The fact that Ret is so low yet IdrA is so high is pretty disgusting. xD

Ret/Huk/Thorzain are PROBABLY the best of their respective races. Although it is incredibly easy for me to replace Ret with Stephano/Nerchio/Sen and Huk with Naniwa/Sase/(maybe MaNa). Thorzain is probably the best Terran though


Both idra and ret have more results than Stephano and Nerchio, results matter more than ladder stomping

Sen is going to get worse because he is in Taiwan, no longer playing KR servers and will get worse very quickly.

Clarification : He is focusing on Taiwan esports and tourneys, he is not even top 200 on KR/TW ladder and doesn't practice as much there.



Uhm... So he was better off in Fnatic in terms of practice partners? :S I dunno, he didn't really participate that much in any Korean events anyway, except for a long time ago in GSL.

Polls like this are quite limiting.. as a few are worthy contenders for my vote. Idra definatly wins the not deserving vote tho, way to much publicicy not enough good performances.

Kas has neither, and is worse than Idra atm, so he's even less deserving

Funny how people say idra has no results. He has won MLG, IPL1 and qualified for every GSL he attended and made it to ro8 once. I think thants more then most people on that list.

Why is there a need for something like this? It's only going to be a huge popularity contest.

Keeping recent results in mind, it sure looks like Thorzain is the strongest foreign Terran (Select is Korean, guys) AT THE MOMENT. The other races are more difficult to call, and the rankings switch around so much it's really hard to tell anything.

We'll just have to see what guys are still around and being competitive in a year or so (maybe more), and maybe then this will have more merit, but the game has only been out a year (and the expansion is coming, lolololol).

But really, the thread should be "Favourite foreigner" instead of "The Best(fOu)".

Yes but we are talking now, not 3months ago. Have you watched IdrA recently ? He definitely isn't top5 foreigner anymore. For me it's pretty close between Huk and Thorzain but i'd say Huk since he is still code S. Stephano has the potential to become #1 tho, but is not up there yet.

Nerchio went through Ret, Idra, Thorzain... loads of top players to get to the finals of IPL2.

Mana isn't hyped by the community, even though he's outperforming basically everyone else right now. And all that matters in these polls is hype and personality apparently.

Stephano/Nerchio shouldnt be counted amongst top before they have shown they can hold their own against Koreans

Not sure how Idra can even be in such a poll, I wouldn't consider him amongst the Top20 foreign players even.

I'd consider Thorzain to be the best at the moment, with Stephano and Huk in second and third.
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.
