poll is tough to answer due to the vagueness of the question. if you look at it from the perspective that progamers are always getting better so therefore whoever is dominating right now should get the vote then i guess i would vote for bisu or flash.

however i'm looking at it holistically. who is the most successful progamer? who is the winningest progamer? who is ALWAYS a competitor and also qualifies for starleagues (with the rare exception of a couple seasons) since 2002? who is the player who came back from a complete slump into a full-blown comeback winning an OSL, getting 2nd in the next OSL and then winning shinhan masters?

to me the choice is simple.

nada.

When there's no context,
Boxer gets my autovote.
Best player evarrr.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

I did vote Nada, but I think there's a solid argument for everyone on the list except maybe Jaedong

Man...This is hard to answer.

Best relative to his competition at a certain point? Iloveoov
Best record and most achievements? Nada
Most important and most revolutionary? Boxer
Best skill-wise (as in, if you took any player in their prime and matched them up)? Either Jaedong, Flash, or Bisu... The skill level now is higher than ever.
The most flawless relative to what we knew about Starcraft at the time? Savior

¬¬ Obvious question is obvious. Boxer would rip off everyone else's ball of using his left foot.

"Best" is really vague...I'm picking BoxeR for his contributions to the proscene.

you could argue that leaving it vague and allowing the voter to interpret his own meaning of "best" leads to more accurate and interesting results

A short history of NaDa in KeSPA:

Obtained #1 KeSPA ranking in april 2003 and held it until august 2004 when he was usurped by iloveoov. Dropped to #3 in November when Xellos took over his #2 spot. After that, he went between #3 and #6 until February 2006 when he dropped from #4 in January all the way to #12. After dropping a bit more he wormed his way back into the top 10 at #9 for August 2006 and took over the #1 spot again in December 2006. Savior took him down to #2 in the following month, he stayed strong at #2 until July when that scheming bastard Bisu dropped him to #3. Dropped to #6 in August, dropped out of top 10 again in December 2007. Reobtained #10 ranking in June 2008. This month represents the first time since February 2002 that NaDa has not been in the top 20 of KeSPA.
My vote goes to Nada.
