Nestea. Losira seems to be the logical runner-up when considering all matchups. Other players might do better in a certain matchup, like July's ZvZ (Still not as good as Nestea's..), or DRG's ZvT. However, when taking everything into consideration, you really can't deny Losira's general well-rounded brilliance.


Wait what.

July's ZvZ is HORRENDOUS.


doing the same timing attack with clear flaws and holes isn't horrendous! oh wait... wait what?

yeah, nestea unarguably. no one is even remotely close (although drg is much better than sen and idra)

Why was this brought back up? It hasn't changed... Still Nestea

Nestea and then July, in fact I expect July to win a GSL before HotS comes out (future wolf said so).

stephano should be on there too now tho until he plays against more koreans or competes at GSL or something where we can more easily compare stephano to nestea, i would still say nestea is the king

Until another zerg player wins at least 1 GSL championship, it has to be NesTea.

King foreign zerg at the moment is Stephano though I believe. Close second is idra and sen.

Foreign zerg is idra by a lot. Stephano isn't that good, overrated. Nestea king, Idra, july, losira, stephano jesters, that's how much better he is than everyone.

Nestea > DRG > Idra

losira, sen and dimaga fit somewhere in there as well.

You realize July is going to the military soon and quitting competitive gaming right, this is probably his last GSL season unless he can somehow play for ACE with a SC2 division

He hasn't proven that he is capable of competing against players that Nestea and the like had to overcome in order to be as successful as they are/were. I don't think its reasonable to claim that he is king of Zerg, no matter the scene.

To me, Zerg King would have to be more then just the best player.
So i am putting Idra out there. Best mechanically, the most famous, most outspoken, in touch with community non stop, consistent results (even during his long slump).

However, I'd consider Nestea, DRG better then him. (and Losira/Sen/Stephano closer to him, can't call it right now).

Many of these don't even make sense. Best mechanically? No. There are korean zergs with better mechanics. Most famous? No I'd say Nestea is more famous. Most outspoken? Yes he has his way with words. Consistent results? No. In touch with the community non-stop? Depends in what way...

No question Idra is the most famous. Nestea is known by koreans and crowds who follow GSL. Idra is known by koreans, GSL'ers, people who watched beta and pretty much any other non korean tourney

I'm not sure that's the case anymore. You saw Browder quote Nestea's name every 2 minutes at Blizzcon? :p And I think worldwide more people follow the korean scene than the other tournaments.

I think most people now know both players though.

On topic, of course Stephano isn't the Zerg king but he deserves to be on the list now. You could make a very good case for him being the best foreign zerg.
