Players You Think Are Underrated

DeMusliM has sparks of brilliance, and he's very consistent.
SjoW again, very consistent, always one to watch.
And I would have said thorzain, as I love the guy, but he's gotten more hype since the TSL.

Hands down the most underrated player is HongUn. He's not flashy and can even look sloppy from time to time, so people hate on him all the time. But he has tremendous gamesense, can play a lot of different styles and his consistency is amazing.

He's never once dropped to Code A. He's made a semifinal and a Ro8 and always wins at least a couple matches, even while injured. Along the way he became the first GSL player to make Carriers, and had that awesome "Great Wall of HongUn" game where he spammed mass buildings to hold off Roaches while his Voids charged up.

Haters gonna Hate, but HongUn is arguably the 2nd best Korean Protoss--not as flashy as Puzzle but so far he's done more than Puzzle has, and aside from one Blizzcon win Genius has never won much in GSL with consistency.

Atm. the most underrated player (cuz he didn't really participate in any big events recently) is Luficron. He actually plays on another level right now than basically all other Non-Korean Terrans. Just watch his latest games against Stephano (totally crushed him with insane Drophsip+Hellion-Micro that I've never seen like that before and perfect game-sense and Macro) and Nerchio, which he both defeated pretty handily, although they are the best Zergs in EU atm and are considered Terran-Killers.

He also defeated a very good Protoss (If I remember correctly, it was MaNa, also one of the best Non-Korean SC2-Players out there) in very long and impressive Macro-games, which are considered MaNa's strength against Terran.

In that Tournament he played, there where other Terrans like SjoW and Strelok, and although Strelok got into the semi's and SjoW into the Finals, watching them was like watching Bronze-League compared to Lucifron's games.

I would say (Z)

XlorD, we don't see him a lot in tournaments but if he participates he often shows great perfomances against top players, in the last two months he has beaten players like MaNa, Beastyqt, Tyler, DeMusliM, SaSe, Haypr0, SarenS, NightEnd, Machine, Happy, ...

When I saw the Shakuras Plateau, Trickster v DongRaeGu, I become a Trickster fan.

He amassed Voidrays, and then when DRG went Hydras, Trickster went I think speed Zealot and Archon.

Absolutely dismantled him. What I saw there was genius.

Trickster isn't THAT good of a player, but he has flashes of brilliance which make my hair stand on end.

Also, even though Coca is Code S, he's overshadowed by DRG, especially thinking about Korean zergs. Though I feel he's twice the player DRG is, so yes I also think Coca is underrated.

Artosis???

Are there any televised games for him beyond the fiasco that was NASL season 1. Oh, and is he still playing competitively? I haven't seen his name in any qualifiers or anything.
