Ok all the choices mentioned are great, but once again I am amazed noone is mentioning Pillars.
And since it seems EVERYONE who's been to Korea is getting mentioned, then Pillars definitely deserves a mention, oh and Thor.

later, when slayer wasn't that active anymore... i think at this time sven was even better than slayer ... should be around "old" wgtour season 2 when every good player was still playing it.. also to mention is saft and also really oldschool is daaman.. perhaps a part of this oldschool gaming community were [def]kosh and [def]rookie... to get some german involvement

All you people talking about Pillars, Zileas etc, well, sure they were good at their time when there was maybe 100 gosus all around the world, but today when there are thousends their accomplishments can´t even be compared to the likes of Elky´s.


Sure they can. Legends become legends because they either revolutioned the sport, art or whatever or because they were the best that was at their peak. They all quit playing, who knows where they would have beentoday.

Skillwise Saft is definately top5 foreigners of all time, i would say better than that but since he quit at a crucial point it's hard to know what his results would've been in say, Korea.

my oppinion grrr, soso/maynard, slayer. grrr is an obvous choice, soso was amazing back in the days when bw first came out going head to head with everybody pvz from both angles of the matchup in 1.05 which was no easy feat from the toss angle and he did that vs the likes of grrr's zerg which was quite a force back then. maynard because he was really good in the beggenng and slayer because that kid had a ton of talent.

Slayer, he played BoxeR and lost. I think he lost in that match 3-0 not 3-2. Maybe I am wrong. It was so many years ago. It was the last contact with korean players without going to this country. The best player from Europe vs new star from Korea.

He lost 3-0 i believe but the fact he was jet-lagged and he is a terran player, using his zerg to take on boxer was amazing :O (which btw i got reps of slayer beating elky 7-0 zvt -_-)
