Great article; however, I feel like there's a slight against the artist formerly known as FoxeR in the final paragraph:
Without YellOw, Boxer loses many of the moments that defined his career. Without Squirtle, Mvp no longer stands alone in the world as the most cold-blooded and calculated player in Starcraft II. Without soO, there is no centerpiece to hold 2014 together, no consistency in an otherwise chaotic story. That is the role the kongs have had to fill. That is the role the kongs have had to fill. They strove for greatness and in their drive to take the gold, they fell again and again and again. But it is in their struggle that their legacies have grown. They are the unsung heroes, the shadows that give depth to the Winners' light. The players who became the final sacrifices to the glory of the Champions

You mention the other 3 Kongs alluded to earlier in the article but either purposely/accidentally leave out MK. If nothing else, I feel like it removes some of the overall consistency of the article....nevermind the fact that MK is awesome and should always be mentioned in such settings ^_^. I'd go so far to say that MKP helped define Mvp's career as well (being defeated in 2nd place by him twice in 2011)...or various other iconic moments.

(P)Alicia was a pretty big Kong, getting three silvers and three 3rd/4th finishes from 2011-2014.

It's always sad to me that Squirtle never recovered from that almost Royal Road run. Heartbreaking.

Mvp probably.

Nestea not yet. He lost 2-1 vs Trap in GSL qualifier and lost 2-0 vs Yonghwa in SSL qualifier

Wolf always says we might see Mvp again, but in another context than sc2.
Considering Wolf is into HOTS as well, i think Mvp might be playing it.

Soo consider him as a runner up but believe me being in the final on 4th consecutive time is a miracle and only he can be that person.MKP yet the undisputed one terran player who earned every prestige final set of game makes the ups and downs of a gameplay yet we always shout whenever he make his tricks.Squirtle...wooooooow....did i see fast toss on my base and ..kabooom...he got his...throphy!..love them all....But the one I could consider to be the fourth among them is the...Raging Idra......wow he made an exact tactics agains that slayer MMA and gave him a free win!....
