Boxer autovote.

This poll is so much easier if you just look at the choices and ignore the question.

For those that say Bisu doesn't belong, IMO he's just as appropriate here as Jaedong (I don't think either should be in this poll).

Biggest impact on the pro scene - Boxer
Strongest long-term play - Nada
Most dominant streak ever - Oov
Most dominant in recent times - Flash
Current strongest player - Bisu (but by a small enough margin that you can't say its a valid measure)

Can someone tell my by what criteria Jaedong might be evaluated as best?

All of them are very good players.
Bisu is absolutely incredible.
Jaedong is a machine.
sAviOr was unbeatable at his peak.
Flash is awesome, but young.
iloveoov has revolutionized the Terran macro.

But Boxer cannot be unthroned.
He was ranked 1st for 17 months, a record that lasts to this day.
He influenced so many ppl to pick Terran and mentored some of its best (Nada and iloveoov).
He gave up his life for Starcraft.
He is a legend amoung the community.

But above all, he makes his games fun to watch.
He does proxy so many times and was one of the only ones to ever use Ghosts.
lol
And he's got the most pimpest plays XD

Long live the Emperor!!!!!!!!!!
lol


So true... Close this we have our best player pick =D

Oov. Others have come close, but I don't think any have matched the aura Oov had when he was at his peak. Savior 2nd, Nada 3rd.

how can you guys say anybody other than oov is the best sc player ever. leader of the macro revolution, he is the only man to have gone 27-0 in any matchup. comeon, think about it. we consider any player a god at a matchup if they go 8-0 in it, imagine 27-0. he just destroyed people, was a dominant and consistent MSL contender, fought back the OSL curse, and has one of the most championship victories in history. he was so good he almost ruined starcraft.

the best starcraft player is oov. at his peak, he set a new bar (check out his elo peak which was set at a time before the new 9001 game a week schedule) in starcraft progaming. even from a sideline role as a coach (before he became a player-coach) he impacted the starcraft world by creating the fantasy build (which should be called oov build btw). he indirectly caused the new mech TvZ trend that we hate so much now. nobody has had more impact on starcraft than iloveoov, whether it be revolutionary build orders or revolutionary macro, and nobody has been more successful. oov is the greatest player, and it is a shame that he is ranked last on this poll.

FlaSh is the most skilled player of all-time, but overall BoxeR is the best and most important player.

Can't believe Bisu/Jaedong are above Iloveoov though.

I said that because I read it somewhere that Boxer influenced Nada and iloveoov. I think it was WIkipedia. lol. I only knew a little about Nada, not a whole lot.
thx for the description though!!

Because that's one way of defining the best player. He was the most dominant player of his time. He's not the most dominant nowadays, which is another way you might define best. He's also not the most consistent, which is yet another way to define best.

I agree though, he shouldn't be last. Definitely should be ahead of Bisu and Jaedong at least. Boxer deserves #1, not because he's best, but because everyone autovotes him in TL polls.
