Terran: MVP, MMA, MKP, and ThorZaiN
The best SC2 player in the world, the legend killer, the real king of marines and the winner of TSL3/special foreigner to me.

Zerg: Fruitdealer, Nestea, DRG, IdrA
The first champion, the most dominating player in a certain period imo, DRG raised the level of SC2 a lot and IdrA just got SC2 a lot more fans and has a little spot in all our esports hearts!

Protoss: MC, PartinG, Rain, Naniwa
The Boss Toss, The Soul Toss, The Elephant Toss, The Keyboard Toss.

MC HuK PartinG and HerO


Agreed.

MC needs no explanation. Being the only Protoss to win a GSL in 2010 and 2011 as well as his countless overseas victories and runner ups.

HuK's victory at MLG orlando inspired hope for a all non koreans. That, along with his HSC3 and Dreamhack win as well as code S RO8 appearances made him the best foreigner of 2011.

Parting has captured two world championships (WCS and WCG) in as many weeks.

I could see an argument made for a protoss other than HerO, (Possibly White-Ra?) but HerO's warp prism play was in many ways ahead of its time... Hard to say here though.

I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Parting because he won BWC

NaNiwa because he's the best foreign toss player and had some really good runs in the GSL

And how does that make him a better fit than guys like Hero, Creator, Seed or Squirtle? oO

I'd go with the most "legendary" players for each, MMA/MVP/MKP/Thorzain for Terran, FruitDealer/NesTea/DRG/Stephano for Zerg, and MC/Huk/Parting/Naniwa for Protoss.

All of them have shined through in both their gameplay and personality and continued to get respect regardless of results, much like Boxer or Nada in the BW days. (not saying they are bonjwas, there's a difference)

I think Puma is an interesting suggestion (he's one of the options in the Terran poll). He pioneered the 1-1-1 and was one of the first Koreans to join a foreign team (I think Rain may have joined Fnatic earlier). Rain did have one game against Boxer at an MLG that got a lot of attention but Puma was the first Korean to really make a name for himself in foreigner tournaments, meaning he became well-known for his success in foreigner tournaments, whereas people like MC had already had success in Korea before making lots of money from outside Korea.

Edit: At L0L; since this is for WoL, I think the only Kespa player who can be considered is Rain. (Now I have mentioned both Rains in one post). Flash and Jaedong are legends, but not in WoL and when people think back on WoL those names won't be the first that come to mind.

You should do the anti-monument too. Who would be the statues of players from each race that we would build and then tear down?

I guess the question really is: How much presentism can we bring into our mount rushmore picks?

Since I know MMA was the king of 2011 but then fizzled hard, where does that put him compared to Life right now, or What if we chose the faces when Rain was in the ro4 with MVP? Would we not be tempted to say Rain?

With the end of WoL only a few months away, who would you put on your Mount Rushmore for each race when we think back to the days of Wings of Liberty?

For me, I'd go:

Terran: Mvp, MMA, Polt, MarineKing

Probably the easiest for me. The four Terrans with the most money, and they've all either won a GSL title or been in a lot of them. Mvp, Polt and MKP have been around the top of SC2 since the start of SC2, and MMA came on a bit later to win a few GSTL's and two GSL's.

Protoss: MC, ?, ?, ?

Yeah, I have no clue. MC and three guys. There are tons of guys you could put there. You figure it out.

Zerg: FruitDealer, Nestea, Leenock, Stephano

FruitDealer for being the George Washington of SC2, Nestea for being Nestea, Leenock for his various title wins throughout the life of Wings, and Stephano for his countless accomplishments.
