Saw a third place from Sen at Blizzcon. Which is the best result you can expect from any foreigner, with MVP and Nestea there.
We don't see as much from Sen, but everytime we see him, we can see that he's the top foreigner Zerg.
SC2 Archon needs "Terrible, terrible damage" as one of it's quotes.

He's greedy as fuck because he's so good at scouting that he knows exactly when a push is coming and he'll know if an allin is coming.

Stephano has beaten HuK multiple times, he beat MarineKing, former Code S player Violet, 4-0ed Lucky, he also beat TheStC, who knocked Idra out of IPL3 and came 3rd at MLG Orlando, oh and he beat Inori for good measure. Nestea is obviously the Zerg King, but people who dismiss Stephano after the last couple of months are idiotic.


Huk is not really the most consistent player. He can play really well or really bad and seems to be really affected by traveling.

He beat MKP on an online qualifier, we never know if there was latency problem for either player, and beat him at eswc, where MKP was even more jetlaged and didn't have as much preparation time as he usually has.

Violet never had any impressive results when he was in code s and I believe he isn't even in code a anymore.

Lucky worst MU is zvz.

Thestc beat stephano at mlg just after thewind told him what stephano weaknesses were.

Inori is bad at pvz, and if I remember well the games were close.

I'm not saying that he is bad or he is not the best foreigner, just that he didn't have any victory where I can really think that we can count him as being as good as many people seem to think he is.

The best way to know if a foreigner is really good is living in korea and participate to GSL. So nobody has the excuse being jetlaged and the players have time to practice for their opponents, which shows who is really better IMO.


He beat MKP offline, please before talking know what ur saying...


He said he beat him at ESWC, please read next time.



nvm, im too tired of people talking without even knowing any results, but nvm nvm

Where is stephano?
I mean, he may not be the best, but he should be on that poll.

It just depends on the matchups for the #2 spot really. Idra has trouble with ZvP, DRG has trouble with ZvP, Losira has trouble with ZvT... ZvZ is coinflips all around. Stephano hasn't really been proven vs top level koreans yet, imo.

Can't believe there are people who voted Idra as the Zerg King.

He's unquestionably the NA Zerg King, but they need to be reminded that there exists other places outside than NA lol.
These maybe very well the same people who think USA is the only country in the world

IGN Stephano first beat, Violet 2-0, then Inori 2-1, then TheSTC 3-1, then Lucky 4-0.
ESWC he beat Marineking.

Maybe they vote him because he is top3 foreign zerg? Top5 foreign in general?

It is silly to vote anything but Nestea as Zerg King as of now... At least in terms of skill

so when someone says he beat a lot of code s players, they actually mean code a & b players who are as good as code s? ok i got it.


No, I obviously meant the Code S players that were mentioned in other replies that you chose to ignore for some reason.

Oh yes that is quite the scary match up of Top Koreans! Oh wait...

Except MKP those aren't really the top, or even close to the top.

Stephano has not beaten any top Korean. MKP is inconsistent, everybody knows it. MVP/Nestea/Bomber/MC and maybe a few more are the top Koreans. You gotta beat them to be consindered one of the best.

I said nestea for obvious reasons BUT Idra is looking great recently and i think if he continues to improve then Idra has a chance to take over as the best Zerg player on the circuit.

Imo, it goes like this

1.- NesTea
2.- DRG
3.- Losira

I don't think there's any way either Stephano or Idra can be placed top 3 overall right now. The rest would go on sth like this:

4.- CoCa
5.- Curious
6.- July
7.- Idra
8.- Sen
9.- Stephano
10.- DIMAGA

Whether the foreigners listed can go in the top 5... I don't know, I find the korean zergs more solid overall, and the foreigners need to step into korea to prove themselves yet. Out of those listed, I think Stephano and DIMAGA have the biggest potential, but DIMAGA doesn't want to go to korea so I think his level won't rise too much.

Then there's other korean zergs like BBongBBong, Line, JookTo, Seal, which are pretty difficult to rank considering how little we get to see them, but they've shown insane potential.

No, obviously none of the foreign Zergs can touch the top Korean Zergs, but I responded that Idra was top3 FOREIGN zerg and overall top 5 FOREIGNER.

I haven't seen much of any of the Koreans, as I don't follow GSL sadly. BUT from what I have seen, July isn't that good. Should be placed a spot further down. I have not seen anything of Curious at all, so dunno if he should be placed that high either? I don't think Dimaga has that huge of a potential., I think Idra and Stephano have the biggest potential of the foreign zergs

I feel like Nestea is undoubtably number 1 ATM, but that DongRaeGu is closing in on him quite fast with Losira in 3rd, with Idra and Stephano tying for best foreigner

Nestea best zerg in the world and Stefano is the best foreigner (mainly because Idra is just so bad ZvP). Id still like to see Nestea play in a MLG environment where there are so many games in a day (like he did in BlizzCon) where you don't have days to prepare for your opponent. Id like to see how he can adjust to opponents he does not have a scouting report on.
