you guys are forgetting "Mouse-only Mr. Shooting Shuttle" Zileas... haha ok, really, i guess it would be k-sharp in counterstrike. He got so good with the AWP fastswitching that valve ended up patching it out


it's still in counter-strike.

and he's not even the best counter-strike player :O

How could this not be obviously Grrrr? He's a strong candidate when people talk about the best SC/BW player ever even when it's including Koreans, it should be obvious if you take them out of consideration. Elky is consistently good, but he hasn't been around nearly as long and seems to have gotten really good only when replays came out. Other than Elky, there's nobody close to Grrrr among the non-Korean gaming community.

cyric is exactly right, its not your favorite its best ever. While NTT to some was best in the world at one time (whether this is factual or opinion is up to you) Grrrr... was also the best at one point and has made so much more money than any other non korean ever. I mean seriously, his pro gaming income allows him to live in korea for like 3-4 years, no one else can even come close to that =o

Smuft would have gone through WCG flawless, after imppressive performance at TLT, no one was at his level.

Fisheye is really good indeed I like his style and attitude very much, but I really don't think he could deal with someone like Blackman for instance. Then Blackman should be considered.

Edit: If I recall, Blackman beat him pretty bad WCG 2002 and don't recall where else

It's definately Elky or Grrrr, personally, id say Grrrr. Im just annoyed that every tvp that i see elky in, he loses to a dt rush. heh =), slightly exaggerated, but it has happened often.

elky in his prime would beat grrr in his prime, as would several other players. relative to their eras, grrr is so far ahead of everyone else its not even funny

My hope is one day ARROGANT people will feel the same pain when they talk, as the pain the rest of us feel when we hear them.

i cant believe nobody mentions FroZ.

Oh, and was Private[pG] Nal_GG? Cos if he was Daaman he deserves a replay for completely raping the fuck out of yellow in some WSL game.
Blackman is a fucking legend, but Grrrr / NTT claim the throne for best ever foreigners. like some other guy said, they bashed the fuck out of pro kors like nobody else.

Best non Korean...

I know there are a lot of amazing bw players, most of them mentioned in the previous posts. But whatsoever, we are talking about the top of the top (some funny rap - "MiB" so unlogicaly the throne belongs to two players:

NTT & Grrr...

Their achievements are well known, so I shall not repeat then, but I am going to propose this division:

Best non Korean toss user of all times: Grrr...
Best non Korean terran user of all times: NTT (known as hasudrone)

As a terran player and fan, I will comment only why NTT deserves to be Nr. 1

On his first apierence in Korea (yes, he was there, 2 place), he was offered to stay there as a pro, having 4 suggestions. Refused all of them.

He is definitly the best macro_fucker in the world, with an insane micro and disturbing creativity!! As someone mentioned above "nobody used to kick so bad Koreans". His vision over the game was kind a shocking ( Anyone seen another player pushed from 12 dragoons and a shuttle with reavers, sending them all back to Auir via throwing at them his mighty legions of SCVs?!? NO!!! )

A lot can be told about his skills, but will finish with his worst. He was arogant, never admitted that this is just a waste of time, looked at the other at least ironic. Never prepared himself seriously for the competitons and finally, in his apogee, he retired!

Anyway, he is my choise... he is The Terran Choise!

i dont think u can compare Fisheye with gamers like Grrrr... or Elky or any other Korean Pro Toss.
But whats the big differnce between Saft,Nazgul,Smuft and Fisheye ?

I think Fisheye was more successfull than Smuft and Saft were. I dont know if they ever won around 20000 $ with bw. DId they ?
And if we dont talk about success, we talk about style ? Oldschool ?
Tricky play? Impressive games ?

Tell me whats the big difference between fisheye and Nazgul,Smuft,Saft ?

Fisheye beat Grrrr.. twice in wcg.. pwnd elky and silent_control.
I mean where is your objective argument, why he isnt comparable with the mentioned tosses. Expect Grrrr... ( who is simpley thenr1 non korean ever ) i dont agree with you.

What did Smuft reach in Bw ? I mean cash ? Any tournaments ?
And yes his games vs Zeus on nnwo or some other games were really nice. But i really think that the toss list looks more like that :

1.Grrrr..., Zileas
2.Saft,Nazgul,Fisheye
3.Smuft, others..
4.Rekrul, Willet ect..
