Come on !!!

fruitdealer won 1 tournament, and did nothing else. yes, it was the first big tournament win ever, but still he did nothing impressive afterwards.


The very first GSL was impressive in his own right.
And if you don't (or can't) remember, Zergs were underperforming back in the day. FD play at the very first GSL marked the concept of how Zerg should macro, even to this day. Expand, drone, expand, attack. Every Zerg play by that norm when they play macro.

i love how many people put sos in their top 10 when the article already established that sos is behind leenock on rank 16 by the smallest margin. soulkey is prolly rank 17. that or i overestimated one of my guys in the top 10.

Stephano deserves to be in there. His style was mimicked everywhere and abused to the max.

Why people keep mentioning sOs, if it's clear from Leenok's article, that he is not in the list?

Well, that's what I came up with:
10. Polt
9. Rain
8. Innovation
7. Nestea
6. Zest
5. MMA
4. MC
3. TaeJa
2. Mvp
1. Life

Decided Life/Mvp question with a coinflip =D

TL staff should make top15 best foreigners as well, I believe it'll cause even more drama.

After another coinflip decided to switch MMA and Nestea, cause their positions were the only ones(besides Life/Mvp) that I couldn't easily come up with.
Mess with the best or die like the rest.

and again, he won 1 tournament, then did jackshit after that. he never had another deep run. by that logic we shpould put seed in there, who won GSL after no protoss had won it for years. also the seocnd winner was nestea, another zerg. i dunno, but purely based on tournament wins we might have overestimated imbalances. the next 2 winners of the tournament were terran and protoss. terran dominance only started after the infancy phase of sc2.

I suppose the word "greatest" is rather subjective.

Nestea deserves top 5 for sure. 3 GSL wins (1 of which he won without dropping a game), 1 top 4. 3 top 8s. 3rd place at IPL4. 2nd place blizzcon. Nestea award etc. Even though he always lost to MVP he was one of the only players that could actually take games off him during his prime. If it wasn't for Nestea MVP would have for sure won a GSL without losing a game. Most of his achievements were while zerg was underpowered.

nice, can't wait to see the rest

my guess....

10 Parting Rain MarineKing (I actually feel like he should be lower but he wasn't in 15-11 so...)
9 NesTea
8 Zest
7 Polt
6 MC
5 Innovation
4 MMA
3 TaeJa
2 Mvp (gasp!)
1 Life

I also feel like Rain deserves a spot, too many good players
idk it's just a rough guess list
edit: just saw MarineKing is #11 lol
edit 2: Parting over Rain lol

Right in the sweet spot

But you're still silly for Inno above Polt. Or maybe even MMA

my favourite part was that marineking's article basically was "he sucks, he is dumb, wasted potential", then "he totes better than soo tho".

i kinda feel a discrepancy there. not that i disagree with the sentiment, but maybe he would've deserved to be palced lower.

Just because he could have achieved far more doesn't deduct from the results he had
