Getting top 3 at the NASL is not a bigger achievement than getting 1st place at Dreamhack and Homestory Cup. uhhh what? It most certainly is because you have to be good for a much longer period of time against good competition, you can't just have a great day or two, you have to be consistently playing well. I could turn your argument on its head and argue that it's easier to have during the regular season one week each time to prepare for a single bo3, since you only have one matchup to train each week (plus you know who you're going to play against so you can also prepare by analyzing that player's style). It's harder in that regard to prepare for every single possible matchup AND player style (since you don't know how you'll be facing), something that is needed to compete at Dreamhack, at the HSC 3 and at the NASL finals. The bottomline is that combining a 1st place at Dreamhack and a 1st place at HSC3, looking at the results needed to achieve both, is a bigger achievement than getting top 3 at the NASL. edit: jimjimchoi, you seem to fail to understand that one can be the best player and still lose to other people. What you have to look at is the global achievements. Especially when so many of the players in nasl were at dreamhack and homestory. first at a lan like dream hack means less then 3rd in a big lan like the nasl which players went through 3 months or fighting to determine the best of the best to go to the finals, unlike dreamhack or mlg which only invites people like mma and wins but goes back to korea and get knocked out

This is about 1st at Dreamhack AND 1st at HSC 3 vs 3rd at NASL.

But such rankings change overtime.
If Dimaga comes and wins MLG Anaheim, for example, he'd probably become the best foreigner Zerg. lol sen tied with idra? lol nope he clearly isnt. if he was best zerg MC would respect him which he doesnt. you just add tied with sen part because this is a forum for foreigners, white people, and all i see is people trying to rep there own country and race here. just like how Americans TL'ers try to claim huk as american/Canadian lmfao. there is no one best player there are just a group of players that are the best. Umm.. after the MC vs. Sen series, MC gave mad props to Sen and basically gave him the utmost respect.

I had a good laugh at your post. MMA is not a top level Korean, and NASL is somehow a 'bigger' LAN than Dreamhack. You're either trolling or retarded.

July, moon, MC and bomber were at dreamhack. And more top foreigners were there.
Edit: oh and Sen was there. He would have played Huk, but he lost to July and then huk beat July.
Seriously, if you are gonna argue at least get your facts straight
Edit 2: my bad, read wrong. Still dreamhack was as difficult as nasl. And we are talking about top foreigners. All the top foreigners were at Dh and homestory. Huk won both

What the fuck are you talking about? MC said after the game that Sen got really good lately and I think there is no bigger sign of respect from MC than that. Stop talking all those bullshit IdrA fanboys. HuK achieved more lately than Sen/IdrA and one some damn hard tournaments and made more money than the others, so just go read a book or something, but stop being ignorant and BS on people not even related to the tournament. I am Swiss and I rep the best foreigners at the moment, not people from my country, so shut up. sen has been good, mc doesn't have time to analysis about how to say sen was good in English when he was in a match... he means sen was good, and respect with a thumbs up too.

He's talking about HSC III, but he forgets about the top foreigners like IdrA, ThorZaiN, Jinro, Naniwa, goody, dimaga, whitera, ret, and a LOT of other top foreigners.

Best foreign zerg I think, but you have to give best foreigner to HuK (winning Homestory III, DreamHack, and 2-0 ing his group in Code S) Ya, it's pretty clear HuK is the best foreigner, but I'd say Sen is easily second, with naniwa and thorzain probably lingering in the background lol huk is best foreigner how? just because he won dreamhack and homestory? huk winning those two small lans doesnt mean much, look at StACE he won iem but fell outa the gsl look at MMA he won mlg but fell outa the gsl you see what i mean? huk is not best foreigner, look at this idra beats huk and sen beats idra, also sen gets 3rd at a big lan with many Koreans that EARNED the right to be there no invites like dreamhack etc
This might be the most illogically conceived post I've ever read. Where to begin?
lol huk is best foreigner how? just because he won dreamhack and homestory? Winning the two most recent and notable lan tourneys, for the most part, is enough for someone to be declared the best foreigner, especially since the scene is still somewhat new and there has been no one who has established clear dominance over other players (both in the foreign and korean scene).
huk winning those two small lans doesnt mean much, look at StACE he won iem but fell outa the gsl look at MMA he won mlg but fell outa the gsl you see what i mean?
Dunno how to respond to the first part. If you think DH and HSC were small lans then maybe me writing this will prove useless. You then list 2 players who fell out of GSL when HuK 2-0'ed his group in Code S, as the only foreigner in it currently (that may change soon though)
huk is not best foreigner, look at this idra beats huk and sen beats idra, also sen gets 3rd at a big lan with many Koreans that EARNED the right to be there no invites like dreamhack etc
First of all, that's not how Starcraft works. If A >B and B > C it doesn't necessarily mean that A > C because there are 3 different races in this game. You could be better/worse at a particular matchup than another person. That's why for the most part results and consistency are the only way to properly judge who is better than who.
Second of all you assume IdrA can beat HuK now when his ZvP still seems shaky and HuK's PvZ feels pretty damn good, not to mention he did 2-1 IdrA in HSC, which doesn't really mean much, but I just find your statement that IdrA > HuK without any backup stupid.
Third of all, the final 16 of NASL were all invites just like DH except for 1 of them. Unless you mean they earned their right by getting through the regular season, which could be a decent point except DH and HSC have the same structure as NASL. Top 2 of Group Play make it into the final 16, just NASL is a bit more complicated and way more stretched out.
BTW, I'm not saying HuK is the best foreign player, I'm saying your logic is very flawed.

Hopefully MC will stay in Korea for a while, so he can practice more then he have the last couple of months. GSL championship incomming next month, if he work hard.
Congrats to Puma tho.

NASL goes by applications, the open tournament winners and previous placements, not invites.

you arguing huk is best foreigner is like arguing mc is best Korean. what about nestea? bomber? mvp? bomber already proved he can beat MC so isnt bomber the best? you see that doesnt work its impossible to say who is the best. there is not one best player but a group of players that are the best
