What do you base that on? I have nothing against the guy but you are overrating him highly. There at least 10 people who would go above him on any fair non-Korean zerg ranking.

Are u counting Sen as a korean u racist?:X
And imo Day was the 3rd best zerg.


I dunno man. Midian used to be very good. Before my time actually, but I remember that time in late 2007 when he came back from inactivity to smurf Nony when he was practicing for WCG.

People used to make strat forum threads here where they'd ask a zerg question and just go ahead and include his name in the title as well :p

He was before the time of a lot of the other top non korean zergs mentioned in this thread.Any reps you've seen of him from past like.. 07 i'd say was of him playing 2-3 games then logging off for like a year. I remember he was in dream.t) though ages ago and i had soooo many reps of him against pro's/semi pro's playing really gg's with them. I know I may be a bit biased cause he's my favourite non korean player easilyy, but he really was a beast back then.

No, not really. Every zerg mentioned in this thread (mondi, ret, sen) was already a top tier non-Korean before midian was really known.

Seeing old BW players come back to SC2 is always nice, even if I'm pretty much indifferent to him.

For me midian is second for many reasons while you may argue ret and sen posted better results etc ret didnt play zvz for the longest time. Then for me its personal preference between sen and midian.
Mondi midian ret then sen is probably my personal rankings for foreign zergs through the years

He smoked progamers like Jangbi and Dove in straight up macro games while practicing like 1/4th as much as they did. Definitely one of the best, if not the best, western zergs. His play was just super solid and mechanical, kind of a Savior jr. He was also a super cool dude and was a regular poster on the strategy forum for a while. But alas, poker, WoW, and some chubby Korean lady stole him away from teamliquid.

Midian was my favorite zerg after mondi. Glad to see him back. Funny thing was when I met him a month ago he said he wasn't going to play sc2 lol

he's dating susie. I know this because I stalk her day and night, not because I have a shallow knowledge of TL history.

I'm not sure why you threw in all the stuff about him as a person, but none of it has any bearing on the topic at hand.

There is no objective way to do a ranking like this, but as someone who has seen every good non-Korean zerg play since about 2001, I definitely wouldn't put him second or anywhere in the top 5. In my opinion, achievements must be factored in, and other than WCG UK I can't remember him winning anything worth mentioning. Aside from mondi, ret and sen, guys like testie (all his races rank in the top 10 among non-Koreans), blackman, tomson and f91 should be considered. Everyone can agree that midian was an extremely good player, but second greatest non-Korean zerg ever is a little much.
