herO is a 6-time premier tournament winner, Solar is a 5-time premier tournament winner, Rogue is a 2-time world champion, 2 time Blizzcon round of 4, and 2 additional premier tournament champion, and none of them have made a GSL finals. Dark is not leagues above any of them in terms of overall performance if you put value in being the best player in the world at a specific time over consistently being good.

Taeja - 11 weekenders, 2 GSL ro4s

Solar - SSL 1st, SSL 2nd, SSL 3rd, 4 weekenders

Bomber - 4 weekenders

Polt - 7 weekenders, 1 GSL ro4

Rogue - 2x world champ, 2 weekenders

Serral - 1 world champ, 1 weekender

Dream - 2x SSL 2nd

herO - 5 weekenders, 1 SSL, 1 GSL ro4

I'd definitely put Dark ahead of any of those, with his 21 ro4+ finishes in what are almost all extremely stacked events. Including 4 GSL ro4s, 3 SSL finals (inc one win), and a blizzcon finals. Not to mention being almost always the best or second best zerg for like four years now.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Maybe Dark is more prepared for those Immortal Sentry all-ins, unlike Rogue in the Super Tournament

Are you guys seriously arguing that Taeja was somehow better than Dark? Are you stuchiu alts or just memeing or what? I can understand talking about herO or even Rogue, but I still consider Dark much better if taken over the span of his sc2 career.

Anyway, I hope that when the last GSL comes, the finals will be inno vs. dark.

dark is gonna get protossed. hurricane is in much, much, much better form than her0 and also probably has an incredible motivation to show the world he has what it takes to win it all. his practise and preparation will be insane.

Exactly. The correct answer is Serral.

No, it really isn't. Serral has won only 3 tournaments with major Korean representation. (Blizzcon, GSL vs. The World, and HomeStory Cup). That's a great argument for best non-Korean of all time but it is well below what a bunch of Koreans have accomplished.

I think it's definitely between Taeja or Dark

Wait, you can see the predictions before the result as a regular user?

Super Tournaments don't count as a GSL Code S, and if they did, then Dark wouldn't be on the list because he's been to a Super Tournament final.

If that's the metric you're using, Dark's a chump because he has only won a single tournament with major Korean representation (2016 SSL Season 1).

I think you're forgetting Clide.

Dark is the most consistent top player, always reaching top 4 and always losing by the narrowest margin. (unless its serral)

Dark has done well in countless other tournaments with Koreans. Serral has not.
Dark's offline record vs. South Korean players: 178-98

One win and what feels like a billion ro4/finals appearances in stacked events vastly outweighs two wins in my opinion.
