I still wonder what would have happen if Snute would have beaten Flash that day (concerning Snute's results, not the Flash fans making the LR explode).

Taeja wasn't really playing that great on that day. And, I think that if you can beat 2 of the best Kespa protosses, you can beat a third one as well. Zest wasn't on his maximum level in that tournament either. If you see Snute vs Taeja, surely you think that Taeja should win, but If Snute is at his best, which he was, and Taeja isn't, and he wasn't then, he could have beaten him I'd agree with that; but it assumes that Snute went 3-0 against Flash in convincing fashion. And he almost got it, but sadly choked. Even if he won 3-2, I would've guessed that he would fall against TaeJa. Snute almost did that.

I reckon that we're gonna see a foreigner at Blizzcon next year though; with the region lock incoming and what I presume to be a good deal of Koreans retiring. Yeah but Naniwa was... Naniwa. As for next year I'd put my money on 2 foreigner making it, with seeds between 14 and 16 tbh Naniwa was actually one of my favourite players last year. Wasn't he the best foreigner ever or really really close to that? In terms of results and consistency, I'd rate him close to the top. Probably top 2 Protoss (depending on how you rate HuK) and depending on the year, one of the top foreigners, and maybe top players depending on the era. It's funny to think that Huk was so good at a point. It seems impossible right now. I think that best foreigners were Naniwa, Stephano, HuK (IdrA maybe?)

VortiX has been regularly playing very well in WCS EU but since he's part time we never see him at foreign events where he could meet some KR Koreans. And lately Bunny ofc

MajOr is strange though, it seems he has really really good mechanics and all but somehow never wins something meaningful
