Leta BY ALOT.
Hyuk is gonna prove himself. He IS playing on the most celebrated teams in esports with some of the best players in the world. He'll live up to the legend

Leta on the other hand was just a flash in the pan man.

Hyuk by far.

All the others on the list have been playing extremely well at some point and zero and skyhigh didn't even receive a lot of hype, way less than hyuk but for some reason everyone is talking about him.

I voted Hyuk thinking of it in terms of who is the worst.

In reality I should have voted Fantasy because he's been considered the best terran by some and that's totally ludicrous. Also I don't like him.


Fantasy was the #1 Terran on Kespa rank, while Flash was in a tough period. He was a genuine Royal Road candidate and the Fantasy Build was the real deal. He debuted with a bang and he is still amongst those who are closest to the top.

I don't see how Effort is overhyped. The guy is very consistent and is delivering great games.

I know that Zero received some hype after he used queen to defeat Bisu and Infested Terran to take out Protoss...But what he received is an outcry in comparison to some other players on this list.

I don't think Hyuk is overhyped. I think he got a lot to prove here and he can do it.

Leta and Skyhigh are before my time. But I heard that Leta was hailed as the Son of God for a while...

You can't deny the amazing results Leta has achieved.
He was overhyped at some point (when he was completely dominating Pro League) but now people know he's not the greatest Terran, people know he fails in indivdual leagues, but still he has achieved so much more than hyuk, the guy carries a team, while hyuk is being hyped mostly just for finally not sucking anymore. (And ok, for having pretty sick zvz)

Zero is probably more underrated than overrated cause he really doesn't get that much credit, but the results represent that so it's fine.
Despite being a CJ fanboy I can kinda understand skyhigh being 2nd simply because he is pretty inconsistent, but he's still obviously a very strong player.

Well lets face it if someone is overhyped then it is Hyuk even if only due to legions of SKT1 fans chanting his name.
Nostalgia is not as good as it used to be.

Hyuk.

Funny how back then I was hyping him up (as a joke), and now I think the hype has gone a bit too far.
<Wolfpox> i remember when MVP beat that one guy, and everyone was like 'whoa' except that penguin dude.

Hyuk. Fo Def.

the only matchup i've seen live up to the hype is his ZvZ. Jaedong wouldnt be Jaedong if he were 25% ZvT, 50% ZvP, and 80% ZvZ

Hyuk - he has good ZvZ, passable ZvP, and some of the worst ZvT among A-team progamers. For one of the most hyped players (if not the most hyped) right now, he has the least skill to back it up.

I could see arguments for Leta/sKyHigh but it's almost laughable that anyone could pick fantasy, EffOrt, or ZerO instead of Hyuk in this poll.

I was almost certain these 3 players would get top 3...Leta started off like a miracle, royal road and all that, but kind of choked since then and seems to become the next Sea in many ways. Don't misunderstand, I love Sea, but I think you know what I mean.

easy.


I agree with misrah the more I see fantasy play the less I think of him as a good player. Sure he's innovative but once his builds are figured out he just goes back to the middle of the road progamer he can't really keep up once his strats have been studied. His bio v zerg is pretty bad imo.

Easily Hyuk. Hyuk has received so much hype recently it's nuts, for somebody that hasn't looked particularly strong - it's just a phase.

Skyhigh got super hyped after the Winners League finals, and I haven't seen him be particularly amazing since then.

Zero was hyped for what, like a week or two? Then he crashed back down.

Leta feels like the same - he had a lot of hype around when I got into progaming last January, and since then, I see way more anti-hype than hype. It's sort of depressing since Leta is one of my favorite players ._. When everyone hates someone, it doesn't mean that they're hyped up.. t_t

Effort and Fantasy aren't overhyped. I don't like Fantasy, but he's really good. The hype is totally deserved. And Effort - Well, we'll have to see. At the moment he's sort of Leta-ish, but I doubt he'll get BBS'd out of the OSL again.

Notes - + Show Spoiler +
I think all of these players are really fucking good+ Show Spoiler +
except Hyuk
, I'm measuring hype based on the amount of positive/negative/etc comments I see about players in various threads and signatures. So when I say stuff like "Zero crashed back down", I mean "he didn't live up to the hype at the time, and is now not overhyped, if he's even hyped at all." I sort of think he needs more credit. Leta is a top terran, but to call him better than Flash is slightly impossible. Skyhigh... I don't watch as many of his games. But the hype has died down enough so that most people think he's a solid player, and thusly isn't overhyped anymore.


The word hype has lost all meaning with me typing it this many times T_T
I have nothing to put here. Obzy#1821 on Bnet.

Any of the SKTs, Effort and Skyhigh. Zero needs more hype and Leta is just that awesome.

Hyuk.

How can fantasy be overhyped he made it to 2 back to back OSL finals ffs.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.
