Nerchio is overrated. Zero LAN results, loses badly to Koreans in online stuff. Basic his results are in ZOTAC's and GO4SC2's which don't mean much of anything, and yet some strange people consider him amongst the worlds best Zergs.
Probably the millionth guy to mention it but Socke. It's like everyone knows he's underrated but at the same time he just doesn't get the recognition he should. Been placing amazingly since beta and have often been praised as the best P of Europe in various match ups. + he's a fucking baller when casting.
Yeah. Saying him play is more impressive than seeing Spanishiwa doing his Queen+Spine play. Nerchio played more than online cup but he has to make a big splash in LAN, whereas Stephano clearly impressed during the HSC 3.

MC - Despite winning more money than anyone else in Sc2, despite being the only Protoss GSL winner and constantly showing better micro/macro/game sense/strategy than any other Protoss in the world by far people seem to begrudgingly accept him as a great player. It's absurd, he's 10 times better than any other Protoss player in Sc2 and yet he's still referred to by most as "one of the best Protoss players", rather than the God of Protoss that he is.
TOP - MMA and Puma might have all the hype but TOP has the results in Korean solo tournaments. Code A winner, Super Tournament Semi finalist (knocked out Nestea), some reasonable Code S runs. Great player.
Byun - Another fantastic Korean Terran who has no hype behind him but consistantly produces good results at the highest level.
DDE - Cheesy player but has good results for a foreigner.
TLO. He has AMAZING micro, but hasn't displayed any results in the time he was most recently playing due to carpal tunnel, although he still won a tournament in that period. Combine that with his creative play, and if he ever finds a new build that's solid and is finished with carpal tunnel, he'll dominate .
Also I would say people underestimate Deezer. I don't think he is really a great player, and even though he is an incredibly cheesy player who many think stream snipes, he isn't GM for nothing and he can play the game at a very high level.
He really is a solid player, and with his cheese, he is a threat to any other GM. He did just defeat Nerchio too.

Nerchio is way overrated in Europe.
And thats why he is rank 2 in EU GM whit 1,807 Ladder points and win 547 loss 155 77.92% win ratio
Morrow must suck because he didn't even attempt staying in GM.. Ladder isn't a good indicator of a players skill.
On topic, I think Stephano deserves more recognition but he's already quite known now so I'll say Moon because people seem to hate on him while I find his play so cool ='

He's not solid. Watch his games vs demuslim, they are laughable.
Slush and it's not even close. Consistent good results at MLG, he did good in GCPL and EG MCs when he was sent to play.
People don't respect his skills because he was one of the first zerg to make more than 4 lings before 90 drones and that was called cheesy at the time.
