hi,
so there is this category on wikimedia commons (which is basically a library for images and videos all the different wikipedia versions can use, all of them under free licences) called "Unidentified StarCraft players" which is a sub-category of "StarCraft players".
Me and another user called pbrks already took care of a lot of the "easier cases" so we are down to 113 (edit: 25) pictures with (at least one) unidentified player at the moment and i thought this board might be able to help us lower this number even more, so if youre able to help please leave me a comment here.
thanks.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_1_-_19.jpg - That's Tilea in the middle. Fairly sure that's binski on the right but not 100%, either way they're all on Team LighT.

Well, first I like to thank you for saving me of what could have been a productive Sunday morning. Here's where I'm at. In black the one I'm doubtful about.
1- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2011_MLG_Dallas_2.jpg: On the forefront it's Kiwikaki, and I'm 90% sure on the other player is Huk (confirm by Wombat)
2- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2012_GSL_Season_5_Semifinals_-_09.jpg: I'm kind of stumped on this one, the startale jersey maybe is a wrong clue. If it's in fact at IPL 5, then it's either a coach or someone not on Startale.
3- https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/90/2012_GSL_Season_5_Semifinals_-_13.jpg MC and I believe TL.Sea? About 50% sure on that one
4- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2012_GSL_Season_5_Semifinals_-_15.jpg : No clue
5- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2012_GSL_Season_5_Semifinals_-_16.jpg : ItmeJP and Livipink (edited tks)
6- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2012_GSL_Season_5_Semifinals_-_17.jpg : From left to right, forefront only.
Trimaster, I recognize the face but I can't place it..maybe Xigua?, TheStC, Golden, in the back I think GanZi, then finally Sasquatch
7- https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/2012_GSL_World_Championship_-_26.jpg : Creator 100%, you can see he has the same glasse in his introduction video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e_5NWbmT6Q)
8- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_1_-_04.jpg : Alright so follow me here, the picture comes from this TL tread : https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/379767-mlg-dallas-day-1-photos. In this tread, we can find a comment saying, and I quote ''hahaha cheeseheadlogic living up to the name''. So with that, I say this is not a proplayer but instead Daniil ''cheeseheadlogic'' Pauley aka Cheddarbear, looks like him too.
9- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_1_-_14.jpg : I'm with Tempest, looks like a young Slasher
10- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_1_-_16.jpg : My best guest would be San? But I'm not sure, the lack of a team jacket goes in his favor since he was teamless at that tournament
11- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_1_-_19.jpg : From left to right. First, this is a shot in the dark but maybe, just mayyybeee Heavens (reasoning, he's from Light, he's American as per the flag on his sleeve, he's clearly not Caliber and the only other Light US player had that tournament seems to be Heaven, only problem it doesn't really look like him, then Tilea and binski.
12- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_1_-_34.jpg: No idea. The hearing tell me DdoRo, but that's not him and I can't place the jersey
13- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_1_-_41.jpg : Cheeseheadlogic and someone from Dignitas management maybe?
14- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_2_-_07.jpg : 80% sure that's DdoRo, you can see the hearing on the right hear
15- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_2_-_28.jpg : No clue
16- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_2_-_39.jpg : No clue
17 - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_2_-_41.jpg : Middle one is San I think, I'm sure I know the other 2 but can't place them.
18 - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_2_-_44.jpg : Thundertoss on the left and Clutch on the right
19- https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_2_-_52.jpg : vVv Glon
20 - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_2_-_56.jpg : I think it's san
21- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_2_-_59.jpg : No clues
22- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_2_-_70.jpg : Tempest might be on something with Caliber? The hair doesn't match, but you can kind of see red-hair eyebrows, so maybe it's just the lighting or he had his hair dyed black. Edit: confirmed it's Caliber, there's a picture of him here:  LighT eSports
23- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Fall_Championship_Day_2_-_76.jpg : No clues
24- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Spring_Championship_(2).jpg : Almost certain it's MC, you can see picture here where he has the sames glasses : https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/343335-mlg-spring-championship-day-1-photos
25- https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/343805-mlg-spring-championship-day-2-photos : I don't know, but it's a zoom in of that a picture from here : https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/343805-mlg-spring-championship-day-2-photos if that help someone
26: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Summer_Championship_Day_1_-_17.jpg : Could be wrong, but I think that's just some random people. Never heard of any ''Team GHST'' in Starcraft
27- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Unidentified_StarCraft_players#/media/File:2012_MLG_Summer_Championship_Day_1_-_23.jpg : Tilea at the bottom, the other one is KawaiiRice
I'll continue this later, this is a fun treasure hunt.
