He is a really amazing player and bashed Idra 2:0 at WCG finals 2009 when he was 14 or 15. Overall a pretty good bw player and his young age is always what amazed me. | ||

And I don't remember him doing anything but beat idra which a lot of foreigners do already. | ||

For a foreign list it becomes really hard since there are way more players involved from different nationalities and people have a hard time being objective. Of course the Korean players have been tested way more often which makes the construction of a Korean list a lot easier. In the foreign scene there haven't been too many players that truly where at the top for a longer period of time though. Just go through all the names in this thread and see how many players are listed. They are all listed because they all seemed to do good at least at one point of the game. I'd probably go with the best players of the last 2 or 3 years (since imo it was easier to be a 'good' player back in the early days), mixed with a couple players that were really great for a longer period of time. Just to pick 10 players: Grrr, Elky, Mondragon, ret, Idra, Nony, White-Ra, PJ, and then maybe Androide & SEn. | ||

Anyway, I decided to compose a comprehensive list based on their regions. Notable players in chronological order from country (I will try to update this as best as I can if I think of anything else): Canada 1. Grrrr... 2. Smuft 3. XiaOzI 4. Testie 5. JF *After these guys you have players like Paul, Fire, AeriALs, Mora, VeG, TT1, Yan, Fayth, Pride, Taurent, Kiwi, Korn, CraZy, etc. You have some crazy memory. This sorta made my day. Thanks for the nod. | ||

Mondi is an amateur who dominated for years, won tournaments, and took game to progamers on a regular basis for ages. He was a leader of one of the biggest clan also. Idra is the contrary. Idra is a professional who has failed for three years not only to do anything at all on the professional stage, but hasn't been able to win the biggest amateur tourneys at his time. There is no doubt that Idra had incredible skill before switching to SC2 (but which talented player wouldn't with the training he had), and that he was the best player around on many aspects: mechanics, knowledge of the game, etc... He is just not the one that I would remember in ten years, especially if you compare him to people like Sen or Mondi. For me, something has always been missing. No vendetta here. I pretty much agree with this post. For years Dissy was foreign starcraft. ToT were the team and he was the best of them, if you asked the random guy on iccup who the best foreigner was it was him. For a while Testie was a contender too but Mondragon was there before and after. To my mind the only foreigners worthy of mention are Mondragon, Testie, White-ra and Nony, Mondragon being by far the most dominant (in terms of years at the top). | ||

Yosh was/is one of the best terrans outside of Korea, he may not have won that many tournaments but the guy was a beast. He's on par with Androide in terms of talent | ||
