What's with all these lackluster polls of late?

The answer is no one.

There is no point debating this until there is more consistency.

Goody is consistent. He should be taken to korea by a major team.

There is no king. They have so many good terrans, unlike Nestea and MC is the king of their own race.

Btw. will PuMa attend MLG now that he's with EG?

I think he would if he had a pass, but the passes sold out long before he joined EG.

Looking at the entire year, i would say MVP because he won the most difficult and skilled tourney 2x.
Looking only resently i'd say Bomber on pure potential.

The throne remains empty ever since MVP got knocked down into Code A. No one has claimed it yet because there are so many good terrans in the field and it's hard to distinguish oneself for a sustained period.

I think that terrans are too even amongst eachother, polt, bomber or even MMA may shine but generally after their moment of glory they fall back into rank and file of the highest level terrans being very succesful and taking quite a few major tourneys, if polt or bomber can keep up on the their journey up either of them could reach MC/ nestea levels as kings of terran but for now no one.

If I had to chose 1 I would pick MVP. Bomber and sC come close though. Then theres a huge pool of players like MKP, Clide, Byun, MMA, PuMa etc. who are also very good, but I think MVP, Bomber and sC are above them rightnow. I think the best foreign Terran players are Kas, SeleCT and Happy.

Gehhh... it should be MVP, but he's been slumping so hard recently. He was dominant in a way even Nestea never was at the beginning of the year (including destroying Nestea in a series), but he hasn't made any noise for so long. I hope he shows us his true mettle at MLG Anaheim.

That said, I just went with my sentimental favorite, MKP. He can be very inconsistent, but he's made more finals than any other terran, and changed the metagame so much by introducing bio based builds in every matchup and pioneering terran aggression on zerg back when Terran was lost in that matchup after the reaper nerf.

People who vote for MMA or Puma on the basis of winning foreigner tournaments with weak player pools and Bo1 GSTL performance are silly, though.

EDIT: Also, Bomber has to be the most overrated terran, built on pure Artosis hype. Have you seen his vZ? :/

How can you say that MvP was more dominant than Nestea was when MvP was at his peak in the beginning of the year? Nestea was dominant during the 2nd GSL, not losing a game until the finals and this GSL he has not dopped a map either.

So no, I have to disagree with you. I think it is fair to say that IMmvp dominated around the 4th GSL and onwards until and including another GSL win, but Nestea is the most dominant player in the short history of Starcraft 2.

Nobody yet IMO, there's a lot of A- Terrans but I'm still waiting for that one player to emerge ala Nestea.

Bomber looked insanely good against Byun in the first two matches, and then proceeded to fall apart. Too many good terrans right now, hard to say who is the king of Terran.

The (meta) game doesn't favor Terran right now, and there's nobody proving this otherwise. Unless we see some shining beacon when every other Terran is failing, the throne remains empty. This is how it was/is with MC and Nestea, and how it will be with the next Terran King.

Oh come on................ -_-. if any one of these guys existed, and none of the others did, he would be the terran hero. It just happens to be that there are an insane number of excellent terran players. Anyone remember the Super tournament with 8 terrans left?

No other race has this many competitive players at the top fighting for the "king" title.

Just be grateful that you have so many fantastic players.

There is no terran king for the simple fact that after every big T win we have a new bonjwa born (after MLG: MMA BONJWA after super tourney: POLT BONJWA, after NASL: PUMA BONJWA)

Until someone can string along a good set of results through a few tourneys, we won't have a single king on the throne.

I wouldn't call him king, but I think Puma is the best Terran in the world.

MVP still at the top, the others haven't scored the big wins yet.

I really wish bonjwa would be a bannable word in the sc2 sections.
It's so frustrating that people throw it around ilke an everday word.
