A foreigner and a korean for each race i think is underrated.

protoss - ToD and NSHTassadar

zerg - Morrow and iS.Crazymoving

terran - vileillusion and oGsSupernova

They are all well known players, but non of them are really in the spotlight in tournaments, except for when Artosis pointed out Supernova, and i can see why.
Your handwriting's now so good, that one can see how badly you spell.

IMYongHwa

I think your pick is pretty weird. Everyone talks about YongHwa and how cool he is and how he killed 4gate in pvp and is a sort of Messiah. So much hype coming towards him, not much from him shown on the big stage. I think that he is overrated if anything. You would think that a player like YongHwa!!!!! would at least make it to the Up&Down Matches of GSL.


YongHwa's PvP is overrated yes, however if you watch a lot of these smaller korean weekly tournaments you will see that this guy is actually one of the most talented macro Protoss out there. Unlike the majority of players like MC and MC copycats YongHwa's play style focuses on a much more unforgiving macro style of Protoss. (Essentially he plays how Artosis would play Protoss if he had more time to practice and become pro.) Specifically his PvT is pretty damn amazing, his game against Bomber in the GSTL in my opinion despite being really outdated is still better then the majority of PvT we see now a days. Being stuck in in Code B doesn't mean a player is bad by any means, If i recall DRG was stuck in Code A and B for ages until he finally broke through. I'm looking for big results from YongHwa in the future, in fact this guy is probably my most hyped up Protoss in Korea to date.

Polt Prime - Won a GSL and still not comsidered by most to be a top Terran player.

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.

Nerchio is way overrated in Europe.


These are some of the dumbest things anyone has said so far!
One at a time:

Polt: No Results since Supertournament, and by no means an up and coming player

MC: Simply not true, MVP and NesTea have both one more! At times he as actually shown damn poor game senses! Were he didn't adapt but did his built anyways.., AND BY NO MEANS an up and coming player...

TOP: LOL you try to rank TOP with MMA.. because TOP has won CODE A and won some third tier solo tournaments? N/C

Byun: Constantly good results?!?!?? o.O You really live in another universe

Nerchio overrated? Hole fucking shit I just cannot belive what you are saying. He actually has some good results..
And beat Mana 5-0 and lost to Jakji 4-5 in bo9 series's ... you really dont know what you are talking about

This all depends on how you "rate" players. PRize sum? Which players they beat? Consistency? Popularity?
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. http://da.twitch.tv/sonic_eu

YongHwa's supposed smurf is a total PvP beast. But maybe he can't play as well in meaningful competitions.

Now agreed none of these players really confirmed since then but in July that claim was not completely stupid.

actually, back then even more so!

polt: why would he have been underrated in july? if anything he was overrated! as time has proven!

same as above holds for MC, in july underrated? I dont think so, he did "bad" moves.. didnt play as good as he was before, but underrated?

TOP and Byun: At the time they had 1-2 decent results, but underrated? again if anything overrated!

the only player he defined as overrated was nerchio, the one play who has improved significantly and shown some great results since! meaning by then, he was prolly underrated :D

I agree with San and ToD being underrated. i think yonghwa is underrated he plays like genius in pvt, super safe macro style.

i think revival is underrated

there are so many terrans that are underrated just because the top few are fucking gods. Jjakji, IMHappy (niniVP), sC (sickness + he's only 16, so he'll be back in form)

I think sjow will do better in tournaments soon.
His play might not look so good but he still wins most of the time.

Most definitely Maru Prime. He is a Korean Terran. His code A performance was impressing, and he all-killed startale, including making bomber look like a fool. I will be following this guy. He is only 14 years old, and I think he will be one of the best sc2 players in due time.



BBongbbongPrime All-killed the FUnited team with players like Moon in them, he was also one among the first to take out NesTea in a TV broadcast. He is quite skilled tbh, but i dont really like the way he acts etc

i feel like most answers here come down to players not having enough attention because they are not, as a personality, interesting enough.

don´t know about all you experts but i have a hard time analyzing the level of play of someone who is obviously way better then me and making the statement that his level of play is underrated. i mean... underrated by who? people like me fooling around in diamond league who can´t even achieve a logical worker saturation?

but in the spirit of a drunken soccer fan i´d say Socke. because i am a fan of him. yea thats it. like the guy. would like to see him more. im to honest for this world..
