Genius is perhaps one of the most underrated Protoss in Korea (Pretty sure no one has even mentioned him in this thread yet x.x), he has been consistant since GSL1 and back in the earlier stages of the game the guy was an absolute beast when he was consistantly practicing. His play is genuinely always safe and his builds are always ahead of the curve. He always consistantly gets out of his group against good players and when he loses its always to good players.
Idra even acknowledged that this guy was pretty talented and Idra praising a Protoss player is rare (I believe they used to practice together in Korea?)
Socke is perhaps the most underrated player of all time in my eyes, every tournament this guy plays in he finishes around Top8, He's always just short a few spots of gaining some sort of cash prize. Everytime people mention this guy its like yeah hes good and move on, he dosen't even get the time of day from critics.
Generally players who dont have any real exciting flare to their play and just play a solid game are underrated, cant really blame that from a spectator POV though.
wtf socke if you didnt know, socke was kind of an innovator for the use of carriers...

maybe MVP is underrated but at the same time hes overrated.
Maybe its because he hasnt gotten a lot of attention lately.

ViBE, his play is so amazing and fast.

Socke, and MaNa. I have loved both of their play ever since I first saw them play, MaNa vs Naama at Dreamhack, and Socke vs Dewbie at last years MLG. I remember Socke being the first person I ever saw to use a hallucinated phoenix to scout.

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.

Nerchio + LoWeLy 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
No one cares about ladder for pro players. It means nothing.

This guy and HasuObs also (they have a very similar playstyle). I realized how insanely good Socke is during his hour or 2 with Mr. Bitter.

TheBestfou.
This might be a surprising answer, but he's considered the worst by many when he's actually pretty average. He actually did pretty well in some of the ICCUPs (Even defeating MarineKingPrime along the way) and while it's ridiculous to consider him a top pro, he's WAY better than the flak he gets.
In other words, on a score of 0-100, he's like a 50 but considered a 0 by almost everyone. The other underrated players mentioned by everyone else are like 70s-80s and rated as 50s.

The first people that come to mind for each race:
T - Goody
P - Socke
Z - Dongraegu + Show Spoiler +jkjkjkjkjk probably Machine, I think he has a lot to show still

Nerchio and HayprO for Europeans.
Destiny and Fenix for Americans.
TOP and YoungHwa for Koreans.

Most of the Chinese players because they rarely show up in foreign / Korean offline tournaments. Only time was Loner in GSL and Blizzcon and TylooJim who will attend IEM in Germany. Chinese upsets have happened in Broodwar, Warcraft 3, and it will happen in Starcraft 2. Chinese players are very skilled for the anonymity they have.
For Koreans and foreigners I'd say TOP, Select, and Dimaga.
