2. Nestea : no contest 3. MC : lost quite a few maps recently but still the best toss outta there 4. MKP : been struggling a bit but his micro,mobility & fresh builds are still enough to rape noobs 5. Byun : his code A & teamleagues games prove himself to be a truly Code S terran, and theres still much room to improve 6. Jinro : doesnt amaze me but he definitely has the safest play and his previous gsl is impressive 7. Squirtle : dude surely evolves alot, watch his GSTL games for more info 8. TOP : code A top1 9. IdrA: his macro game is cool and all but I guess future opponents wont let the game pass 15 mins mark 10. NaDa: seems to lack something to compete with the best (aka top4) but still played brilliantly against the rest. *Close but no cigar: Clide: played many epic games & lost most of them] FD, Tester, July: love to see u guys' games but still too fragile Bomber : so few appearances and not made to code A, had he beat mvp I would place him in #10 StC : having followed his gisado & ladder games closely, he will be #1 when he left the army | ||

1. IMMVP (after crushing GSL4 and all of those online tournaments in korea, pretty sure he's the man to beat) 2. IMNestea 2. oGsMC (I made a tie here because I don't think they've played quite enough yet to say who is better overall. Each basically tore up in various respects: MC was killing PvT for a long time, Nestea is a BEAST of zvz, both got a championship, etc. I have to give nestea the slight edge because he seems like a more long-term focused player, whereas MC relied a lot on really really crisp attack builds) 4. Marineking (I think his stylistic play will cost him wins in the long run since people have focused on it a lot, like it cost kyrix when he used 2 base high econ aggro over and over. Still, his micro is sublime and his decision making in end-game scenarios is uncanny). 5. Jinro (two top 4's in the two hardest seasons is quite an impressive feat. Moreover, he didn't get there with gimmicky play, but with solid play. This means that I think he's got more skill throughout the whole spectrum of possible games, whereas someone like Rain was only good at rushing.) 6. IdrA (He's pretty good - I think he could be in the 10th-15th slots also. I think once he solidifies his play against cheesy rushes and learns to tilt less, maybe he will go farther?) 7. Duckload! (he's been just crushing in foreign tournaments, so I have to give it to him. I absolutely think the foreign scene can take down the Korean scene right now, so he's got to be on this list) Don't know who else deserves to go up...I'm not a fan of throwing on as-yet-unproven IM players or ST players just because they did well in a tournament one time. People have good days, other people have bad days, you get lucky on builds, etc. | ||

IMmvp - Self explanatory, this guy is on a completely different level. oGsTheStC - A lot of people still have no idea who this guy is, but they will after May 22nd. This guy is an absolute monster and I would almost put him in the same category as MVP. He has undoubtedly the best dropship multitasking I have ever seen in any player. He was by far the best Terran out there for a while before MVP started tearing things up. Notable achievements include holding the record for the highest win streak (22 wins) on Gisado's KotH, as well as winning the recent FXOpen tournament. ST_Bomber - This guy nearly beat MVP (I think nerves got to him and he got careless which is why he lost) and was the most dominant player in the Zotac Team Invitational a few weeks ago, including an all-kill on oGs. oGsMC - I was on the MC bandwagon back when he got eliminated in the ro64 in GSL1, I had seen him play and I knew how good he really was back then. Then everyone else seemed to finally realize that after he won GSL3. ST_Squirtle - I've been a fan of this guy since I first saw him play in one of the earlier GSLs; he made some poor decisions which ultimately cost him but after seeing him play in the GSTL he has definitely improved exponentially and I hope he'll get code S soon. Probably toward the bottom end of my list if I had to actually order it but definitely deserves a spot imo. ZeNEXPuzzle - Bad games in the GSTL but he destroyed people in the Zotac Team Invitational recently, with one of his notable achievements being an all-kill on IM, including MVP, Losira, Yonghwa, and Yoda, and an all-kill on oGs, including Ensnare, Hyperdub, MC, and Cezanne. He's also consistently highly ranked on the ladder, so hopefully we get to see more from him in future GSL events. oGsTOP - I think people kind of overlooked him since he failed to qualify for GSL2 and 3, but he's always been incredibly good, and he 4-0'd MC in one tournament. Hopefully he'll show good results now that he's (rightfully) in code S. oGsNada - The best (or one of the best) macro Terrans. I hear he doesn't practice all that much so if he really put in the time he would be a beast; as it is he's still incredibly good. IMNestea - To be honest I was hesitant about even putting any Zergs on the list because I personally don't think any of them are really amazing in comparison to the top Terran and Protoss players. I don't even really care for Nestea's play, but he is very solid and without a doubt the best Zerg so I gave him a spot, plus his GSL results speak for themselves. MarineKingPrime - I was a little iffy about putting him on the list but I can't deny that he's been incredibly consistent with top finishes in tournaments he's played in, even if he does seem to suck in finals matches. Honorable Mentions: NsP_Genius, ZeNEXByun, Sanzenith (just kidding lol) Edit #2: Also just noting that I excluded IMYonghwa and IMSeed from my list because I unfortunately did not see their games in the GSTL and didn't think it to be fair to include them. | ||

Same situation for ogs top. He did well in one gsl and lost to fruitdealer, but that was the 1st and easiest gsl by far, and fruitdealer has really fallen off quite a bit as well since then too. Then after all that TLO. I wouldn't say TLO is a stronger player than WhiteRa or Sjow right now the way those two have been performing in recent times. The OP's list seems to be, 10 names I can think of right now, but I absolutely disagree that of the 10 best players in the world, 4 of them are foreigners, and only two of them have made it to the RO8 before. | ||

