At the very least this proves Terran is the best race poggers.

It has the highest skill ceiling of any race and therefore the best players will be more successful with it

Terran has the least overall winnings despite having the top 3 players of all time. Terran is not the best race. Maru, Inno, and Mvp were all just that damn good.

If you mean any kind of tournament, I'm not sure.
If you mean Majors, you are right; if we speak of Premier, Protoss have more than Terran that have more than Zerg.

Thanks Nakajin, it was fun
The final vote as close as it should have been. Cograts Inno.
Now Maru to win the next GSL or Blizzcon to definitely and unquestionably surpass him.

Innovation is the greatest of ALL TIME. So it won't really matter what happens in the future... otherwise the title would be meaningless.
Plus we don't know about SCII in 2020...

Anyways, well deserved #1 spot for Innovation, he truly is the GOAT in SCII.

@Edit:

And thanks to Najakin for all the work and the write-ups. Good job!

Loved the tournament Nakajin, thanks a ton for putting in so much effort it was really fun to do this and added one more enjoyable thing to do at TL. Loved you summary too, very objectively written.

Inno deserves the seat (even if its Maru in my mind), going to be interesting to see what happens in SC2 since the power balance seems to shifting quite rapidly at the moment. Hoping Inno can return to form too, he is really under performing this year.

With recent results in mind maybe Stats could have gone farther too!

It is more like GOAT from the beginning of time until today I guess

We'll see 2020/ 2021

- if Maru can usurp the throne
- if Stats can break the Terran stranglehold of the top 3
- If Serral can brute force his way in the top 10
- if soO can place 2nd in yet another tournament

It proves Terran has had the most dominant players in Sc2 history.

It proves that out of the people that voted, most thought that these terrans have been the best out of all players available to be voted Personally would have put SoO as third, but the people have spoken.

Votation aside, Terran titles are heavily polarized: a few have won many Premier tournaments(TaeJa, Inno, Mvp, MMA, Polt, Maru won at least seven each, while no Protoss exceeds that amount; only Life and Serral won more than four among Zerg).
