I guess it's a vote for your favorite player type of poll, just like a lot of others, where the poll question doesn't actually have anything to do with the reasons people vote for certain players
I'll call Nada.

Rather, its who would win a tournament consisting of all the players in that poll.

As I understand this poll it is about "What would happen if the most dominant players of broodwar would play in a single tournament, everyone with the abilities he had while on his peak". Still I do not see how this poll is interesting: I would assume that it is commonly assented that the level of play has risen considerably during the last years, so the average level nowadays is higher than before. Thus I do not see how a 2001 Boxer would be able to defeat a 2007 Bisu or 2006 Savior.

-_- @ Boxer voters. What's he going to do, lockdown Bisu's Arbiters while his whole base gets run down by a massive army? Or destroy a Zerg's one hatchery with his "pimp" micro, while he's forced to lift his buildings since the swarm is razing his base?


No matter what the question is, as long as Boxer is one of the answers he will win. Goes without saying who I voted on btw =)

You have to be more clear with these boneheaded poll voters. Don't say "Time Machine Tournament Winner?", say "OK, so, click on the person who you think is most likely to win a hypothetical tournament between these players in their peak years, NOT the person who is your favorite on the list"

Otherwise, you'll always get this or reach if boxer isn't there, no matter what the poll is about :/

If we take into consideration that the play level now is astronomically advanced compared to that during 2001, only Savior and Bisu would be contenders for this poll.

Otherwise with "inflation", for me its Nal_rA in his prime because he is the only player in the list who had no one who you could pair up as a "rival". rA's dominance is unique because he won through playing like no one had before, which is why for a period no one could counter it. Every other player during their 'peak' still had a rival that could match them head to toe.

rofl. 2001 boxer would not even qualify.

srsly

if you went back and read the tourney threads from the old days, the amount of boxer fanboyism was either cute or excessive and obnoxious. sorry guys, but boxer is no good. the blind fanboyism is an impairment, making one unable to appreciate the true shifts in the game, and give new players some bad rap. if you are nostalgic, get nostalgic over phases of the game, like any other mature sports fan. if we do not share your bias, your biased remarks appear ridiculous and sometimes idiotic, rather than cute or sympathetic.

Boxer has possibly the lowest skill level at his dominance comparing to other players at their dominant time. But hes Boxer so....

I read this poll as "players in their peak"

not as "players in their peak using only skills they learned from their time period"


ie. everyone on this list has about a month to practice before the tournament (a la Dragon Ball)

because of this, I believe boxer would destroy everyone on this list.

Exactly my thought and my reason going for rA on this poll.
