Ok who are you talking about? Haypro, Jinro, Ret, Incontrol and all the no-names actually didn't win anything in Europe/US before they went to Korea. The only real "top" player who went to Korea was Huk (and maybe Kiwikaki) and he (they) only tried once (with jet lag).

Hahahah yea.. ret is so bad at this game he came back for a single tournament and ripped off assembly without even trying. Out of the whole foreigner players that are not yet on korea I'd say only white-ra has any chances of reaching code S. A few others might reach code A, maybe kas, select or sjow, but that's about it. And that's code A.
The main reason for this is not sheer skill, but rather lack of consistency, the fact that so many unknown players qualified for TSL3 shows how inconsistent top US/EU players are.
@Below poster: Sure, I'm not complaining, I'm just saying it wouldn't happen if top players were more consistent in their results.

He didn't call them no names if you read it carefully. He's probably referring to the Spades or cArns or Carefoots of the world who are decent players in their own right but haven't accomplished much in their respective servers before travelling all the way to Korea and not making it.
Not every foreigner who attempts to qualify for the GSL should be considered as a top foreign representative.

Jinro won MLG Dallas before he went to Korea.
edit: I might be wrong on this. I believe Dallas was in November and Jinro was trying to qualify for GSL since the beginning (October) and didn't make the cut until Season 3 (December).

acutally, haypro was not even a top 5 zerg in eu and wasnt winning anything - not even being near it.
Incontrol, Torch n/c, both semi-good even in NA [lolol].
Ret is a monster, for sure, he just wanst good in EU cause he started with Sc2 very late. if he wouldve stayed in EU he would be top 3 zerg with dimaga and morrow anyway.
Jinro was a good, but not even a Top EU-terran before going to Korea. Ofc, you cant blame him for training more than the EU's now, but it just shows, how great top-lvl "foreigners" would do with korean training standards - and even without TBH.
€: to the guy over me:
Jinro was long time in korea BEFORE mlg dallas, just like tlo was. he just didnt perform well in GSL before.

No clue how you can name 5 Zergs better than Haypro in the period he was in Europe for. Haypro was #1 ELO for a part of the Beta and winning tournaments left and right in that period. Only Zerg at his level was Dimaga. Nobody in Europe was anywhere near these two. Get your facts right.

Like I said in my edit, I got my time line wrong. No need to yell. Calm down. It's just Starcraft.

Jinro was in korea before dallas, he came to the US with the rest of the Liquid players for MLG then after he won and went back to korea he has been on his awesome GSL run

Just a small note.. in the GCPL matches, haypro's record is 4-1 or something like that. He's by no means a pushover or a bad player, playing in the GSL is just hard.

We are talking about the time BEFORE they went to Korea.
Maybe I was wrong saying that Haypro didn't win anything as Nazgul pointed out, but I think that he wasn't at Dimaga's level at the time (more at the level of zpux, mardow and orly in the Beta).
And no, I'm not saying that Haypro, ret and Incontrol are no-names.

Overrating GSL? Anyone who believes that GSL is not by far the most competitive league is either ignorant or in denial.
