 diferent games... YOU SIMPLY DONT KNOW how the game was before Boxer (not just him... all the older gamers like him, yellow, nal_ra,etc...). Those People learn a game when builds orden doesn't even exist... it was all instinct.

Honestly I think that if you go back in time and bring the little Boxer (14 yrs old) and you show him and teach him starcraft the same way that Jaedong, Flash and Bisu learned HE WILL BE A FUCKING BEAST TEARING APART ALL THE SKILLES NOOBS.

=P

sry for my english and the mayus but i just cant be chill when people compare the skills of olders players vs new players its just stupid.


Minus the middle paragraph, you're absolutely right.
These eras can't be compared because the past is what we interpret it as.
Pointless thread is pointless.

This doesn't work since there's no right answer. But I'll be glad to know that Jaedong has the biggest fanbase on TL! Can Bisu fans overtake us?!


We are realist and vote on Boxer

Boxer votes + Bisu votes -impartial boxer votes=?! Hmm, it's close.

Jaedong did popularize 2 hatch muta and 3 hatch spire into 5 hatch hydra. So I wouldn't say he didn't make an impact.


Typical JD fanboi upset that not everyone in the world likes watching a ball of mutas win every game.

I remember you, you're the guy that said why do jaedong fanbois make 30 thread whenever he loses, in response to the strategical question about the viability of movie's dragoon timing build. Please stop trolling and lay off the hate.



And youre that guy that gets very upset when JD loses and tries to blame it on something irrational other than JD being outplayed, because we all know thats not possible.

Heres the evidence: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=95768

Why the hell is (Z)Jaedong ranked so high. The answer is so fricking fickle.


In terms of who's done the most for the game and is generally the most awesome, (T)BoxeR

In terms of who has been consistently good and won the most stuff, (T)NaDa.

In terms of who is the best right now, (Z)Jaedong.


The answer should be (T)NaDa, (Z)Jaedong still needs to win 2 more OSLs before he can be considered in the same league.

People have already pointed out that the question lends itself to ambiguity, but taking the strict interpretation of "highest absolute skill level" I vote for Jaedong, although cases could be made for Flash and Bisu.

I thought the answer would be an obvious iloveoov.

If we're talking about specific timeframes, then iloveoov was clearly the best player of all time.

Boxer: #1 cuz if you look Starcraft in the dictionary, BoXeR should define it. He was bonjwa, he invented a lot of shit, still wins games today and he was there since the beginning. I just cant think of sc without BoXeR

NaDa: #2 Cuz he is the most self accomplished player of all time. He was #1 in KEspA for like 18 months in a row when he was dominating. To this date he remains the most consistent player, and still an opponent to fear.

Bisu: #3! Bisu is a freaking hero. Peaking with the highest ELO of 2352 according to TLPD. Bisu broke the trend of Protoss fearing Zergs so much and I think it brought sc to the perfect balance. First protoss to ever make it to #1 in KeSPa. I would say Bisu is the best player sc has ever seen (along side with JaeDong and Flash).

JaeDong: #4... What can I say? Lol, this dude is just amazing in every single and possible way. But, I would keep him in #4 just because Bisu did something more spectacular in his career... In my opinion...

Flash: #5, well Flash is possibly as good as they come. Those last three players are like the top of the top for the races. I cant imagine anyone surpassing their skill level. Theyre just too Miraculously good. Maybe someday, someone will dethrone JaeDong, Bisu and Flash. But event hen I think they will remain immortalized. Perfect play all the way.

Good list and i wanted to comment on the end of your post.

Ignoring the fact that Jd/Bisu/Flash will be the last of the best players in Sc1 because Sc2 is right around the corner, i think given the time to mature and come into it, Movie and Baby would be excellent replacements for Bisu/Flash.

As for Z, I dont want to watch anyone play that race unless its Storm Zerg, Mutalisk play got old when July used it.

And this tops (T)NaDa's 7 years of not fading how?
