It doesn't imply that these are the greatest players that will ever be (Mvp is commonly referred to as the GOAT), only that these are the greatest players to have touched the game thus far. GOAT rankings aren't and shouldn't be exclusive to games no longer being played professionally, I think. | ||

I first put him on the list, but on second ththought, looking at the intro : -did he play in a time with increased talent pool? Yes, like Maru. -did he dictate the meta and refine strategies? Yes, but nothing too groundbreaking. -did he stay consistent as opposed to peak/clutch? No, like Maru. -did his success happen when his race was weak? Hell no, as opposed to Maru. -how does his success rate in terms of prestige? Well a GSL win and a second place isn't too bad, sure, but that's all he's got since PL is apparently not taken into account. Meanwhile Maru has an OSL, several good performances in GSL when Terrans were weak, and a NSSL. INnoVation also did worse than Maru at BlizzCon 2013. So yeah to me INno making the top10 while Maru doesn't would feel strange. If anything the lack of PartinG on my list is more shocking d: | ||

That's a pretty bold statement, imo, especially what he did in his prime on SlayerS AND what he's done thus far on Team Acer. No one expected a Ro4 finish for the first GSL he had been back in over 2 years. 10. Zest 9. PartinG 8. Polt 7. Innovation 6. MC 5. MMA 4. Taeja 3. Nestea 2. Life 1. Mvp I don't think Life can dispute Mvp's stance as #1, yet. Unless Life goes on to win a few more GSL's in dominant fashion. | ||

Yeah, replaced PartinG with MMA. iunno they both belong there but I bet Stephano will be on top 10 too | ||

If all we do is judge people by # of gsl titels then an article like this isn't really needed. We'd just go on liquipedia. | ||

My problem with this list is probably that it will include people like MK and Nestea who are long past their primes and got their achievements in comparatively easy environments.. Also soO already so low... | ||
