It's due to recency bias in favor of Maru, anti KeSpa bias against Mvp and the fact that people think four consecutive Code S by itself would propel anyone to GOAT status, let alone one already fairly accomplished player. or it's because some people have other criteria than the ones you made up to make your favourite player look as good as possible. | ||

2nd most dominant year in SC2 history - had significant advantages in terms of teamhouse support - seems to be in Grand final. I'm not sure. | ||

I'm not sure. Well one also has one of the best carreer in the game outside of his 1 year. Rogue/ByuN also didn't go far | ||

I believe that Mvp was the smartest player that has ever graced sc2. Mvp is one of my favorite players ever but let's not forget that even during 2011 which was his most dominant year and before his wrist issues got really bad he got eliminated in the ro32 of Code S and then lost in the up/down matches as well and spent a season in Code A. No one has ever been as untouchable as what you're talking about there. Everyone even during their most dominant peaks has weird losses. People just forget them when thinking about the best players of the past but remember them when thinking about recent players. Recency bias works both ways. | ||

He did also failled to win Blizzard cup that year, which was more of a World championship than Blizzcon or WCG were that year IMO. | ||

I think Inno's longevity is incredible and has value but Maru has good longevity and a GSL run that no one can/will ever come even close to. Also, tbh I can see Serral being top 5 in 2 more years since Stats, Zest, soO, sOs and many others will go to military soon (so he can catch up) but right now 18th place looks fair. Welcome everyone, it's been a long time comingmy ip birthday wishes tneb but after 3 month and 4 round of vote we are left with only 8 man in contention for the title of the greatest in the game. | ||

I followed SC2 much more closely when MVP was the top dog. But he was not nearly as dominant as people remember him. He was without a doubt the best, but he also was beaten convincingly on multiple occasions during his prime. I voted Maru. I think their accomplishments are pretty similar, but Maru has the longer career and is therefore more impactful. | ||

Hmm let's see - you value GSL incredibly little and international tournaments incredibly high (regardless of the level of competition "names do not matter, results do!"). You don't value Proleague at all and put extra emphasis on how high of a peak a player reached. I wonder which player benefits the most from your "unbiased" criteria. | ||

You don't value Proleague at all and put extra emphasis on how high of a peak a player reached. I wonder which player benefits the most from your "unbiased" criteria. I don't value Code S incredibly little, it's more like I value WCS; what is true is that my jaw doesn't drop as much as yours when four consecutive Code S victories are achieved when Code A is a joke. I value international tournaments quite high(don't you?), and the phrase "names do no matter, results do" is out of context here; the(most accurate and objective as possible, maybe using Aligulac?) evaluation of both the pool of players in a certain tournament and the path the winner had on his way to the title should affect how worth that victory is. Counting how many koreans are present isn't enough. I don't value teamleagues that much, it's true, and I find especially arbitrary to hold Proleague in such high regard. Peak vs consistency is not an easy matter, I would say an otherwordly peak is very important but not enough if followed or preceded by years of nothingness while a long career is a positive thing if the results obtained are mosg of the times above mediocrity(unless that player was part time and turns into full pro, or the opposite). | ||

That is his entire point. | ||

 I hope it was Mvp, Nestea and Taeja. Just to be contrary. | ||
