After him i'd say Saft was the best foreigner, much closer to judge though and some people like Nazgul, Daaman etc was definately close. After them i'd have to give it to Testie/Mondi/Draco. You mentioned 2 of them, and the only other player in your list that could ever claim to have been among the top3 foreigners is Smuft. A hint that might enlighten you is that the good foreigners never even bothered to enter US east. smuft, draco, daaman, and testie I never went worse than 50-50 with, and I played them all at least 5 times.... really doubt it's gotten THAT much better over 4 years. | ||

I can prove this point really easily. Find out what iccup is, log on. type /m get.attackzerg and I'll show you how play has changed. We can even play the outdated (terrible) maps that know. | ||

Strange that you never even got on the US team then as we walked over you and i dare say that none of the players on the team would score 50% against Smuft/Daaman in 01/02, in 03/04 when draco/testie got very good, no american would. | ||

Good job blindly posting something like this when you have no idea of my level of skill or handspeed. A lot of people can understand the game and what builds you need to use, very few have the actual speed to be able to turn that knowledge into WINS against other good players. I'll gladly try iccup as well, thanks for blindly doubting me!!! | ||

When he was young he didn't do well, as he got older he did great. Good job on beating him, I fortunately got to observe him and replays of him against every good player in 2003-2004 when he spent some time helping me. Testie is up there with mondi and draco and grrrr... He is also one of the select few non koreans to beat pro gamers in tournament play... Just because your back doesn't mean you can post like this man.... (P.S testie posts here , don't make an inactive canadian come beat you down  )lolll | ||

I'll gladly try iccup as well, thanks for blindly doubting me!!! You realize I've played you back in your "glory days" and you are significantly overstating your skill level at that time. Regardless, I believe you will not do well as you have no understanding of the current strategies. More importantly, the importance of mechanics has shifted to a level you won't be used to: Micro is a lot cleaner and efficient and macro is quite a bit more important than back in the day. You will beat low level players who aren't used to your older style, but once you get anywhere in the middle skill level it will all come crashing down. | ||
