Stephano is pretty good bro

That's a matter of opinion of course but Sheth has shown more results lately and recent games of Idra vs Sheth where also taken by the later.

If it was "Who is your favorite progamer" maybe my answer would be different, but since its "Who is the best progamer" i don't know how anyone else could even be CONSIDERED other than Huk. Still the only foreigner to win lan events with koreans there right? Still the only foreigner to maintain a spot in Code S, something that a number of great Koreans can't do. Hes the clear and only choice. No, Dimaga won Assembly.
Huk is the third foreigner to ever EARN a Code S spot, after IdrA and Jinro. Some people have highlighted the fact that back when IdrA hit RO8 and Jinro hit RO4, SC2 was severely unrefined compared to now, but I won't get into that and simply assume that this poll counts more 'recent' performances ('recent' may vary from individual perspective).
Huk has maintained his Code S status for 6 months now (GSL May, July, August, October), a tournament where even the best in the world fall out of (IM.Mvp, MarineKingPrime.WE, etc).
Huk is the first and one of two foreigners to win a LAN tournament that is dominated by Koreans.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying Thorzain is bad. In fact, I'm a fan of his and I'd put him to a close second. But I'm still shocked that so many people have voted for Thorzain over Huk. I know I might be riding the whole Code S idea here, but is there any other tournament in the world held regularly at a LAN setting with arguably the best of the best, with players like Nestea/Mvp?
It's "who's the best foreigner", not "who's my favorite foreigner" or "who's the best foreigner not playing in tournaments where the best players in the world play for various reasons including but not limited to not wanting to stay in Korea".

Why is IdrA here ?
(serius question...)

I feel like HuK, Thorzain, Naniwa and Sen are the only real contenders at the moment, with both actual results to their name as well as being able to compete with good Koreans in a LAN setting.
I would x out naniwa and replace him with MaNa and you have a top list of foreigners there. Mana has been playing much more stable then nani right now IMO. It seems mana just executes the basic fundamentals without being flashy almost better than any foreigner out there minus thorzain.

Yeah so what's the result? Rank #1 on EU ladder and won some online tourneys? Please go to LAN like MLG and run marathon in there to prove himself lol

ThorZaIN after his stay in korea his play has been stellar

I'd vote Huk but if you aren't going to include Jinro the poll isn't worth voting in. Kas over Jinro? Really now.

lol at this thread.... just plain lol

Yes, IdrA is a serious contender for last place in this poll, but others as well.

I think a lot of people are mixing up "most skilled player at the moment" and "most accomplished player". Sure Idra and Jinro have big accomplishments, but they have been losing a lot lately.
Stephano didn't accomplish much, but IMO he is the best at the moment.
Pretty good list actually. Might add Nerchio and White-Ra.

1. You don't have half as many people that should be up there.
2. You have people who will never reach that title so why they are up their is because of you.
3. Hundreds of these polls exist and accomplish nothing.
4. For everyone saying IdrA shouldn't be on that list your stupid, hes the best foreigner in the world with accomplishments and general skill level being unsurpassed by any one of those players. He's an American which will and always has made him a foreigner.
4.He WAS the best foreigner last year, right now, He may not be even on top 10.

I think Thorzain is a pretty good bet. No weak MU:s and best recent big tournament result.
Stephano is promising, but he's gotta show he can beat other good players in equal latency games first.

Dimagafanboy here.
You know what my answer is
