Yes I did, I admitted it in the thread immediately because I have him in my top 10 list. I will not redo polls though. Just use Someone else.

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.


The fact that TL is stifling discussion about ongoing matchfixing in SC2 is what's embarassing. The importance of the issue in and of itself warrants a thread, period. But I guess TL wants it quiet just like Blizzard and KeSPA.

Yeah TL is part of a massive conspiracy to cover this all up. If only they had allowed some people on this forum to keep saying the same thing over and over again/make baseless accusations then we would have all the answers about match fixing for sure!


That was a cool straw man but I still fail to see how closing discussion on arguably the most important issue facing the game is better in the long run.

The "discussion" was uncivilized, hateful, respectless, and ultimately pointless as everything that needed to be said was said. There was nothing wrong with closing that thread. The discussion ran its course far before the thread was closed.

I will now throw argumentative buzzwords at you! Straw man! Ad hominem! Logical fallacies! Wake up sheeple!

I mean, I guess those are good ways to keep a "discussion" going. :3


No actually he used a straw man. I can tell you about lots of threads on TL that have not much direction and heated internet arguments. That doesn't necessarily mean a discussion should not be happening, considering it's an exaggeration to say that every post was a circle jerk.

You complain about the thread being locked

I say why the thread was locked

For some reason you think this is a straw man

EDIT: Anyway yeah no Stephano isn't going to be on the list I'd wager


You repeated the exact same thing I had just responded to ("people were saying the same thing over and over"), and implied the only reason to keep the thread open would be to get "all the answers about matchfixing". Even though I just explained why I think the thread should be kept open, and it was not to "get all the answers about matchfixing". In other words, you responded to a straw man rather than what I actually said. You did not respond to my point that the importance of the issue in and of itself is the reason the thread should be kept open.

I'm surprised so many people are putting herO on their list. Don't get me wrong, he's amazing and has achieved some incredible things, but I just don't see how he is GOAT level. Not yet, anyways.

Surely, MC will end in top 3 despite him not being on manys top 3 in here. No, he's not as good as KeSPA-players right now, and has been sub-par for quite some time now, but the amount of money earned, tournaments won, and impact on the scene he has had can be matched by close to none. I'd say the only ones capable of challenging him on a list such as this are Mvp and NesTea.

The player who has reached the highest level of skill is undoubtedly Life, but that doesn't make him the greatest of all time. A perfect example is Mvp because relative to his competition, he dominated the most of any player in SC2, but obviously he'd get stomped if he played like he did in his prime now ('cause the skill of players have risen so much).

The same goes for Pelé and Maradona. They would get absolutely crushed by players like Messi and Ronaldo if they played at their prime at the same time, but they still dominated their respective era so much that they can be considered greatest of all times.

Top 3 will be MC, NesTea and Mvp with the latter being on top.

Decent analysis but I think you're vastly overrating Nestea and how long he was on top for, even at the beginning of 2012 he was already descending into mid level player status.

Top 5 will be Mvp, Life, MC, MMA and Taeja or Polt.

But what keeps Life from reaching top 3 in your opinion? Life is #2 in total earnings after MC and you yourself said he reached the highest skill of any player ever. Doesn't add up if you ask me <.<
