#1 Mvp #2 Life #3 MC #4 MMA #5 Taeja #6 Polt #7 Nestea #8 Parting #9 Bomber #10 HerO
Explanations:
Mvp over Life because stuchiu also because it's correct until Life wins another GSL. MC 3rd as he's #1 in earnings and was the only Protoss with any success for over a year. (by playing dirty but still) MMA/Polt/Taeja over Nestea because of longer careers. (also because of Nestea's bracket luck which won't be addressed in the article) Polt vs Taeja is tricky because you have 7 premier wins for Polt and 11 for Taeja, $350k in earnings for Polt and $275k for Taeja, and you have Polt's Super Tournament win while Taeja doesn't have a Korean tournament win. Tough call so it's safe to go with Liquid bias. MMA is above both because of two Korean wins (GSL and Hot6) and he's still a top terran while Taeja has fallen off and Polt is in foreign-land. Parting and Bomber make it because the article is being written by Startale fans.
Zealously mentioned that only 9 of the 12 players KalWarkov posted are in the top 10, so there's a "wild-card" which is likely to be Stephano, HerO, or Jaedong. Out of the three Stephano has the most winnings but HerO had the best overall career and also Liquid bias but not really since HerO really was better overall than Stephano even if Stephano wrecked him often with BL/Infestor.

I know It's controversial and knowing stuch stephano probably isn't on it. I see him as one of the all time greats, but then again if leenock and DRG are below 10th stephano probably isn't there.

Mvp and Life are the clear top 2, no one seems to be contesting that. I think Mvp is first, but it sure is getting close. I think Taeja, MMA, and MC are the clear next tier. It baffles me that a lot of people are putting MMA in the 7-10 range, especially with the reasoning that his relevancy is due to beating on foreigners, which is preposterous when you look at the recent Blizzcon and GSL. I personally think MC is a step below Taeja and MMA, but those two are pretty hard to rate. My heart says MMA, and my brain can't really decide.
The rest are pretty hard for me to decide. Polt, Parting, and Zest are in there for sure I think. Otherwise, Nestea? It's personally hard for me to compare him to others, because the three GSL wins are just so insane, but he has no results otherwise. Bomber? Hero? Innovation (less sold on him)?
Excited to read the rest, I hope there's also a section mentioning the other top candidates that didn't make the top 15!

I'll change my list to this:
#1 Mvp #2 Life #3 MC #4 MMA #5 Taeja #6 Polt #7 Bomber #8 Nestea #9 Parting #10 Innovation
honestly I'm not sure which player should be 9th and which should be 10th, if I'm somehow wrong about one of the picks I'm going to guess that Zest or TLHero is in there instead.

this thread will be bullshit if MVP isnt number 1.

I find hard to believe that sOs is not one of the best 15 SC2 players.

He has a very high prize money won/premier tournaments won and sustained success ratio, I will say that. It's that lack of sustained success/dominance compared to most of the rest the list that keeps him off, I think.
