I can't help but see the bias in this list, so hard.

gotta say after 2016, Neeb has to be in this top 5. I wonder how long it will take to get another list like this, or if the game will be dead when the time comes and another list needs to be made

looking at it now i would still have stephano as #1 for sure...with Scarlett moving up to maybe 3rd place?

always love articles like these though even if they are biased sometimes....they're always interesting to read.

neeb only made his strides after region locking and the overall skill declined. he might deserve to be on the list but definitely not in the top 5 based on 2016 alone which was the least competitive year in starcraft history.

But Neeb has by far the biggest result any foreigner has ever done with his KesPa Cup win.
That alone puts him at rank 5 over Scarlett imo because that win was just so massive.
And 2016 was definitely not the least competitive year, 2010-2012 were way less competitive because KesPa players didn't switch over yet.

Neeb was also decent during the HOTS WCS era while playing terran. I think he made it to the offline matches a couple of times.

The evidence is mounting that Neeb should make the top 5.

No, it isn't. You can read the criteria here: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/482944-the-process-of-creating-the-top-15-greatest-list

I don't give a fuck how big the prize pool is.

No it's is not what?

I said mounting, not has reserved his right and that does not take anything away from neeb's ever growing achievements.

I don't know how you can just discard it so casually. He's still achieving at the highest level.

Unless of course, your idea of context virtually makes it impossible for anyone post 2015 era to make you lists.
Then i unhappily stand corrected.

Well I guess we'll have to just agree to disagree.

I say there's an ever growing case here, you say with absolution it isn't.

Don't think think we'll get anywhere with it.

Nerchio has had a similar year as Neeb in 2016, and Nerchios historial results are far better than Nerchio.

And no going through an easy bracket in Kespa cup is not as big of an accomplishment as you make it out to be.

beating stats and trap in PvP is quite an achievement if you ask me.

Agreed, Neeb should be on the list whatever his rank is. Typical TL mod bias unfortunately.

Yea Neeb is great, kespa cup was a big deal.

But those guys have a list of notable results, Neeb probably deserves a top 15 spot, but top 5 is way too much.
At least he is amongst the few active players, and in good form, so his rank can go up while we still have top koreans to make those tournaments GOAT worthy.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

From my point of view, you're the one casually discarding everything that every foreigner ever did before this.
