Does Rain or Parting deserved the 10th spot ?! I will go for Rain

Stephano has brang so much to the game and I will definitly put him top 10 but I think it's going to be Korean only

In terms of all time Taeja is 29-20 against Life.


In offline matches life is ahead 19-17 in games and 6-5 in series, but in online matches life is 1-12 in games and 0-6 in series. The same offline-online result difference exists for life vs parting and life vs innovation. I wonder why there is such a discrepancy between offline and online results for life.
Don't worry, be happy!

I think there are many inconsistency in some arguments (finally I think is a subjective list disguised). For example at the introduction they order the tournaments into differents tier but then when they analise the players the tiers seems to dissapear by saying that the path of the players where harder in one tournament or other. They put away the preparation and pressure that is involved in one tournament like GSL and in other like IPL.
Saying MLG, IPL, IEM are tier 1 same as GSL is like a joke. Is like saying that wimbledon (in tennis) is the same as shangai masters because all the good players compete in both. Formats are different, pressure is different, preparation, etc.
Winning WCS global finals, Hot6ix cup and IEM worldchampionship. Plus reaching WCS global final and GSL semis is way more important than winning 2 MLG, Dreamhack and IPL, plus reaching GSL finals (and losing against jkajji =/)

With the argumentation that is being gived I can see Taeja winning that will be even worst than Sniper winning.

I don't know why people keep placing Mvp first. He was a amazing. but at the beginning of SC2. That's why I think NesTea doesn't deserve a spot on this list. I get that NesTea won three GSLs. But when did he do that? When nobody besides a handful of players knew how to play the game. It wasn't nearly as figured out as it is now. I really think that Life is the best player of SC2 because he won a GSL when Mvp was in his prime (actually beating him in the finals), and he just won Blizzcon and GSL now, 3 years later, apart from many other tournaments. It would be cool to see a list of all the players in their prime. When they were at the top of their game. That would be so hard to judge. People like Jaedong, Dear and Soulkey would belong on that list.

Mvp was well past his prime when he played Life in the GSL finals. Nobody had even expected him to make his fourth final months earlier when he beat Squirtle because his injuries had stunted his game so much. Consider also that the series was played during a point in time when TvZ was completely broken and that Mvp still somehow pushed it all the way to game 7.

Great write up, loved the marine king bit. I remember reviewing all the replays i could get my hands on when I was super into game and everytime I pulled out an MKP game I would yell at my computer "you can't do that, it's so greedy!!" when i watched him play. The fact that he made it deep in so many tournaments with such builds is quite the achievement.

Not enough respect is given to his longevity imo. I don't even think DRG's best series was any of his encounters with MMA but instead with Bogus.

That series wasn't just good because of the exciting gameplay, it was good for the story. DRG looked totally washed up post-HotS up until that night. Then he just randomly comes out of nowhere one day and plays the best games of his career against what is probably the scariest TvZ ever seen. He even beat Bogus at his own mechanical game.

Oh ya. I remember how excited I during that group. So legendary. Not to mention he still holds the record for the longest GSL run in history
