Elky Slayer/myself NTT Grrr and Elky should really speak for themselves. If you think about there's noone who is able to claim one of their spots in this list. Possible changes that I would consider are switching myself one position with Slayer and maybe replacing NTT with someone I cannot think of right now. For people wondering how I dare to considering myself equal to Slayer (which I don't per definition - I think it's a tossup and understand anyone picking him over me, but the other way aroudn as well) I won WCG NLD three times (Slayer won WCG Norway zero times though to his credit only two tries of which 1 when he was active) including a 4-1 win over NTT (included on most lists) and many wins over Strafe/Twisted/Ret 5th in 2001 (wins over Tomson Fisheye Gundam MTY CQ2000 ending up 5th with that) 7th in 2002 1st in two of the earlier WGTour seasons, got second in the 3rd (2-3 final vs Saft) 1st two TL tournaments, got second in the third 1st PGChallenge 2003 in Prague (Socke Daaman Fisheye Destroyer) 1st OsloLAN 2003 (splitted 1st, we never played the final due to misserable organization) This is a list excluding anything I have done in Korea to make it fair. Probably forgetting some stuff as well. I'd say that should give Slayer a run for his money. Arrogance or realism? who knows. I just felt like digging up some results since I doubt anyone remembers them. | ||

2) Obiwan_Elkynobi 3) Smuft (?) He's been on pro-team w/ top 2 and im sure many accomplishments as well. Many may not like him, but I remember he won the WSL through some controversy. I don't think he should be neglected. I think he's done better than Slayer or Assem or even whear. 4) Fisheye[pG] He's been placing well in WCG's all the time, taking #2 in 2003 5) [GG99]Slayer | ||

I just felt like digging up some results since I doubt anyone remembers them.  First time I see you post yourself in a ranking. I think Slayer has accomplished more by winning KBK by playing with all races, random. After Slayer I'll put NTT just because I like his style and the fact that he had won 3rd price at WCGC and doing okay in KBK (if I remember correctly). I do think you deserve a spot on the list though, so don't get me wrong. | ||

Skillwise SaFT was one of the best in his time but he didnt get many chances to prove himself but the GAME-Q tournament which was cancelled and in WCG he kind of blew it. Id say sweden was the best gaming nation at one time...-99 or -00 with daaman multi straylight and 5th clan and a little later )Si( nd ~yyr so i could easily place 10 swedes in top 20 world on an early stage and i think daaman could agree on that :p (atleast his personal favourite multifaith). I dont think Elky accomplished much either he was simply not good enough for the koreans altho he got 2nd in wcg once which probably was his greatest performance. Maynard the same he was an awesome gamer but these 2 couldnt compete with the games per day the koreans were doing. Whoever DONT place slayer as 2nd after GRRR is pretty ignorant...slayer was probably the worlds best player when he played ACTIVE and he learned the game fast...as daaman did but im pretty sure everyone agrees that GRRR has had most achevements and also had the coolest playstyle ... so 1. GRRR 2. Slayer other than that we have nobody who has shown themself outside korea that can win on a regular basis vs koreans. So id rather have top 5 cool gamingstyles (of foreigners) ! 1. NTT ( nobody can disagree on that ) 2. Grrr ( the grrr exp was awesome when u saw old mpegs of it on bw.com ) 3. Tsunami ( he could easily win games with units that nobody used and played really different ) 4. Satanik ( satanik is a do or die strategy user very often and has really funny strategies too ) 5. Smuft ( id say smufts canon mannering made me laugh alot of times when watching -.-V ) id say these 5 have a natural talent and creativity that makes broodwar fun to watch....everyone else, including me, are pretty much mainstream and its kinda boring that ppl like us can catch up to these players so fast with alot of games per day or replays per day that talent doesnt mean as much....cause seriously we all know...boxer and yellow are the most "TALENTED" broodwar players  | ||