2. IMNestea - GSL2 winner and high finishes in every tournament since then. Best decision making in the world. He didn't get too many chances to play in the GSTL but with the new larger maps Nestea won't be dying to cheesy all-ins anymore. 3. oGsMC - Best performing protoss in the GSL. Fantastic micro and innovative style of play. Remains to be seen whether he can macro with the best of them. Has looked mortal as of late, even in his signature matchup PvT. 4. MarineKingPrime - Most unique style of the S class players in Korea. Micro is IMO the best in the world, even better than MVP's. People keep saying he'll drop off the map after his style is figured out, but I believe MKP has the raw skill and game sense to stay an elite player for a long time. 5. Jinro - Most solid terran player in the world. Guy has very few holes in his gameplay and almost never loses due to bad decisions or unnecessary mistakes (GSL match against check notwithstanding) 6. Idra - The macro zerg. If you don't play aggressively in the early to mid game you will get rolled over Idra's infinite armies. Only major weakness is his inability to deal with cheese. 7. Nada - Still a very solid player with great macro, but his decision making, at least in the GSLs, has disappointed. Don't ever count out a bonjwa though. 8. Fruitdealer - Despite his poor results post GSL3, I still believe FD has what it takes to be an elite player. Based on his interviews he seems to be lacking in motivation ever since his win in GSL1 but I could be reading too much into it. 9. TOP - Strong, consistent performer and winner of code A, but has not shown to have what it takes to mentioned in the same breath as the top players in the world 10. Squirtle - Possibly the new king of PvT especially after + Show Spoiler + beating MVP last night, which even MC failed to do Bottom half of the list could have gone in many directions. The gap between #7-10 and guys like Puzzle, Bomber, Seed, Byun, Tester, Genius, etc is miniscule. I made my list giving results in tournaments more weight than current form but it would not surprise me in the least to see people not even in code S on people's lists | ||

Other than that, I might move MarineKing down a few knotches as well because his marine rush is powerful but at the same time kind of cheesy. I just don't see any variety from him. | ||

2)Nestea- A GSL champion. his Decision making could be even better then MVP, Destoryed everyone a long the ways to the championship! one of only 2 players in the GSL to beat MKP. 3)MC-A GSL champion destoryed everything in his path. hes the top toss player in the world right now just wouldnt be right to not have him here. 4)MKP- Two time runner up in the biggest tournament in the world. plays his own style not to many people can say they do that. 5)Jinro- Been in the top 4 two times in a row, Has beaten one of the best tosses in the world in MC. Best overall non-korean. Won a MLG, was one of the first terran players to play a full game not just cheese. overall top 3 in the wrold when it comes to terran 6)Idra-Mlg champion, has been in all 4 GSl only getting better with each one. beaten almost everyone on this list that being said i dont think anyone can really say that :D 7)White-ra- nothing really needs to be sad here hes the oldest pro-gamer he can still hang with the young guys and since sc2 has come out hes won more tournements then any other player in the world so overall even if hes not in the korean seen hes a big theart to be dealt with in any tournament. Oh and hes got a wife too! 8)Fruitdealer-1st GSL CHAMPION! That cant be said enough he was the first royal roader was the first champion of many to come! that wont ever die as long as the game is around, 2nd in money made from Starcraft2. even though he hasnt done much lately what he did in GSL1 puts him on the top 10 list for now. 9)Seed although we cant really say anything about him because he hasnt made it to Code S with the big guns. From what i seen in GTSL he is a BEAST! with 2 teamates that are past champions i feel he well trun into a really good player we just have to wait and see i guess hehe 10)Huk first Mlg winner, although he hasnt done much lately i still feel like he has a good chance at getting into Code S round of 64 at least. he has some of the beast macro i have seen also was first player to get to 4000 ponits on the ladder and has been top 5 on each ladder. | ||

1) IMMvP (CURRENTLY! He's gained a lot of fame from winning GSL season 4. Before that I didn't even know who he was. But just watching him play I can see his Terran style is very solid. He is only the best right now because he is Terran. I'm not raging or anything but I'm saying that SC2 is unbalanced at the moment.) 2) Genius (The best protoss in my opinion. His micro is amazing, one of the most underrated starcraft players. Being a Protoss player myself i really enjoy is style of play.) 3) Tester (Almost the same level as Genius. His play is more of a macro-safe build order. He can execute, time and defend very well.) 4) FruitDealer (In my opinion he's a very capable player, and better than NesTea. He needs to improve fast and get used to how Starcraft is changing at such an amazing speed. His use of banelings is always entertaining to watch.) 5) NesTea (Very calm and collected Zerg player. Knows the right unit composition and when to expand or macro up. I think for a Zerg player that's the most key point. Knowing what you're opponent is going to counter it.) 6) MarineKing (The best marine control I've ever seen. He's not just some all-in starcraft player getting to the finals by luck. There's a reason why pros can't defend it although they've seen him do it countless times. He's young and has a lot to learn which makes him scarier.) 7) oGsMC (Solid Protoss playing. Really good at timing attacks and putting on early pressure.) 8) Kyrix (Good Zerg play. Goes for the early expand knowing that he can defend it. Goes for high economy banelings which many players cannot defend.) 9) oGsStC (Very good unknown player because he hasn't tried out for any GSLs. I'm not sure if he's the ninth best but his style of play is very strong. If he tried out for GSL I'm sure he would do well. He's also MC's practice partner.) 10) oGsNaDa (Back from SC1 his tank-style of play is very strong. He has the apm to control many units and should be included in the top 10.) | ||
