sniper and seed are the most. jjakji is not as much forgotten since he moved to EU and started to be visible. RorO was the first KeSPA player to be really strong (4th in 2012 WCS Korea Nationals etc) and won the last WoL GSL. DRG is a legend. | ||

The Kespa switch changed the landscape completely. It's nostalgic to think of the WoL days before the Kespa invasion, but the truth is winning pre-Kespa GSL is easier than winning hotsix cup today or maybe even some of the more stacked iem today. How leenock winning mlg is tougher than sOs winning blizzcon, iem world and hotsix is beyond me. Top 3 of a race in 2012 is nothing compared to top 10 in 2015. | ||

Life, PartinG definitely, MC is kinda relevant, MMA is kinda relevant (GSL semifinalist but close to retiring), TaeJa was relevant until last year but is quasi-retired now, Polt is relevant albeit moreso in the foreign scene. Possible other candidates are INnoVation, Rain and Zest which are obviously relevant. Only Mvp and NesTea are obvious candidates that are obviously irrelevant. | ||

His best result (if i didn't miss something) after his last code s win was ro8 (two times). He was decent, not really strong though. This doesn't change the fact that he actually won code s three times, but you simply have to value these early code s titles A LOT less then the current ones. He should be in a top 15 list, but i am not sure if he should be in the upper half Top 8 in GSL is pretty dang good. Especially since one of those top 8s was a 2-3 loss to mvp while mvp was still in god mode. He also had his top 3 IPL4 run which was april 2012. That is still one of the most stacked international tournaments ever with nearly 40 koreans in attendance. He beat both the finalists in that tournament. It really seemed like he only lost due to fatigue in the end. I wish IPL4 had been a 4 day tournament. It definitely should have been considering all 3 days ended up being like 12+ hours long which is far too harsh on the players. I also think Nestea is slightly underrated because people forget just how many times he got blocked by mvp. In 2011 he lost to mvp 6 times. Only 2 of those were in finals (gainward and Blizzcon). If he had better bracket luck he probably would have made another finals. | ||
