Mvp,MMA,MKP,Polt
Mvp, this man is legendary. He is the best player to ever touch SC2. He is the king of SC2. His legacy will never be forgotten. MMA is one of the greatest terran player in WoL. He is known for his legendary TvZ. MKP, the player who almost won GSL with pure marines nuff said. Polt, one of the most consistent player who play on top level.
Nestea,DRG,Leenock,Stephano
Nestea is here because he is Nestea. DRG, he is one of the most mechanically gifted player in WoL and has shown prowess many times. Leenock, he is maybe the best zerg at the moment and has been playing for very long time despite his young age. Stephano, the most famous zerg. Although I don't think he has been the best zerg at any point but he always remains one of the best which is impressive for foriegner.
MC
The only Protoss.

Terran: MVP, MMA, MKP
Protoss: MC, Parting
Zerg: DRG, Stephano, Life
|
Terran: mvp, mma, mkp, polt
Protoss: mc, squirtle, creator, parting
Zerg: nestea, drg, stephano, life (life is just really fun to watch, leenock is probably more deserving)

If youre going from the beginning of sc2 till now, based purely on GSL it would be without question (and in order):
Terran: MVP, MarineKing, MMA, Polt
Protoss: MC, Genius, Seed, Hongun
Zerg: Nestea, DRG, FruitDealer, Leenock HOLY SHIT i forgot about hongun, my favorite protoss, until you mentioned him ;O Seed has been out of GSL for such a long long time though, despite being a good protoss back in early WoL and winning that one GSL. But you are basing only on GSL. So since he won a GSL, then yea.
Yeah I totally agree, but unfortunately there's no one there to replace them. The current top Protoss simply haven't been around long enough or been consistent enough to break those 4 protoss in the 'all time' gsl standings. I'm sure in 12 months it will look different but hots will be out by then so maybe they will edge it out depending what happens next season

Terran: Mvp, MMA, MKP and Polt.
Mvp is the most accomplished sc2 player so far, if you don't have him on your list, you are doing it wrong.
Just look at this list.
#1 Gainward SC2 Tournament
#1 Arena of Legends: Team Ace Invitational
#1 GSL January 2011
#1 GSL World Championship
#1 MLG Anaheim 2011
#1 GSL August 2011
#2 GSL October 2011
#1 Blizzcon 2011
#1 WCG 2011
#1 GSL Season 2 2012
#1 IEM VII Cologne
#2 GSl Season 4 2012
Any more questions?
MMA is a two time GSL champion and has shown beautiful multitasking capabilities, which always made for the most entertaining games.
When you think of marines, you think of MKP. That should be reason enough to put his head up there. Plus he was the first back-to-back MLG champion and no one else made it to the GSL finals that often (Not counting MVP, because he won).
I was very indecisive for the last spot, but eventually picked Polt over Taeja. Both are excellent player and I personally thought Taeja was the best starcraft 2 player to date at his prime, but Polt has been around forever, has won a GSL and seems to me as the next Terran hope. Also this guy embodies the marauder, which fits quite well to Marineking.
Protoss: MC, Parting, Hero and Rain
MC is the highest grossing starcraft 2 player to date, three time GSL champion and the president of South Korea and probably soon the whole world. Not putting him up Mount Rushmore would be madness. MADNESS.
Parting is simply the best protoss player at the moment, won BWC and WCG 2012.
Back-to-back Dreamhack winter champion Hero is probably the most handsome and most creative starcraft 2 player I've seen (Team Liquid bias!).
I'm taking quite a risk putting Rain there, but I believe, we will see many great things from Rain in the future. He won the first OSL and surprised almost everybody with astonishing clean play. I thought rorO or Flash would be the first Kespa player to make an impact on the starcraft 2 scene and I'm certainly surprised by this guy.
Honorable mentions: Creator, Genius.
If Rain falls off, Creator takes his place. BWC #2, BWC Asia #1, TSL 4 #1, Prime Ace. Shoutout to Genius, because he won Blizzcon 2010 and made it to the GSL finals in 2012.
Zerg: Nestea, Leenock, DRG and probably Stephano
To determine the first three Zergs, just look at their achievements:
Nestea: three time GSL champion, Blizzcon Runner-up.
Leenock: two time MLG champion, IPL 5 champion, GSL runner-up, MLG runner-up. And he's only 17 and his birthday is April 1, which I find funny.
DRG: GSL champion, GSL runner-up, MLG champion, MLG runner-up, OSL runner-up.
There are lot of Zergs to choose for the last slot like Life, Sniper, viOlet, but I think Stephano has the most accomplished out of the four (Plus foreigner bias!).

