Hello people,
my friend is moving to Finland and during our discussion we talked about - obviously - finnish SC2 players. There are some very recognizable names but we couldn't agree on who is most popular SC2 player from Finland. I decided to pass the question to the community so here it goes:
Elfi
![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/thumb/7/74/Elfi_dh_valencia13.jpg/300px-Elfi_dh_valencia13.jpg)
Known for: incredible PvP feats, letting IdrA win IEM in China some time ago
Team: Vega Squadron
Naama
![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/thumb/8/81/Naamafnatic.jpg/300px-Naamafnatic.jpg)
Known for: rare breed of foreign terran, winning DreamHack Winter in 2010 (the only finnish player with premier gold)
Team: retired
Welmu
![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/thumb/e/ea/Welmu_dh_bucharest_14.jpg/300px-Welmu_dh_bucharest_14.jpg)
Known for: consistency and solid results in WCS Europe, 2nd places in majors but no top4 in premier
Team: NewRoSoft
Protosser
![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/2/24/Menace_protosser.jpg)
Known for: during assembly winter 2013 (finland only event, apparently) finished 4th (behind people above). The same happened during WCS Finland nationals (except top three were in different order). For 2011 WCG qualifiers he finished 3rd behind Welmu and elfi but ahead of Naama.
Team: Team Menace.fi
Other
Which covers - among others - Fuzer and Satiini.
So, dear community, who is the most popular SC2 player from Finland?
Poll: The most popular SC2 player from Finland is:elfi! (103) 44% Welmu! (84) 36% Naama! (27) 12% Someone else (15) 6% Protosser! (4) 2% 233 total votes Your vote: The most popular SC2 player from Finland is: (Vote): elfi!
(Vote): Naama!
(Vote): Protosser!
(Vote): Welmu!
(Vote): Someone else

I thought Protosser was known for his ZvZ. And where is Serral, Protossers better brother?

I'd bet it's either elfi or Naama, maybe Naama. Welmu is easily the best finnish player at the moment but he doesn't have same kind of history like elfi or Naama have. I don't think Protosser, Serral, Satiini or anyone else really stand a chance here.

Well then, it looks like Elfi won with 50%. Thanks for voting.
|
Elfi is probably the best known. Serral would be my personal vote.
|
Booooooooo where is Serral
|
But Elfi is retired... so the title probably goes to Welmu now.

Elfi is on a "break"
Naama is retired
Serral isn't included
Not really suprised with the Poll-result, the running joke with Elfi being a "god" also had a big impact on it imo
|
You are missing Serral
He is maybe most promising foreign zerg.
|
I would say that elfi is more popular to gamers that has played sc2 for many years. And Welmu to players that started 1-2 years ago.
|
I think Welmu is the most well known these days, but Naama is my favourite.
|
Elfi or Welmu I would say is the most recognizable name, and then comes Serral, Naama and Fuzer.
Hard to really put them in order at the moment.
|
Welmu i would say, he show solid skill lately
|
I didn't know Richie Rich played SC2.
|
|
|
You forgot Fuzer, he's the most popular player in Europe, maybe the world?

Fuzer ofcourse.
Well Fuzer is king of 2rax. 2rax is most popular build ever = Fuzer most popular player?
|
The most visible would be Welmu, elfi is the most popular since he has a distinct playstyle and has fluff around him
