And Strelok.

For somebody that came in 3rd in SC:BW WCG he is quite underrated in the SC2 scene.

Minigun and most of sixjax. But Minigun has to be the biggest, he does things with toss many don't do and has some seriously wicked control and game sense.

Just so people realize. The point of this thread is for underrated/unknowns that have slipped out of fame or have hid just outside its reach. Being in the GSL pretty much means your name doesn't belong in this thread.

So far good ones ive seen.

Stephano, Lowely, Mystic, (my own so its biased: ddora, inka, MiTStareagle).

People mentioned Destiny. I think that if he got coached by a proper pro zerg and trained very hard, he has the skill to be good, but yea he needs to be less predictable.



That is not the point of this thread. The point of the thread is to mention underrated players. Fame is just a variable because you can't value a player's skill without exposure. Underrated means estimated below the real worth in terms of player skill. Like a previous user said, Polt is underrated because he wins a GSL Super Tournament yet gets no credit as how much of a Terran beast he is.

Most people had no idea who TSL.Puma was before he won NASL a week ago. He made very few GSL appearances and then comes to California and shows us some of the most impressive gameplay to come out of SC2. A month ago he would've been underrated.

The fact that you are just disgarding 75-90% of all Korean pros because they are involved in a GSL/GSTL match or two demonstrates your ability, or lack thereof, to gauge a person's true level of skill. It would've been better if you said "non-Koreans or foreigners that are underrated are..."

It's not fair for the Korean progamers that practice 70+ hours a week with most not even having a broadcasted game yet. If anything, being in the GSL MEANS you belong in this thread. The Code A dropouts, the Code B monsters that we haven't even seen play yet. People like DRG or MMA who we had no idea how truly good they were a few months ago - these type of players were the perfect embodiments of "underrated players."


And it's Ddoro. Not Ddora.

It's hard to tell because most times, as soon as the community sees an unknown player perform relatively well, the hype train takes off and it's an express trip to the fanboy town. Also, the performance of the players fluctuate quite a bit in this game so it's hard to tell who is truly good and deserve attention and who just gets lucky a few times.

Tarson is a guy who's always in the business end of tournaments and is pretty much completely ignored.

As much as I like the guy, he's probably the most overrated player in the world, actually.

Grubby. He's really, really good but people still think he's terrible because of some tournament performances.

Thanks for being a dick bro. I have wrote throughout every page what it was I meant the post to be, as I am the OP. I can quote myself 'Who are some players you think have the ability to play at extremely high levels that havent made breakthroughs yet?' 'What are some of your thoughts and players you feel haven't 'broke' out so to speak in the tournament setting.'


.........Summing Up-----Meaning they have 'No Name' at all in any scene or very little recently and have the potential to be great.

So yes, that means im not talking about players whe play in the gsl or gstl consistently. They dont fit the profile. That doesn't mean there aren't players in every country that fit that role though, and thats what my topic was aimed at. I think you need to calm down a bit. Read whole whole topic before jumping in to bash people bro.

Sorry about the typo, i believe i've said his name about 10 times in this thread, im ok with once being wrong.