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.
Wow, and DRG does not have a place in it. Seriously. If MKP does have a place, DRG should more so. Fruitdealer is no-one compared to DRG. Months of domination, compared to first few GSLs?

Terran: MVP, MKP, MMA
Protoss: MC, Huk, Naniwa
Zerg: Nestea, Leenock, DRG

reverse that and I think you have it right.

Only 1 of each race it's pretty simple. Nestea, MVP. MC.

I don't want to separate them by races. I'd just put MVP, Nestea, MC and Idra.
The first three are kinda obvious - most titled, most successful, most earned, lasted the longest during the whole period.
Why Idra and not Stephano/Huk/Naniwa/Jinro? Because Idra was and remained through the whole period an important foreigner, who would occasionally make a strike. When I look back, there's a whole year with no Stephano in sight, so I can't put Stephano there for WoL. But the future is his.

I think you guys are missing the point of "Mt. Rushmore" of Starcraft. Fruitdealer was THE man when he won the first Code S in the fucking sea of Terrans. They made him a friggin portrait. He is the 1st, the revolutionary George Washington, and he is most definitely should be on the zerg Mt. Rush. Seriously? Leenock? Life? They are way better than Fruitdealer ever was but that's not the point. They don't represent milestones in the Zerg race. They are just good players riding the wave.
Terran: Easily the 4 mentioned MVP, MMA, MKP, Polt. They all represent major points of Terran domination or play. I think Polt is a point of contention but noone is worthy of taking his place.
Zerg: Fruitdealer, Nestea, Stephano, DRG. These guys are all highly significant in Zerg history/domination and were all "the best" at some point in time.
Protoss: MC, HuK, HerO, Parting. MC is a given, HuK is the only protoss foreigner to have consistently made waves back when he was relevant, Hero is 2 time DH winter winner and imo one of the first to really use multi-pronged harass with WP/HT/sentry, and Parting because of his revolutionary builds.
OKAY. This is actually the most convincing post in the entire thread. I see why Fruitdealer should be in there now. Can't argue with any of your choices except maybe Parting.

I take pride in being kind of a dick but I wouldn't chisel faces of anyone into the holy place of another people.
e. maybe Goody, but that's it.

Actually, Goody should be put above everyone. We should carve his face into the moon or something, so the whole world knows who the panzer general is.

I'm most inclined to agree with this one.
Terran is self explanatory. Zerg is pretty fucking solid, fruitdealer was only a thing season 1 GSL so i totally agree with that + DRG was on a tear for a while.
Toss is the hardest, obviously MC is a president so he goes on, PartinG is a good choice as well. I think seed is solid but then we are left with alicia, squirtle, creator, san and tassadar.
As for most influential i actually think it might have been alicia although obviously creator did better overall.

First two seasons tell nothing about terran domination. Because the game was completely new. Yes terrans were better than the rest, but not because they were that good. First few seasons were by far easiest to win, not the opposite, nothing was figured out well. Even if you can give credit to FD for his 'innovative play', he doesnt deserve any for the perseverance Zergs like Nestea showed. He won one championship and rested on the laurels.

Parting and Hero surely belong in the Protoss monument.
