I honestly think that Iloveoov's domination was more of a product of figuring out macro before anyone else did. Granted, he had amazing control to go with this but I don't know, he was bonjwa for sure I just don't know about best player of all time. It's almost like he was picking on little kids that didnt know better

I think for every definition of "best" i would choose differently in that poll. But the heart/mind combo falls for oov (:
Someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.

The Best Player in relative skill is without a doubt Oov....come on 27-0...thats why he is the cheater! In results, nada for sure....
In charisma, BOXER....
In absolute skill, Bisu (because he is the best now...)

basicaly thats all right.

BUT dont you realize we are asking for the best player ever ?
What has charisma to do with it ? Make a poll about the most charismatic player ever and i agree with boxer being first. But in this poll.. its just stupidity.. and with all the blind boxer lovers out there we really have to begin to let him out of polls. Granted we want to have serious results...

Bisu might be the best player in terms of skill.. Oov was the most dominant.. that IS DIFFERENT from being the best EVER..

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..

I personally am a big Bisu fan but i voted NaDa.. because this poll was not '' WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE PRO GAMER ? '' BUT WHO IS THE BEST EVER..

could all those boxer fans once be honest to themselves.. =(

Boxer never was best player ever. Even was not close. Other players are candidate for best player. But not Boxer.He never was dominant player too.Boxer is a just symbol of StarCraft.
Best player ever-----------> Savior.

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).


well yeah because shinhan osl was the first osl he entered?

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..

Chill out guys. This poll is subjective and depends on how you define best. Don't kid yourselves into thinking that most of the votes weren't "who is your favorite player" and stop trying to change the results.
