The one person closest to ever playing a perfect game has to be savior.
The best player throughout the history of SC has to be nada.
The most brilliant player has to be boxer.
The most dominant player has to be oov.
The most mechanically skilled player yet has to be bisu or flash.
screw this poll, i'm not even voting :s

savior is the most overrated bonjwa ever. He abused the old MSL format like a smartass, but always failed to perform in osl/wcg (until shinhan osl, the only osl in which he performed well).

"Overrated bonjwa" is quite the contradiction in terms, don't you think?

"Best skill-wise (as in, if you took any player in their prime and matched them up)?" Jaedong.

Putting Boxer in this poll was a big mistake...

Maybe you should have waited and thrown him into a poll like '' who is the greatest Starcraft Icon of all times ? '' ..

It makes me kinda sad how this poll is going now.. ;(

I dont want to be harsh or anything, but Boxer even though he might be EVERYTHING in SC/BW he does never deserve the 1st place for something being called '' best ''

I dont have a clue how people can have the opinion Jeadong or Savior should be above bisu. Please explain it to me, thx !

I dont have a clue how oov is so low. It's ridicolous..

I dont have a clue how NaDa can not be at nr.1 spot.

Make this post again without Boxer.. and all the Boxer fan boys wont go by the brain, but again by there heart. Which would be absolutely okey for a poll you can answer with your 'heart'.. like ' who do you like best'' or '' who is the most charismatic '' but not '' who is the best player ever ''

If we go by the best player in terms of raw skill, I dont know how anyone can decide who is the pick then.. I would really like to know how you want to explain why savior, flash or jeadong should be above bisu. When bisu is right now raping left and right and doing amazingly. Savior at one time was untouchable, but so was oov. He is last places wtf !?

Seriously.. All players except nada,boxer and oov and ( maybe ) savior are kinda to ''new'' to the scene..

And Boxer is almost something like Giyom Patry.. who is almost too oldschool to deserve being called '' the best ''

Due to Boxers name appearing this poll was already doomed from the beginning

Well we can't really blame the Boxer autovote, he revolutionized how Terran was used, then made comebacks a little less than NaDa, but the difference was Boxer had a lot of creativity with his comebacks. NaDa on the other hand, just showed his pure Tornado style.

The word "best" is really hard to quantify because of it's abstractness in nature.

In terms of results: Savior
In terms of overall influence on the progaming scene: Boxer
Voted Savior though...

I love how a lot of people are so sure of their vote when they probably haven't even been around for more than 3 years.

NaDa's not consistent? Really? He's qualified for 13 of 17 starleagues since he began in Panasonic OGN 2002. He's also qualified for 16 of 19 MSLs since he began. Along with his 6 first place wins (not counting special tournaments like KT-KTF where he went 16-1 and KT-KTF2 where he got third) he's also got five 2nd place finishers and other third place finishers.

He may not always win but he's ALWAYS a threat.

I also have to echo Phil's statements because most of you who chose Boxer did so merely because he's your favorite player not because he's the best player ever. Bisu/Flash/Jaedong are far too new to truly be a candidate for best player of all time.

Truly, NaDa has been here for a long time and he's continued to show up in leagues and do decently well. Oov is gone along with that period of dominance he had, Savior is only now making a slight comeback (we'll see after the dust settles). And yeah, JulyZerg should be in the poll.

The winner of any poll with Boxer in it that isn't titled "greatest icon" or "greatest influence" is the "number 2" imo, which looks like either Savior or Nada, neither one of which I have a problem with.
