I have a special place in my heart for Boxer and Yellow. I hope they dominate soon. I want a Boxer v Yellow GSL Code S final SO bad. Old school BW pro fanboy for life
These are not my favourite players as gamers but more of my favourite players to watch! I tend to like unorthodox players with crazy strategies cause it makes the games so much more fun.
Koreans
MKP - Crazy good micro, crazy good style.
LiquidHero - Love his multitasking style and use of warp prisims.
Losira - Super creative Zerg
Non-Koreans
demuslim - Hilarious player although super solid/abc hes my #1 favourite streamer to watch cause hes so entertainting.
kiwikaki - By far the coolest protoss who ever existed, my favourite protoss since day 1. Love how he uses motherships vs Ret/Sheth @ the MLG and BEATS them 2-1. So sick.
Stephano - Love his style.
SEA
OxygeN - The original 1 baser, way ahead of his time who 1 based vs every single race before it was even popular lol. The amount of effort he puts in to perfect his builds and timings is crazy and so fun to watch him execute.
Kowi My hero, love his original style, never been so impressed. Back when retail just launched he went like mass blink stalkers + mothership vs glade.. and WON!
iceiceice - The most unorthodox zerg and probably most talented player in SEA.
JesseTheKing - So much fun to watch. A character you will either love or hate depending on which side of his you are on lol!

You serious about the mothership part of kiwikaki? Time to look up the games
MMA - At the risk of sounding cliche, but his TvZ is just beautiful to watch. How I wish I could multitask like that... maybe one day.
MVP - Wasn't as big a fan as a lot of people because he seemed a little boring, despite his skill, but watching him absolutely dismantly DongRaeGu at MLG with just completely standard Terran play, and then watching his GSL finals against TOP (that game 1 was insane with the thor/ghost drop) I'm a big fan of his very mechanical style.
ThorZain - I love this kid so much. I love the way he plays it, so I steal his builds for TvP and there's a reason that matchup is 1-2 leagues higher in skill than my other two... :/
HuK - is a pretty beast player. Top 3 control makes holding 1 gate expands against heavy rax pressure look easy.
JYP - does some amazing things in PvZ especially, but every time I've seen him play it's been just a bit different to what other people do, and he's making it work big time right now.
There's not any zergs that I'm actually a big fan of (other than SEA players when they play anyone outside SEA, obv.) but in terms of skill, Nestea and DongRaeGu are probably my favourites to watch. And Stephano and Sen (and possibly Dimaga) for the best non-Korean Zerg players.
Thorzain plays too conservatively sometimes. When I watch him do that shit I keep yelling at him to just win the game before you drop something. There is such a thing as too cautious dammit!
I like any good terran with a self commentated stream so I can steal their builds. Demuslim, whilst he is English and that is unfortunate, does this so I really like his recent play.
My preferred player is TLO, just because he is a really nice guy and is very inventive. I prefer when he macro than when he does his crazy All-ins, though.
Toss - Huk/Hero, I watch them both quite a bit and love their play styles
Zerg - Spanishiwa/NesTea, Spanish has weird play styles while NesTea is actually from another planet.
Terran - MKP/TLO, I love watching MKP's amazing control and TLO's crazy inventive style.

I don't much like watching him play TvZ like he did in Code A... even though he won his first game, it was so slow :/ I just love his TvP like nothing else.
