Hyuk, hands down:-p Skyhigh for second. The rest are all players capable of exceptional plays from time to time, while I dont see anything exceptional in these two. (though I hate Effort, I must admit he is scary decent, might be something big? Hope not though:-p)

Zero gets way more hype than he deserves just because he was the first Stars player other than free to not be completely terrible.

Hyuk, for sure, unless of course, he can keep winning with consistency, then I'll take it all back.

Fantasy isn't overrated! 2 OSL finals appearances is a really nice achievement, and a heck of a lot more than the other players here have done.

Fantasy was good because of innovative strats - same thing with Leta's TvZ, once they got worked out they no longer own that much. But still Fantasy has something to back his strategies with, you can't give some cool strats to some D- noob and expect him to win vs Flash or w/e

I don't really understand where all the hype for Hyuk comes from. He did improve quite a bit indeed, but he's not great yet, we'll see in a couple of months I guess.
My vote goes to Skyhigh though. He was pretty much in Hyuk's position a few months ago and now is just .. not good.

Leta; very creative, but he isn't able to perform against better players. I don't think Hyuk should even be on this list, as the "being awesome at sc" is very new to him - give the kid a chance to live up to your expectations.

Definitely Leta.

Everyone's so hyped about Leta's amazing mechanincs and his amazing solid play but he's still nothing more than a good proleague player. I've always been skeptical about him and actually all prodigies and I have been right up till now. If he didn't win a league these seasons he was actually really solid in PL, I think there's little chances he'll win one at all.
SonuvBob: Yes, the majority of TL is college-aged, and thus clearly stupid.

I don't really think Hyuk is that hyped. The hype for him is not really in a very serious manner. It still seems to be partly a "lolomg, somebody lost to Hyuk" joke.

I feel like Leta gets too much hype. He's ok, but he's not amazing, and I don't feel as if he can play a good standard game vs other highly ranked players. He's just good with weird creative builds.

Hyuk is currently playing better but he isn't really considered anyone special so I don't think he's overhyped. Fantasy, skyhigh, effort and even zero are not overhyped IMO.

Easily Sky high followed by Hyuk and Leta

All though I agree with the previous poster that Hyuked is more of a joke that someone lost to a T1 zerg, even though many people have been Hyuked recently :>

Zero and effort should not be on that list... Zero deserves more hype. The kid is a monster
