I'm pretty sure a liquipedia template could be made for that. I'll try to ask someone from the mafia if they would create it. | ||

I don't even like Inno and it makes me fume Edit: On the topic, yes Rogue has to be in the top 10 now, as weird as that sounds. I'm a Rogue fan but it still feels so wrong to have a player win the Championship go yeah I was planning to take it easy and not play so much since I don't really feel the passion for the game anymore but heh well, guess I won huh | ||

Maybe not caring enough and playing fun builds you actually like delivers more than overpracticing and overthinking stuff. I believe that's what was behind the success of Parting/sOs/Maru. They play how they like, not how the meta dictates(unless, of course, they're dictating the meta  ) | ||

Specially because they never meet I understand what you mean but I strongly disagree. If the casters angle whoever advances as the strongest players ever that just makes SC2 seem cheap and fake. I would agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that it is these kinds of statements that shape the whole communities opinions. Not every SC2 fan will know the whole history of the game, not everyone will know the complete legacies of every player. The fact is the casters shape the communities perception to a big degree, if you believe majority vote/opinion decides who is the greatest and the commentators literally shape the public opinion..... Obviously ones or twice is not a problem but believe me if the commentators decided together they would call Maru/Serral the GOAT consequently for a year+ the community at large would think he is the GOAT even if they didn't before. I don't Think we should let the commentators shape the way we look at the players just because they themselves have an opinion and state it as a fact when it is actually very controversial. | ||

I don't think I'd place him above any of Maru, Inno, Life, soO, Stats, Zest, sOs, Dark, Mvp Maybe 10th tied with Classic. He has a few big wins but isn't consistent (not a lot of ro4 finishes compared to other players) and had success mostly in a weaker era | ||

His peak was as high as the mentioned player, or even the highest ever below Serral's. I would take Rogues career any day of the week from your list, even he is not as talented as Maru or Dark. I don't want to get into balance discussion, so just based on the facts. Rogue has never lost a final, while winning 2 IEM Katowice, 1 WCS Global final and also a GSL. These are the most competitive tourneys. He performs when the stakes are the highest. That is also a very important quality/talent. So in my eyes, Dark, Stats, soO cannot be placed above Rogue just based on their performances when it matters the most. Zest and sOs are as inconsistent as Rogue, so they definitely cannot be higher, with similar results. Inno however has never won IEM Katowice or WCS Global Finals, but he can be comparable to Rogue in terms of achievements, but his peak was never that high as Maru's or Darks. We need to appreciate and enjoy his longevity, however this quality alone does not make him the GOAT. Mvp is in between Rogue and Inno in terms of achievements, peak and longevity, but most of his results came in a much different era. Maru is the most talented from the list i think, however he underperforms too many times to call him the GOAT. He is the Peyton Manning of the SC2, while Rogue is Tom Brady. Who must not be named career was too short to call him the GOAT. | ||

That's in comparison to players who only really arrived during the, uh, most balanced period in SC2 history. | ||

From his time in PRIME, hes been great. That is also why Inno cant be goat imo. He was always insane when Terrans were strong, but struggled when his race did. Serral and Rogue also only started to be great when Zerg were clearly overpowered (even Rogue said it) Lastly, your metaphor about football shows that either you are clueless about the NFL,or you are clueless about Maru. Maru has won again and again and again at the highest level (4 gsl in a row not enough), won Proleague (one of the most prestigious competition in Korea), SSL, OSL and many more. Peyton was a god in seasons, but only won the SuperBowl twice, and his win with Denver, even I could have won since the defense did all the job. | ||

Maybe then you understand. | ||

What that doesnt't make any sense. Also saying their results are "similar" is too broad of a statement, Zest has many more trophies than Rogue, argueably just as valuable ones. Zest should be above them both if you ask me, if you want to say they have "similar" results please explain what you mean by that. While I agree Maru is the GOAT, he is not the undisputed GOAT, because that would mean there is no one else in the discussion, there is other players in the discussion and many posters disagree with Maru being the GOAT. You are underestimating Innovation a lot here, he is the clear number two after Maru and sure he mainly won Championships when terran was strong but he did not "struggle" when terran wasn't great, he struggled during those rare periods when terrans were noneexistent in RO8 and forward. SC2 is not filled with terran weak periods and terran strong periods, there are a lot of time when terran was just inbetween doing "okay" and Inno never delivered when the race was actually weak. Its the opposite of being only performing when the race is strong, he never delivered when the race was weak. Two very different things | ||

He, among all the GOAT contenders, was dominating much longer in the Kespa era, THE MOST COMPETITIVE ERA of SC2, do not argue with me on this if you watched the game from the beginning. To me only people who dominate in such era can be considered GOAT, and they are Inno, Life and Zest. From the three obviously Inno is the best in terms of achievement. Maru was also very good back then but his Kespa success was no where near Innovaion's. | ||
