It was the VERY FIRST GSL, when the meta was just pure cheese and the maps were so against Zerg that even BitByBit and Trickster made deep tournament runs. There, and the macro legacy, made FD a creditor for a space on this list. And by the way, Nestea was the only good Zerg around that time after FD. And that's because Blizzard buffed the roach and a bunch of other adjustments that made Zerg more viable to play at high-levels. | ||

My top 10 in no particular order Mvp Life Taeja Innovation Parting sOs Polt Nestea MC Zest Rain did define the Protoss meta game like few others, particulary in PvP. So despite him not being the winningest player, he has something going for him. | ||

 xD but in all seriousness, i think best of all time must be Mvp. After that, give it to Life, MC, MMA, or even Polt, for consistency during all these years. | ||

Couldn't you argue that Destiny defined the Zerg meta game in WoL with his infestor play? I'm not saying Rain is bad, he's just overrated in my opinion. | ||

Also looking at the criteria of how they judge tournament in paragraph 2 of the forward, the very first GSL is probably considered the very weakest , hence the least significant. | ||
