I might put Asmodey for his 3-0 score in OGN starleague final first stage...
He was eliminated later by garimto, right?

HovZ for beating up nextel, biggest bw accomplishment of all time

seriously..

Grrrr..
Elky - i believe he also got 3rd at KBK2001?
Slayer - Winning KBK, a HUGE accomplishment.
Leg- MVP for beating XellOs on TV in quite an impressive fashion
FroZ- Beating Boxer 2 times in WCG.

grrrr... elky naz legionnaire and assem for being the highest ranking foreigners on KeSPA which determines a progamers rank and those are the only ones who have ever gained full professional gamer status (i believe). I don't think you can rely argue with this.

P.S. Leg beating Boxer was big and Leg beating XellOs and being only foreigner to ever get mvp award sould rely put him in lists.


That can hardly be considered correct. Neither assem nor leg has ever won anything at all, and while they are great gamers they have not accomplished near the same as people who won something in their prime. For example D22-Soso, D23-Gad, heck even agent has a lot of 2nd places.

We can't only go to korea to measure this, since a lot of the great foreigners were great before sc even hit korea.

to me the talent of a player is more interesting, as accomplishments (we are speaking here about korea - wcg and such) are dependant on luck, environment, chances, connections, desire etc. etc.

so as far as raw talent is concerned it would be something like (order's not that important):

#1 Slayer
#2 SaFT
#3 NTT
#4 Nazgul
#5 sVEN

I wish I had more knowlage of the earlier players other then knowing a little about Grr/elky/maynard/slayer. I dont know anything really about nazgul/slayer/everlast/sven/NTT/smuft/saft and all those other old school Gosus. Some one should make like a early documentry thing that profiles all the old school players :x


And I dont think you can really compare new to old players. Everything was different then. Korean skill wasnt so huge there were more major tournaments outside of korea and the like.
