P: MC, Parting, Squirtle; after those I'd pick Seed, Genius and Creator T: Mvp, MKP, MMA; Polt, Jjakji and Gumiho not making the cut Z: Nestea, DRG, Life; Sry Leenock, Sniper and Fruitdealer (people forget how good this guy was during the first seasons of GSL)

Agreeing to 99% of your list, but you're missing alive somewhere in there.
well thats natural, hes the invisible Terran afterall, people like to forget he was regularly trashing the Taeja`s and MKP`s and his wins against MC or Squirtle, well afterall the crowd promptly left after they ve seen the IPL4 finals ;-)

Feel free to remember that next time you want to argue with me that protoss didn't have the worst time overall in WoL.
To be fair, Ps won OSL, BWC Korea, Asia, Global, WCG 2012. So although in terms of GSL, P has had it the worse. These other tournaments make it a bit better (although still last).
zerg and terran have won a lot more than that over WoL history though
Haha dat classic convo again...
Oh wow so they are actually even in matchups 4-4
Maybe 3–4. Looks like that ZOTAC game may be duplicated. I dunno why the filter didn't catch that one.

I don't think they are (duplicates). There were 2 season of ZOTAC Team Invitational. This is probably the 2010 result. Only added Season 2 because it wasn't a complete mess like Season 1.

My top WoL top Terrans:
1. MVP 2. Taeja 3. Gumiho 4. MarineKing 5. Polt
Nah dude, aLive, Jjakji and PuMa have all better solo accomplishments
But regarding raw skill I would put him in top 8 and regarding most valueable teamleague terran 1st / 2nd tied with MKP
Teamleague terran is probably tied between Mkp, Gumiho and Taeja.
People forgetting that Puma became famous for his retardly sick TvT.
You can't mention the best Teamleague terrans and not mention MMA. This guy was the ace for the Slayers team that won 2 GSTL titles. MMA began as a teamleague monster.
I'm getting on the Taeja train!!!! Take down those Zergs
Off the top of my head: 1. marine tank push 2. slow banelings the whole game hurt Soulkey 3. multipronged drops 4. baneling landmines explode preventing a heavy push form taeja 5. sick marine splitting will tripple dropping 6. Taeja does a final push with heavy vikings and destroys all air 7. destroys tons of overlords while dropping mules 8. lands vikings GG
Looking purely at the RO8 results (and not considering the content of the games themselves), they all look like amazing 3-2 series except Parting who just kind of rolled over and died.

Teamleague rankings Everyone forgets that jjakji basically carries his team in TL, everytime. (Ignore the errors in the rest of the table, working out a few kinks).

That's an interesting page, but you can't ignore the fact that MMA is a 2 time GSTL Gold Card MVP. The issue with that page is that it weighs all games equally, when that is not always the case. Going up against MVP or DRG in Game 9 of the GSTL finals is much more important than an online IPTL match.

Don't let us down Taeja!
Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't MVPs problem actually like a nerve injury in his neck or something like that. From what I understand his injury was much more severe. It seems like Taeja has been recovering from his well. He was just fielded in PL after a couple months which is a great sign and his play has been improving throughout the GSL as he has played. Watching him today it almost felt like the old Taeja again. I really think if he continues to recover like it appears he has been he has a great shot at winning the whole GSL. He has only zergs left and has shown to be very deadly in that match. Pretty sure he hasonly lost like 2 sets vs zerg in a really long time in the GSL.

Higher skill = more severe injury. It's only natural. D:
EDIT: On a sidenote, from the interview, it seems TaeJa has studied his opponent well for the match against Soulkey. Previously, he got chastised for not appearing to prepare for specific opponents, and more winging it, or playing his usual style. If you play smart, you can get very far.
