LOL at people who have Rain on their top 10. The guy is good, but he's only won 3 tournaments. None of which were serious, long term events. (First ever OSL with half BW players who don't know how to play the game, WCS Asia Finals with literally Bo3 the entire tournament, Hot6ix Cup may have been the only notable win).

My top 10 in no particular order

Life
Taeja

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.

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.

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.

there, you said it yourself. literally anyone could make deep tournament runs. even fruitdealer, a nobody of not too remarkable skill. the people of that time that actually made multiple deep runs during that time and after that time, like marinekind, mvp, nestea and mc, are featured on the list or are certain to be listed.

You know what would be fun? Taeja best of all time

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.
