The great result of this tournament is, that out of the 8 foreigners at BlizzCon, 2 will make sense (I am sure, Snute got enough WCS points to get there with some other minor victories). Snute and Polt definitely belong to BlizzCon.
But who else? OK, maybe Hydra, but he is not THE star. But what about the other five? Everybody else will be ROFLstomped at BlizzCon. So who will be the other five? Consistently good? I really don't know. Maybe MarineLord, Nerchio? But they are not the top class. MarineLorD, Nerchio, ShoWTimE, Hydra would be my bet and they all can be as strong as Snute imo. Other than that I think Vortix will actually somehow make it and he can be super good too. Too bad he could not play this time. Then another frenchie like Lilbow, Drogo, Dayshi or FireCake will probably make it. Solid enough imo, although a few of them will get stomped.
Yes, they are good (ShowTime, Nerchio), but they are not at the Korean level. Snute can easily lose to them, but when he plays the Koreans, he somehow switches to the higher speed and is able to sometimes beat them. I can't say that about any other top foreigner.

Polt vs. Classic g4.
Sadly he still lost the series, but like... Polt's still super clutch.

that biomech timing he did on Overgrowth still haunts me. Such a thing of beauty, even Classic who's not the last one to do unusual builds was left speechless.

Snute still hasn't won something TL considers a Premier tournament since 2012. Such a shame.

To be fair, I believe there have been three non-Korean premier wins since 2012, no?

People do not want to think, to be rational, to have solid grounds for things ; they want gambles, randomness, unexplained stuff that leaves room for magical/supernatural interpretation. Why do you think RNG games have such success?
How is it logic to put a foreigner #1 tho, Stephano is retired
