Pure skill: Jaedong. Only player i've ever watched and thought, WOW how the fuck is he doing this? Most important: Boxer, obvious reasons. Most dominant: OOV. He didn't win, he just rolled. Right now: Flash. The kids rediculous. As starcraft at it's highest level at the moment he's probably the 'best' SC player. Most succesful: Nada. So many titles. So good for so long. Savior wins a prize for general all round goodness and Bisu gets nothing other than evils for stealing July's spot. | ||

I wanna stress though that greatest is closer in meaning to most profilic than best. Because greater can at least be applied to numerical values. For example: 2 is greater than 1. But is 2 better than 1?! Best means "most desirable". If Tossgirl was in this poll.... would she win?! Would the results be differen't if the question was "Greatest Player Ever" ? | ||

You're saying that being good now is worth more than being good in 2002, which is bullshit. You can still call Boxer the best because he was the best in a certain period of time. And there's no telling if Jaedong (if he played in 2002) would be able to match up against Boxer and Oov back in the day. Well it means a lot when Boxer has already admitted that his current "slump" form now is higher skill level than his prime self. The man has said it himself. So the old boxer would not win against current Flash or Jaedong. Definately likely seeing how everyone admits that the general level of starcraft has gone up | ||

in the old days, it was all about micro in many games, the players had so much minerals "in the bank", it was unbelievable now, it's more about macro of course micro does come in handy | ||

Greatest achievement as in winning most award or invented break through tactic? Skill as in micro and macro or winning consistently? I think Boxer has won enough of medal and created numerous tactic for marine against Pand Z. Like Dropship and 8 marine rush with SCV. Boxer micro was simply the best during his prime. Oov was strong in macro. Jaedong strong with muthalisk. As for present best performance, i vote for leta. | ||
