Now that  Jaedong,  Flash and  Bisu have lost their most recent game, I think it's a good time to consider what the next generation of great players may look like.
Who is it going to be? A few names immediately come up, the most obvious one being sKyHigh, who hasn't lost the momentum he gained from all killing OZ. However other than that it's hard to tell, especially for the zerg where I personally can't picture any zerg ever winning against Jaedong, but past trends show that it must one day happen, just as iloveoov started losing to zerg.
If there is time for another generation of great players to emerge before the release of Starcraft II, which names do you think could make up that next generation?
ANTI CONFUSION EDIT:
I'm deleting a paragraph in the OP that probably contributed to the confusion.
I'm not saying that the top players aren't the top players cause they dropped a game in proleauge. They are still the top players. They won't be forever though, and this topic is about what will happen when they'll fall. It's not saying "they're falling, who will replace them." I'm not saying the top players are all falling now, I'm saying they'll eventually fall and people will eventually rise up to replace them and this topic is speculating over who those players might be.

I seriously doubt any of the new players will win next starleague. Jaedong is still really fucking scary, and probably the strongest player out there. Flash and Bisu are going strong, and Luxury, Jangbi and Stork are still extremely strong contenders that I doubt skyhigh and the other new generation chums would really stand a chance against in BO#'s.

Hwaseung Oz has a nice crop of Zerg players coming up. PirateZerg has been showing some ferocious ZvZ, and I just can't picture MustacheZerg losing any of his games.
In all seriousness, recent results aside, I think the TaekDong era is far from over.

It's way too early to say that Jaedong, Bisu, and Flash are done.
Nevertheless: Leta

I dont see a young super star coming up. Bisu won his MSL duo when he was so young, Flash dominated the same way, JD is just so consistent. But I feel Tazza is champion material
and btw isnt leta the same age as jd/bisu ? I guess he just showed up pretty late, rather than being young and promising, same case with BeSt

just because Jaedong dropped two proleague games doesn't mean he is on the decline. Both he and Bisu are still scary good, both of them are still solidly the top players of their respective races.
Flash is a little more iffy though, if he continues to fail in individual leagues he may lose his place as top Terran, if he hasn't lost it already. Skyhigh is on a wicked streak, he just needs to prove himself in a starleague. Fantasy is a good contender to if he can keep up the level of play he has been showing
