Im surprised noone has mentioned Advokate taking a game of Jaedong in WCG 2009. Imo that's almost bigger than PJ beating Savior in 2007 eventhough that was a BO3.
Live2Win is awesome. Happy new year scarabi!

after the skill gap between koreans and foreigners became evident only 4-5 players ever rivaled some of the progamers mechanically - androide, idra, arguably ret and some of the chinese (pj and lx). Others succeeded quite a few times with solid thought-out plays and stellar execution, nony is the best example

if you talk about talent - probably froz, androide and ret

Don't forget about Nony, he has always been a great mechanical player.

Foreign BW is dead now, but a few great players from different eras are:

IdrA,
Mondragon,
Grrr,
Nony,
Ret,
Incontrol
Legionnaire

Androide and Brat_OK were also pretty good.

PJ was perhaps the most skilled non-korean. He's retired now, but he was the best chinese player and even took games off players like Bisu and Savior at WCG.


Yeah, through cheese and completely unnatural play compared to how Koreans play.

I'd like to see PJ play Bisu if Bisu had the opportunity to watch some of his PVP VODS before the match, because you know PJ has watched Bisu play plenty.

Good posts here. I've been following competitive BW since 2002 or so, and it's cool to see some oldschool names pop up.

But nobody seems to have answered the second part of the original question: who are the best foreigners NOW? It seems like most everyone that has been listed already has retired from BW (or am I wrong?).

Love to hear about it.

The release of sc2 essentially killed the foreign bw scene since all the players moved over to the new game. There's still a few playing bw, but it's certainly not many. Going through this year's WCG finals and prelims is probably your best bet to look for them.

Mondragon Testie Androide Sen Incontrol were always at top for the longest ever. Especially mondragon.


Edit: I'll have to agree with intrigue, Guybrush's post is pretty much Fact.

I didn't see much love for White-Ra and Strelok here, but they were also among the top of the foreign BW scene before SC2. Of course I agree with the other names presented in the thread.

Who is better between PJ and Mondragon?
Ya well, at least I don't fuck a fleshlight with a condom on and cry at the same time.

There's a huge difference between "greatest" and "best." Tons of people are listing achievements and thats how great you were. Best specifically means peak level so theres no point mentioning old school players at all
