MC to me is also top ten, he changed the way protoss is played and he still has the record for more gsl for a protoss player. soO doesnt belong in the top 10. | ||

He's the best midgame zerg, and arguably the best ZvZ, of all time. Making 4 GSL finals in a row, in an era where no one else even made back to back ro4s, is one of the biggest achievements in the games history. He was a better starleague player than anyone else except Maru. Some people only care about trophies, but if you care about achievements in any broader sense, he deserves the spot. | ||

 Definitely deserves a place. Getting to the finals so many times is a sign of great talent, even if he didn't get over the line. | ||

Its Zest or Dark. Hard Call. I think Zest is out though. | ||

He was only dominant for 2 years or so, and he still lost a ton in foreign tournaments etc. Just won a bunch of gsl's. Instead of posting this it would have been more honest for you to say "I never watched Mvp play and I am misinformed about his greatness." Read TL's article on him from the 2015 GOAT list and maybe you will understand. 4 GSLs, IEM, WCG, MLG, Blizzcon in 2 years is genuinely insane and also being such an innovator in terms of builds. | ||

That’s also why MMA beating mvp and achieving various other great things (like winning a premier in every extension) was kind of a big thing in WoL | ||

I think the top 6 was always set and should be pretty consistent across any GOAT list. soO and sOs falling in after makes sense and they have have something that's set them apart from the next tier. But beyond that for #9-20 I'd go Stats, Dark, TY, Rain, NesTea, Classic, MC, Taeja, Reynor, Trap, CJ herO, MMA, or something like that. You can really jig all those guys however you want without it being particularly outlandish | ||

He's probably the single greatest "good player of the game", in that his play passes every eye test, but he simply never got the results to match. I think that stats and trap are kinda in that bucket too though, so maybe not single greatest haha.Though I do think that mvp's reign at the top is kinda short, at only two years, and his "four GSLs" are boosted by the number of GSLs, he won 4/17 GSLs in a 1yr4mo spread... I wonder if there's any chance his relative lack of longevity kicks him out? But of course, he is part of THE sc2 experience for most longtime fans, so if we're making a list of the greatest players of all time (and not just the best / most dominant players), that X factor probably keeps him in the list. | ||

And imagine if Rogue somehow make it to the IEM Final against Oliveira, it would be a fucking massacre, not a magical fairy-tale, because thats what Rogue does to storyline. So yeah, anything outside of top 3 is straight-up bad imo, he could might as well be top 1 depending on how we value big time tournament performance. | ||

its not just about how many championships he won, its also about how dominant he was, how he changed the game, the builds he had, his macro, his micro, how great he was in big important matches, how smart he was, he was ahead of everyone, i was great to see him play back in the day. sadly his wrist and other injuries prevent him of winning more tournament and his career was cut short. but even with all those health issues, he was still dominant and doing crazy things. | ||
