You discount SaviOr from the list of Brood War's greatest players?

The "discussion" was embarrassing, which is why it was closed. Everything that could be said has been said, and if new information comes to light that might warrant a thread. Until then, there is nothing to be gained by having a thread dedicated to a massive circular argument on TL.

I might have put MarineKing in the top 10 by virtue of the fact that SC2 has seemed so thoroughly inconsistent and yet MarineKing managed to achieve results for so long. But since players like DRG and soO have been placed already I guess #11 could end up being reasonable. Interested to see what the rest of the list will look like.

the player’s level relative to the time must be considered with several caveats


So this is a "greatest of all time" list, but you're judging the players within their respective time period. How does that work? That means they aren't the "greatest of all time". Mvp maybe greatest in 2011. 2012-2013 he's not that relevant and onward he's irrelevant. Top players right now (like Life) are at the highest level of SC2 we have ever seen and they are at a level way above people like Nestea, Mvp, MKP, and leenock ever were.

We must consider the innovation and creativity they used to make strategies as well as the refinement of pre-existing strategies, the meta in which they played and the outside factors they had to face during their reigns.


A lot of players contribute to innovating the meta. Give destiny a GOAT award or an acknowledgement for innovating with mass infestors?

I am always surprised at people placing MC at so high up, sure he is one of the best players but his styles are mostly lacking and purely 2 base all in.
unlike parting who has refined his play so well that he can play macro just as well as his close to perfectly executed soul train.

i am pretty sure destiny isn't the first to go mass infestors, I think it was spanishiwa who also invented the gasless queen heavy style which was ahead of its time, and it took a few months until koreans also took it up.

OK this is gonna be tough.

MVP, Life, LiquidTaeja, MC, MMA - probably the top 5

Polt, Innovation, Zest, Parting, Nestea, Bomber - 5 of 6 complete the top 10

Now with the hints:
Zest (in the picture) - is in.
Polt, Innovation, Parting, Nestea, Bomber - 3 of 5 complete the top 16

So:
A. two of: Polt, Innovation, Parting, Nestea, Bomber - aren't in the TOP 16.
B. one of Rain, Soulkey, Stephano, herO, LiquidHero, etc, is on the top 10.

B - my guess based on "feeling" is LiquidHero.
A is tougher. Without doing the research and not understanding completely the criteria used, any choice just feels wrong.
So my final guess:

6 to 10: Nestea, Polt, Parting, Zest, LiquidHero.

(BOMBER NOOOOOOOOO.... Bogus... sniff... maybe no Nestea top 16?, Parting? Polt???? AAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
