I hope Life. Anyways, I'm beginning to agree more and more with the list, only thing off for me is Rain's position and the lack of Parting in a top 15.


Parting and sOs not being on when both of them owned Starcraft 2 for periods of time is just incorrect

sOs never owned Starcraft haha. He did well in GSL season 1 2013. Then he won Blizzcon and got 2nd at Red Bull. Then a few months later he won IEM.

Whether Taeja deserves to be 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, the most jarring thing about the criteria is not having a separate tier for the hardest tourneys. Equating a regular IEM or DH, Blizzard tier or not, with a GSL just feels wrong.

The liquid bias is disgusting, everyone knows that gumibear is far superior to taeja.

And no emperor of China billowy, Taeja can't claim dominion over a billion people homestory cup got nothing on that.

Yeah I can't help thinking that GSL should have been a tier on its own.

Taeja top 3 without a single korean title, totally undeserved imho

Hoping for Life top 1


Taeja's still good, just overhyped on liquid because it is their horse. There's never been a period in Starcraft where taeja was the defacto best player in the world like how life is now, or how innovation was in early HotS. He won a few dreamhacks where only he and hyun were the only players ever in the GSL, big deal.

but remember, the list is not about "the greatest players of all time", even though its titled "the greatest players of all time".

Another thing to keep in mind is the tiering of tournaments. A basic guideline is Blizzcons(Only 2013+) > GSL > OSL/SSL/Kespa Cup/WCS (2012 KR)/WCG KR/Blizzcon 2011 > International Tournaments.

Mvp through the middle of 2011, Life between October 2012 and March 2013, Innovation between ~April and ~August 2013 are the ones that stand out to me. Arguments to be made for MC, Taeja, DRG and Zest.

I thought that you might put Taeja at #2 so it's not as bad as I thought. I probably would have put him before NesTea if I were making the list personally.
Life has won two GSLs and a Blizzard Cup. NOT three GSLs.
