Zero is incredibly underhyped, how in the world is he even on this list?


I am more curious why 146 people voted for him.

I know he received some hype when he defeated Bisu with queens and was the first to use Infested Terran effectively.

But nobody called him Bonjwa or anything, and he is a very powerful player who simply suck at ZvZ.


yes, i completely agree with this. zero has pulled off some solid victories, and its not about beating the best players, but rather about keeping your team afloat as zero has done to the stars. it gets the morale going and ur team will win more

Skyhigh no contest.


skyhigh is bad, but hes not that hyped to begin with (i think its because ppl realize hes bad lol)

hyuk is probly a better choice because i heard a lotta buzz about how he was like "the best player ever" and all that crap.

in reality, hes done nothing but zvz (does 20% zvt ring a bell?) and his other 2 matchups suck more than ppl like tazza and doctor k lol

He was hyped up as all hell after he beat Jaedong twice in a row. I clearly remember some people getting all hot and bothered saying he had one of the best TvZs or something retarded like that.

Hyuk is getting hyped and rightfully so (he's been doing very well this month), but no one is claiming he's an s-class zerg. If he improves his zvt, does well in both the progleagues and msl, than he can be considered an s-class zerg.

This season's breakout player? : Hyuk

Most Overhyped? : Huyk

Make your goddamed mind


It's called "SKT1 autovote." Remember when people voted Bisu no matter what the poll question was? :D

I would say Effort is the most overrated. Neo Savior and he hasn't been able to really accomplish anything that Savior did in 2006.

Zero is overhyped? I wasn't even aware that Zero HAD hype... o_o

Though I think some players rightfully deserve hype for their Proleague performance but then tend to do badly in individual leagues. Some players are just really good at Proleague but then don't do well in the individual leagues. Leta seems to be one of those, and sadly, it seems Bisu has been showing signs of being one of those lately as well :|


EffOrts been in like 1 MSL and 2 OSLs, no one has dominated like savior had in 2006. Not even Jaedong can say that yet (although he is very close)

I still don't understand how EffOrt/Zero/Fantasy are even ON the list, let alone getting voted.

Fantasy has made 2 finals and a semi, winning a tournament is so hard these days that you can't simply win if you are on a streak. (Tell me nowadays who would beat jaedong/stork in a final handily, or a pissed off jaedong in a semi?)

EffOrt has never slipped off, he's been consistent in proleague, made it to the upper stages of his first few tournaments, and is a monster overall in the making, compared to when he started and went 2-1 vs tossgirl.

ZerO never gets hyped, and when he does, he loses a ZvZ and people bash him and say "lol zero is ment to be good?"

im sorry, but how is a 2 times OSL FINALIST + one time semiFINALIST, ALL IN A ROW, an OVERHYPED PLAYER? LOLOLOL.

last OSL everyone was saying "oh effort is gonna go far this time" the boy never made it out of his group, neither did flash, fantasy 3-0 that shit WITH STORK in it. the guy is a beast when it comes to individual leagues, if anything i'd say he is underhyped by most ppl.

i understand he has haters, but how is he third from last when he shouldnt even be in this list?


agree about fantasy but that doesn't mean effort is overhyped, he was in the group of death whereas fantasy only had stork and two other scrubs

Skyhigh actually won something on a big stage. Hyuk's just setting up to be a big disappointment.

I'm not sure why Effort and Fantasy are on there. You can make an argument that Fantasy is overrated but they're definitely not overhyped because they generally perform very well both in individual leagues and in proleague. They definitely live up to their hype.

Leta is somewhat overhyped with all the bonjwa talk but he generally shows good results in proleague - people just seem to hate him for some reason thus are voting him for that reason, Hyuk isn't really overhyped because its simply the same people spewing the same rubbish over and over and no one really talks about Zero so he's probably underhyped if anything.

Really the best option is Skyhigh who simply performs poorly against zerg, with some of the worst medic marine control of any 'high level' player, and protoss despite people claiming how amazing he is. One good matchup doesn't make an ordinary player awesome.


Performs well in proleagues but when it matters he always fails. He will never win anything.
