I assembled a list of some unique achievements in progaming which could be called 'Wonders'. Maybe I forgot something, maybe some of them should not be called 'Wonders', but I think that such a list can be interesting for fans.
To find out which of these 'Wonders' are more wonderful I decided to list them in the following poll.
Poll: Which of these 'Wonders of Progaming' is more wonderful?
(Vote): The only protoss to win 2 OSLs (Garimto)
(Vote): 3 consequent OSL finals with two consequent victories (Boxer)
(Vote): The only foreigner to win a Korean individual league (Grrrr...)
(Vote): Longest streak at the 1st place in KeSPA Rankings (17 monthes, Boxer)
(Vote): Longest streak in TOP 30 of KeSPA Rankings (87 monthes, NaDa)
(Vote): 27-0 streak in TvZ (iloveoov)
(Vote): 16-0 winning streak in TV games (GoRush)
(Vote): 17-0 streak in PvP (Best)
(Vote): The youngest age of TV win (13 years, 2 monthes and 17 days, Baby)
(Vote): The youngest OSL champion (15 years, 8 monthes and 10 days, Flash)
(Vote): One player dominance (92,19% over 3rd place in KeSPA Rankings, Savior)
(Vote): Absolute ZvZ dominance (82-24, 77.36%, Jaedong)
Upd: When you think about Savior's dominance, please, think about it as '5 straight MSL finals, 3 victories (savior)'. It would better reflect his wonder

oov's 27-0 TvZ
It was simply unthinkable to pull something like that off at the time.
Giyom's isn't THAT impressive, because it was during at time where foreigners were pretty much equivalent skill level to Koreans.
If he won today though, it would be a completely different story.

27-0 is pretty impressive but I think the long-term absolute stranglehold Jaedong has over ZvZ is more amazing. It's one thing to be fucking amazing but it's another to be fucking amazing in over 100 games

This pretty much sums it all up. Grrr... won when it was a fairly level playing field, before kids were growing up with the game. If you figure a kid was 7 when SC came out, he was 10-12 when it first hit popularity, and his life could legitimately revolve around aspiring to become a pro, just like American football. Figure they are now 18-20 (Read: Jaedong's age). Now winning an OSL/MSL even GOM would be fucking impressive.
oov went on a 27 game winstreak in a matchup, something that will never happen again.

NaDa is a true champion in SC and in RL if you have read the story about his father dieing in a car accident and what a fighter NaDa is...and um have you seen his biceps lately? I want to see him armwrestle Daniel Lee lol ^___^

can you add
"Orion beating Jaedong in JvZ"
|
Oov by far. 27-0 is like Cal Ripkens consecutive game streak; it will never be broken.

1) oov
2) savior
3) boxer
4) nada
5) jaedong

hard to compare some of these, even though nadas consistency is epic, I'll still go for oov. 27-0 just shouldn't be possible in progaming.
Really nice poll!

Absolute ZvZ dominance (82-24, 77.36%, Jaedong)
His peak is well over 80% which he had just few week ago.
Z=Z, T>Z especially pre muta abuse
~90 games sample vs 27 games sample
ZvZ = is still thought to be a rock-paper-scissors mu with bo wins all the time.
JD's ZvZ is easily the most impressive thing other than the career achievement of Nada.

As I can see now, 2 OSLs victories of Garimto is not wonderful at all...

Nada ez.
He is just the coolest, most genius, well-rounded player ever to grace the world of Starcraft.

Yes, it is quite impressive and maybe it would be better to replace the 'One player dominance' by this description of Savior.
