Dear TL.net Blog Reading Community,

after adding a lot of foreign BW Tournaments of ages ago, I found myself asking some questions. I found evidence of an unexplainable factor, one I'm trying to find an answer to. So much for the introduction.

Knowing a little about questionnaire design theory, I feel like I shouldn't really explain in detail what the purpose of the following questions are - to not influence you and to receive unbiased opinions. I'll probably use it in one way or the other to expand my Brood War History blog, so it's not for nothing.

I'm going to ask you who - in your opinion - the best three Terrans in foreign history were (feel free to add current players). I'm interested in amateur players, so people who weren't going to Korea, meaning no Idra, Elky, or Assem. Afterwards tell me where you're from - roughly. That's all.

If there's enough response, I can update the blog in a few days (or whenever there are answers) and tell you what it was about.


Questions!

I'm not a knowledgeable StarCraft historian, so the only one I know of is Androide. He beat Jaedong and stuff :D
Slayer was also one of the best players for his time, but he was a race picker.

Poll done, blog added to bookmarks. Seems like a hell of interesting read before me!

BTW, the question was quite difficult - I had to open Liquipedia to find some suitable candidates.

my vote was:
1) Androide
2) Advokate/A2
3) Strelok

Brat_OK earned a honorable mention, since he challenged Strelok for third place quite heavily..

Androide & A2, the 3rd would be either Strelok or Brat_OK, and I'm leaning more towards Strelok mostly because of his 3rd place at WCG. It's hard to compare chinese players that are no Pj and Lx to foreigners, Phoenix66 and Super could definitely compete. And I don't know much about Froz besides that Americans were hyping him which doesn't have to mean much.

Would have been IdrA at #1 easily if you hadn't excluded him, haha.

Short of that, Strelok for sure.

Androide, Super, Strelok in no specific order.

Advokate, ChinaTTTT, Hellghost, Slayer, Beast, and Ex deserve to be mentioned though.

You better have a good reason to exlude players that turned pro. They didn't get good because they went to Korea but they got extremely good hence they went to Korea and went pro (well, applies to all the players besides Idra).

He'll come to your house and take no prisoners.
I went for Advokate/Androide/Strelok. I forgot about Chinese Terrans. I guess Super deserved to be on there too.
