TL Progamer Fan Ranking

To Participate:
Make a list of your favorite 5 KOREAN progamers, and favorite 3 FOREIGNERS (Any Non-Korean) and post it to this thread. (Order does not matter, and just to clarify, Nony/IdrA/Grrrr... etc. will naturally be ranked as foreigners.) Each time a player's name appears in a list, he (or ToSsGirL) will get a point.

In case you're having trouble thinking of players, here's the TLPD/TSLD player lists: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/players/
http://www.teamliquid.net/tsld/players/

Guidelines:
1. Submit your favorite 5/3 only once please.
2. Please do not change your favorite 5/3 after you have posted.
3. Feel free to place obscure and retired players in your lists.
4. You may choose to ONLY list Foreigners, or ONLY list Koreans if you wish.
5. Any lists with more or less than 5/3 entries will NOT be added to the ranking.
6. Please do not make your list with the intention to alter the ranking. (Example: Top 5ing the progamer ranked 2nd, simply because you don't like who is in 1st.)

Updated through Kau on page 24 as of 12-5-08! Fun facts/stats fully updated as well!
Next update pending user response.

Thanks to Lemonwalrus for providing our latest update!!!
Updating this is no small task, so it was great of him to offer to help!

I need more fun facts/stats! PM or post them here!
If you're going to suggest fun facts/stats, BE SURE TO ONLY CONSIDER POSTS WHICH HAVE BEEN UPDATED INTO THE MAIN RANKING.

I've decided to add this because I've been getting some flak about this thread from a few people.

This poll is 100% logically accurate. That's not debatable. In order for something to be inaccurate, the method has to not match the result. It's not innacurate if you take the method into consideration. I intended to create a ranking BASED ON THE METHOD PRESENTED, and I have. It's accurate.

Example: It's a TRUE FACT that more people who have contributed to this thread would put UpMagic in their top 5 than Xellos. I'm not saying that UpMagic is universally better liked than Xellos, I'm simply saying that he appeared more often than Xellos in the top 5 lists of those who contributed to this thread. It's fact. I'm simply presenting data based upon the method. I'm not responsible for how you interpret that information.

Example #2: Yes, of course Tasteless would get a lot more votes if this was a commentator poll, but it's not a commentator poll. Once again, it's a TRUE FACT that he has appeared in LESS top 3 favorite foreigner lists than Chill or Artosis. This does not reflect his commentating skill, it simply reflects the number of people who have put each commentator in their list. Once again, I'm presenting data based on the method, how you interpret that data is up to you.

No hard feelings, and thanks for your participation.
