 Jaedong. Since he is the current master he will challenge anyone else's claim of "all-time best" Maybe you meant to ask; "Who was the best player of their time? That might be  BoxeR, sAviOr, NaDa, or Oov? | ||

I know his career winning % is the highest in Korea right now, but obviously the old greats have had theirs skewed down by all the losses in their post-bonjwa career. This is a serious question. I dont know how to determine it without simply counting 300 games worth of TLPD for iloveoov, nada, boxer, etc. | ||

This is in order by the poll options. At 300 games: Boxer 175-125 58.33% Yellow 180-120 60.00% Nada 193-107 64.33% *It should be mentioned that he had a nice streak after this. Iloveoov 192-108 64.00% Jaedong 206-94 68.66% Bisu 190-110 63.33% Flash hasn't played 300 games yet. Currently at 184-89 67.40% July 178-122 59.33% Savior 179-121 59.66% Reach 159-141 53.00% Nal_rA 179-121 59.66% | ||

2. Most accomplished: Nada 3. Most loved: Yellow Boxer will always be the face of progaming. No one will ever take that away from him. There's a reason why people still expect magic from him despite the fact that his first televised tournament win was in 1999. Yes, that's ten years of progaming and counting. Nada is Nada. Recent top dogs such as Jaedong or Bisu may look comparable to him if we only take into consideration statistics and trophies gathered from "official Kespa" leagues, but if we look at their overall careers, it doesn't even come close. Nada is one of the three progamers (Boxer and Yellow being the other two) to have won double digit number of competitions, and he stacked more victories (televised or otherwise) against progamers than ANY other gamer. As far as progamers are concerned, Nada is the ultimate god of Starcraft. Giyom is the only other plausible name I can think of when we're discussing the "best Starcraft of all time", and that's only because of the stories I've heard of his amateur days before he came to Korea. Considering how hard it is to quantify greatness from those days, Giyom's legend really does become just that - mythology from the ancient days. As for Yellow, I believe that the universe will implode from the sheer drama if Yellow were ever to win the OGN Starleague. Some progamer (who are legends themselves) quotes I've heard regarding this issue: Chojja: Nada is the only progamer that I admit being truly defeated to. Kingdom: With Oov, I still felt capable of winning even I was defeated ten consecutive times. With Nada, I only felt fear. July: In my mind, Yellow is the greatest zerg ever. He did things that weren't humanly possible. | ||

In terms of raw skills, today's bests are at the top. Bisu, Flash, Jaedong...And that's why it's hard to compare players from different eras in any sport. | ||
