Unified: MVP, Nestea, MC, MKP I was under the impression how influential they are to the race plays a much bigger role in this regard rather than just results or how skilled they are. Fruitdealer earns a spot for me since he's the first Zerg and GSL champion. Won the thing when Zerg was having a very difficult time too. Sure when you look back at WoL, you'll see numerous other Zergs that ended up being far better than Fruit ever was. Hell, but only a few weeks after he was on top of the world MKP knocked his ass out in the ro32 and Nestea did what he did in more dominating fashion and even avenged him by beating MKP. Still, his win was very memorable and he did manage to stay good for awhile before falling off. That's got to count for something. | ||

Protoss would probably be... MC, Seed (the only other toss champ matters, unfortunately), and a colossus. No fourth face, but it might be Inca, we'll never know. Zerg are Fruitdealer (his make-up face from that weird everyone-is-a-transvestite season), Nestea, DRG and... the TSL logo. | ||

This is a WoL thing which should be counted from the beginning of WoL, not 'who it would be now' | ||

Terran- MMA, MKP, Mvp, and Polt This should be self-explanatory Protoss- MC, HerO, Parting, Squirtle MC for his personality and previous dominance, HerO and Parting for their play. The only reason I put Squirtle over Seed is because he just saved Korea. Zerg- DRG, Nestea, Stephano, Life DRG and Nestea are the two Zergs that were dominant before infestor/BL. DRG earlier this year was arguably the best player to ever appear on the pro scene. Stephano is the foreign hope, who just beat four of the best Koreans in the world back to back. He also accounts for 27 out of the 45 wins that foreigners have against Koreans in tournaments this year. Life appears to be next in line for the same spot as DRG and Nestea. His creative play styles make him potentially the best Korean zerg right now. | ||

But you are basing only on GSL. So since he won a GSL, then yea. | ||

MC is a no brainer. Genius is a no brainer in my opinion as well. HuK best three unit control! PartinG and HuK though have both had a great impact on the scene and PartinG continues to do so. (Protoss seems to be lackin' in the options of true faces of the game!) Terran: Mvp, MMA, Polt, MarineKing Mvp is a no brainer. MMA's performance in 2011 was just stellar. Polt is a GSL champion and an exceptionally strong Terran, even in the sea of overwhelmin' Zerg qq he still shows strong. MarineKing is MarineKing; there is no disputin' the rise of FoxeR. Zerg: Life, DongRaeGu, Nestea, Fruitdealer Life was the first royal roader and followed up his GSL victory with an MLG Dallas 2012 victory. DongRaeGu broke out onto the scene with a grand entrance in GSTL. I remember watchin' him the first time ever and couldn't get enough of his 80%+ win ratios at the beginnin' of his GSTL career. Nestea was the unstoppable Zerg and has won almost as many GSL titles as Mvp (though he's been to the finals less, but he's never lost a finals). Fruitdealer is the true face of Zerg for the start of StarCraft 2. Winner of the first GSL and his amazin' game versus Hopetorturer just provin' how much of a genius he was. Random: TLO, Apollo, GuineaPig, GuMiho Come on, these are the real faces of StarCraft! They played every race! Casters: Grubby, Day[9], djWheat, Kevin "Catspajamas" Knocke Honorable Mentions: IdrA, NaNiwa, Jinro, Stephano, Seed, Squirtle, Bomber, HerO, TaeJa, Leenock, Kyrix, HyuN | ||

All winners of GSL and MKP who might as well be a champion. Zerg: Nestea, DRG, Leenock, and Life GSL > all of Stephano's achievements. Protoss: MC, Seed, Rain, and Parting The 3 champions and the man with endless soul. Honorable mentions include Taeja, HerO, Naniwa, HuK, Squirtle, Creator, Genius, FruitDealer, IdrA, and Jinro. Also the real Mount Rushmore of SC2 is Mvp, MC, Nestea, MKP.

MC: of course, President Toss, even in his slumps your scared of him White Ra: the grandpa of Toss, with his unique style and harassment when protoss (warp paper prism) wasnt the norm Squirtle:Another consistent Protoss player, very dangerous bringing one of my most memorable moments to a GSL finals (mvp vs squirtle vortex on the mass bc Last slot, hard to fill this last spot, its just seems protoss pros drop off after there 15 minutes of fame, I would say it would have to got to one of these Naniwa, Parting, Creator, Hongun (how can I not use hongun when he he brought a carrier rush to gsl) Seed maybe | ||

MVP, MMA, MKP Nestea, DRG, Stephano MC, HuK, HerO Everyone mentioned has changed the foundational way their race was perceived and played and/or achieved a pinnacle that no one could ever touch (Huk's 2010-2011 results, Stephano's 2011-2012 results). If there's only 4 people on it overall: MVP, Nestea, MC, Stephano. Easiest snap call ever. | ||

TERRAN MVP - The first SC2 bonjwa, 7th in Starcraft as a whole. MARINEKING - One of SC2's biggest upsets ever would be if this guy never got his GSL title. MMA - TvZ was the flagship match of Wings of Liberty at its peak, and this man was the maestro. POLT - Champion of many things, intelligent, never gives up, and handsome. ZERG NESTEA - The Overmind of the Universe, the only player with an award named after him. DONGRAEGU - DRG is to Z as MMA is to T (see above), Most solid Zerg, Best GSTL player ever LEENOCK - The cute Octopus who promises the most entertaining games STEPHANO - The foreigner Overlord, the hope, the star, the only true foreigner that went toe-to-toe with top Koreans before the "patch" PROTOSS MC - God Tier Baller and Entertainer HERO - He has everything, and he's probably the most consistent PARTING - He's noticeably changed Protoss the most, and he's top 3 Protoss micro - really. HUK - Liquid, not EG. | ||
