EPTAs an aside, I'd love it if there was an even bigger list or another one with different criteria. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all of these :D

Everyone knows taeja isn't top 3 or even top 10, it's just an opinion piece, its whatever | ||

Damn I was close, but high underestimation of Polt failed me. Still happy that i was correct about the abscence of Parting in this list. Yea not putting Parting is actually really impressive in retrospect. | ||

Yeah who cares if he has a crap ton of titles he never won in Korea with the big boys just a bunch of less competitive European events. I guess Homestory Cup and Dreamhack are more prestigious than GSL absurd you put a 2 time GSL champion behind Taeja MC is much better. Your "Criteria" makes no sense in this situation Taeja should be 6th or 5th at best this is just a joke and has destroyed the credibility of this article. He dedicated about half the TaeJa section to what you're complaining about. | ||

IPL 5 - 3rd - YoDa, Creator, loss to Leenock, Sniper, Bomber, loss to viOLet vs. GSL 2011 October - 1st - loss to Nestea, Happy, Mvp (Finals higher prestige) Iron Squid 1 - 1st - Jjakji, pre-Champion Life, loss to MaNa, aLive, Symbol You really think that 3rd at IPL 5 beats out a first in a GSL? Would like to hear more about this. Even the players MMA beat along the way are more impressive in my opinion, notably an Mvp in his prime at TvT. Honestly, I think WCS 2015 (which you said were unable to pair with anything, but doesn't add that much in terms of victories against top opponents) and IPL 5 is a reasonable matchup with GSL and Iron Squid. Furthermore, and I don't know if you addressed this anywhere, but your ranking seems to completely ignore team league results. Polt has essentially no results in this regard, while MMA was a team league monster at two seperate times (the driving force behind two GSTL wins and a big part of Acer's success in ATC. I think that easily pushes the comparison into MMA's favor. | ||

Yep the "HOLE" is you don't WIN a GSL you don't make top 5 that simple in my mind. Someone else already complained about it but putting Dreamhacks, and IEM's in the same boat as a GSL title is silly GSL needs to be its own tier and given more credit. So yeah following "his criteria" guess there isn't a hole and Taeja is properly placed but that still doesn't make it right at least imo. It is just silly cause if you ask any knowledgeable Starcraft player "Do you think Taeja is the 3rd best player ever?" I would venture to say 99% would say NO. He has 1 GSL top 4 finish in his life I'm sorry but I don't care how many IEM's,Dreamhacks, Homestory Cups, Asus ROG's you win if you don't win the hardest tournament you can't be top 5 all time. | ||

Can't really argue with his achievements. I am pretty sure a lot of the top 10 isn't as decorated as TaeJa. He was fairly dominate in 2013 into 2014 halfway. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/TaeJa#Achievements | ||
