I let the readmore.de community rank the best orcs, nightelves, humans and undeads in 2009 - their current performance in 2009 was ranked by the community. Note that some players that had huge success before that point might not appear therefore (e.g. Zacard, Lucifer) or too low ranked compared to their all time results. 2009 was probably the last year of truely competetive Wc3. Here the results from back then (in spoilers, sc2 relevant figures marked) Orc 2009 + Show Spoiler + Name....................Points 1. Lyn........................537 (Korea) 2. Grubby...................504 3. Fly.........................402 (China) 4. Lucifron..................398 5. Focus.....................342 (Korea) 6. WhO......................250 (Korea) 7.

Also honorable mentions for tak3r and AKM for playing batshit crazy. | ||

I am not saying KR completely dominated CH but they were still better... KR even won most of the KRvsCH wars (if not all). The REAL power rank would be something like: 1) Moon 2) Lyn 3) Grubby 4) Lucifer 5) Soju 6) Remind 7) Fov 8) ToD 9) Sweet 10) Fly100% 11) Soccer/Infi/Reign/etc (so many players) Lucifron, demuslim and other players should never get close to top20 players ever. I wonder why so many people forgt about TH000, Soju, Zacard and other legends. For some reason people also are not even including some of the 4 UD legends: Lucifer, Sweet, Fov and Reign. Decent players like Creo/Susiria were also better than Lucifron/Demuslim (Lucifron used to be a total BM abuser ;/) and other players mentioned here. some notes: 1) Remind said himself that Soju was his master and taught him everything he knew. 2) At some point, all NE were losing to UD players, with only Soju (and sometimes Moon) being able to beat them 3) When Sky came to the scene, he was much better than Tod. 4) When Lyn broke the scene, he was also better than grubby 5) All the big 3 UDs (Lucifer, fov and sweet) had their time of brilliance and domination, each on a different time. 6) Many o the players dicussed on this threat were only able to start winning tournaments and zotacs after the scene started dying 7) Infi was terrible when the scene was on top 8) Happy used to be a little bit BM (and too sincere) in WC3. He made very good points tho and had one of the best micros of all time. Edit: Players like vortix, Bly, hasuobs and other names also only appeared in the very late scene (when wc3 was completely dead). On the other hand, Tod and Happy (mainly Tod) dominated when the scene was bigger. Violet also did pretty decent, but the scene was kinda dead as well | ||

"koreans are dominating bw, its hard to be a bw pro in korea or anywhere, lets try our luck with wc3" (this would apply to korean non bw pros wanting to be bw pro) so there just happens to be many wc3 pros playing sc2, and many of them fully capable of good bw pro if given the chance however since bw pro scene was so saturated with talent, it could be easier to become a wc3 pro. seems plausible. sc2 scene is still largely dominated by bw players. naturally there are more wc3 pros coming from na/eu since there wasnt a big bw scene and wc3 was bigger. tldr: in korea bw scene held talent. in eu/na, wc3 scene held talent. so naturally, thats what we see with sc2 transition. | ||

CH did great but KR was still a little better, all UD, NE and ORC KR players were better tha CH. China only started dominating so much towards 2009 or later because a lot of korean players went to army and had to retire or just stopped playing (fov, sweet, lucifer, check, Soju, Moon), even players like Lyn had a huge break, but even after only a few days of practing Lyn was already on good enough shape to rape players like Remind, Fly100% and the chinese human players (sky, th000, infi). I am not saying KR completely dominated CH but they were still better... KR even won most of the KRvsCH wars (if not all). Korea was the better country most of the time, but I would say that China was marginally better in 2009, right before the release of SCII. The was mostly because Moon was slumping and Fly/Th000/Infi got especially really good. Only Remind/Lyn could really compete. | ||

I just think its important to note that after 2009 only Remind and Lyn were really competing. Soccer was also a monster but for some reason people considered him to be the underdog, even through he had much better results than Remind when both competed at the same tournament/year. | ||

I honestly don't know who Hanfy is, either in WC3 or in SC2. =( I've never heard of Tak3r or AKM playing SC2 either, but imo they're not notable enough. 1) Moon 2) Lyn 3) Grubby 4) Lucifer 5) Soju 6) Remind 7) Fov 8) ToD 9) Sweet 10) Fly100% 11) Soccer/Infi/Reign/etc (so many players) Where's Sky? SoJu may have been better than Remind in skill but lacked accomplishments. Th000, Fly, and Infi were probably the best players at the end of WC3 and they were also consistently good. Lucifer/Fov/Sweet/Reign are too high for their accomplishments and their time in the scene. If you want to give them a handicap for being UD and another one for quitting early, then I'd understand. Even then, Lucifer is still too high. | ||

I think you are mixing him up with Philbot, who was another Australian wc3 player who was semi-successful on the international level and went DK+fiends every single game (including UD mirror, where Lich first was clearly the strongest build).Also Polt wasn't really casual, he just restricted himself to playing in Korean tournaments due to school, and I remember him playing as early as 2005-2006 in the Korean MBC Prime League WC3 tournaments. He was the pioneer of early Mountain King first builds(even before players like Infi and TH000 were popularized them) though he was never really successful enough to go deep into these tournaments, but he was capable of qualifying for them regularly. | ||
