July, he raped OOv when he was 27-0 many times, being like a FBH to Savior. He won another OSL after 4 years.

(blah blah blah)
but Im done with this poll.. basicaly every person is voting for the player he likes the most. Otherwise I cant explain how Boxer is leading heavily at first place..
(blah blah blah)
could all those boxer fans once be honest to themselves.. =(


Boxer IS the best player ever.
Best is of course subject to personal preference, but what it means is clear:
The greatest, the most desirable.

If you could have ONE progamer and ONE only, which would you have?
The answer is INEXPLICABLY simple for me.
Boxer defined pro-gaming. Most of the people on this site (including myself) got into progaming purely because of Boxer. He inspired SO many people. Without Boxer who knows, we may not even have a pro-scene like we do today. He played with such genius and entertainment, suddenly the world was watching this guy and they loved every minute of it.
Even now people want interviews with Boxer, they want to see his photographs, they want to see him win games.

There's a reason he wins these polls; it's not magic... phil.

do you realize that all the things you mentioned have NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE POLL's question who the best player ever is ?

Are you stupid ? Serious question. Just read the bullshit you just wrote again. Maybe twice ? There is a REASON he wins these polls; it's not magic... it's stupid people like you who cant look beyond there horizont. Who probably dont have the ability to understand that THE BEST does not mean alle the things you just brought up in your post.

If they ask for the most charsimatic, the most important, the most liked, the most well known, the biggest starcraft legend ect.. you are right..


And what best means is indeed clear. It does not mean any thing u mentioned there. It means
the biggest success, how long the person did how good, it means how many leagues that person won, it means how dominant he was at certain times, it means how many games he won and lost, it means in what fashion he won and lost, it means to lesser extent, how well his games were played and things who get more and more subjective and leave the facts and figures..

I dont like to flame people but you just asked for it.

There is a reason why boxer is so far ahead. It's because many hardcore fans vote for boxer whenever he appears in a poll. Moreover most of these probably dont even read the poll. And if they did, many again did not understand what the poll was asking for.


my opinion:

Best player ever : NaDa

Most skillfull player ever: Savior,Jd,Flash,Bisu ( dunno .. )

Most important gamer / 'greatest' / 'biggest legend' : Boxer


But dont tell me the reason boxer wins this poll is the fact that he is the best player ever..



Thank for defining what the best means. Because it's completely up to interpretation and your opinion is no more valid than his.

You just contridict yourself massively it's pretty funny.
You don't actually understand what best means.

Best can be defined by "the most desirable" (look it up in a dictionary if you disagree).
Now if it said "The most desirable player ever" then would you agree Boxer was a sensible choice?

When you ask a group of people who "the best" is. It does essentially become a popularity contest. Because if someone is the most popular...they are the most liked....the most desirable... the best.

Who wins "Best Actor" at the Oscars... the most popular Actor among the voters.

You have every right to disagree with him being "the best", but you can never quantify what "the best" is and therefore insist that one person is the wrong choice!

I have to agree with this.

My vote went for Flash, partially because a lot of other progamers feel the same way about his play and game sense.

July won in the semis 3-2 and end the streak, but it wasnt a rape! And July lost a final 3-0 to oov and all time is 13-12 in oovs favor.

Yeah, why ISN'T JulyZerg in this poll? He won the Golden Mouse. It's not often that someone wins 3 Starleague titles... >_>

While it's true that accomplishments don't imply the best, I think they should still be a FACTOR in at least determining who belongs on the poll.

I took this poll to mean the player who has the best overall skill, and since progaming is theoretically always improving, I went with Flash. Even though my heart told me to vote Bisu.
Super serious.

Greatest dominance: Iloveoov

Greatest play over whole career: Nada (Flash would he higher I guess but Nada deserves it since he played for like 10 years ^^)

Greatest legend of E-sport and Starcraft: Boxer

Voted Boxer.

flawed logics. The players who debuted most recently having like 1-0 would have a 100% perfect career thus beating Flash.
