But what NA players would not be underdogs vs all of those?

Rotti lost a bet against Bitter. I don't remember what game it was though, but I think it was during their EU qualifier cast.

Polt is at least better than those two. Last got roflstomped in code S and then went 1-2 to a CJBunny (whoever that is).

Don't get me wrong, Polt is good, but there are soo many good players in korea right now, it's insane.

He hasnt been playing as well in HoTS but he's still at least equal to Polt. Polt just got knocked out of Dreamhack by Huk and Grubby.

Wouldnt say that. TBH, Polt is doing really freakin' well for someone that is also going to veterinary school in a foreign country. Might still be in the top ten, but he's still definitely within the top ten NA terrans. (Of those actually geographically in NA, that is.) Polt is just studying English in the US actually. As for his ranking in Terrans, I would say he definitely is in the top ten, it just seems ridiculous to exclude him from the list.
Innovation, Flash, Yoda, Gumiho, Bomber, Taeja, Keen, Maru, Byun, MKP.
Honorable Mentions: Fantasy, Last, Reality.

I'd say Polt is indeed somewhere in the top ten for sure. Lucifron deserves a mention to be honest. The way he has been bossing the Acer cup and WCS EU deserves some credit.
Nah Dreamhack Coin bumps him just off the list.

SuperNoVa is a really good player.
I just dispute that people downplay Polt's skill just because he's over in NA. He wasn't showing great games in Dreamhack granted, but his MLG form was over and above many other Korean-based Terrans there.
Polt hasn't suddenly atrophied, he was a GSL Terran when he left after all

That coin is a great measurement of skill.

Polt was considered a weak player when he won 4-0 against mma and claimed his first major championship.
He was then considered a has been the following month and suddenly bam he was back winning major tournaments against the likes of stephano.
He is currently focusing on other stuff and we dont have a constant measurement of his skill but he is the type of player that suddenly pops up again after being forgotten for a long time

Sound - that kid scares me. I don't see a lot of him, but he's incredibly solid. Definitely contentious, but we'll see if he fades. Keen - incredibly solid but less well known because he does not travel. But he's stayed in Code S for a long time. MKP - People forget that MKPs achievement vastly outmatch Polt and MKP is still in contention to become the second person to get the Nestea award. No contest.
The rest I'd be willing to grant, but Polt also doesn't have many results recently.
