Which player who won a premier tournament in SC2 is most likely to be forgotten in the next 10 years?

For me, it's sniper.

Maybe I am totally mistaken, but I thought there was a reverse all kill in the GSL in the early years from a terran player. For some reason my head said it was Jakji, but I cannot find evidence to support that at all. It is too bad because I remember being kind of let down the finals were going to be another bust, and then the comeback was really good.

Not all premier tournaments, but for GSL only we have 31 different winners https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_StarCraft_II_League . Everyone with at least 2 wins seems pretty memorable to me, so people that have won 1 only, the list is:
ByuN
Cure
Dear
DongRaeGu
Fruitdealer
GuMiho
Jjakji
Polt
RorO
Seed
Sniper
sOs
Soulkey

Seed stands out to me. I didn't even know what race he played. Everyone else I at least have some vague memory of although Dear is also pretty unmemorable to me, but I could at least say that he was a Protoss.
Playing better than standard requires deviation. This divergence usually results in sub-standard play.

Now that I think about it: For me, the most forgettable champion in a Premier event ever is...Heromarine. Because I'm sure most people don't realize that Big Gabe never won a Premier event, never even was in the finals of one. You would think the guy that was at times the "best of the rest" would have at some point sneaked past Serral, Reynor and Clem...but no, he did not ._.

I never even heard of RorO and I watched a ton of sc2, how did I miss him completely, so for me since i've heard about all other players mentioned but never this guy, he's for me the most unknown

Personally biased but this is the best answer for me as he’s the only one mentioned so far that I absolutely did forget to the degree I had to Liquipedia him.

I genuinely blame casters for that one. They’d hype ‘Big Gabe’ up incessantly, way more than players like Showtime or Elazer who have won at least one.

Nerds like me knew it obviously, but I’m probably not super representative given I can (roughly) remember the tournament and timespan, or sometimes finals opponent of most of the names mentioned here.

For someone with slightly more of a life, one player is hyped to shit and others aren’t, the natural assumption is that guy’s the better player/had the better career.

I don’t even dislike Heromarine at all, but man it consistently annoyed the piss outta me. Pretty much the only caster bashing I’ve ever done was solely around that haha

RorO vs Symbol is probably the height of absurdity in StarCraft II. I can't help but cackle watching six minutes of brood lord vs brood lord goodness.



He was also mentioned in an article that came out two weeks ago
