Liquid Tyler. He gets a lot of shit despite being pretty damn brilliant. Watch pretty much any of his games, and its not that he gets blown out. I'd be worried if I were most of the other pros, because if he gets back on track it will be scary.

I'm sure there are a ton of korean players who are underestimated, but honestly we dont see them that much. If they have 2 bad games a month and they happen to be during the gsl we all right them off as a disappointment. And most koreans dont stream all that much or go to foreign tournaments.

SaSe and Destiny. I feel like Destiny in particular is still seen as a mediocre amateur by a lot of people. When in fact he's showing real potential.

DeMuslim, believe he is 14th on the EU servers, was rooting for Tyler to beat him, but Muslims micro was incredible, he can overcome top 5's with a small ball of marines/Marauders.

Top 5's of what?

I highly doubt that Demuslim stands much of a chance against top 5 Koreans.

Wow, really surprised by people saying Destiny. In my eyes he is the most overrated player in SC2's lifespan.

Most underrated would be Byun imo.

Edit: And stephano of course

It's funny. This thread is about who is underrated, but to me it's more telling about who is actually overrated. Mainly a lot of European players, like nerchio. Not saying players like this are bad, but people seem to overrate them waaaaay too much.

I'm gotta go with destiny. He goes the same thing every game and still makes it work, and if he would only concentrate on macro while doing his brofestor drops, and maybe take a third before the 13 minute mark, then I cab see him doing real well. He certainly has the mechanics for the game and im amazed how he crushes protoss deathballs on even or less supply.

wtf why are you all saying sage??? that does not make any sense at all
sage showed very little so far...
sure what he showed was really impressive but he DOES get hyped for it like if he was the sc2 version of bisu, so if anybody is NOT underrated it is him

Me obviously

lololol

In seriousness though--Nestea is pretty underrated. No, I'm not even joking. That guy needs a lot more praise than he's been getting.

Specifically, i think min is capable of a lot and will probably start showing results soon. A more credible name i'm watching for is top, although terrans are hard to predict.

And as a big name not living up to himself yet, Imma be one of those people that will stand by alicia for awhile. He's capable of great things, but i think his popularity might start getting stale if he doesn't show results

Edit: GL to all of them!
