Nah, they are at least close, on point sOs was the best HOTS player and maybe the best protoss overall. 3 world championship, 1 korean championship and 3 silver in korean tournaments is at least close to 4 GSL, 1 GSL silver, 1 MLG, 1 WCS EU and a Blizzcon with just one other korean. Both player are in my top 5 personally | ||

He was clearly the best player in 2011 despite it also being the best year of Nestea, MC and MMA. And I'm not even summoning Stuchiu. Not being impressed with some victories doesn't mean they can be taken out completely; also, Kas-Bling-Xigua wasn't a joke back in the days despite not being a truly glorious path. | ||

Also, I do think the depth of competition matters so that's why I voted Stats over MC even though MC won more tournaments but in the case of Mvp and sOs, Mvp has a lot more wins, and many of them were very prestigious. | ||

- TaeJa- INnoVation-  soO- NesTea- Maru- Stats-. Zest- MvpWe have a bit of every era, the two dominante force in WOL in Nestea and Mvp, two HOTS great with Zest and TaeJa, the two LOTV greatest in Maru and Stats and two double expansion great with the SKT brother soO and INnovation. Terran dominate this top 8, but we are garantee at least one zerg in top4. I'm gonna make a quick placement matches round and then we are on to end this thing | ||

Bracket luck plays too big of a role Assuming Life is banned, the only name you could possibly switch is Zest with your Protoss of choice/Solar. Solar has like 4 or 5 premiers, somehow, right? Or I guess MMA. I personally think that Classic should be up there but he ran into Innovation. the order of my protoss: Classic: second best lotv toss behind stats, had a strong late hots, especially in Proleague sOs: has the titles, has been a threat for a long time, very innovative. Parting: Even though MC has more early titles, Parting had a nice longevity, and Soul Train is STILL relevant and it's my favorite protoss build to watch and play. Zest: Really beastly in 2014. he's really disappointing and really poo now. hero is currently a bigger threat. hero: had a bad start and end to his career, bookending a bunch of poo IEMs and high profile losses MC: I know, 2 GSLs when toss sucked. nothing else truly special. I'd take Classic or sOs over solar or MMA, to replace Zest | ||

Exactly my point and why this "top 8" shouldn't be taken as a top 8 greatest player list. If any of the other players would have run into Inno/Maru they wouldn't be top 8 either. | ||

Maybe you can put sOs there but definitely not classic. Classic might not even be top 5 protoss. Rain, Stats, Hero, MC, and Parting might all be above him. | ||
