Actually looking at the pure skill and future potential there's the name of possible future Terran King.

- Bomber
- MMA
- Puma
- Byung (a bit far away from the three above)

I don't think that MVP will ever rule the stage again. He's play so much worst than so many other Terran.

MKP is always been overrated imo. He's play style was good only in the first month of the game where pure abuse of marine work. He's still a good player, but surely no the king.

The optimus write up isn't finished, it just ends on an open sentence. Other than that, a pretty good write up of all the talents. Oh, and Thorzain recently said (I think in his fanclub) that TvT is probably his best matchup now, and I would agree with that, his tanks are very good.
But yeah, on the topic? Bomber. When playing his best, he is better than all other Terrans, and I would say only worse than Nestea or maybe Losira. Unfortunately he has a tendency to choke, but once he gets past this, I can see a Code S win in the bag.

Right now, in my opinion the best Terran is Bomber.

But is he the king? No. He chokes under pressure and his TvZ isn't as good as it should be yet.

Also, in my opinion, for a player to be crowned the 'King' of a race, threads like this should be unnecessary. If I made a thread asking "Who is the king of Zerg?", every reply would be "It's obviously NesTea.", and I would be ridiculed for asking such an obvious question.

If there is dispute as to who the 'king' is, he does not exist.

EDIT: Suppose I should clarify my point - there currently is no Terran king.

I don't really think there is one player so dominant that can be thought of as the terran king.

good write-up but the thread seems like it still needs some work. Some icons are showing protoss and also a few players only show the events they appeared in and not the results (look at MMA for example). Currently there is no terran king, I'd say it's a toss up between polt and puma but they need to be consistent and win some more tourneys. I thought it was MMA or MVP but they haven't been able to be consistent as of late which is why my answer still remains that there is no king.

No king, none of them are significantly better than the others to be called such. that said they are all really really good.

Currently too hard to say. I can only say the few who I think easily come to mind: MVP, Bomber, Byun, Puma, IMHappy.

MVP and MarineKing have been in a bit of a slump recently but I'd still say they are at the top with Polt/Bomber/sC in a tier below them

So bomber smashes MVP in a Bo7 and he is a tier below MVP and MKP?

I wouldn't classify MVP as the best Terran anymore he's fallen so behind. Bomber is currently number 1 IMO but the Terran top tier changes so much since there's so many great players. There's no untouchables for Terran like MC (P) and NesTea (Z)
