How is Scarlett "undisputed" in front of Luci? They both have about the same results. (well Luci has better actually, including him beating Scarlett 3:0 at this ipl dice thingy)


That was 4 months ago. At some point you have to let go of past results.

Am i the only one having trouble seeing units and health bars on the stream? Seems like there is way too much contrast or something, plus some strange aliasing.
edit: and for the love of god if you're going to hide health bars at least choose the option that allows to see damaged unit one, I hate when i can't see the energy on ghost and templars because the obs doesnt select them

As opposed to Scarlett's current results

SeleCT dit not play badly, TLO just played an amazing series. I also think the 3-0 is due to the fact that SeleCT did not look prepared against TLO's style, for instance in game 3 I think he should've switch to tank way earlier, and play super defensive. TLO's drop defense was also top notch. TLO is definitely in the top10 foreigner list, maybe even top 5. Give 1 or 2 more month to SeleCT and he might join him, he showed glimpses of really great play these last few weeks.

Who do people feel are top10 right now?
(Not in order) TLO, Snute, Stephano, NaNiwa, SaSe, LucifroN, and beyond that group it gets really muddy.


Do Chinese players count as foreigners?

Well, are Chinese players Korean?


Nope, but no one ever mentions Jim or Sen when talking about top foreigners, so I wasn't sure.


To be fair Sen would really struggle to make anyone's top ten anymore. Jim, yeah that's a fair shout, but it's easy to forget about the Chinese. Also aside from the rare 1 hour stream, the (admitadly easy) WCS group he obliterated and buzzwords like "#1 KrGM" people still know very little about him.

I've doubted Sen before but he always manages to pull out some great play at international tournaments he appears in. I agree that he hasn't played particularly well in WCS.

Chinese players are hard to rate for me. MacSed has looked like nothing special, but Jim seems to play extremely well. I'd need to see Jim play more before I put him in the top 10 foreigners.

On the subject of the game we're watching, Illusion really needs to clear the observers that are all over his army.

No foreigners have 'great' results. Except for Naniwa and Stephano.

Its better to rank in terms of skill/potential, and Lucifron/Scarlett are both pretty high up there. Difficult to split them.

Jim is for sure a top foreigner. He may not have won anything but if you've seen him play you'd understand what I mean

Well, they both beat some Koreans and lose to others, LucifroN got a bit further in WCS (granted, it's easier in Europe) and Scarlett doesn't attend foreign tournaments pretty much.

I strongly disagree with the statement that Scarlett is clearly ranked above him. Not that it matters much.

I wonder why illusion doesn't scan to snipe observers. Guess his APM can't handle another task?

Not surprised why Mouz let illusion go. His play seems like he is rusty from a lack of practice

That's what happens when the Terran doesn't rebuild his vikings.

I wasn't saying one way or another who was definitively better. But a 4 month old results is kinda not as relevant.

Aligulac top10 foreigners does a pretty good job

It hugely inflates luci tho

If LucifroN isn't in someone's top ten foreigner list, then that probably immediately disqualifies him from making a list.

He's on my top ten for sure but i don't think he's leaps and bounds above everyone else...but I'm not a pro or even a great player so idk
