Goswser fighting !

I agree with most of this ranking, seems quite accurate (not 100% but nothing really shocking) even if it's not based on real stats but pretty much on results and general feeling. You just made a typo on HuK's picture (you wrote -6 in place of +6).

I'm glad to see Goswser make the list. I expect him to start moving up in the next few months. He seems to be a solid rising talent.

And he rocks on HotS !

How do so many people think IdrA is overrated at 25? I think he's underrated there TBH. Hasn't done much recently because there hasn't been much to do other than IEM and Iron Squid but he's transitioning to HotS and his results before this period were good.

Naniwa 3rd? Dude hasn't even played in a tournament in ages, the last ones he did play in he lost badly.

I think this is a well put together list, it is really hard to find many faults with it.

That being said, I was just thinking what an overall sad state the Foreign scene in SC2 has become. Stephano is two notches above everyone else on that list and even he can't get playing time in Proleague or advance in the GSL.

By the time you get to double digits on the foreigner list, you're talking about people who CANNOT even make GM on the Korean ladder.

Foreigners need to step it up, otherwise Hots is going to flounder.....


I agree that Stephano is probably the best foreigner but honestly not advancing in GSL can't be something to judge someones skill level because GSL is so fucking hard. Look at who else didn't advance. MVP, Sniper (who won it last year), Hyun ( who got the runner up), Leenock ( who is on fire recently ).

And Ladder is basically meaningless, the GM ladder locks and sometimes there aren't spots available.

Yeh it's this dudes power ranking, his criteria , his opinion

Wow, EmpireHappy so underrated, that guy is a beast and he has 0 votes lol! He wipes most of top30.


When has he ever done well in a notable tournament?

Anyway, really hard month to do a ranking in. Unlike last month, I have no idea how good the various pros are. Not too many tournaments lately.

It's definitely possible, but it's still fair to rank Stephano higher since he's actually had a lot of first place victories in international tournaments. For all her skill, Scarlett hasn't really accomplished that much.

IdrA at 25? He 4-0d his group at WCS and took a game off a super hot Rain. People are just haters.

Indeed, he's achieved more than anyone from 11-30 except Thorzain and yet people vote him the most overrated.

I dont know, i dont agree with so many placings here that I dont take this ranking too seriously. Only one point that I would like to make is about Mana. He is the best foreigner protoss nowadays, why is he not recognized at all? I mean no.9 is really low for someone who has beat high level koreans and has two majors.

Really, Kas in the top 10? I hate to be rude, but he hasn't done squat in a long time. Yeah sure he has a LOT of experience on the ladder, and he plays in online tournies, but when was the last time he had a major accomplishment. Other than that I could see IdrA a bit higher, but where you have him isn't ludicrous.

I agree with almost everyone about suppy. Dude has been ridiculously underrated for a while now and with the lul in his tournament appearances its hard to measure him up. Overall though he smashes lots of foreigners.
